Kanedas Bike Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Maybe I didn't do the right search on man. I saw that NY had them for 200. Didn't see any on jungle. I searched wrong. There are a ton of them up Blame N-Y. Scalper-ific store is scalper-ific. Ditto. You had me worried there for a bit! Fear not (or maybe just a little ). -b.

Valk-1S Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It's still available from places like Amazon JP, but the prices is slowly going back up. It's about 14-15k Yen now. I managed to get it at 12,980 Yen before shipping about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly!! Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nope, cancelled it. I've got some other, better things going instead. I am somewhat annoyed that NOW, after I decide to cancel, it ships, though... Just realized that I also ordered one on HLJ! Will send an email to follow up.

mickyg Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Anyone else having this problem with their renewal Valk: See how the black part of the white radome doesn't line up with the rest of the black part, ahead of the canopy? At first I thought it was the radome not clicking in straight, but there's no perceivable raised edge on one side compared to the other, so I know it's in and aligned straight. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice the black insert (call it the "anti-glare strip") is actually misaligned. There's a bigger gap on the left side, vs the right, which I think you can make out in the picture. Unfortunately, I've had this thing apart already and failed to see if there was anything I could file down to get it to fit better. Just curious if anyone else has notice this on their valks? And yes, that's purposely over-exposed so you can see what I'm attempting to point out. Edited October 20, 2014 by mickyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) My 25G is like that as well, but it doesn't appear to be an issue in any of my other 25's. The 25F and S released before it doesn't exhibit this and the RVF that was released right after is not like that either. My 25S also seems to have that same gap. Edit: corrected statement.

mickyg Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hmmm... I'll have it apart again in the not too distant future and will see if I can figure out what it is that causes the misalignment. Still shaking my head that the piece is blue, painted black. But hey, we're all past that! Plus, it's an awesome piece of my collection, that I've been waiting to get for years. Not gonna knock it. Well, not too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The misalignment is most likely at the hinge somehow. I'm not entirely sure it can be corrected. I hope the 25S reissue has that problem fixed, not that I've been able to secure one yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Just took a look and everything appears to be ok , other than paint on the radome appears off-centered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Annoying, ain't it? Well it certainly is now. I just looked at the nose of my 25G and wouldn't you know it, there is the tiniest of gaps in that same area (off to the left if you're looking at the Valkyrie from the front). You get a sarcastic "thanks" my friend. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I'm here to help. I don't think it's the fit of the radome, though. If you look at the pics (and your own Valk), you'll see the boundary of the black piece (on the radome) still lines up with the outside edge of the slot the anti glare panel fits in. I really do think it's the panel that's the problem. Edited October 20, 2014 by mickyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly!! Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hmm.. Got tired of waiting for a reissue so I sprung for a 25g last week. Bit of a let down to see this issue.. Thanks though. Will check once it arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
