I wonder if Saran wrap over the ball would work? Hmmm...I guess I could try it and get back to you guys.
-
A small rubber band should work as well.
-
Try this. It's for the YF-29 shoulder but he does point out what part of the leg screws need to be removed. He also shows how joints are tightened.
-
Thanks guys! The landing gears are metal with rubber tires just like on the valk itself. And it holds up fine. c",)
-
Here's Alto's.I just noticed that the leg armor has the landing gear built into it. Was the first version like this?
-
BTW, I find that the chest piece should be on first while in battroid mode to make sure its locked in place before changing to gerwalk or Valkyrie. I was trying to put it on while it was in fighter and couldn't get it to "click" in place which is why it kept popping off.
-
One cool thing is that you get two sets of chest missile pods. You get to choose which way you want the doors to open.
-
Awesome work! Wish i had your skills!
-
I never owned V.1 so I can't compare. I find it comparable to the super packs. The chest piece on mine keeps falling off in fighter mode. Still fiddling around with proper fit.
-
Some brief shots. Like mass driver said with the armor on it's really back heavy. I almost wasn't able to get it to stand.
-
Woot!
-
Mine just left customs. Hoping for delivery by tomorrow.
-
I've always wondered the same thing! I have no idea how their search function works. I just go to google and type "bbts valkyries" and get better results than typing "valkyries" in the site search box.
-
Thanks! Hmm...well I really wanted both. Looks and transformability. Well, I guess that's why they made a DX version. Now that you guys answered my questions I think I'm going to keep a lookout for a DX VF-27
-
Thanks David! Sorry to stray off topic but what about diffuliculty in assembly, playability, transformation, etc? My model building skills leave much to be desired. c",)
-
Hmmm...how do the 1/72 scales stack up against the 1/60's? I've thought about purchasing one (the VF-27 to be specific ) since I missed out on the DX.
-
Glad somebody was able to get a Macross Frontier preorder from BBTS. I did get my Alto Renewal from them but after the Ozma incident, I now preorder through Japan based retailers so my chances of actually getting order fulfilled are greater.
-
You are correct sir!
-
They're legit. I got my VF-171EX, YF-29, F and S Super parts and now they just sent my F and S Armor parts. I've got the VF-25G and VF-171EX armor parts on preorder as well from them. =)
-
All the VF-25's are Messiah Valkyries including Alto's. The only two that are out right now are the VF-25F and VF-25S when it comes to renewals with the VF-25G coming out in September. Most retailers list them as renewals or version 2.0 Be prepared to spend around $500 if you want the F or S with a Super Pack. Good luck!
-
Well it depends. The VF-25F is the poster child of Macross Frontier. Watch any episode and it's in the opening credits. It's also the main fighter of the "hero", Alto Saotome. And yes, he almost always uses the super pack except for one time when you uses the armor pack. Are you asking if it is the best fighter, firepower/maneuverability/speedwise? Or are you asking which one best represents the show? If its the former, then I would say no. If the latter, then Yes.

Just got my shipping notification and tracking number from NY! Woot!
-
Hot Damn!
-
NY stated they're receiving their stock on the 27th so they should be shipping orders shortly.
-
Congrats on the purchase! I got my Alto at $200. Ozma though? Close to $300 since I had to scramble late in the game for one since I, like many others here, was BBTS'd.
