Yamato & Bandai Macross Toys

I am a bit gobsmack by how the yf-29 Alto super pack can reach such ridiculous prices. I mean, its no where near the same amount of contents that the full armour yf-25 has.

I also had my shipping notice, it actually looks a bit like my yf-27 by a glance.

Yeha the yf29 Alto super parts prices are crazy....that why I got the 30th anni one and repainted it , for my alto I also like the dark brown instead of the blue colour anyways , as the blue look to cartoonish

Did you ems or sal? I choose sal to keep my cost down, as it goes into my parcel locker safely. touch wood, I have no issues from any of these Japanese online stores so far, and some were from your recommendation and they all arrive within the 1 month time frame.

Showed my wife the Isamu (pics) and she said it looked better than any of the Macross toys in my cabinet. I think is the nice colour scheme they choose over all the dark dull types.

I ems the yf29 .... I hate waiting !!

Woohhhooo my Yf-29 came today
it an excellent figure , all the joint very tight ... even the wing engine rotation is nice and tight clicking into place .... my figure came out of the box with a miss align shield at the back because the arm wasn't lock in properly , in which I had to transform the figure to fix it , but everything fits in perfectly .
The only other thing was that my cockpit doesn't close properly until I used a lot of force /twist to do it , don't think Im going to open the cockpit anymore as it is closed now. My paint job all good but I don't like the heart shape on the back shield as it just look out of place ... it a beautiful figure in all three modes ...totally recommend him . On with the pics .... enjoy

Does anyone here have the 30th anniversary YF-29? Just wondering if the reviews of the black paint chipping easily is true/ prevalent?

yeah I got it ...if you actually scratch at it... it'll come off...but that like with all of them not just the yf29 30th ... you just have to be carefully when tucking the nose under the chest not letting the two pieces scratch each other ....
