Instructions are up for the VF-1S Armored Valkerie!

Hard to believe its been 12 years since GTA5 was released. That being said, thankfully I'm not upset about a GTA6 delay as there is games that will have my attention till 2027. Namely Battlefield 6 and I still need to play the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion but I want to wait till I get the 1440p OLED I'm waiting on first.

If they had made supers for the 31A I would be more inclined to keep mine instead of trying to sell it

if only some of the administration/courts were macross fan's...ahem..section xx exclusions...macross! what a timing though for US folks...just when the 31A is being released again... someone tell bandai to hold on iconic releases..

The 31 super parts were / are(?) the best and easiest trades a scalper would have made...

If bandai ever releases proper 31 bundles with their corresponding supers...i cant imagine the decision making and budgeting choices i would have to consider......

Tks. Secured one via HLJ cos amiami too slow

As much as I like the Kairos, I think I'm good with the old one I have. Funny thing is, the main reason I wouod want to get the reissue is because I want the newer box that doesn't use styrofoam. Helps prevent yellowing while stored in the box. Now that I think about it, maybe I should get the reissue just for that. But not sure if I'll preorder or just wait until release date and get it at a discount like how the VF-19 is already discounted now.

Could be true or just all fake news and never make it just to drum up interest,

Snagged one at HLJ....got a weird message though when ordering..seems like this pre-order at HLJ can't be cancelled because its past due date..? anyhow just wanted the one...although its tempting to squadron build cannon fodder valks... what a difference from the old 31A pre-order!! No F5 keys used!

Thanks for the info. Good thing I didn't try forcing the leg parts apart after unscrewing the hip screws. I was trying to see if I could wiggle it off. Oh well. Maybe I should just buy another copy and hope that has tighter joints.

Up for sale at AE now, so I grabbed one. We'll see if they show up on Amazon later, but I'm just happy to see it show up again. https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=99137

Regarding the last sentence, I couldn't disagree more. My copy finally arrived today, and I'm quite impressed with how well executed he is. If their aim was to shrink the OG toy while improving articulation, Takara understood the assignment and followed through admirably IMHO. Would it have objectively improved the figure's playability had they allowed the wings to swing back out of the way in bot mode? Absolutely, and I wish that had been their one main departure from the OG design. Additional joints to allow the wings to camber would have also been appreciated too, but the wings are serviceable as-is. As it stands, however, I think this is one of their best Insecticon releases, along with the legends scaled Titans Return Insecticons which had more realistic insect modes than their G1 toys. I love robotic insects, so the nearer they are to the source, the more pleasing I find them. I still find the OG Insecticons charming (coming from Diaclone, they were more insect shaped vehicles than actual robotic insects); however, originating in the short-lived Armored Insect Corps Beetras toyline, designed by Shinji Aramaki who also wanted bots with more realistic insect modes after seeing Takara's Diaclone toys, there were four toys realized which Hasbro used for its Deluxe Insecticons. Aramaki-sensei created seven additional designs, but according to the TF Wiki, none of them went beyond the prototype stage. Unfortunately, Takatoku folded, Bandai acquired their Beetras and Dorvack toylines, and Hasbro acquired the rights to use those toys in Transformers. A taste of what might've been. A planned second series included a hornet, spider, and dragonfly. Speaking to the shoulders: it takes a little tug, but they do click into place. I love how the arms compress and then the shoulders further compress into the body. If they can pull it off with a deluxe, I'm left wondering why they couldn't do the same thing with SS86 Swoop at a leader scale and price point, which would be accurate to the OG toy. I love that Venom (let's just agree to dispense with the official "Venin" name) has articulated legs on ball joints which look realistic and allow for some limited posing in his cicada mode. The wings can be positioned open or closed, another nice touch of realism. In short, I think they did a great job with him and it only makes me want the other Deluxe Insecticons to get their own deluxe scaled, articulation-improved OG-toy-faithful figures instead of the repainted and retooled regular Insecticons that we actually got. I can only hope that there's sufficient interest by the fandom and that Hasbro is aware and willing to turn them into plastic playthings.
