QEssential Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I have to admit the VF-2SS Nexx looks awesome on my shelf. But I do feel like slapping myself everything I think about the $400 AUD I spent on this thing. $200 maybe but $400?!?!? *insert crying emoji here* I also shake my head in disbelief when I think about the tail fins on this thing. WTF were they thinking? How can anyone justify this thing!?!??!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raya1823 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 OMG!! I received my VF-2 this weekend and what a POS!! I'm so glad I got it off Yahoo Jap and it pay retail. Not sure if I'm going to try to sell it or just leave it in the box, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG Blows Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Got the Nex set on ebay for $174 after ebay bucks earned. The matte plastic feels better, looks okay from top down perspective, and the extra tabs added helps hold the legs better in fighter. The arms still hang loose and floppy though. The plastic on the SAP feels cheap as hell, and the fact that they don't give you both gunpods kinda pisses me off. Probably feeling mostly regret on this one, but at least I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP. Being a VF-2SS fan is suffering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing you didn't pay full price. Better to wait and see what Bandai's HMR line can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I really love the VF-2SS design, especially with SAP, so I so wanted these toys to be good. But after being extremely frustrated and disappointed by the standalone Sylvie VF-2SS, there was no way I was going to spend money on the SAP versions. I just hope the Bandai HMR doesn't turn out to be vaporwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Since I am not into "swooshing" my VF's around the house ....the toy does really well in doing what I need it to do....which is to simply display well.....the only difference with my other VF's is that I had to settle on one pose for fear of it breaking or coming apart from over-handling/multiple transformations....I went with gerwalk for my Faerie Squadron VF-2SS... I have yet to open up the Nexx I was finally able to pick up on the cheap....think I'll go battroid for that one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Since Japanese toy manufacturers pay more attention to the domestic market, I wonder if Japanese collectors have been as critical as we are about this release. I'm thinking in Evolution's upcoming Legioss and the slim chance is not as bad as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convectuoso Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Suddenly I remember that there was a Mecha called "Metal Siren" in Macross II, and I thought that it would have been an awesome toy.

Boobytrap Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'd still buy it. Fighter and Gerwalk are much better looking. Battroid also has an 'attack' mode that looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Something about me likes the Battroid of the Metal Siren yet Fighter & Gerwalk modes.... not so much. The term a "Throw-away" design always comes to mind with this Valk. That said if ET made it as well the VF-2JA, my Visa card would slap me for buying them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorindor Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Sooo... Way back, there was some discussion about some members here making covers for the horrible metal bars in Fighter mode. Did those projects go anywhere? I would still be interested in buying something like that at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) It seems to me that the metal siren has a cult following. I would love to see Bandai add it as part of the HM-R line of toys. Maybe if they release the HM-R VF-2SS, they can visit the metal siren's design. Edited May 30, 2017 by technoblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those plans faded away unfortunately, I would have bought 2 or 3 sets. @technoblue Fingers crossed with the HMR line making Valks from Macross II. VF-2SS+SAP, VF-2JA and sure why not, the Metal Siren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
