you forgot the intake covers ACS. and how the heck do you keep the ghostbooster attached in battroid mode?with mine he just slid off the back.

And I also got today with a second MP-06 Skywarp, a Yamato 1/60th SV-51r Ivanov type.

This thing is massive and truely a work of art. That said mine is very loose. The right wing is pretty solid and can hold the missile and pod without wanting to fold in on itself, however the left wing is quite flimsy and can barely hold the 2, let alone the 3 or booster pod.

As with all first release Yamato Macross figures...they are filled with QC issues. Mine doesnt have any stress marks, and there is a fix circulating on the Macrossworld forum...I might give it a try.... Anyways when they do Nora's these issues should hopefully be fixed.

















Ahhh damn those pictures look pretty bad... I need to figure out my Fiancee's camera...right now it is permantly stuck on Macro and we can't figure how to get it off... Anyways this wasnt even a full gallery...it was a quasi teaser one. Let me toy more with her camera and get it off the macro mode.

I just got it into Gearwalk and it is pretty solid actually...stands on its own.

then I take it you haven`t seen Macross Zero eh Chuck? anyways, onto your YF-19...looks great but I take it the foldbooster can`t be mounted in battroid mode?

Yeah I've never seen Zero. I assume at some point that it will be released in the US so I'll see it then; nice to see how it all begins. The foldbooster cannot be mounted in Battroid. I guess that's due to it being a flight device.

aww phooie.anyways, I seriously doubt Macross Zero WILL be released in the US due to the fact Harmony Gold isn`t too fond of Macross related releases.plus, Zero`s a few years old now.if it were to get released, it`d have been done by now.but fret not, there are good quality fandubs available on the net easily.

ADV just released the entire original Macross series on DVD and I've heard plans of them doing Mosspedia and Southern Cross. A big rumor, let me say it again this is a RUMOR, is that ADV is thinking about doing a special Macross finale set that would include DYRL, Flashback 2025 or whatever it was called and Zero. Again just a rumor.

I've never liked the intake covers. And the Ghost should sit nicely against the Vertical Stabalizers. Mine doesnt want to fall of in any of the modes.

I also want to point out there are high res photo's of the 25th Anniversary VF-1S over at Macross World, click here. There are also high res photops of the 25th Anniversary YF-19, click here.

I just want to add that I am so glad I have these 2 on preorder...they just look so damn sexy in black.... And the colorless visor is a nice touch.

Also I got my SV-51r in all 3 modes and I have to say I am 50/50 with this figure. What they have done to make this thing possible is remarkable...but the thing is so damn loose... I either have hios shoulders wrong...but in Gerwalk and Battroid form he cant hold his weapon up. The wings are also very flimsy so I am going to be using some crazy glue to tighten them up (i have never done this sowish me luck). Like I said its a beatuiful figure...but come on Yamato...these are just dumb **** QC issues that need to be fixed BEFORE general release.

Well I might be able to tell you how mine is. I got my shipped notice from BBTS today and on it they had listed the SV-51 but I wasn't charged. If I get it yay, and I'll gladly pay them for it, if not I'll wait the year for the second run for a perfect toy.

Well Nora's SV-51 is due out suposedly by the eyars end, hoepfully they will have all QC issues fixed on hers...

[Tigertrack]

BBTS has their Revoltech VF-1J's in!

I had my pile sent, and he should arrive probably by Monday. That should be pretty sweet!

What color is Nora's? By the by, why haven't we heard anything more about the Shadow Chronicles toys?

If I had known that he would've been coming today I would've waited to ship my loot. They really need to put release dates on these.

[Black Arachnis]

Nora`s is fuchsia with yellow thunderbolts IIRC...anyways, my SV-51 should be in at my local source soon.

Ive always liked her paint scheme...well this one should be perfect and have all the fixes.

[Black Arachnis]

true...think they`ll do the CF type of the SV-51?

[chuckdawg1999]

Yeah I'm not buying a Fuscia toy. I'll wait for the V.2 of the SV-51

[Air Commander Starscream]

Well I completed most of the super glue fix last night. The SV-51 can now hold all of its extra arsenal and not have flimsy wings. I like the figure a lot better now that this was fixed, the only thing I can't fix yet is its flimsy shoulder. I will try and post a gallery of its jet mode with all of its bells and whistles tonight. The nuke missiles looks sweet!

[Black Arachnis]

please do ACS, I still have to wait two weeks before I can pick up mine. though in good news I`ll soon have a 1/60 VT-1 ostrich a friend of mine bid on for me at a great price.

[Gutter Bunny]

i'm going nuts over here waiting for my vf-1j max to come into bbts...it's the last piece i'm waiting on before shipping my pile of loot with my skywarp and mirage in it


just thought i'd throw that out there.

[Tigertrack]

Got my Revoltech Valk.

It's pretty cool, but seems tiny! Nice accessories, good poseability, joints are a little loose, the stand is cool, and it looks anime accurate. Overall I like him, even if he's nt as cool as a 1/48th Yamato.

I'm waiting for a few more things before I ship mine. Are the joints too loose to hold a pose or just right?

I find them a little loose. The gun arm especially has a hard time (on mine) holding the sucker up. Not loose, loose, just not tight either.

[Black Arachnis]

well, just picked up my own SV-51 and so far(knock on wood)I seem to have a tight one....will update when I get a chance to transform him.

edit: just put all the ordenance on the wings and NO sagging woohoo!

[Black Arachnis]

*BUMP* anyways... any news on valkyries?and ahh ACS?galleries dangit!
