ArchieNov Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Where do u live? I'm thinking about just ordering a dozen or more, then just post them to ppl who want them at a decent price - like less than $10AUD once I spread the cost of shipping and postage. Just gotta wait for the storm to blow over and shapeways to come back online. I'm just concerned at the fragility of these small pieces and what not. I live in the Philippines, located in South East Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them from an old sticker set of vf1 yamato 1/60 If they had made all the purple bits green, I would love this thing more than I already do. Totally agree with u but in a point of vue purple bits are fold crystal so color must match but for the canopy no reason .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegablue Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 How does the transformation compare to the VF-25 v2? Is it firmer, or does need alot of squeezing to transform it properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh...I suppose but those who know me know that I don't care about anime accuracy (especially when It's something dopey like "fold crystals ooooh"). I just like clear green lightup thingys, I guess. How does the transformation compare to the VF-25 v2? Is it firmer, or does need alot of squeezing to transform it properly? A little looser but about the same. Legs aren't as solid in fighter mode.

skullmilitia Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I just got mine today from NY, Box was flawless, Haven't transformed it yet, but the paint apps in Jet mode look perfect. Now to wait until after work for a proper swooshing! Seem's as sturdy as the VF-29 Alto, so here's hoping it's quality is on par at least.

skullmilitia Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I had one warped wing, and the front gear doors are looser then the VF-29 alto, other then that, it's a bitchin' color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You know, the colors on this anniversary edition's super parts seem like they would look better on Alto's YF-29 than the original ones. I didn't buy the original super parts at the time and now I sort of regret it, but the graphite color on these look much better than the blue on Alto's. I think all it would need is a repaint of the yellow sections to red and it would look great. The price is better than it was at the time Alto's was out too, due to currency exchange rates, I guess.

Kurisama Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hey guys - even tho I fixed my 29's head turrets, their soft plastic still bothers me, so I uploaded the turrets here; 1 pair; http://www.shapeways.com/model/780990/yf-29-head-turret-1-pair.html?li= 5 pairs; http://www.shapeways.com/model/757633/yf-29-head-turret-5-pairs.html?li= I have not tested or ordered these yet, so there may be a bounce back if ordered and they find it's too small to print.

Dobber Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well now I'm not sure if I got one. Usually you get a payment request pretty quickly and I haven't got one yet, got the confirmation though. The item is showing discontinued as well.
