Is not just you, there to many old school builders that consider Bandai kits for kids or entry levels, with that demonic transformation, but as soon you consider the kit only for entry levels soon you are excluding your self to do a properly build trapped on old methods.
You can do excelent models with Bandai kits, all depend of the effort that you put in, and is a true challenge make the kits with transformation, a plus that you can face or not and only experts can sucess.
I dont want a toy, and hell I don´t want a model of plane mode, I want a Valkirie kit, that is not other thing that a variable fighter.
