But the question is, did the valk survive unscathed?

Has anyone received any preparation email from NY? I was under the impression that the super parts were released last Saturday or did I get it wrong?

Same here, still nothing from NY for me..I think give it abit of time.

My VF-!D finally arrived after two months!

Open up a bottle of champagne!

Blue mouse = VF-1J Max confirmed!

.....on a more serious note, the gold trims make it look kinda cool.

I love the Turn X, and yes I was also disappointed in how fairly easy it was too. The feature that I adore the most is definitely the articulated fingers of the right arm, the first turn X toy with that gimmick.

Mine was stuck too. I had to use a pair of angled tweezers to lever the block out.

That good, maybe we can get some black Friday discount on HLJ.

Same here, used the same discount for the expensive YF-19

Actually with regards to the tail fins, design-wise I don't think you could blame Bandai for that, since the designer of the valk is Kawamori himself and not the company. Unless you mean the engineering which is the fin being easily removable, now that is Bandai's design choice.

However I am grateful for that removable fin as my YF-30 dropped from my table once. Gave me a heart attack when I saw the fins on the floor and thought that they broke (I only have one YF-30!). Luckily they were just popped off the wing.

It's also not the only sci-fi plane with unorthodox tail fins that stuck out.

For one, Arcadia/Yammie valks doesn't have as much scratchable paint jobs as Bandai's. Mine is full of tiny nicks and especially the YF-30. But given that the original design/colouring of the valk is partly to blame anyway.

Damn it, I missed the PO!

17 September is the due date for NY for the super parts

@Saburo and others looking for the Jolly Rogers decals

Just search for Macross Decals and you would find them. Comes in different sizes.

So when do you guys predict Bandai's gonna announce the add-on stuff for the YF-30? It's usually around 6 months of lead time for Tamashii exclusives(as it should be) from pre-order to release. Unless they're just yanking our leg with the removable missile pod and armament ports.

Another Naoki build - that man is my current Gunpla hero. No excessive surgery, but very well-balanced weathering.

This is the kind that I prefer over the trendy overly detailed/pla-plated/parts-bashed/excessive-scribed panel line stuff I see nowadays.

They're 1/60 V1's. Yamato only produced 1/72 valks mostly from M+.

I've only been in this hobby for a little more than a year but I had my similar experiences. I once highly regretted selling my first 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J (not sure why the h*ll I sold it) and VF-25G Renewal(I felt the price I paid for it was too high, so sold it). After selling them, I felt so remorseful that I always kept a look out for them everywhere. But after a while and with much luck, I managed to get them again!

Now, I don't really feel like selling any of my valks unless I have to.

I had a Bandai Koenig Monster once, I'm not sure why I don't regret selling it, It WAS a great toy, especially in the Destroid mode. I think it's just my mind in denial.

So, given the expected price for this toy ($200-$250) does anyone expect it to sell out in seconds? Or be around for a while (hours or days)?

No Bandai nonsense with Arcadia

I always, say to each their own. That being said, if you open them you have a cool toy to play with/display whatever. If you don't open them you have a fancy box.

If I open them, I have fancy box too right?

I asked this ages ago, but does anyone have a video review of how to change VF-17 from Batroid to Fighter (not the other way around). I have never transformed mine since I transformed from Fighter to Batroid using a video review, cause I am scared I might mess it up.

CDX has one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPHqtpoKmU8

Isn't this a similar concept to the Regnant and the Koenig Monster, just in a smaller scale?

Umm don't post open/available stuff here...see first post.. some might go crazy

stupid missile armor

.__.

Green 0D?! Where can I find pictures of it?

The PO for the dash option set will start on 21 August
