What did you make that strap from?

Until they released the 1/100 Regults all I ever heard of them was negativity.

Based on the votes from the board people here wanted some of the critters from Mospeada instead.

It's cool they're offering this alternative though I'm not a fan of the DYRL color scheme personally. It's ironic the near universally reviled Toynami is delivering a relatively decent product and filling a niche the other Macross manufacturers aren't willing or able to.

I haven't popped them out. Haven't even transformed it yet. I've been enjoying the look of it in fighter mode.

I just got mine today. I'm not fond of the fighter or gerwalk modes but Battroid is where it's at. It looks great posing next to my two Toynami Regults. I'm also very impressed with some of the transformation/joint ideas used on this valk. Despite being small and toy-like (it is a toy...) it feels very solid. None of my 1/60 Yammies feel as stable as this little guy. I think I'll be springing for the VF-19S now.

I just got my Roy VF-1S today. I totally LOVE the way this thing looks. The bright white on yellow and black is exactly how I remember Roy's Valk and it looks stunning to me. Out of all my Valks I might be the most happy with how this one looks.

I'm so kicking myself for not buying one of the Max variants. That's a pretty colored bird.

I finally got mine early this morning. They combined my VF-1S with the Hi-Metal VF-1J order and gave me the 15% shipping discount. Just needs to ship now. The waiting really is the hardest part...

Amiami seems to have completely removed all record of any of my pre-orders there. Three of them no longer seem to exist.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check that tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like a pretty cool toy. I wish Amiami hadn't screwed me out of my pre-order. I'll have to find one of these sometime soon.

Wow, cracked? That sucks man. I guess I should check mine to see if I have one too. I noticed my left wing seems a little loose and will easily fall if it gets tapped. I didn't notice any discoloration on mine. I seem to be getting pretty lucky with all of my valks so far. No shoulder exploding on my Hikaru VF-1A DYRL or VF-1J with the armor (yet), and both of the VF-11C's have legs that stay connected to the body.

Finally got my Gamlin yesterday. It's a lot darker than the photos made it look. I was very happy to find that out. Pretty cool looking. Now that Max 22 is calling to me... ugh, I don't have any more shelf space to keep these things on!

All is well that ends well.

Well never mind. Amiami decided, although I preordered, that they didn't have the quantity of items and apparently canceled it. Or, rather, the pre-order had an error and then disappeared from my cart.

That's pretty cool. Too bad it can't transform. I want to see a Giant Playboy Bunny on the Heatshield in Battroid mode.

Geeze, I got screwed. I Fed Ex'ed to Albuquerque, NM and the damn thing is holed up in Anchorage for whatever stupid reason.

Holy crap, where do you live? Mine went out the 23rd and it's still STUCK in customs.

I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. Will let everyone know what I think once it arrives unless somebody else here beats me to the review. That crouching position is pretty cool looking. And the shots of Hikaru and Max back to back makes the Max Valk look pretty cool.

I wish I'd ordered a Max as well now... that's a nice shade of blue.

Damn, nice pics. I'm so glad I broke down and decided to order one of these.

I'm waiting on Fed Ex to deliver a VF-22 Sturmvogel and a second VF-11C (hopefully with legs that remain attached in Battroid) from HLJ. Estimated delivery, Monday.

Excellent job. While it's a bummer I have neither the money or space for something like this I highly encourage you to keep taking fancy/detailed pics so we can all enjoy vicarously through you.

I do seem to recall there being red triangles on the shoulders of Roy's Valk as well. It's not hard evidence for Roy's valk but if you check out pretty much all of the other Yamato TV Valk's they have Red triangle's on the shoulders. Hikaru's 1J, Max's 1A and 1J, Milia's 1J. I think pretty much all of them have it, I don't have Kakizaki's or the CF's but I do recall the animation having red triangles on those fighters as well. I'd bet Roy's was done the same.
