QUOTE(ajis @ Mar 16 2009, 06:26 PM) cool thanks!  but the Armour kinda tempting, maybe I just sell my Ozma then buy this full package
Added on March 16, 2009, 6:28 pmyes I got Ozma DX along Alto  XL-shop stuff is pricey, but I'm not sure where to buy this except this shop I suggest if you want to get Ozma DX, to wait for the Armored version coming out around June. They plan to fix the "short neck" problem along with the bendy head lasers. QUOTE(Kamarul_Legal @ Mar 16 2009, 10:17 PM) Well, I would say, it depends, like myself, 80% of my collection was bought from Time Machine, some are cheap and some are exorbitantly high, I'm certain Derrick and Cindy of time machine, on seeing my desire to get my hands on all Yamato stuff have at times resulted in them quoting quite a high price for me, although i do resent this BUT I and I think most of us have to agree as what that have been mentioned by Ajis that they have the items we want in ready stock, Im certain that there are certain quarters of us who could pace themselves and wait for a good deal to come by but for another quarter like me for example, who just cant wait another minute to carry the item that we want home, its not that money is not an issue but it is truly satisfying knowing that there is a place u can go where u stand a very good chance of being able to find what u want there, pay the money and carry it home the very same day. Well, that was a long sentence and Yup! Just my 2 cents.  Time Machine marks up the prices of "HOT" items when there's 1-2 left.....as you mgiht be aware from looking at their display case. I think some of them might not be theirs but some "members" who want to sell the item for a high price. In any case you are consumer. Don't let them take advantage of you....and you have the final say if you agree to their pricing or not. Just be a smart consumer.  |

I opened my Stick Bernard yesterday....the helmet head joint is damn 9 loose....like broken neck. Found out online this is common problem, so i fixed it with clear nail polish. Now it fits in tightly. Haven't transform the mospeada yet. I'm abit angry that i paid a RM1k toy and get this kind of quality.

QUOTE(LagunaLoire @ Mar 18 2009, 02:28 PM) anyone here in malaysia manage to get their hands on the 1/72 Macross VF-25 with the promotional extra sheryl or ranka lee decal? my friend just bought one online and it didn't come with the promised decal and man..he's pissed. or maybe he bought the wrong version? He must buy from the shop that offer the sticker. There's no special kit that comes with it. The sticker is given to vendors to be given to customers who buy macross related merchandise. HLJ offered the stickers last few weeks ago. Now no more liow. |

QUOTE(Lurker @ Mar 19 2009, 09:05 AM) i a bit blur here, these macross kits are self assemble ala gunpla or pre-assembled? All macross kits need to be assembled, even the old ones. Toys don't need assembly. |

Bought it for RM255 at Time Machine Is it cheap ?? Should have bought DX version instead and save all the trouble You can try emailing HLJ for the specific parts. They have a parts ordering service.

The image is showing the 1/72 model kit's Armored Ozma but it also says "DX" on the image. At 1s i saw "eh why so nice one the DX" then i can recognise the VF-25 is actually the model kit. |

Yes. The decals on the 1/72's are especially fragile even after clear coat. I destroyed alot of my decals while transforming. I recommend u use the stickers instead if u wanna transform often.

QUOTE(akachester @ Apr 13 2009, 01:37 PM) Stickers? Where could i find them? So, in the end, i just need to find a fix post and do not transform it anymore? The VF-25 1/72 kits come with both waterslide decals and stickers. As for transform or not, i leave it to your own risk. Maybe need to wear cotton gloves while handling it. Mine, quite often the decals stick to my fingers while transformation and tear even after clear coat. =.=;; QUOTE(dishwasher @ Apr 13 2009, 01:41 PM) The kit comes with both water slide decals and stickers. Wolfx, question for you: did you use decal solution when you used the water slide decals, or just water? I'm curious if decal solution will help with preserving the decals during transformation. Still, when I finally get down to painting and decaling mine I'm not planning to transform them after that. Used water. I doubt decal solution helps in making it stronger. Decal solution just makes it easier to conform to the model's surface. I did use Mr Mark Softener though, so that might've caused the decals to be weaker than they should be. |

QUOTE(richard0304 @ Apr 14 2009, 02:59 PM) we're talking about bandai here. It's somewhat impossible to get so many Bandai products with defects right? Also, I would like to see myself 1 chogokin rvf-25 without 2 different tones of greens as I personally have yet to see 1 before. Now I'm waiting for mine to arrive so that I can verify it myself..
Added on April 14, 2009, 3:02 pmthanks for the pic dishwasher.. Why impossible? If the batch is flawed, then the whole batch will be defective. Dishwater is right. This is a reported defect. Some ppl on macrossworld also did comparisons and seems its a batch problem. Some batches of the rvf-25 are ok but some have the two different colour tones. You can attempt to get a replacement from the shop you buy from if you are not happy with the colour tones. And speaking of Bandai defects, Bandai last week reported about the miscoloured intakes on the super packs for their Ozma set (Japan webstore exclusive) and have offered for 1 to 1 exchange with Japan buyers.
Added on April 14, 2009, 5:36 pmQUOTE(ajis @ Apr 14 2009, 03:30 PM) where can I find armour pack for DX Alto?  Do you mean Armour or super pack? I not sure about armour pack cuz no news yet, but if super pack, its a webstore exclusive just like for Ozma's super pack. Where to find, best bet is ebay or yahoo japan unless you have contact in Japan to help order for you. This post has been edited by wolfx: Apr 14 2009, 05:36 PM |
