My new favorite Bandai valk! Full of tight joints. At first I was I little put off by the missile rack but it's grown on me. At least you can place it behind him in battroid mode if you don't want it up high. Wish the tail fins locked into place though. Had to look at the box art to see how they were positioned. I definitely needed the instructions to transform this but if you've transformed the VF-25 or YF-29 you'll have no problem. I didn't need the brace in Gerwalk or Battroid but I'm glad they included it for extra support.

Hot off the mail truck! 4 days for EMS. Not bad.

Mine is in SF customs (I feel like everything before ended up in LA customs). Hopefully it makes it through quickly.

With a few exceptions,almost all of my stuff that went through SF customs was released way before ones that went through LA customs.

Mine says it departed LA today. Hope to get mine tomorrow morning.

Actually my NY order tracking says it was already picked up. Most likely won't see it til Monday though.

NY just shipped mine as well.

Google search "BBTS valkyries"

It will come up with the menu page direct link.

BBTS stopped selling Yamato and Bandai because of a C & D from HG, and probably had more weight from having lots of Toynami

brand products, not just RT either. I remember the good old days when you could PO Macross DX tamashii exclusives.

Not to mention they had a whole line up of Yamato goods.

I thought I was the only one who searched BBTS for Macross items this way. =) Funny how you can't get there from within the website itself.

My first ever Mac F toy was preordered from BBTS. The VF-25F Renewal.

Just got a preparation in progress email from NY

Bah! I only ordered 1 with HLJ and I'm fairly sure it was around when they first opened up. If I get one fine. If not, I'll just open up the one I already have to keep me busy.

Want! The video's not working though bro.

Toyarena still has them for $149.99 plus tax and shipping. Still better than ebay prices though.

CDJapan still has the YF-25 for $136 plus shipping.

Hmmm.... I thought the prices for the VF-25S would go down a bit on Mandarake since the announcement of the reissue but there aren't any below ¥40,000.

Hopefully the August restock was just a typo. Maybe, most MW forum members just got theirs at all the other retailers. =)

Got one at HLJ as well and it's still up as I type this. Hmmm....hope we don't get a "Sorry there's been an error" email. BTW, how much is FedEx vs EMS with HLJ. I can't remember.

Don't worry Loop. August is just a day away. Plus we still have the YF-30 to keep you busy while you wait. c",) Yeeesh, I still haven't had a chance to transform mine into Gerwalk or Battroid.

Yeah Amiami usually sends the payment requests when they actually have the product on hand. And if you pay immediately, they usually ship out the next day.

Fantastic pics as usual Saburo!

I think I'll get a second one only because the one I have has a floppy wing.

Has Bandai ever reissued any of their web exclusives?

Thanks Saburo! I love your pics BTW. c",) Here are a few pics in Fighter mode. Gerwalk and Battroid will need to wait since I gotta leave the house. Enjoy!

Mine just landed! I love how the TWE are shipped with plain shipper boxes to help protect the contents.

Just paid for my YF-30. EMS this time though.

just assuming but I believe NY shipping monday all people that suffered delay with the ozma durandal so only hope Don't touch me delay with kronos

Could be right. Mine shipped Monday and I was on the second batch of the Ozma YF-29's.

NY just shipped mine.
