With Arcadia reissuing the YF-19, prolly bandai has to wait until the license expires on Arcadia's end. *disclaimer* this is pure speculation

The surfaces on that one look rough and not polished/sanded/primed enough like the one on Kurisama's shapeway link (not sure who's valk) : http://www.shapeways.com/product/6NVH992MQ/vf-4c-g-k-custom-head-unit

looks great!

considering how cheap these come by, cant wait to see plethora of customs from board members (and other boards too!)

these just arrived

Half an hour to go. Not ordering but tonight should be fun to watch. Good luck guys!

Geez david, policing the threads about people posting links, yet posting insensitive comments.. j/k

both of you took great pictures! getting me all mixed up with those fantastic shots!

great picture as always Saburo! So you decided to go back to DSLR after testing out G4?

nice!

finally! paid shipping with a regult in HLJ privatewarehouse. cant wait to get em!

those stands look sweet. will check them out when I have time (the week's been hectic!). Thanks!

Yeah they do & now theyre sitting in my detolf. Unfortunately no stands. Each comes with a wooden display box, with foam inserts. Was looking on ebay for display stands for the swords, but nothing peeks my interest. Any suggestions on toy-sword/weapons display stand?

I did not watch the TV series, but did see both movies. First was OK-ish (Ekin Cheng & Aaron Kwok) although the storyline diverted a little from the original plot. CG & all was good for that time, but recent rewatch felt kinda meh. 2nd movie was not as good. These are about 9 in long which is bigger than the 1/6th scale. So the details really stand out. Fire kylin sword looks good but I can no longer find it. Oh well, the search continues..

Thanks! Yeah these were hard to trace in the US. Had to go through hoops since I dont think there are many HK toy e-seller nowadays (even if there are, these are exceptionally hard to find). Was just lucky the pair was listed (separately) on ebay HK. I was an early fan of the artist (Ma Wing Shing) because occasionally he'd draw stunning movement visuals, scenes & potraits in his comic (water based & pencil-drawn). Then they switched to computer graphics, powered up their characters to better suit the younger readers & I stopped reading. Never get the chance to watch the live action but heard from a friend that it was good.

Same here. Paid & hopefully Regult will make it on time.

ordered thru HLJ. Still waiting...

whoa, didnt notice this. lots of details. Thanks for posting!

thas a clean looking bird! has the macross-the-ride feel to it

dats dope!

I wonder what stopped Bandai from releasing 30's different paint schemes?..man that thing had potential. seems to be the only mold that has a single release.

Prolly wont be getting the monster. Having issues reorganizing the display case to bare minimum ones that are really, really, really, really, really important. Life with a kid, had to re-prioritize everything including hobby!

Thinking the same too..but I'm in no hurry for a VF-2SS...maybe will wait out for Bandai's incarnation (hopefully not a vaporware)

is it out now? http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/u96480342

Storm Riders 9-inch stainless steel sword replicas. Been looking for these & finally found a seller on ebay HK who was willing to ship to the States. Communication had to be done through google translate & I was surprised these arrived without issues because most of the time the translations went haywire!. I present : "Mighty Sword" & "Snow Drinking Saber" (Also from google translation - don't know if direct translations still carry the same meanings in Chinese!)
