    EMS for me. I send them an email asking if they know for certain that they will be able to fulfill my order. Depending on their answer I will keep it or not. If not hopefully they allow the cancellation of the YF-29 Ozma Custom Super Parts as well.

    I guess it has to to with the Battroid-Mode. In Battroid the light gray from the underside of the cockpit area is visible. I guess the light gray stripes should help the torso area to look a but wider and not as spindly. This is just a guess though.

    Thanks for the info. I ordered some sticker sheets but I messed up the number of the sheets I want to get so hopefully they can change that (I emailed them 5 seconds after I placed the order) otherwise I will have a bunch of extra Autobot logos.

    So fiddling some more with my copy of the YF-19 I really dislike the way the tail-fins are designed. Is there any way to fold them with the Super Parts attached? Or do I have to detach the leg packs every time I transform it? I really don't understand why Arcadia parted with design on the Yamato one. It looks stunning in Fighter-Mode and I prefer the way the shield is attached to the forearms in Fighter-Mode. On my Excalibur it always falls of when handling the toy. The leg packs are crap. But I'm still happy with it.

    I like the storage option on the shield so I would like to be able to flip in the handle without prying the plastic apart.

    On further inspection everything looks ok on my copy. However I don't know how the handle on the gun-pod suppose to fold down. When I remove the shoulder rest I can fold the handle down in the little cavity. Now I don't know how to get the shoulder rest back onto the gun-pod. I'm unable to slide it over because there is a stop that prevents the handle from folding down in non-storage-mode. Am I suppose to clip the shoulder rest onto the gun-pod? Any help. I also like the underside of the YF-19 much more than on the VF-19S I have. It looks much less gappy. Especially the area between the elbows and the egress hatch.

    Don't get me wrong I have the VF-171CF but the Armored Parts looks so bland with the dark green color of the Valkyrie. The colors combination on the Alto version looks so much nicer to me. So maybe someday I will have a armored VF-171EX and a bare VF-171CF. I also said I don't like the YF-25 but with every day the blue, orange and white looks more striking.

    With all the yellow linings all over the Valkyrie it reminds me of a ZoE mech. I like the place of the skull logo. Every other place would make the YF-29 look unbalanced. It is a cape insignia and thus should be placed on the cape.

    I have a quick question. Has anyone experience with ordering from Reprolables? I want to order some faction sticker sheets but I'm not certain what to do exactly. From the sparse information I gathered I came up with this. Mail them your order and shipping address to delta@reprolabels.com Put the items of your order into the shopping card at their web site Pay through Paypal Is this the way to do it? Thanks

    Or four huge missiles. It would be cool if additional weapon bays are transformable as well for more play value.

    Quick question. On this picture look at the area where the dark gray of the main fuselage and the light gray of the cockpit interior meet. To me this looks like paint overspray. Does this mean that the entire fuselage is painted in this dark gray color just like on the YF-29 30th Anniversary? Or is it the other way round and the light gray is painted?
  12. Scyla
    Is the weapon bay designed to detach so it could be swapped with other weapon options?
  13. Scyla
    Of course my comment was aimed solely on Frontier Valkyries. I feel the urge to get a YF-25 and a VF-171EX Alto Custom.

    I love MMCs Airborne Squad. They are great toys. Even after all the time I had my Warper I still love to play with him. So many options! Sorry for the crappy pictures!
  15. Scyla
    They always ask me after a order (everything goes to the PW first) if I like to pay with auto transfer or without. Maybe you clicked on the auto transfer once and now it is stored as preference. If there isn't a way to change it in your account settings send an email to the HLJ customer service and see if they can change it for you.

    I hope it is similar to the Gerwalk-Mode stand adapter for the Messiahs. They also have a support fork but can stand fine without it. Probably it is there to reduce the stress on the piece. [edit: ] Some images without the stand: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37897&p=1116946

    Would you prefer the top side of the aft fuselage? [edit: ] Now that I think of it this is probably wrong. Should be something like the general fuselage since the mount for the missile bay starts right behind the head turret which looked also pretty uneven in previous pictures.
  18. Scyla
    I would appreciate detailed pictures of Fighter-Mode to see if the alignment of the center spine has changed.

    I guess I'm done with Bandai when the YF-30 is released. On the other hand not that I got so many of the Frontier Valkyries I think I need the variants I missed.
  20. Scyla
    I do. However I don't know if I should get some tape to protect it from paint scratches. The endangered parts are the black paint behind the canopy and the one where the nosecone detaches in front of the cockpit right?
  21. Scyla
    Well it will not look good. I wouldn't be disappointed if this was a mass market toy for kids but as a high end collectible I feel that it has to have the right color and the right detailing.

    So I received my Arcadia YF-19 yesterday from HLJ. The box was squished on the top side even if it was all neatly packed with those funny package balloons. I guess the package had a rough ride from Japan. A quick inspection showed no damage on the wings and no missing parts. I might have time to check it out on Sunday. I liked the Arcadia VF-1S boxes so I'm sad that they changed it for the YF-19. The VF-1s had a nice Windows 8 look to them. Keep them consistent Arcadia! I really don't like the missing vents and the color of the gun-pod.

    I figured that Bandai maybe overdid it with the tolerances on the metal shoulder joints. The way you have to rotate the arms to get them in their Fighter-Mode position you probably cause some force inside of the metal shoulder block and thus in the black triangles. The strength of this force depends on how stiff the rotation joint of the shoulder is and how tight the tolerances of the pieces are. I think it might be the sum of a stiff arm rotation joint, bad plastic and a metal shoulder block that is a tad too big that causes them to break. These are also points where Bandai could have changed something between the Alto release and the CF. The fact that you have to rotate the wings at this joint 270 degrees every time you transform it doesn't help. Of course this could all be a pillow dream. However I want a VF-171EX Alto Custom badly now.

    I'm aware of this options but none of them is viable for me. Thanks for the response. I will check out the Higan emulator and the USB controllers because I want to try out the fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3. since this was never released outside of Japan and I don't know how to feel about those Secret of Mana 2 cartridges.

    I prefer playing on my SNES over a emulator any day. The emulators I use never feel right when playing. Maybe because I'm sitting to close to the screen. I also like the feeling of popping cartridges in and out of the console and that I can switch the console on and start playing so I don't have to wait for something to boot. I would love to have an original NES. Not this one but an original gray box. Is there an emulator that I should check out to change my opinion?
