spanner Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I would buy a Spartan in olive drab. I was never much of a fan of the Defender and Phalanx though. I would buy a Monster but at 1/60, it ain't gonna happen I would have to agree there! a Spartan in Olive drab would be very nice! Was never much a fan of the Defender but I didn't mind the Phalanx so much.. a Monster in 1/60 scale would be of truly epic proportions but yeah its pretty clear that we will never get this. let alone be able to afford it if they actually did build one!

caslon Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I need a 1/60 Spartan & Monster each but they could be very pricey as I presume... Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Funny thing is... I just had a conversation the other day about a Monster in 1/60th scale. Thing would be massive, only the price tag could dwarf its enormity... Quote
spanner Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I thought at one stage someone was going to release a 1/60 Monster? Or was that a different scale..? Quote
xrentonx Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) You're thinking of the soft vinyl (sofbi / sofubi) version, I believe. I think it was a different scale. Edited March 1, 2015 by xrentonx Quote
wmkjr Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I would love to see a 1/60 monster up close. Yamato had a prototype 1/60 on display though there's only that one picture that's been shown. There was a member here that started on a 1/60 and was almost finished but didn't post the finished pics just the WIP. Then there is the 1/72 resin kit from mike here and the 1/72ish scale soft vinyl mentioned above by x-plus in the works. Quote

I know a 1/72 scale version wouldn't be that much smaller but surely building a 1/60 would be reasonable to do!? there would be plenty of guys willing to spend the money on one! Quote
wmkjr Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I think whoever spent the cash on the 1/2000 sdf-1 would buy a 1/60 monster. Reposted pic for the peeps that didn't see it the last millionth time : Quote

Reposted pic for the peeps that didn't see it the last millionth time : monster.jpg there she is!! yep agreed! I would rather spend the money on this than a SDF-1.. not that I don't like the SDF-1, they are very nice, the 1/3000 especially but its just they are asking stupid for them.. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 How about this peeking pose Or this one, Isamu just took down thundercracker, and Alto is providing overwatch... Quote
spanner Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 How about this peeking pose Or this one, Isamu just took down thundercracker, and Alto is providing overwatch... hehe! cool! Transformers do make good target practice for Valkyrie's! let him shoot some more while he's at it! LOL! Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I gotta figure out how to unload my transformers, now that I have a metric ton of vakyries. I don't even really know how many transformers I have... Quote
spanner Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I gotta figure out how to unload my transformers, now that I have a metric ton of vakyries. I don't even really know how many transformers I have... there are plenty of TF fans on this forum, you could list some up and see how it goes!? Quote
Scream Man Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Glad u like the Tomahawk Spanner, but no loving pics of your new SV-51? Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Thing is, I don't know how many transformers fans are going to want these. They're all newer toys, movie era and animated. I mean the one's I'd want to be rid of. I want to keep my Bumblebee and Barricade, as well as the F35 (don't remember the name, wasn't in the movies actually). I'll dig them out and get some pictures up, or maybe I'll keep them for when I have kids... Quote
spanner Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Glad u like the Tomahawk Spanner, but no loving pics of your new SV-51? hehe! yeah its very cool! just cant fit it into my VF-1 display.. looks like a new cabinet will be on the horizon! I did post a pic of the SV-51 in one of the forum threads.. gee I cant even remember which one it was!? Thing is, I don't know how many transformers fans are going to want these. They're all newer toys, movie era and animated. I mean the one's I'd want to be rid of.

I'll dig them out and get some pictures up, or maybe I'll keep them for when I have kids... You never know.. someone might still want them. Should still be worth a try. Or yeah you could just keep for you future kids! Quote
spanner Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Glad u like the Tomahawk Spanner, but no loving pics of your new SV-51? pic is towards the end of page 86 of the "your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread" Quote
spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 can't say I ever thought much of the 171.. till this guy came along! Yeah! Looks totally bad ass! kinda regretting letting it go to my son now.. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Now that there are replacement Triangles available I might actually pickup a 171, I love the Fighter mode and the Battroid mode (courtesy of your pic here) tells me I should get one! Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 GAAHHHH! I want my 171 to arrive soo bad! It's killing me. Quote
spanner Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 GAAHHHH! I want my 171 to arrive soo bad! It's killing me. feel your pain bro.. feel your pain. The wait for my Zero's is literally tearing me apart! im getting all grumpy and moody.. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Didn't wanna flood the VF-0D thread so I thought this thread was more appropriate: Edited March 7, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
derex3592 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 That last creepy Battroid pic is off the chain. Quote
spanner Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 sweet poses wmkjr!! that Gerwalk shot it nuts! Quote
wmkjr Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks guys. Playing around with the 0D just gets me super excited for the 0A/S! Though I don't know about long term joint durability, as of right now I'm liking what I see! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I agree. Over the canopy gunpod is awesome. Quote
spanner Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) found some time to have a good mess about with the Zero's. gee they can be quite fiddly to pose and handle.. some of the joints are very stiff! The Zero I have in battroid has super tight upper leg (gerwalk) joints and its a good two hand effort to get em to budge! At times I thought I was starting to apply too much force! But they are an absolute gem once you start to get use to them! But I haven't been very adventurous with their poses so far and I think I'd rather find a few good positions to set them in and just leave them be in the cabinet. Gerwalk definitely is the gun mode for this bird! She has so much presence even just sitting there in a somewhat relaxed pose! still cant get over how big they are! even with my Cav in Supers looking all fluffed up, she still is no match to the sheer size of the Zero! In battroid and the Zero simply towers over old mate! hey brownie get a load of this things gun pod! hehe! not looking so sure as what to do with it! trying it on for size! looks more like a bazooka than a gun pod! and she has muscles too! makes easy work of a VF-1! poor brownie looking a little embarrassed by it all! seeing room is limited having all three Zero's on one shelf, I kept the battroid pose toned down.. I know I've posted a similar shot before but here they all are looking absolutely amazing together! Edited March 8, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Great pics! I see you pilfered your YF-19 for missiles as well. Quote
spanner Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 haha! yep! after seeing your shots I thought I'd do the same! I think they really suit the Zero as they are very similar to the missiles it comes with. They do fit ok but I had to slightly modify two of the as they were too loose and a slight bump they would fall out. But they sit in nice and secure now! Quote

The hard point attachments, or the missiles themselves? Mine fit fine on the wings, but the tabs connecting the actual missiles are loose. Quote

I just widened the very top of the round cap bit only slightly and it now sits flush. Quote
