I do find the fighter mode sculpt to be ever so slightly nicer than the Yamcadia 1/60s.. Thanks! Maybe I’ll get the other one or HMR can revive and improve them. Quote

Or was it only the other released one? If it wasn't in the series, it does't go in my collection (ie Messer Color Ver.). That's my Filipino standard. Edited February 25, 2020 by fifbeat Quote

If it wasn't in the series, it does't go in my collection (ie Messer Color Ver.). That's my Filipino standard. the VF-4 in FB2012 is an A, these, and the yammi and forthcoming arcadia release are VF-4G models. The proportions are different: This picture is from the VF-4 Masterfile, so grain of salt, but the canard vs. engine nacelle for the A outline feels more accurate to the FB2012 animation to me. so technically even the FB2012 HMR VF-4 didn't appear on-screen, but they got the paint scheme correct at least.

Yes a HMR VF-0S would look cool next to the rest of the Jolly Rogers. 2 hours ago, ScrambledValkyrie said: Nice.

Not yet but I do plan on taking a pic of them in flight on clear stands. Maybe this weekend. Quote

It was 6000Y plus shipping. I think I've seen it fluctuate a bit lower a while ago like you said, it went up too. I think 6000 is just a tad below MSRP and mine seems as good as new so I'm happy.

I've been debating on grabbing this or the the S variant just to have a type of VF-19 in my 1/100 collection. Quote

I've been debating on grabbing this or the the S variant just to have a type of VF-19 in my 1/100 collection. It's pretty good overall. Most importantly to me is it looks the part and it transforms. The only negative on mine is the wrists are very loose and floppy but that isn't a huge deal that can't be fixed easily. I would like to get the extra parts for it but those are more expensive so not sure it will be worth the price at this point. Quote

Haha, I can’t find the boosters for less than 8000 and it is against my programming to pay more for an accessory than the main toy. Plus, I’d need to get the special stand too. Quote

Lolicon Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Latest VF-4 release for 8.5k. Damn I should've just waited for Mandarake instead of ordering from NY (who still hasn't shipped mine out). https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1131259180&ref=list&keyword=マクロス Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 ^ Magnificent paint job on that Monster, wow! Quote
Podtastic Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Another month down and still no sign of the Regult Scout this year. How long did we wait for the missile pods after the first tease? Quote
Guyffon Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Well we are still waiting on that tomohawk that was tease many moons ago.... Quote
