derex3592 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Finally!!! A perfect condition VT-1! And my first and probably only 171. Good day!
Toonz Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Yep it is, I have been using it since the VF-19Adv pics. very clean images. which camera model is this?
QEssential Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Nice haul today! Got another 17S with Super Parts, anyone interested in it? The Vf-1 fast pack was not bad for ¥9,250 from Jungle. Metal Build Freedom and Gold Frame What is Jungle?
gunbuster76 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 picked up the alto 171. and the gx-34r. not sure if i want to keep the gunbuster though. seeing as i have the original gx-34. i got toy collector problems. T_T
no3Ljm Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) What is Jungle? It's a online hobby store in Japan. Kinda like Mandarake where you can get used and new toys. By the way, great purchases everyone! Edited November 17, 2015 by no3ljm
Lolicon Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I never, ever thought I would buy one of these, but here we are. Think I'll detail it up but skip the weathering and instead give it a gloss finish. Really make it look like a show plane!

Lolicon Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 wow, where did you find this beauty? Rare find off Mandarake.

ArchieNov Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 My early Christmas gift to myself. Pardon the crappy pic and background. Added an AA battery for scale comparison.

Saburo Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 very clean images. which camera model is this? I am shooting with a Canon 5DS. Great pickup everyone!!
derex3592 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Holy crap! Who makes that Bumblebee? Edited November 18, 2015 by derex3592
Golden Arms Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Damn, Great purchases guys! Bumble bee looks bad ass! I really regret never picking up the 1/60 Angel birds. The colors really pop on that toy. So much better than the 1/48 version. Menasor looks sick! How much smaller is he compared to the Hasbro devastator?
ArchieNov Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Holy crap! Who makes that Bumblebee? It's from 3A (ThreeA). This is actually the first time I've tried purchasing one of their products. Quality isn't perfect, but it's still pretty good. And since most of their products have a lot of weathering detail, most of the issues are not noticeable. It's expensive, but well worth the money IMO. Review here: http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/10/10/3a-transformers-bumblebee-in-hand-review-gallery-303011
NightCastle Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) My early Christmas gift to myself. Pardon the crappy pic and background. Added an AA battery for scale comparison. Yeah, but I bet it does not have the magic ability to transform, like him in the movie, into a pristine Camaro. Otherwise, Awesome! Edited November 18, 2015 by NightCastle
ArchieNov Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Yeah, but I bet it does not have the magic ability to transform, like him in the movie, into a pristine Camaro. Otherwise, Awesome! Yup. Non-transformable. And I'm completely fine with that in exchange for over the top details, robot mode accuracy and articulation. The only way to make a 100% movie accurate Bayformer transform anyway is with nanomachine technology lol.

The only way to make a 100% movie accurate Bayformer transform anyway is with nanomachine technology lol. Great Bumbleebee figure, Archie. Love the details. Out of curiousity, would anyone willing to pay the same amount of this Bumbleebee to a VF-1 in Battroid mode, same size as the Bumblebee figure, being a non-transformable but have over-the-top details, accuracy and articulation? If so, would you prefer it in Battroid or Gerwalk mode? Edited November 18, 2015 by no3ljm
ArchieNov Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Great Bumbleebee figure, Archie. Love the details.

If so, would you prefer it in Battroid or Gerwalk mode? The thing I like about Bayformers is that they have TONS of mechanical detail on the outside. So having it at this size really helps flesh those out and make a nice display piece. A VF-1 doesn't really show that much mechanical detail because of its sleekness. For the VF-1, they'll need to spice things up a bit more to feel like it's worth the same price IMO. To make up for that, it should have some or all of the features below: Some removable panels with superb mechanical detailing underneath Light-up gimmicks Diecast inner frame All of the above (and more) are present on the DX SOC Mazingers, so it's entirely possible. Lastly, I would prefer it in Battroid. That should allow for a waist joint which is important for really dynamic posing.

Scyla Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The question is: can it stand on its own feet?
no3Ljm Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Great MB Strike Freedom figure, @EFSF. The question is: can it stand on its own feet? I believe of all Strike Freedom figure incarnations except for those chibi ones, the only one that can stand up on its own feet is the High Grade one.

I've got my RG Strike Freedom to stand up but with the wings folded up and the suit itself leaning forward.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Welcome to the VF-17 club!!! Be careful with the sharp edges when you transform it.
QEssential Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the VF-17 club!!! Be careful with the sharp edges when you transform it. Thanks! Actually not a fan on this series but couldn't resist the price on sale! BTW OT: Why are all my pics always rotated on a side???? Edited November 20, 2015 by QEssential
mickyg Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Seems to be an issue isolated to iPhone. Unless of course you're not uploading via iPhone, in which case, I'm stumped.

Scyla Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Ha I got the same brush with my last HLJ order. I tried in on some of my dusted mini-wargaming figures and it worked reasonably well on 10 year old encrusted dust.
Moosey Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) The picture was taken with an iPhone but I uploaded it from my computer.Has happened to me a couple of times. What I tend to do now is after I send it to the computer I open it, rotate it and re save it. Nice -17 BTW Edited November 22, 2015 by Moosey
