    Anyone happen to make a 3D Printed replacement part, or have a file i can print, of the Sentinel Legioss Crotch mounting peg cover?

    Well pinned and glued. Thanks for the QC Bandai ;)

    Just broke mine too. Putting it on it's stand in fighter mode. So much for protecting the toy by keeping it on the stand. So those who have fixed it. It is NOT supposed to move/swivel at all? I can drill and pin it with metal and ca glue, i Suppose. (Very unhappy about doing that to a $350 toy) really carefully since its unpainted and the CA has to be flawless. I haven't transformed it back into Battroid yet. Every place i look is one of those metal 'pins' instead of a screw so How far apart am i gonna have to take this whole toy to remove just the head I wonder. I buy these to AVOID using my model building skillset! Anyhow

    I 'missed out' on the 1/55 in , i believe 1985/86 at 'Fuji Oriental Market' in Palmdale California. I was 12/13 yrs old and my parents got me the Hikaru VF-1A and VF-1S from DYRL, the shop also had the Ostrich, but it was in a case and not for sale. Of course. I wanted it ever since but the price.. Needless to say I have ordered this one!

    Macross Books

    lavinrac replied to Penguin's topic in Collectors

    Anyone find this somewhere other than Amazon Japan? I seem to be unable to order due to being in the US. Checked HLJ and CD Japan and no luck yet. Amazon Japans region issues seem random almost, as they just shipped my Tenjin book today.

    Got one from AmiAmi. Never used 'EMS' Shipping before but it said 4-13 days so i figured it would be fine. Long as it isn't 4 months on a boat.

    So frustrated i missed this. I can't do the staying up all night thing anymore. I guess i will keep checking HLJ for the next couple months. they seem to have the macross ones pop back into stock occasionally.

    THANK YOU!!! I'll dig around there for similar too. I want the spiky shoulder bits as well. Mine are all yellowed and potentially brittle. Old toys. they don't make old toys like they used to make old toys (I'm looking at my 1/55 valkyries still working despite yellowing)

    Please don't bash me for not reading years of backlog. Does anyone have a link to where I can get some 3d printed replacements for Yamato Garland (1st oav version) brittle shoulders? Thanks!

    Thanks for the Eye Decal tips guys! I got some Frame Arms Girls Eyes. Couldn't really find any that matched the 80's style, but these are way better than the tiny painted on ones on Hoquet, to me. I dont even know what color her eyes are so i used blue but they could be green. I have green ones on the sheet if so. Not perfect but I think its an improvement.

    Hey so ANYWAY, any new mospeada toys coming? Pics?
  12. lavinrac
    Well I finally have this toy in hand. And I am happy. I mean I guess the pink thing I see it but it doesn’t bug me because I haven’t been able to get this figure in any other line any other scale ever. The fact that the front visor doesn’t stay in down position is more annoying than color. I think once I follow the decal route the route shown here I will be satisfied. I’ve been wanting a figure of her since the 80s when they had those cruddy little partsformers That’s still impressed my preadolescent self
  13. lavinrac
    Not bad! I’ve been scouring the eye decals, And have not found anywhere how do I put this… the top half of the eye is bigger than the bottom half and it’s not such a cat Eye look. You know the 80s kind of style. Anyway yours are a bit like the modern ones too but they look better than the otheroptions I saw. Do you happen to know what manufacturer and sheet number that is? Thanks!
  14. lavinrac
    When I get mine I’m going to take a picture of the face and then Photoshop it so that the eyes are moved down slightly. It’s possible that will make her look right. Right now she looks like an older woman like by 10 years. Also depending on the size of the eyes they may be able to be replaced by those decal eyes you can get. I wonder…
  15. lavinrac
    Same here!! Woohoo indeed. Just hit SHIP as this was the item i was waiting for. EXCITING
  16. lavinrac
    I’ve always wondered how, or if, he gets the paint to be sturdy enough to withstand transformation . Any ideas?

    Hi-Metal R

    lavinrac replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I have similar feelings. It had this vibe for me of a slow anime. Characters staring into the sky and whatnot. mysticism. I wish i could get into it, and frontier and delta. SDF is the only one that completely hit the spot story wise, and Macross Plus Because as you guys described where the action sequences were great but character story bored me. And I have to admit Macross seven because despite all of the goofiness it was still a fun ride. i will still buy a vf-0 though. Very nice design and not spindly and thin like newer valks

    Based on things I’ve received in the past three or four months from HLJ I’d guess around 40 to 45 bucks. For DHL or FedEx
  19. lavinrac
    Fuke riobot is live on HLJ Right now. Just preordered. Sleep can be uninterrupted!

    Update.. I dragged it out of storage.. The hands do all have an insert piece. but they are slightly different sizes. If you don't mind a little shimming with some plastic sheet styrene sheets, (pla plate for gundam'ers out there) and you dont mind using one of your other many valk hands as a donor... this might be the best way to get a truly 'sturdy' solution. see pic...

    I'm a little late to the game here.. but it looks like that fist has a removeable rectangular part with the connector on (now broken off) it. Do any of the fists you like less have the same part and you could carefully cut it out and swap in a non broken one? I'd answer myself but i don't have a set of non-tv sets handy they are all in the storage room in box
  22. lavinrac
    Well okay, now i'm gonna watch this.
  23. lavinrac
    Same.. i intended to be very selective. But max is arriving tomorrow which means I’ll have all but kakizaki dyrl it does help the wallet that the releases seem like 6 months apart
  24. lavinrac
    So random. but I just noticed a Zentraedi ship with Harlocks skull on it in Ep 27 Ai Wa Nagareru! Did anyone else see this? I don't know the exact time but its about 1 minute after Minmay starts singing, and a couple seconds after the Orguss Valkyrie shows up.
  25. lavinrac
    I'd like them to release the anime they are from... I've never seen any of these mysterious robots in my life before because they were clearly labeled 'Japan Only' in the past!
