beatsing Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 @sh9000 @sqidd nice displays of your fleets. My display case isn't big enough haha Quote
sh9000 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks @beatsing. I put the VF-2SS with SAP on a stand and adjusted the stand arm that comes with the missile effects set so that it could be positioned lower. Edited December 22, 2019 by sh9000 Quote

sh9000 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I added a custom VE-1 with Fast Packs and a VT-1. The last one in there will be a standard VE-1. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Finally snagged a Hikaru 1S Strike today! It's usually up there on the more expensive side (¥17,000-19,000) with Roy's Strike, but Jungle had one for ¥13,200 in B condition, so I pounced on it. I've had good luck with their B-level stuff, so I'm willing to take the chance. The last B item I ordered was the Missile Effect Set and the description said it had been opened and displayed. Opened, yes. Displayed? Not likely, unless it was in the tray with the cover on it. Pieces looked brand new and all of the plastic bits were still on the sprues. Quote
jenius Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I had a B level item from them come yellowed and panel lined so I'm a little weary of that grade now! I'm sure that was an exception though. Quote

sh9000 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I finished setting up the top shelf. I’ll work on the third shelf tomorrow. I’m going to put at least 5 more CF VF-1s in there. Quote

The last one is a little darker green than the first two and both the SP and WoG versions have "nose art" but they are different. All three regularly show up on Mandarake, if you're patient.

nightmareB4macross Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Squid, You will not be let down. The build quality of any of these three is amazing. The only down side is they are a bit puny when compared to the 1/100 Koenig by Yamato or the HMR. The difference is clear when directly compared. When you throw them all into a grouping their sizes seem to work pretty well in Battroid. My kiddo loves to play with these. Quote

sh9000 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 For the second shelf, all of the VF-1s now have the correct stand adapter. I also had room to place a naked VT-1. Third shelf progress. There’s a custom CF VF-1S and CF VF-1J at the top. Quote
onnasake Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Well, now that 2019 is just about in the history books, it's official: The Hi Metal R VF4 Lightning III is hands down my toy of the year.

I'm sure you all were dying to know what some stranger thought was the best toy of the year....but now you know. Merry Christmas! Quote

I added one more CF to go with the Konig in the third shelf and will take a pic later. I think that shelf is done for now until the VF-4G gets released. Luckily mine are coming from Amazon JP so they’ll be here shortly after the release date. The fourth shelf already has a VF-1J Armored Valkyrie, a custom CF VF-1A Armored Valkyrie, a custom VF-1J Max Armored Valkyrie, a Spartan, and a Defender. I just need to put in a HMR Monster.
