mk16 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 wow that is huge.. I guess there goes the room for your dining table. Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 25, 2004 Author Posted March 25, 2004 OMFlippinG!! that is going to be awesome. how'd you acquire that? and where? pray tell! I got it at e2046.com for a great price and 2 dollars shipping to boot. It looks like a got the last one for awhile though, I think they have to make more. Mine took awhile to get here because they had to make some parts that were missing. Quote
EXO Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Looks great grayson... but it's not 1/72 what are you doing with it? Gimme gimme! can you take pics of the rest of the kit? please? Quote

Mine took awhile to get here because they had to make some parts that were missing. I spotted many beauties on www.e2046.com site awhile. I didn't order cause i dunno i they were reliable. It is maybe time to update the topic http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=3286 Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 25, 2004 Author Posted March 25, 2004 Looks great grayson... but it's not 1/72 what are you doing with it? Gimme gimme! can you take pics of the rest of the kit? please? I decided my collection wasn't big enough and expanded it to include 1/48 scale. But I'm not gonna go any farther than that, never never never . I was gonna take more pics but my camera batteries died, if you want I'll take more when they recharge. I was gonna take a picture of it next to one of my built valks, that will be funny. The cast quality is ok, kinda rough, the surface of the plane doesn't have bubbles but it's pitted like the molds were old. But hey I'll take it, what do you expect for a 140 bucks. Quote
007-vf1 Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 I decided my collection wasn't big enough and expanded it to include 1/48 scale. "....But I'm not gonna go any farther than that, never never never ...." sure, keep on laughing and denying it.... now recast it dude...!!!! Quote
to177 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Hey Grayson, nice find! I only have one comment though...is it me or the nose on the 1/48 look shorter then the 1/72 scale? Anyways, just an observation from the pic you provided. I'm sure the kit itself is well porportion. Regardless, nice kit bro. to177 Quote
robokochan Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Wow! Excellent find! Just curious...for $2.00 shipping, how long did it take to get to you? I am seriously thinking about getting some stuff from there. Rob MN Quote
Ghadrack Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I too have wondered about this dealer, if they are reliable, and if the product is worth the price. Anyone else had any experience dealing with them? Quote
Vermillion One Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 I have ordered from e2046 a few times, I have never had any problems with them. Shipping took about a week or 10 days, so I would guess that it was air mail. All of my orders were smaller kits or accesories so shipping could vary dependant on box size. Congrats on the kit, I had debated picking one up, I guess I will have to wait now. Quote

I am seriously thinking about getting some stuff from there.Rob MN Yeah for $2 bucks it got here pretty darn quick when it finally shipped. Faster than HLJ for sure. It came in a tupperware bin for a protective box too. Quote
Mechwarrior Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Great deal on that baby! You gonna put it together and share with us? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Dang, it wouldn't be that much smaller than the 1/48 Blackbird I built, and bigger than any of the teen series. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 How bout a pic next to a Yammie 1/48 in fighter mode for comparison? Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 How bout a pic next to a Yammie 1/48 in fighter mode for comparison? I could do that except I don't have a Yammie 1/48, I'm not a Macross toy kinda guy. Quote
GobotFool Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 How bout a pic next to a Yammie 1/48 in fighter mode for comparison? I could do that except I don't have a Yammie 1/48, I'm not a Macross toy kinda guy. your seriously missing out. The 1/48 is less of a toy and more of a completed model anyway Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 Completed Model! where's the fun in that? Too many seamlines anyway Quote
GobotFool Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Completed Model! where's the fun in that? Too many seamlines anyway Well if your a modelist make a custom one where ya putty up all the seems. Toy or model its probably the best large scale rendition of the VF-1 that will ever hit the market. Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 Heh, you prolly haven't seen the 1/48 ultimate strike valkyrie then. I have that one too, it's amazing. Quote
GobotFool Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 (edited) Heh, you prolly haven't seen the 1/48 ultimate strike valkyrie then. I have that one too, it's amazing. Yes I have seen the 1/48th resin kit, but I can hardly call a valkyrie model that does not transform ultimate. What's the point of a valk that doesn't transform Edited March 28, 2004 by GobotFool Quote
g3173 Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) Can you guys post a link on where you got this kit. I'd like to try and pick 1 up too. I tried the web address you posted and it doesn't work. Thanks, Gene Edited March 28, 2004 by g3173 Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 28, 2004 Author Posted March 28, 2004 Their site was down for awhile, try it again. Quote
Gundamhead Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Geez. I thought Hasagawa's 19 was a huge Valkyrie... Cool. Quote
FlyingPika Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 yes comparison to 1/48 pic ples ^^ enjoy building it looks very badass ^^ Quote
