    Here's a vid of the Kids Logic Macross Headscupts.



    $230 USD for your choice of the following VF-1s, VF-1j, VF-1a or VF-1d.

    *If HG wasn't involved in this mess, then I might consider VF-1s (As for now money saved for the next DX or Arcadia valk).

    YESSSSSSSSS I need that rail gun in my life! Hope it can store in the leg armor like in the anime. I see it on the rightside leg armor but I'm hoping that's the actual gun and not a faux-stored gunpod piece

    i got 2 yamato vf-1S left that are exactly what you’re looking for. This is is perfect transformation, only parts forming is optional hands.

    One is a Roy Fokker type (black/yellow trim) TV version (brighter white to resemble how it looked in the tv series that was later turned into Robotech)

    Other is Hikaru type (black/red trim) thst never appeared on tv, used in the DYRL movie

    Oh and i also dug up three sets of super/strike parts

    PM if interested

    Oh yeah, the Fairy Squad VF-2SS is probably next! I can't wait. I can throw away the shitty EVO Toys ones I got left.

    Oh yea, I want one cannon fodder sans armor(not saying Fairy Squadron, could be one with green trim), I like the armor but this is a damn fine design even on its own without it. I even like the fighter mode despite looking like it came out of a SHUMP instead of being realistic.

    I'm all in for that too! I loved the VF-2 fighter mode alone. The armor is just a plus, but I've always loved the fighter mode design. Now if they'd just hurry the hell on up and make a Metal Siren! And the VF-2J

    Another month passes, and there's still no sign of the VF-1J that bandai unveiled last year. Hopefully, it doesn't end up as mere concept fodder. Speaking of which, many of the projects that Bandai revealed at Tamashii Nation 2017 event did not come to fruition (yet); none of the 1/6 action figures have a release date, no Getter Emperor, no Metal Structure Nu, no VF-1J, these riskier projects are sidelined...

    It's even more fun putting the runner parts on :lol  I had to put a really small dab of super glue on a few because they wouldn't exactly stay on.

    Think of it as a very very slow transformation while assembling a model kit. Kinda. Once you break out the instructions, you'll see what I mean :D

    Yeah, but you'll see when you break out the instructions. They have the guide in it for the runner parts.
