  1. What's the scale like roughly, Saburo? 1/100? 1/60? I know the Cosmo Zero is smaller in size compared to a Valk in the same scale. Anyway, can't wait to see more of your pics of the Cosmo Zero, especially with your Yamato Girls!
  2. Have one incoming with Amiami. That's a big box! Can't wait to get mine! Hehe, somehow I knew that Saburo would have one. Planning to do a reshoot of your Yamato girls with tthe Cosmo Zero?
  3. Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to keep mine away from sunlight as well.
  4. That's reassuring to hear! I read in some forums that some owners of #1008 complained of yellowing in their figures. I guess it's all about storage methods. How do you store your #1008 Ignacio?
  5. Oops, missed the 1. I meant the #1012, hehe! I can only afford to get one right now. And Jungle had a sealed #1012 for a very good price. Cheaper than getting a B grade #1006 too.
  6. Thanks Noel! I watched that video yesterday already. That's what's got me to ask about the yellowing in the first place. Tried searching for feedback from other forums but wasn't able to get a clear answer. Anyway, I ended up ordering the #0012. Got inspired by the completion of the Gundam Unicorn Statue in Diver City.
  7. I have an Autoart 22B, does that count?
  8. Hey guys! Just a quick question: which is more prone to yellowing, the GFFMC #1006 or the #1012? Unicorn Gundams? I passed on getting one of these before but am tempted to get one after seeing that aftermarket prices have gone down quite a bit. Which one would you recommend of the two versions? Thanks!
  9. I live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia bro. Driving here is quite the experience. The roads are excellent, but the drivers are not.
  10. Nice Crosstrek! Is that the 2018 Premium?
  11. Hey, a fellow Subie fan! I drive a '11 WRX STI myself! Too bad Autoart hasn't released the rest of the Subaru WRX STI line. I'm still looking for a good scale model of the '11 series.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So the reaction missiles are bundled with the valk itself. No need to get the super packs unless you want the matching black and blue color scheme. Hayate's original super pack should suffice right?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Aw man, the "upgraded" VF-31J looks so tempting with the new color scheme and super packs with reaction missiles. I'm also interested to see whether NY will carry this and for how much. And yeah, it looks like the reaction missiles are held by a clip on a rotating hard point on the super pack's shield. Not very elegant, but would at least mean that it can clip on the regular super packs. Hopefully.
  14. And another package arrived today from NY! My VF-31C is here! Also got some White Base Hangar and Catapult Decks for my Robot Damashii's. And some figuarts ladies (Cammy is for my daughter who loves playing her in SF). Yuki of course, is mine.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Wow, now that's the money shot right there Saburo! That pic would get any Macross fan to throw money at Bandai. Hope Chuck's and Arad's will come out soon too!
  16. Well, I was only ever going to get one set of armor parts. Payload will have to be shared among my valks that have the hard points. The armor will go to Luca's RVF-171 because Bandai never released one for him. As for the wings, they'd make good letter openers and for spreading butter on toast. Too bad the cannon-fodder VF-171 does not have as many alternative uses apart from blowing up in your hands. As for Xigrid's DX Missiles, they look quite tempting, but apparently require additional work that I can't spare the time for. Great to have the option though.
  17. Hehe, of course I meant plural Noel! I've already commited to getting the whole Delta platoon. Anyway, I get what you mean. Its little confusing if I type "VF-31s" because it sounds like I'm referring to the variant. Maybe I should have typed "VF-31ses?" How DO you write the plural of VF-31?
  18. Well look what SAL dragged in the office today! Finally got my Lil Drakens! Also, I'm glad I snatched up a set of these Nightmare Plus Armor Parts. Now I have some payload to attach to my VF-31's. Woot!
  19. I just saw a few GFMMC Zeta-pluses in Jungle, mostly B quality though. I think I'll pass for now and save some money for more Macross love. :-)
  20. Thanks for the tip on Mandarake Noel! For some reason however, Mandarake is blocked here in KSA. I used to be able to order from them when I was back in Jakarta, but not here in Riyadh. :-( I don't think the upcoming RD release of the Zeta-Plus will be transformable. I do like the fact that the RD Sentinel FAZZ has removable armor; a gimmick not found on the regular RD FAZZ.
  21. Thanks for the link Sandman! Just gone through Veef's review of the GFFMC Zeta Plus. So the scale and the transformation is essentially the same as with the MG. Sort of regret not grabbing one when it was still available, though I agree with Graham that the grey Sentinel version would have been better. Are you into the Robot Damashii Ver. Ka. Sentinel releases Graham? I know that the grey Zeta-plus is lined up for release in that line. A little frustrated that I missed the pre-orders for the Sentinel FAZZ. :-(
  22. Premium version is still available in NY if you're interested: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/22049-1-3000-kanzen-henkei-sdf-1-macross-premium-finish-limited-edition.html
  23. I see, no worries!
  24. Ah, that's right! I forgot about the Zeta Plus in the FF Metal Composite line. I stand corrected! I don't have any of those however, so I don't know how much of a partsformer they are. I remember you got one Noel. Is the transformation to waverider mode similar to the MG Zeta's? Although the design of the Zeta isn't technically perfect transformation to begin with.
