Moosey

Save it for the inevitable Ozma and Roy repaints?

TBH, as cool as their colour schemes are, I prefer schemes seen in the series.

Still a sucker for the SVF-569 Lightnings scheme on the Hasegawa model though

Her head looks too small for her hair.

Nothing like the line art! j/k

Wow. Didn't (but probably shoulda) seen this coming. Those first pics of Battdroid alone make me wanna buy it without further consideration.

As much as I love my Arcadia -19 (and I really really do) I will have to buy this one too on the off chance it looks better in any of the 3 modes!

I've got 3 Yamarcadia Valks and 3 plus one on order Bandai iterations and I have to say my preference on finish is with the Bandai ones.

Looking at my YF-19 beside my VF-25F (both panel lined) the Bandai Valk just jumps out at me more.

More texture (greater and deeper panel line detail) more glossy finish (not necessarily a good thing but makes it pop a little more)

The design of the -25 is sleeker but -19 is still my favourite, so I'll be hopeful Bandai can make fighter mode even sleeker looking than Arcadia

could manage.

Do I care that my $300 Arcadia Valk will be superceeded by a (potentially) superior model, not really.

Am I happy that the possibility of an even better interpretation of the coolest (imop) looking Valk in Macross history exists? You betcha.

After all, what else would I spend my money on?!?!?!

edit added "(potentially)"

love the Yukikaze fighters! might have to get me a few of these!

Don't delay, I bought this one as a rerelease but the prices for the original release were sky high before that.

They've also re released the FFR-41 which I already have (I paid a fortune for it on eBay not suspecting a rerelease was round the corner)

They are beautifully made and finished I have to say but I was surprised that they were all plastic. Thought there would be more metal.

Not that it bothers me, you just have to handle them carefully - especially when adding armament or putting the landing gear pieces on.

Awesome! Thank you, Moosey! Just what I wanted to see, it looks great. Thanks again for putting these pics up so quickly!

No probs! Glad to help. Gave me an excuse to open it (don't really have room for display at the mo)

A few more pics of my new FFR-31 Suoer Sylph as requested by Keiichi.

The first with my VF-25 and YF-19 for scale comparison purposes.

iPhone quality only sorry.

Moosey - That model kit looks great. Wish that was a toy

It is a toy!! Alter 1/100 completed

My model making days are behind me!

Thank god for re-releases! Wanted this for ages.

Congrats to all you happy Chronos owners. The user pics on this thread do the YF-30 more favours than the official pics. I have to say I was originally underwhelmed by the look of this Valk in fighter mode which is why I didn't preorder it. Gerwalk and Batdroid both look awesome though making me think...

HG deserves our hate

And then some

You're not the only one. Not a good day for the workin man

It was a good day for this working man because of the kind MWers who alerted us to the HLJ situation.

I was about to walk out the door when those posts appeared!

hlj go! http://www.hlj.com/product/ban971691/Sci

HLJ gogogo: http://www.hlj.com/product/ban971691/Sci

Thank you. You made my day!

Booooooooom! Got one. Off to work - late but happy!

I gotta go to work in an hour. Knackered. Pissed off. C'mon HLJ/BiJ/NY throw me a freakin bone here!

Only part of a toy. Does this count?
Ordered from Nippon Yasan last Wednesday and arrived on Friday.
That's service!

It's been sitting in it's box for months, and although it's been on my mind, why is it that I

decide it's a good idea to try and panel line my VF-25F at 3am, after half a bottle of scotch?

I need help. (I've run out of scotch)

Announced at Anime Expo 2014

Hope this isn't a repost.

It was you ! . I sold my zero collection a few days ago planning on getting the cash for that 1/60 max 1J. When i went on it was gone.

My bad, i think that's a 1/48 Max isn't it?

Yes it's the 1/60. Sorry dude. When I checked the stocklist before I went, there were 2 available. One opened and one not opened. I got the opened one as the other was already gone. Sorry to pull the rug from under you!

So sorry for your loss.

PM'd re renewal Michael Super Parts

A quick trip to Tokyo last week yielded the following courtesy of Mandarake Nakano.......

(have yet to apply stickers/transfers to super parts)

I love Gerwalk mode.
I remember as a kid, before I knew of Macross/Robotech, wondering why my Jetfire Transformer had an "inbetween" mode!

I think I prefer it to most Batdroid.

My new YF-19 is facing me in Gerwalk as I type this and even though it seems a very nose heavy pose from some angles, I think it looks epic.

Mine arrived this morning.

Unmolested thankfully.

I've only ventured as far as Gerwalk as yet (no experience with any previous 19s), although I didn't manage to get it to strike a particularly good pose.

It is a thing of beauty in Fighter mode and that was how I fell in love with this Valk in the first place.

Quick snap of Max welcoming Isamu........

Folks will be glued all night to the AmiAmi site during the next Bandai DX 2 minute pre-order party!

Some folks.......

So sorry for you guys experiencing difficulty with Amiami and your busted Valks.

It seems so far removed from everything you experience as a visitor to Japan when they are courteous

and polite to a fault and can't do enough for you (assuming they can understand you ).

Amiami have undoubtedly "lost face" through this issue and more importantly, they've lost my confidence

and my custom as well as that of others around here.

In other news I just laid out another £53 in import tax so I can have mine (ordered from HLJ - fingers crossed) on Monday.

(If I get home from work in time).
