Looks like HLJ added a time limit to their "unlimited" private warehouse. Guess my Fire Valkyrie and other stuff is going to sit there until the tariffs are rescinded or March 31, 2026, whichever comes first.

Excellent poses and pics!
-
Of course Kawamori is going to give his seal of approval to Bandai no matter what deficiencies the toy has...
-
It looks like more than 50% of this thing is just straight up recycled 171 parts. Which is nonsense as the 171 is to the 17 like the VF-19 is to the YF-19: same aircraft series, but should consist of 100% different parts.
-
38982 total from Amazon Japan with shipping and import charges. I'll just wait it out with HLJ and their unlimited PW. -
Completely forgot about this one. VF-17 still available on HLJ as of this writing. A PO that doesn't instantly sell out must keep the Bandai execs up at night.
-
Drunken pose is still a pose!
-
Yamato painted them the correct color. Bandai just trolling us now.
-
I'll forgive the janky VF-17 if Bandai gives us a red Miria version! (Staying in fighter mode, of course.)
-
I might get one, but it's staying permanently in fighter mode. That battroid is fugly. Just like with the upcoming VF-19, this ain't replacing my Yamatos.
-
So the thing about the VF-27 is that it never got a true renewal version like the 25 where it was redesigned from the ground up. The "renewal" 27 was just a slightly tweaked V1 DX from the original terrible Frontier toys, and the revival is just a slightly tweaked version of that. Which means the revival is essentially a 15 year old toy design, older than the 25 renewals. And the stripes on the hip plates are still wrong.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Get that bad boy set up! I didn't have to fix the joints on the revival armored 25. So much nicer without the glossy finish too.

Stock stands are always mediocre at best. Thank goodness for people like @BroTaku79

The revivals improved the joints over the previous version. Setting up the armored 25F was a gigantic hassle as it was floppy mess right out of the box. Needed to strengthen the hips, shoulders, ankles, and wings before putting it all together.

Been years since I had all Super Messiahs out on display.

Yes, it's clear in the original Japanese text that he is talking about the old version being left in battroid pose the entire time and that's probably why the joints have weakened.
-
Yep still have a lot more to do and many more shelves to fill. Looking forward to breaking out the Basara and Mylene figures I bought way back when. Might even slap together the old 1/144 11MAXL kit. Delta is the best Macross series ever... if you've never seen a Macross series before.

Yup! You win the grand prize which is... absolutely nothing but a pat on the back. Yeah, but that one was on purpose because Bandai couldn't bother giving us two sitting figures for the 1D.

Whoops! I left something on the SDFM shelf that belongs on the DYRL shelf. Can anyone spot it?

Thanks Shawn! Though that might be a bit too ambitious for me. Maybe one of these days I'll get a good quality printout of a starfield or DYRL battle screenshot and put it across the background... Thanks! I wish I had more time these days to fix more up. I don't think I've finished a single valk since the VF-171 over a year ago. SDFM shelf mostly done now. Might have to get some risers for the flight stands to raise the fighters up because them 1/48 battroids are so huge. Frontier shelf gonna take awhile... so many valks and character figures were released for that series, as I've discovered while taking out the many Sheryl & Ranka figures from storage. A testament to its popularity I suppose. I feel like some lemon cake for some reason...

DYRL shelf is pretty much done. Might throw a few HMRs and character figures in where there's space, but my focus is on the larger scale stuff. Now to finish the SDFM and Frontier shelves...

It was pretty expensive given the exchange rate at the time. Cruiser mode pic taken in low light.
-
Still working on my displays when I turned off the cabinet lights and saw the SDF-1's paint was glowing, so I snapped a quick pic.
-
Uh, let's just say I am too scared to open it now, or ever. PF 19 is up there as one of the best valkyrie toys ever IMO. I've only seen it pop up on Mandarake a couple of times. It was 50k iirc but with the current exchange rate it's cheaper than when I got mine.
