  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Can anyone spot some differences between this and the V1s? I never owned any of the V1 Messiahs so I can't tell.
  8. 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.
  9. I think it needs some YF-21 style panels on the bottom that fold onto the legs.
  10. It got a new head (or rather a new hat?)
  11. Finally! I will get the Michael set and my Skull Squadron will be complete. Hm so what to do with my VF-25G Super Parts.... they look great so maybe I will play dress-up once and a while.
  12. I also got mine from hlj at a discount. So they are ok desk candy for the price I paid. However I'm still disappointed compared to other toy lines that have the same price range and/or design behind them. Mainly talking about Figmas, Robot Damashii, S.H.Figuarts or some of the Transformers stuff.
  13. Well the reason I choose the RG is that it is similar in the built to the MG and it was cheap so I figured why not. Thanks for the advice with the stickers. Maybe I will post some pictures of the RG when I'm finished.
  14. I'm also tempted but I came to the conclusion that it would be to difficult to trim the stickers so that they look good. Maybe I will try it with the waterslide decals from my Arcadia VF-1 but then I have to get a decal setter/softener and to clear coat the tail fins so that they look again.... ... so maybe not.
  15. I have the three M+ Valkyries and I don't really like them. My YF-21 is missing a second yellow coat for the marking on the head cowl so it looks like it has a greenish marking. Every time I try to pose the toys I'm disappointed that the range of movement and the joints are that limited. I also question the gimmick that you can interchange the parts of the different Valks. The parts always split apart during handling. I really like Bandais Robot Damashii toys they are fun to play with. The GNU-DOs not so much. I won't be opposed to a reboot of the line because implemented correctly they could be great but I just can't see them to that any time soon.
  16. So I'm building my first Gunpla set the RG Destiny Gundam. Unfortunately I forgot to order the brown panel lining pen so the gray one has to suffice. However I have a few questions. I want to clear coat it. Do I put the stickers on before or after the clear coat? I have the MG Nu Gundam in the backlog. The RG is more or less a training dummy so I don't screw up the MG completely. The Nu Gundam has water transfer decals. When do I put does on. Before the clear coat, after or in between? Thanks in advance.
  17. Phew now I'm glad that I didn't order this release because this face is ridiculous. I'm much happier with the regular Lambor.
  18. The reason why I love the UCS Millennium Falcon is that he is in scale with the Minifigs. I also like that it is built mostly out of "standard" Lego Bricks. I don't like some of the newer sets that consists mostly out of bricks that are cast into shape specific for this set. The UCS Millennium Falcon is some sort of a holy grail for me because the after market prices are ridiculous. The only thing I would dig more than the Falcon would be a Ebon Hawk that is in scale with the Minifigs. With a figure that looks like my hero from the KotoR.
  19. Delicious sweets? He is probably talking about the two Max&Miria VF-1J that appear in SDF:M.
  20. I know but I would like to have a Skywarp based on the MP-11 Mold for robot-mode. I have the MP-6 Skywarp and he stays in alt-mode all the time because of hip kibble.
