Uh oh! Guess I didn't do enough digging around. Are they that bad? Was suggested by a fellow board member who really liked them.
-shield attaches poorly in both modes (peg too low on the shield in B-mode, those silly extending clips in F-mode are almost useless -shoulder armor pops off with every transformation from F to G/B or vice versa. -soft plastic on the head lasers -paint still comes off easily -shoulder joints already loose as a goose, I don't know if that can be remedied with nail polish
Ironically, I've not had any of those problems thus far, the shoulder armors did pop off in the beginning but I've mastered the way to do it where that won't happen, although the VF-25 V2's shoulder transformation is no joke, smooth like butter. You don't do cheap, how else do you support your Oakley addiction?
You gotta help me sell mine, I haven't had any luck with it Can you check my link at Flickr out? perhaps I'm pricing them wrong?
For one, you're selling nothing that I want. For the more common stuff, you pretty much have to take a loss on them. I sure did. But at least I got something out of it rather than keep it and have it take up space.
I'd give bad pricing advice. I price my stuff to move like its ass is on fire. And yet for some they STILL lowball me.
Part of me thinks Bandai hasn't made another production run of the YF-29 because the VF-30 will play a more pivotal role in whatever media tie in is made for Macross 30th, and is a much more bad ass design than the YF-29. Heh to come full circle it would be interesting to see Hikaru fly it. Maybe Alto folded to where the Megaroad01 ended up, NUNS and SMS find them and whatever technology was developed on Megaroad01 while lost in space is analyzed by LAI and results in the VF-30. Then Shin and Sara Nome are found, and Hikaru leads an all new generational Skull squadron with Max, Shin, Milia, Ozma, Luca, Isamu, Gamlin, Michel and Alto. Then Minmay, Fire Bomber, Sheryl, Sara and Ranka have some huge ass concert. I think next year will be a bigger year for Macross toys...but way more expensive.
This is my first time over in toyark so I hope it is OK to put this here. My first Macross figure. I would love to collect these but it is too expensive to maintain TF and Chogokins. Perhaps if a 4th crapfest makes it to the big screen I can switch over permanently. I have the armour pack ordered at BBTS, what is the best place to buy these?
