505thAirborne Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 50% off Nexx for a Black Friday deal and I'll go for it! While I hope for Arcadia/Bandai to make a 1/60 of their own, I am not holding my breath either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 80% to get doubles! Even at 80%, I don't think they deserve for us to get doubles. Unless of course you meant by getting a different paint stripe variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acteon Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi, I'm new to the boards but have been lurking for a short while and really appreciating all the great opinions and advice across the forums. I'm quite an avid Macross collector these days, so it's great to find a dedicated board I actually picked up the Nexx VF2-SS for 19,000Y on my last trip to Japan. Having seen the CDX review of the Sylvie variant and comments on here, I kinda knew what I was letting myself into, but have to say that overall I'm kinda pleased with it. The figure could be better, but I remember that the first release of the Chogokin VF25 wasn't all that great compared to the re-edited version released later, so very few Valks are perfect. I have mine in Battroid mode - since most of my collection ends up being posed behind glass, I'm pleased enough for now. I'd love to see the Hi-Metal series take this on, I really hope the hints I heard about on here come to fruition as the Roy Fokker VF-1 I bought earlier this year is one of my favourite Valks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you liked the VF-2SS in battroid mode. To be honest, that's the safest mode that you can display this Valk. And it's the best form in this toy.

To be honest, that's the safest mode that you can display this Valk. And it's the best form in this toy. It is quite a sexy design, if a little out of place in the larger canon. I'll always have a soft-spot for it in my heart though, Macross II was the first Macross series I saw as a teenager. Thankfully things improved from there! And thanks for the warm welcome!

505thAirborne Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 After seeing the VF-2SS HMR, pretty sure I have no need for another ET version, they are larger yet so far the Bandai version looks sooooo much better IMO.

jenius Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If it hits that price at HLJ I'll probably buy one so I can get it shipped with my other loot. More for completion of my website purposes than anything else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I hope so, while I am very intrigued by the HMR 2SS, would be cool to have ET's Silvie & Nexx Valks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If they start giving these away, then I may consider getting a second one. As much as I love the VF-2SS design, the frustration factor with these is too high and the fun factor too low. Gonna sit back and chill and wait for the Bandai HM-R version instead.

Save Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 There is a shop in Akihabara that has dropped the Nexx to 15,000 yen. If anyone is interested in getting one PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if ET considered the VF-2SS line a success? Or is their Macross II line dead? I think there was a pic showing a green striped version...thinking that may never see a release.
