ron5864 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Oh man.....Too bad I blew my Christmas $$ on a new mountain bike and had no spare reserve left for the new VF-25S. Well least the bike has the same SMS Skull Leader color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well least the bike has the same SMS Skull Leader color scheme. That is a beautiful GT mountain bike. I also paid big bucks for my Ellsworth Moment five years ago.Still, you should get the new VF-25. It is worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahouth Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) the paint is spot on ? I would like to see honestly can't you see the gaps in fighter mode (I did not mention the reason of my intial complain) they should have painted the sides too, this would have been nicer in addition you can note that the engraved limits are not respected (bad masking tape position) here is a photo of mine... I will post pics when corrected Is it me, or the bases of the antenae are a bit yellow?I've already seen this in my v1.0 alto custom, specifically the legs below the knee, the shield and the arms, turning yellow after spending a few months inside the box. Man, I'd really hate to see this happening again in this version too. Why is it so hard to use the same material anyway? Is the cost so high?

Ghostkiller Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) the antennas are made of different kind of plastic , that is why it is different it is a kind of flexible plastic gum... ( I guess that they have to use this material for sharp parts for the kids that we are) otherwise the entire valk use the same white plastic (not like the V1) NO BIG DEAL for info, finally got my missing part today...basically it is wearing its underwear NOW I can enjoy it in 3 modes mode Edited December 14, 2011 by Ghostkiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly have you used and how? uhm actually is kinda trial and error.. when my vf 25 came.after a week or more.. i noticed a few area is start to yellowing.. and then i start to spray it with clear coat.. but then an accident happen with my thinner.. a few of them dripping at my 25.. and then i rub because i'm worry it would hurt the paint.. and then i noticed that the area that was drip by the lacquire thinner is more white than the others. and then i start applying it to other area, perhaps it's like in car when we use compound to eliminate a few scratch.. well it work with me.. i hope it work with others Edited December 14, 2011 by valid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptionZero Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Update from HLJ re: broken hip swing bar: They cannot get replacements from Bandai (no longer supplying them, apparently?), but will accept my entire figure in a return and refund + shipping costs. Very frustrating, as i'd rather have a working figure, and it'll be hard for me to now find a replacement.

Sucks you can't get a replacement though. I don't know of any place that has any stock left except eBay. It's either that or you might have to wait for a reissue.

OptionZero Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I guess I'll wait for a re-issue instead of paying inflated prices. Sadly, I have already paid for a Superpack. . . might be selling my spot in the groupbuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news on a bundle, though I'll jump at a Super VF25G Thanks for the info. I suspect if there is to be a bundle, it won't happen until after April or whenever the Super Packs are released. To announce a bundle now would undercut the Super pack release, as well as the release of the VF-25S in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
