mcfly50 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Will come but later they said. No extra cost to me. Quote
carlodibi Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Just got my roy focker cockpit as well. This diorama is gorgeous!! However after owning all 3 cockpits the roy focker is my least favorite. The paint and quality control is probably the worst of the 3. And roy looks really funny cuz his body is so small. Also i dont know if it is the screen itself or the video file that was chose for roy but it looks to be a lower resolution or quality to it Surprisingly the max cockpit has the best quality control. Its flawless. Maybe because it was so limited they had more time to build it? Surprisingly the shade of blue is not as bright as in the proto pics. A darker shade with the mass release. Even the shade of paint and even some of the color of the lights varied from all 3 releases. Especially rick hunter being the most different from the max and roy cockpit. I could see the rick hunter being more sought after later on cuz he was the initial release with its own unique perks.... Quote
JetJockey Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 That's dedication to get all three of them. What are the issues with Roy's version? Quote
derex3592 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Damn, never even knew they did a Max version. That's the $$$ shot right threre! Nice collection! Quote

Unless you’re asking a specific one, I believe @carlodibi already mentioned the issues on his Roy’s copy. 14 hours ago, carlodibi said: Just got my roy focker cockpit as well.

Yeah I was looking for more specifics on the paint and quality control. If the paint is sloppy or something. Quote
carlodibi Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 The roy focker is obviously revised since the rick version. Some of the paints used inside the cockpit is not as nice. Rick edition has more of a gunmetal look than just flat black paint. And the weathering is nicer on the rick edition. Different shade of paint on the rick console as well. The cockpit hinge for roy has been remolded to be a little thicker in some areas. Very few lights differ in color as well. Quote

I wonder if this will be it now for the lineup? Quote
carlodibi Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I would get a brownie if they made it. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Curios to know who will be sitting in the cockpit. Quote

Would be nice if they had shown some pilot that wears a green/teal striped helmet and green/blue/teal striped uniform like a regular CF pilot in the series. Edited June 20, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote
Darth Mingus Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 At that size and price point, they should just allow you to 3D scan your own face onto the pilot. Unfortunately, if they also did my body proportions, I would not fit in the cockpit. Quote

Mecachrome Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Sideshow has the VF-1J Rick cockpit up for pre-order. Interesting since I thought they were all sold out..... Doesn't come with the 1/6 Rick action figure but with the skull canopy headshield. This better not be a new run, otherwise I'll be pissed! Quote
jenius Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Question for anyone with the Hikaru 1/6 figure, are the feet installed properly? There's one for sale here with the feet installed backward and I'm just wondering if that's a prevalent issue. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Mine are just fine. do you mean backward or switched? if the toes point backwards then pivot the foot towards the front. sorry couldn’t resist. i’m such a heel. Quote
jenius Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Ha yeah, up a little late when I wrote that. The left foot is on the right leg and vice-versa. Quote
MARLON1211 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Hi, I'm looking to buy one of these. (Macross 1/6 cockpit). Is there anyone selling theirs here in the US? Pm or email me: findmarlon@yahoo.com Quote
jenius Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) There was a guy selling his, I think in the L.A. region, hunt through the FS threads, it's been a few months at least. Edited September 6, 2019 by jenius Quote

MARLON1211 Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting this cool cockpit but don't want to spend too much for it. My question is Is the Speaker/bluetooth version really worth that much? Or more of a gimmic? Is the reissue the same exact as the original release? Whats your thoughts and opinion about the two version? Also whats a good cockpit to collect VF1J Or VF1S? Also I like the fact it came with an extra Skull Canopy with the reissues. Any thoughts Thanks Quote
Knight26 Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Six Grand? Seriously? I could buy a nice used car for that. Quote

I don't think that the asking price is actually 6 grand, it's more close to 5 grand based on XE exchange rates. 1 hour ago, Knight26 said: Six Grand? Seriously? I could buy a nice used car for that. Or a chunk of a tuition on a secondary degree/down payment on a condo right there as well. Quote
