UN Spacy Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Love the Glaug...just reviewed it. https://youtu.be/jZvGD7FJYoQ Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I'm going to finally get to play with..errr..study my Glaug tonight. At first glance, some of the red plastic does look kinda cheap, perhaps a slightly darker red would have been a better choice. So the model guy in me is thinking "ohh man, I can't wait to panel line and weather this thing up so it looks awesome!", while the other part of me just wants to play with the darn thing and have fun...been waiting for this toy since 1985! No way to get more than one of these..display space has reached CRITICAL MASS at my place, so I guess I'm gonna have to make a choice... mine is still at hlj warehouse but i'm going to ship it soon. other than the red canopy, everything else looks amazing.

no3Ljm Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Love the Glaug...just reviewed it. https://youtu.be/jZvGD7FJYoQ Nice review. By the way, when you opened the cockpit hatch, from a glance on your video, it looks like there's some 'console panel' underneath it. Can you confirm on that? Thanks! Quote
jvmacross Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Took a while to finally make it happen, but it was worth the wait!.....thanks Bandai! Quote
This Confuses Gamlin Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 it looks like there's some 'console panel' underneath it. Can you confirm on that? Thanks! It is: Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 It is: *snip* Nice to see these added small details. Thank you sir! Quote
bbrain Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Someone needs to take a pic of Bandai's Glaug next to Matchbox's. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) LOL!! That pic wins MacrossWorld today. Fact. anybody having a bitch of a time getting the little red antenna to peg in??? I CAN'T get mine to go in!!! Edited June 3, 2016 by derex3592 Quote
This Confuses Gamlin Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) The peg-and-hole pair has a very slight D-shape to it, so it only fit in at its one very specific angle. I had trouble doing it until I lifted the canopy and braced it with the fingertips of one hand on the inside surface while pushing the antenna in with the other.

derex3592 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 ok.. I'll try that. In the meantime, some friends have joined the party!!! Curse you Bandai I want the VF-1J NOW! Quote
sh9000 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 LOL!! That pic wins MacrossWorld today. Fact. Maybe it will get posted on the MW facebook page. ok.. I'll try that. In the meantime, some friends have joined the party!!! Curse you Bandai I want the VF-1J NOW! Where is the Zentradi figure from? Quote
krazee_k Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 One thing I can say for sure is HMR looks good together and in numbers. As for the glaug, it's awesome. But.... After a quick check, light can't pass through eye sensor from the inside like the regults. Small bummer but just one Easter egg less. Hope u guys are enjoying yours too Quote
sh9000 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Yep HMR looks great together and in large numbers. Quote
bbrain Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 anybody having a bitch of a time getting the little red antenna to peg in??? I CAN'T get mine to go in!!! ^ yes The peg-and-post pair has a very slight D-shape to it, so it only fit in at its one very specific angle. I had trouble doing it until I lifted the canopy and braced it with the fingertips of one hand on the inside surface while pushing the antenna in with the other. that must be why it magically went in while i was playing around with it Quote
derex3592 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Maybe it will get posted on the MW facebook page. Where is the Zentradi figure from? It was a resin figure included with one of the small scale Zentradi Capital Ship models from back in the day. I think it came with Kamjin's ship. Quote
sh9000 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Very nice. That Miria is from these figures right? I need to dig mine out. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Very nice. That Miria is from these figures right? I need to dig mine out. yes Quote

sharky Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) damn that fake looking red window everything else is amazing. drool Why do you keep calling it a window? Looks fine and anime accurate to me. Could use a little panel lining I suppose. Edited June 3, 2016 by sharky Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Why do you keep calling it a window? Looks fine and anime accurate to me. Could use a little panel lining I suppose. bc it looks like a cheap window Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 It's more like a heat shield, I'm sure I've seen many scratches in many early color art illustration by Yoshiyuki Takani. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 It's more like a heat shield, I'm sure I've seen many scratches in many early color art illustration by Yoshiyuki Takani. yeah, i see the eye in front so definitely know it's like armor, it just looks out of place. maybe after someone panel lines it, it'll look decent.
