If you get one could you post where you got it? Or any other Macross stuff you might come across. I'll be in Tokyo next month too would appreciate tips on the availability of Macross merchandise.

pengbuzz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Going to pass on this one: wayyyy out of my price range, and I'm not going to pay extra for what should by now be standard. "Premium finish" should mean light weathering, better detailing and extras, NOT painting on what should be there to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Not sure where else to post this question. Has anyone else had some weird warping of the gun pod grip when left in the gun-grip hand for extended periods of time? I've had the gun held in-hand in battroid and gerwalk for several weeks. When I went to put it in fighter mode, I keep having a crooked gunpod mounted below the arms. At first I thought it was the arms not lining up, but after several attempts, I realized it was the handle causing it to be crooked. I'm at work so I don't have a picture (could post one later, if necessary), but I don't know how much that would help (it is very hard to see). The grip is just slightly warped/crooked; it still fits in the arms in fighter mode and in the hands, but it just has a slight bend towards the middle of the grip. Is this a common thing? Is there any real way to prevent this when leaving the gunpod in hand for extended periods of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Questions or General Questions regarding toy is directed there. Anyways, I never had problems with my Gunpod that was left for months in Battroid mode for it to get warped or crooked when it installed back under the arms in Fighter mode. It's very hard to imagine or to visualize what you're saying without a photo. The Gunpod plastic is so sturdy and thick for it to get warped or crooked just by holding it in Battroid mode. I'm assuming you retracted the grip before you mounted it in Fighter mode, correct? Will just wait for a photo so we can understand how it got warped or crooked. Thanks!

Here is his response below. The trick now is how to find them as I found some of the threads but not others. We cleaned up some posts that were pinned for years...just stale. If they prove useful, please send me the direct link and I can re-pin Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I looked for the noob/FAQ thread, but it seems to have disappeared. I fiddled with the gunpod in fighter mode some more and it is 95% straight now. I'm not sure how much the handle is really warped, might have just been lighting/frustration when I was trying to get it straight. I probably won't bother transforming it again until this weekend, so I won't have a pic until then. Even then, it would be really hard to see what I was talking about in a pic, as the bend seems very minor. I couldn't say with 100% certainty it wasn't like that when I got it, as I really haven't had it in fighter mode much. Either way thanks for the reply. I might update with a pic this weekend.

treatment Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Guess some fan in japan wants the upcoming Strike Roy Premium and just sold his regular copy recently, as ami's now listing an A/B condition regular Strike Roy: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-018953-R006 Still priced high at almost 20k-yen, tho. An available new-condition is only at 21k-yen... Edited April 12, 2017 by treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hachi Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The premium version's price is just too much. Hopefully if I see some money lying around I can get the 2nd hand not-premium versions for less than 20k yen (yes I want to dream...)
