Interesting, this should be a lot of fun to check out for myself when it arrives (hopefully) tomorrow. It's too bad Yammie's 17 doesn't sound like it locks as well as the 171, I was never terribly happy with how the backpack holds in either mode. Whether it's tight or loose I don't really like that hip system on the 17 so the fact the 171 has a similar solution is a bummer too. I guess Bandai had to make something frigidty/annoying on this one too. Wing pins are dumb. I'm worried if the armor parts aren't tooled quite right we're going to end up with floppy messes when we switch out our wings now.
-
Hey Graham, how does the hip mechanism compare to the VF-17 versions? Also, how does the backpack attach/hold versus the 17 in Battroid? Is the backpack solid in Gerwalk compared to the 17 too?
-
Hey man I'm just checking. I saw a few others were getting shipments and I haven't ordered from these guys before.
-
So how many people who bought at Nippon Yasan have seen orders go out yet? I'm still waiting in processing and am wondering if I should fire off an e-mail or I'm just being impatient.
-
When do we start the group buy for the 171 parts?
-
To be honest, in animation the 17S head looks bad but on the toy the "Frankenstein" head actually looks really bad-ass.
-
That's not a bad idea either Graham.
-
If the hands do have to come off, and I completely understand why, it's too bad there isn't someplace they can be stored on the fighter so the people who do transform it often can just flip that place open and pull them out for convenience sake. I'd like a little place to store the covers on my VF-17 personally.
-
Your best bet is to use an extra gun pod from a VF-1 I'd imagine.
-
That is not a C. Besides, I've already had to blow $500+ on travel expenses for my Grandma's funeral. Even at that price I can't justify the extra spending.
-
Holy crap, that's cheap! And it comes at the worst time when I have to spend at least $500 for other things.
-
I'm pretty sure those hands are not "optional." The enclosure for the forearms are a strange size and I very much doubt they could fit hands inside of there.
-
The only "line art" I've seen of the landing gears are from those Musasiya. Hardly official. But the gears are pretty short on it.
-
Inestable is not a word.
-
That's an interesting observation. This 3D model does really make it look Alpha-esque. However it's transformation is more like a VF-1/11 hybrid.
-
Ah crap, you mean I have to get a fourth 11C so I can put the armor on one too?
-
If the gap on the back is anything like on the VF-17, and it looks like it is, it's no surprise they can fit the missiles in Battroid. There's tons of room to cram/hide stuff on that 17.
-
I don't know what's going on here but I'm glad it's happening.
-
Who would have thunk that in model form I actually kinda like the way that Gerwalk looks. And I've never liked the Gerwalk on this thing. Then again the 17's toy sold me the same way too.
-
Or you could be pro-active and contact them now...
-
Any news on this K? I've been waiting to see how this turns out.
-
I would say considering how rare it is they release something as ubiquitous as VF-1 Fast packs (they pretty much don't anymore) I wouldn't get your hopes up about a separate release for the 17. I'm 99.9% sure you're going to have to buy a D if you want them.
-
I like Fed Ex because they don't break things like UPS always does delivering to my place and they don't lose things like the shitty postal service here in New Mexico always does.
-
That's pretty much the price I estimated it would be with the Packs included. Somewhere between $320 and $340 based on what they always charged extra for VF-1's with Packs included.
-
I got that same Nippon Yasan message last night. I'll take "free" Fed Ex upgrades considering how much they charged for the thing originally.
