Question for the old-school Takatoku collectors here I always hear the packaged Valkyrie/Armor sets (either valk & super or valk & gbp) referred to as the 'giftsets' So this would be the GBP GiftSet. I get the term is used to differentiate a normal VF-1S from the standalone armor packages, as it could get confusing how to refer to it But where does the term 'Giftset' originate? Is it on the packaging or instructions or something? Is it referred as such in Japan? Is it a states only thing? Curious minds want to know

yeah...this is what I like to see leg fins poking through the armor like they should be...none of this folding nonsense...bandai dx talkin' about YOU 😛

Is that the thing pictured here? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c1078540340 When I looked at this picture I had no frame of reference for what I was supposed to be looking at...then my brain resolved some legs and a torso and a head at top. I know nothing about Delta, but that is a LOT of missiles and some really big boosters, and some rail gun things? Is this the ultimate-ultimate armament valk? Like it is King of the Hill type thing like the Strike VF-1 used to be?

Did you try Closed Captioning and Auto-Translation?

Maybe they keep the boxes larger, so they take up more space on the retailer shelves, so they can still look fully stocked with higher priced smaller inventory 😛 But unlike the Hasegawa 1/48s for example (you could pack 2x of the kits in one box), the Bandai looks pretty full?

Just noticed that VT-1 and VE-1 have the pointy nose instead of the rounded, and the VT-1 has a different chest color and heat shield color. Cool

Was it anyone here who won it? That is a healthy sold price. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k1077364458

Wow-that totally rocks, it was meant to be in the Zentradi Heritage colors.

Thanks for the video link, I enjoyed that! Its a nice format to see the booklet/line drawings, then seeing the animation in context. Very cool. It is always crazy to see this cel, as xstoys has it in his personal collection. Wild.

It is a royal pain..but .working on it! I found the data, seeing how I can load it up with current versions of apache...this stuff was from 2003!
