    You're welcome. The pack slides over the backpack nacelles and tabs and relies on that tab to be aligned and the outer "shell" of then SAP to stay attached. It would've been better if it actually clipped/clicked into place to secure the SAP to the backpack.

    Since a HMR VE-1 fitted with the Strike Cannon and fast pack tips as been done before and posted on MW, I thought has it been done with the PE VE-1?

    Well... Here it is in 1/60 mode.

    PE VE-1 with regular Strike cannon and Fast pack tips with the corresponding boosters, one arm sensor, and gunpod sans randome. :p

    here's Harmony Gold Toynami's SDCC exclusive......package has the macross branding it;s the 1/100 turd with turd armor for 89.99$
    if it's the same polycap cheap plastic offering as years gone by then 19.99 with armor is still to much let alone 90$. I still might be a bit sore over the craptastic one I bought a few years back.o_O

    The box is worth more than the toy inside!:p 
    I suppose one could buy it and put the HMR inside.

    That HG and Toynami branding should go if one decides to bash it for the HMR. :D

    The prices they are charging for the Toynami valks are ridiculous. I have one here, an old one I found when I was cleaning things out, and it had held together fairly well. As a $20 toy it's pretty great! But it's cheap feeling plastic, there was already one broken tab on it, it is held together almost entirely by friction in battroid and gerwalk modes... fun desk hand candy, but to be charging HMR prices for one of these is just messed up. Even the $35 they're asking for the newer armorless ones seems like a stretch.

    Close, but you'd be better off using a 1:60 VF to scale with that DeLorean. :cool:

    Tasuke's post leads to an intriguing premise...

    If Hikaru had access to a time machine, where would he go?

    Would he choose to go forward in time, and meet the Frontier cast?

    Or go back in time, and fly a Mitsubishi AM6 Zero?

    Hikaru's Zero.jpg

    The possibilities are endless! :D

    Not sure which of these pics I like best, but Hikaru in a Zero is... pretty awesome.

    Has anyone done up a Zero in UN Spacy livery? I suddenly want to see WWII fighter planes done up in various SDF Macross colors.

    Chuck's 31e (most likely a pre-mass wide release sample). Actually found via Twitter from member spacemanoeuvers.
