  1. They always declared the proper value as long as I'm ordering from them. I think the problem is if you are a larger company it is more likely that such things get caught... ... of course this comes full circle when your company is too big to fail. Then you can do what ever you like without any backlash.
  2. Nope HLJ is a law-abiding company and will declare the proper value on every package they send away. They are a company too huge for such shenanigans.
  3. Or just leave a massage in your account for the preorder. They won't send a confirmation but do as you told them.
  4. I missed the Quarter. Bandai will never do a Renewal of that one.
  5. The head base plate on my YF-29 is much harder to slide into place for Battroid-Mode than on any of my VF-25 except Ozmas ride.
  6. Hope they do a Cliffjumper re-mold. The mold looks cool and I rather have it in red.
  7. It's the same finish than the rest of the toy.
  8. I noticed the matte finish also. I figured they maybe showed a hand painted prototype.
  9. I think the UT Predaking fits best into a Classics collection. From what I've seen they catch the aesthetic pretty well. However they have to many features I don't like.
  10. So I saw a review for G2 Sideswipe and the red plastic is this terrible not quite opaque plastic I didn't liked on my Bluestreak. Does anyone know if the Masterpiece Grimlock has the same type of plastic in his hips?
  11. This one? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36536&p=1100277
  12. I'm not a fan of the Tornado Parts in Gerwalk- and Battroid-Mode. But in Fighter-Mode it looks awesome. I think the most glaring flaw are the engine nacelles on the wing tips. They are just too big and bulky. In general the add-on sets are very large and bulky. The guns on the back are too long, the tail too, also the wings are two thick. For me the design on the Tornado Parts does not match the design of the underlying Valkyrie. However I never had a V1 Tornado Messiah so my verdict may change after I have the set in hand. That said I love the way the VF-25 with Tornado Parts looks in Fighter-Mode so I have to get one set.
  13. I can't understand why someone would not want more of the blue color on the VF-25G. I absolutely adore the hue of the blue color on this Valkyrie.
  14. That looks really cool. Cool as ice.... ...so I finished building and panel lining my RG Destiny Gundam and almost finished sticker it up. The wings are still missing their white markings. Some if the stickers are pretty good but some of them are just stupid like the sliver ones for the inside of the yellow bits on the gauntlets of the Destiny or the red triangles on the backpack weapons. I think I will be finished tomorrow so I can clear coat him next week.
  15. I love the armored VF-25 look because it looks like a ship from an arcade shooter. The only thing it is missing is a Force unit. However I like most of the VF-25 variants. This is the reason why I have that many of them. The only thing that looks weird is the Tornado Messiah in any other mode than Fighter. However Michaels' ride with the Tornado Parts in Fighter-Mode looks awesome.
  16. Well I can imagine what if feels like to have one in hand but it has a different cockpit transformation so that will be nice to go through some different motions transforming it. I'm really interested to know if there will be some add-on sets for this one.
  17. The Tornado Parts for the V1 VF-25G where released only bundled with a Valkyrie and the Powered Weapon Set. So it is a good thing that we will get all the stuff in one box.
  18. Can anyone spot some differences between this and the V1s? I never owned any of the V1 Messiahs so I can't tell.
  19. Thanks man. So my other question would be how to disassemble the Gundam for clear coating. Do the joints still work if I coat them? My plan was to disassemble to Gundam in subsections like the legs and the arms etc. (just like the manual says to built it) and coat them on their on.
  20. I think it needs some YF-21 style panels on the bottom that fold onto the legs.
  21. It got a new head (or rather a new hat?)
