I was looking a the pics of the valkyrie and I think that the face is kinda clownish...But I convinced myself it should be a great valkyrie since yamato has only been getting better with the designs of the new valkyries, but this price just made me realize that I will regret it since the price will make me emphasize the clown face of the valkyrie and grow to dislike it. If yamato made a new yf-19 with the new locking mechanism that would be a different story.
Oh yea by the way are there any bootlegs of these Yamato products? I have seen ebay sellers mention that there are bootlegs coming out of china... is this true?
