Uxi Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Oh yeah, did they fix the rear landing gear yet so that they lock or if you "taxi" backwards are they still going to fold up? Quote
bluemax151 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 My Millia shipped solo. Now when my Max ships I'll have gotten like 5 seperate parcels for the month of Dec. Although technically I probably won't receive Max until like January. Kind of annoying actually. Quote
shadow strikers Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Released! what are the blue clip looking things for? Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 what are the blue clip looking things for? The clips are for attaching the fold booster Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Oy... there goes another $400. But not now.. maybe late January, or February. Quote
bluemax151 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Got my Millia. Very happy with it for the most part. Just some small gripes about paint applications and the fact the front landing gear was stuck. Edited December 30, 2009 by bluemax151 Quote
Mog Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Left wingtip has started to get droopy on my Gamlin. :mad: Any fix for this? Def my favorite Valk and this is starting to bug. <3 fighter mode on the VF-22. Guess it'll go Battroid for awhile. If I remember correctly, there is a screw inside the landing gear area. Have you tried tightening that particular screw up? Quote
Phobos Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I'm not really feeling these pastel M+M. Pass. I'll stick with my YF-21 I'm sure i'm gonna regret this later though... Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 If I remember correctly, there is a screw inside the landing gear area. Have you tried tightening that particular screw up? Actually, I think the fix was to loosen the screw.. apparently tightening it pulls the hinge down somehow. Quote
Knightdramon Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I'm not really feeling these pastel M+M. Pass. I'll stick with my YF-21 Definitely agree, the colours on both VF-22S are very light, not enough saturation for my taste. Looks like my buyer's remorse for the YF-21 has completely faded away. Quote
Foblander Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I favor the YF-21 as well. The royal blue with yellow go so well together to give it a darker feel. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 I favor the YF-21 as well. The royal blue with yellow go so well together to give it a darker feel. 110% agree. The 1J M&M's look SO much better. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Hey, blame Kawamori or whoever for them being pastel. Yamato matched the colors perfectly to their canon/on-screen appearance. I don't think anyone who's seen M7 expected them to be any different. That's just how they are. Quote

hutch Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Just got the VF-22S Gamlin and it really has me inclined to get the Max and Millia now. Being used to only VF-1's and only having recently gotten the VF-11B, holy COW is this thing huge! Very posable too. Love all three modes. I'd heard about the complex transformation but it wasn't all that bad. Not as easy as the VF-1 or 11 but still fairly doable. All in all a great mold and perfectly suitable to milking. If they did a Skull Squad one, canon or not, I'd buy it in an instant. Quote
bluemax151 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 The Millia looks way better in person so I'm sure the Max will too once I get mine. Don't get me wrong the 21 is pretty nice with the dark blue and yellow stripes but the Millia is no slouch with the white on red. I kind of even like how the triangles near the intake were painted (more like panel lined I suppose) on the 22 as opposed to how they were handled on the 21. I wouldn't mind seeing a non canon 22 in red with black stripes. Like a Nissan 240SX for instance. Quote
Graham Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I love Max's VF-22S. It's one of my all time favorite schemes and one of the Valks I've most wanted as a toy, since first watching Macross 7, 14 years ago. Can't wait to get it and the VF-11C when it comes out. Graham Quote

Graham Has anyone found a way to mount the guns on the 22S in fighter mode? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 There is a problem mounting guns? I thought there was no difference on the yammie 22? hmm. I love the light blue actually..... Quote
bluemax151 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I seemed to have misplaced my "good" camera so the image quality is a bit questionable but here's a Millia 22 comparison shot. Zaku IIs are an EMSIA Char and MSIA 2.0 Johnny Ridden Hi-Mo. Colour really isn't pastel red IMO, pastel red is more pink/salmon. Definitely not resale red though. Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 It's not that there's a problem mounting the guns in fighter mode. It's that you can't at all since the gunpod covers can't be removed and even if you could, the gunpods themselves would be too big to fit the gunpod covers over. Some people have instead stuck them into the gaps underneath the wings where it folds down. Quote
khyron_99 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Are there any fastpacks included on them? Quote
ff95gj Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Are there any fastpacks included on them? Regrettably no... Quote
BlueMax Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The VF-22s are suppossed to have the FPs built into the airframe, thus no add-ons necessary. However, Macross Ultimate Frontier might have given people the wrong impression that they shuld have add-on FPs since in the game, you have the option to do so, ala the YF-21. Quote

It looks the same to me as a YF-21 though. Quote
Uxi Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I love the Gamlin scheme the best, but like Max's too. Never been real fond of Miria's red scheme valks for some reason, though always loved Max's blue. I will, however, LOOOOOOVE if they do an F-22 style metallic low-viz on an VF-22. Right now, I'm fighting to resist the Max, but won't be able to resist a good low-viz non-canon VF-22S. Quote
Uxi Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Has anyone found a way to mount the guns on the 22S in fighter mode? It was in the "surprise" thread where someone found out they fit in the gaps between the wing joints. EDIT: here it is: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=770373 Not canon, of course, but looks pretty good. Edited December 31, 2009 by Uxi Quote
Arthurius Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 ff95gj, can you pls take comparitive pix, in batroid mode only, with the air fins open, of the vf-22 max and the yf-21, in different poses??? Quote
