ChaoticYeti Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Order just came in from the vendor. Stands are back in stock. I checked over the laser etched Beta's, and a few of them do look like the laser etching has some faults. I will be contacting the vendor to see if they can be replaced.

derex3592 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I need to order at least one of the Macross Logo etched Beta's and try it out when you get them perfected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe1010 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Flat Rate has gone up. I have tried a few things lately, and can ship a few stands for $20-$30 internationally through first class. I will be adjusting the webstore this week. I have regularly shipped as requested by buyers and refunded partial shipping fees. Just let me know with a note when you order and I can compare the cost of flat rate vs first class. We Canadians are so gouged most the time that we are okay with cattle class + taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have 23 beta's left in stock, as well as a stack of alpha's. I will hopefully have the wall mounts available on the webstore this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well, lets give this a whirl. Free shipping on orders over $200. This includes international... This is just a test. I may remove it without warning, but I will honor orders made. Use this code at check out: YETIFREESHIPPING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonfasa Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wow, that is so awesome of you Yeti. I'm just sorry I still can't commit. And you'll probably pull it after a few international sales. I just don't see it viable to someone like me (as I've almost accepted outrageous shipping rates for everything), but thank you none the less. I already know what I want in my first purchase. 2x Yetistand alpha's 2x Yetistand elbow's 2x Yetistand dual arm's 2x Yetistand knuckle's 2x Starter kits (either or mixed, but if mixed also one standing DX and one banking YA adapter) and that was before this announcement. Maybe I can move a few things around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dero Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Nice. Always love seeing customers pics. Here's my pic! Stand arrived today. Colour and lighting is terrible - image comes straight off the camera.

ChaoticYeti Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Here is a over/under setup requested by someone on r/lego. This would work for Valks, too. Just add a dual arm to a Beta stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmal Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm fairly certain the HMRs are compatible with Tamashii Stages, which use the 3mm hole/peg standard for the arm pieces (not the base connector). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how long the peg should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmal Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) The pegs are 4.5mm tall. Personal opinion below: A Yeti is probably way overkill for HMRs unless you're talking about the bigger mechs like the Zentradis or Destroids or you're putting up a couple. HMRs are, what, 6 inches tall in Battroid and probably the same length in fighter? If I were to use a Yeti for HMR, I'd use a drilled base (5mm holes) with Tamashii Stage arms like how I've got my Hi-Nu's funnels set up, and/or drill holes in Yeti arms and mount Tamashii arms on those (can't be sure about how stable this would actually be without trying it though). You could probably get a pretty cool formation or dynamic dogfight scene on a single base that way. Edited June 6, 2016 by cmal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) the Destroids are gonna be smaller than the VF-1's (excluding the monster and what are you doing putting a monster in a flying pose anyways?) I'm gonna second the opinion that Yeti's are massive overkill for pretty much anything in the HMR line. even for formation display's you're better off just getting a tamashii trident base or chaining together regular stages and arms since the stage Act sets are all modular anyways. :edit: actually I take that back. I want a yeti adapter for the monster when it comes out so I can have it in a flying through space pose because that sounds dumb in a good way.

cmal Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Those joints the claws attach to have a 3mm peg and that's where people generally attach to when not using a claw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 I have more etched bases. There are 10 of each in stock. There is now a drop down on the YetiStand Beta product page to select different etchings. If these sell out, I will order more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 That was mickyg's request. Used for model kits. He has a handful of samples, but I am not sure if he has used them yet. Shoot him a pm for details on how they are used. If there is a certain size you want we can work something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I posted up a review here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43612#entry1266308 In short, there's nothing that would prevent me from recommending them for model use. They're way stronger than you would ever require for any model kit I can think of. Extremely easy to use. And just as versatile as anyone familiar with yeti products would expect. I'd hoped to use them on an actual model by now but life has been far more busy than I'd expected in the last 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
