In the Yamatos, Pilot figure, head arrow color (yellow vs black), hands, and shade of white.

Thanks kkx, I tried this on two valks, and combined with BlueMax's post below, I think it worked great I also first filed the knurled end, and then place the knurled end in the undamaged side when reassembling the shoulder hinge. I think it worked great, just continue to handle the joint gently, and always lift it from below rather than pull it from above to get it over the notch. Also, I ran a 1/16th drill bit through the holes twisting it by hand (ie not in a drill) to make sure the hole was clear for the pin.

If you want both, and are just looking for a display piece, my recommendation is to go ahead and get the Toynami or Aoshima, the Beta/Tread is a very impressive piece that's pretty well built. The Alpha/Legioss on the other hand is very delicate, and should be handled with kid gloves. I have the red Alpha/Beta, and have them connected with the Alpha in Battloid mode. It looks really good, although I have to pose it looking and firing down at a target ahead and below it because the arms wont stay up. Otherwise I'd wait for the Sentinel like the rest of us.

Very cool Eggy, I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find a thread on how to clear coat a Yamato 1/48 or 1/60, can anybody point me in the right direction? Rather how to decal or sticker and then clear coat. Is total disassembly recommended?

as a former Discover Card user, my favorite Futurama segment. Fry : Do you take Visa? Clerk : Visa hasn't existed for 500 years. Fry : American Express? Clerk : 600 years. Fry : Discover Card? Clerk : Sorry, we don't take Discover.

I was able to pick up a DX VF-1J at ¥23,328 before shipping on Jan 2nd, just after release. I expect there will be similar availability after the others release.

I agree with Jenius here, it would most likely be about the same price or a little more. It is much larger, but is far simpler mechanically.

https://okini.land/en/10989-dx-chogokin-vf-1s-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-use-bandai-spirits.html Just going to throw this here, ordered with paypal, so protected, will it show? hope so

Payment up front, no refunds.

Scarcity can only be solved by Bandai, expecting every individual or group to altruistically act for your benefit instead of their own, is not realistic. These Scalpers/resellers will only charge what people are willing to pay, if you pay them these outrageous markups, your only encouraging them to do the same in the future. Prices will come down, and you will be able to get what you want without the current massive markup. Just my five cents.

Freaking Visa Fraud protection! GAAAAAH! almost had one.

Oh I'm going for it, just playing devils advocate.
-
only disadvantage is you do rely on the yen dollar exchange rate prior to release.
