  1. I noticed in a couple episodes when this thing is flying in fighter mode, the gold highlights are hidden and then dramatically appear. What's that about? I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be significant somehow.

    I wonder why they went backwards from the swivel waist of the YF-30.
  3. Yeah, I mean, so it can point or shoot up, or whatever. Like jenius said. I'm wondering if it's just a limitation of the toy or if it's designed that way a la Kawamori. I don't really care either way, just curious.
  4. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if this thing's arms rotate all the way around? I mean, I know the toy's arms don't, but I was wondering if there are line arts or sketches or specs that show it.
  5. holy crap
  6. Anyone try a tiny bit of Bondic or super glue or some other method to create a fake detent for the tail fins?

    Well that's fine, but I am. I guess I wouldn't be if the valks and toys *never* had them, but they always had them until the -30 and after, which seems kinda sloppy.

    Same deal with VF-31 as with the -30: no visible forward thrust mechanism in Gerwalk mode, nor any obvious maneuvering verniers, that every preceding Valkyrie had. Are these ignored details on animation model/toys, or is there some new in-universe tech?
  9. Hmm, this thing doesn't seem to have any verniers either (which are present in all over Valks also). How does it maneuver in space?
  10. Yeah, actually I like all three of those styles. Nice variety.
  11. Yep, first episode of Frontier I think, Alto coasts forward in gerwalk mode for a while using those thrusters after he rescues Ranka. Damn, I really like the -30 but this is gonna bother me, haha. I'm silly like that I guess.
  12. So.... guys. Where are the rear thrusters on this thing in gerwalk mode? I.e., how does it fly forward in gerwalk mode? As far as I remember every other Valk has some sort of thrust that can be used for this purpose; even the -25 has those tiny little things where the shield was connected in fighter mode. But I can't see any such thing on the -30.

    I actually like the shape of the gear, although David's point about the doors acting as accidental air brakes during take off is interesting.
  14. Are you able to lock in the legs/intakes in GERWALK for more stability if you didn't need the waist joint?
  15. Because of all those extra atms of pressure in the vacuum of space, right?
  16. So this may be the worst idea ever, but... Has anyone considered just gluing the missiles in place?
  17. The arms do take some particular aligning to go back. I'm pretty comfortable with it so you will eventually get an instinctive feel for it, but I hear ya, the first several times it was not fun.
  18. Given your previous post history I'm not sure it's a joke at all. You have some sort of rage crusade or something.
  19. Ahh yeah you're right. Now that I see that the module can store neatly in fighter mode I like it even more.
  20. Hahahaha I really want this thing! The only thing that looks odd is the missile pod FAST pack in fighter mode.
  21. This is pretty much it right here, for any business. Let's not kid ourselves here about company morality - what it boils down to is "this particular company's business strategy is not conducive to me getting foreign toys as an unintended market and that makes me angry".
