spanner Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Did a trade deal with MWF member Scream Man for some older Valkyrie toys in exchange for helping him secure a VF-31C & the VF-31F VF-31J super parts set. In the deal I got from him 6x Yamato VF-0's (only 5 are complete and the 6th was used for parts), 2x ghost boosters, 3x Yamato 1:48 VF-1 with 1x GBP armor set and 3x Yamato YF-19's. Two of the VF-0A had a broken arm each so I took parts from the worse of the two in order to get the other one fixed. Worked a treat! On the camo VF-1A had a missing head laser so I cut off the laser from the broken VF-0A and glued it to the VF-1A head. I will paint the laser the light brown / tan color down the track but for the moment it looks good enough.. It also has missing wing flaps as one was missing so I robbed the other to put on the grey VF-1 and will paint it blue to match. Having it dressed up in GBP parts works perfectly to hide the missing flaps! Of the three YF-19, the 25th anniversary variant is the neatest of which he painted over the 25th anniversary and the wrongly spelled Excalibur lettering with black paint and it looks much better! The custom camo paint YF-19 is a little rough but still looks cool! hehe! Here's a photo of all the stuff! Edited April 14, 2017 by spanner Quote

So I wanted to post while it's still complete, although I will rebuild it in due time.

Are those even open for preorder? Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 @ChristopherB - Great collections you got there, kababayan! @spanner - Great deal as always. @Slave IV - VF-31F's Super Parts is not on PO yet. Probably he meant VF-31J's. Quote

wmkjr Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 He probably means he'll get the parts for him when they do go on PO. Quote

If that ever was the VF-31F Super Parts, by now, all of us here esp members who are super active posting everyday would know that it was already available for preorder. And online store links should have been posted in the DX VF-31 thread. And I already preordered one too. Just saying. Edited April 14, 2017 by no3Ljm Quote

Seems like a score on spanners part. Quote
spanner Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 I'll probably help him out with the VF-31F parts when they come up for pre order too anyways LOL! Quote
spanner Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Gave them a quick clean as they were a little dusty (probably could've done a better job of it) and put em on display! No space available inside the display cabinets without doing some major re-shuffling so the bottom shelf will have to do for now.. still they all look great on display!

HardlyNever Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Went home for the holiday and was digging through my old toys. I thought I got rid of this guy ages ago in a garage sale or something. His visor and thumbs are long gone, but I was super excited to see one of my very first Macross toys again (he even sort of fits in with the HMRs)! Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 That's a mighty fine 1/48 & Yamato Zero collection there spanner!! Love those customs!! Quote

ZorClone Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 I think I was feeling the same tug as Spanner for the larger valks and with all the noise about 1/60 M&M coming back I felt inspired to get my 1:48s out of their boxes and appreciate them a lil bit I need some of those little ladders, lol. Where do they come from? Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Sweet, I love the 1/48's. I need some of them ladders too! Quote
