This guy right here
-
As long as the colors don't get tweaked, I'm down.
-
I always imagined they are just reactive armor panels for the chest.
-
I knew people would come around on this valk. I really loved it at first sight, but then they made the changes to the fold quartz colors and I had second thoughts. I am glad I did not cancel my pre-order on this one as I still like it even though they used purple for all the fold quartz.
-
LOL yeah, there are too many to go through to find it.

I would not force it at all. I didn't even have to force mine to break. I was pulling the arm down like normal and then all of a sudden I had a arm in my hand It took no pressure at all. Others have commented that my die-cast could have been poured wrong. It literally disintegrated without any pressure. You may want to take the arm apart and examine the balljoint. Mine has something in it that causes it not to move. I tried to play with the ball joint while the arm was un attached, and its way hard to even get it to move a tiny bit. BTW I still have not gotten a reply from NY. I think all I need to fix it is the diecast bar that holds the arm section to the engine nacelles. I was able to get my VF-4 back into fighter mode like it is, but it sucks not being able to choose other modes. My first copy functions like a dream though. I have transformed it a couple of times without issue. I own a ton of toys with die-cast and this is the first time I have experienced this.
-
Yep, it was green.
-
Is the Bandai version slightly taller?
-
Hahaha good one. BUT STOP IT!
-
Lupin, I was being sarcastic. I made that statement because I always feel like I get knots in my stomach when dealing with these damn Bandai valks. I've never come at you with the tinfoil hat discussion. If anything I said you have a right to express your opinion, but let's not crap on each other in these threads.

I have yet to hear from NY on my customer service request. I might try to contact Yamato via a friend in japan...
-
Lol I have not opened up the baggies yet.
-
That kinda looks like what seized up my shoulder joint.
-
I think veef showed these affects of the v1 design on the follow up video he made of the VF-25S Renewal.
-
The Kai face is molded into the visor. behind the visor it looks mechanical.
-
I thought I was going to wait for the Yamato Frontier valks too but caved in. Bandai finally made a version that was worth owning in my opinion, but we still get shafted because of how they are handling the distribution of the renewals. They must have a deal with the pharma company's to sell more anti-anxiety meds lol.
-
I'd take another F and S also. I got spare SP's sitting in boxes in the closet.
-
And a battle 7 after that
-
I just scored one of those from a member here on the forum. I was looking for it since Dec 09 or 10, can't remember. I missed the webshop pre-order on it and wanted to kick myself.
-
I think it's really random. My D is way tighter than my S.
-
Yeah it is kinda small, but I think it will fit into my random smaller robot display.
-
If you slowly work the head on the joint it should loosen up. I had the same problem with the neck cover and side panels. The head lasers have to be in the right position for the side panels to lay down. As far as the neck cover, I had to actually make the head nod towards the inner compartment that holds the head in fighter mode to be able to get the cover on. Looking at your final pic, you need to nod the head a bit more down and it should sit flush.
-
It arrived right after the new year. It's actually really nice too. I had it in Batteroid for a couple of days but decided I like it in fighter more. I just don't have enough of my VF-19's displayed in fighter.
-
I missed out on the Riobot re-release. Did that one have diecast? or was it all plastic?
-
It will be like a pleasant surprise when it arrives. I don't know if I could handle another set if it's "pooping off"
