I was on the fence about the missile addon but when it is deployed in fighter mode it looks quite cool. Still I would prefer a giant beam gun. If we get a DX Chogokin 1/60th toy I hope it has more details on the missile launcher then the VF-171 Super Parts. =/

But I thought eat pineapple salad is Roy's code word for having sex with Claudia. So what you are saying is... Please Arcadia settle things quickly and give a release date for the YF-19 V3
-
They want to remove them because the start to decay after some time and the tinting starts to flock out if I remember the the issue correctly.
-
So many Altos =/ I wonder why there is no VF-171EX Nightmare Plus. Could you vote for that? I really miss the SDF Macross head of the VF-1J on the DYRL? VF-1 from Hikaru.

Ramen with Kōbe beef?

With or without Spam?

The only thing missing is a red beam adapter for Gamlin. As a side question: how do you store the rounds of a Gatling-gun in such a frame?

Now that we have come so far to swap parts of our Valkyries I do have a question. Is it possible to separate the two parts of the from the codpiece of the Super and Armor Parts and switch them to create a more Anime accurate one for the Super Parts. What I mean is to take the outer piece of the Armored Parts and combine it with the insert of the Super Parts to get a Super Parts codpiece with a black outline as shown in the line-art. It's the same with the hip guards the armored one lack the markings of the Super Parts and the top has the wrong color but they would snap on more securely and would solve that issue. If this would work you don't even have to get a new Set because the Armored Parts come with two codpieces. Of course you have to buy both versions of the add-on sets. I don't want to encourage anyone to break their Valkyries but someone on the boards that has more experience with toys could look into it.

Could it be possible that they are doing a Renewal VF-27 with Super Parts but didn't had a prototype of the Valkyrie ready? So they decided to glue the Super Parts on an V1 Valkyrie. Are the VF-25 V1 in comparison to the V2 so much different that the new Super Parts would look off glued to a V1? I know I try to make something up that indicates that we get a VF-27 Renewal.
-
Yeah I know I just want to know how they are on the V1 VF-25s. So if they do Renewal Tornado Packs I don't have to post the question again. From what I've seen the Tornado Pack wing extensions are monstrous but I don't know how they handle because I passed on the V1 Valks.

I have a question regarding the YF-29 Super Parts. I don't own a YF-29 Alto Custom so I have to wait till May until I can fiddle with them. I'm transforming my Valkyries every month or so from one mode to another to get some play value out of them. . The question is if it's save to have the YF-29 in Battroid- and Gerwalk-Mode for a period of 1-2 month and displaying them on their stands? In Gerwalk the back is sacking down even with the built-in support strut so I assume that they must be stressing the joints judging from the pictures I've seen. In Battroid the pylons with the harpoons are fare away from the center of the toy so there must be some stress to. In fighter mode there seems enough support because they rest on the undercarriage of the fighter. This question is also for the old V1 VF-25 Tornado Packs but I didn't want to create two posts about the same topic. Also there is no announcement that Tornado Packs will happen for the Renewal toys. Tanks in advance.

I thought in December that the exchange rate is good enough so I can order a YF-29 30th Anniversary Edition from NY just to see it reissued a few weeks later .
-
Have you glued the tight armor in?
-
Yeah, I have the same reasoning. I mean I have a budget for my toys and if the price is right I rather secure it for the price I find reasonable. If its cheaper afterward to bad but I got the toy for what it's worth to me and if it's more expensive I actual saved some money. These are luxury articles so if their is no major shift in the currencies I can deal with the fluctuations. But as Duymon said you might watch out for the plans of the Japanese and your local government if you plan ahead for more then a few month.

So I'm not the only one with a Yum Yum diet?
-
I don't know if it was mentioned before but the VF-171 CF has indeed a re molded canopy area so that it fits the show model The canopy of the VF-171 CF is much more ingested into the fuselage then the one on the EX version. I wonder if these are the only differences.
-
I think the MSRP for these toys is reasonable. Yamato has the problem that they are not Bandai and their licenses are not as popular as Frontier so they can't produce runs in high numbers to beat don the price. And Bandai... well for some unknown reasons Bandai wont satisfy the demand for their Frontier toys so if your interested in one you pay "slightly" over MSRP and so you come closer to the prices Yamanto asks for. As I said the prices are worth it in my opinion. And at least with the Yamato Valks you can get some of them at a clearance. If you are interested in the VF-4 I would wait to acquire one. Maybe the will announce a reissue with a different color scheme mid February.
-
I know what you mean. I decided last year that I will change my collecting habits so I could get the Macross stuff that I wanted. Now I only buy TF toys for specific characters. So no MP Soundwave for me. But MP-10B will soon be mine
-
NY has them in stock the last time I checked. The Alto version might be less the $200.
-
Man, the rents must be pretty low. Were I live you have the problem the the rents (even for a small single room apartment) are more than a normal monthly salary So it could be worse I guess. Something on the topic, something on the topic.... Ah yes! a M&M scheme would be nice. I love the red hue of Milias Valkyries in the M7 show.
-
I don't know about that. I mean how many people played the game and thought: "I want one" I think the Valkyrie is widely known from FB2012 and that's the more popular color scheme. And the majority of VF-4 owners are not willing to customize a $350 toy. In addition word has spread that this is an excellent piece so people who passed on the first one will now order because they've seen it in a review and know what they are getting. So the FB2012 version might even sell better than the current one.
-
It teases me like it teases you because I don't have the toy. If the reissue the YF-19 V3 in this color scheme I will buy it even if I have sworn to myself to collect only one line of Valkyrie toys.
-
I don't know gluing is such a permanent decision. Maybe in the distend future you want to display the plain fighter and then you have to buy another... ...are you one of those collectors that have 10 VF-25S one for each mode and every triplet with no armor/super parts/armored Parts for display... ...and one MISB for storage in their Marcoss vault? If this is the case just do it and if you don't like it grab another Valkyrie from the dispenser. Joking aside I don't like permanent attaching optional parts because it was not intended (i.e. show accurate) and it reduces the play value. Maybe hark back to a non-permanent solution like earthquake putty.
-
Hm... that weathering technique sounds intriguing. I might adapt it. But on the other hand.... ...a few years ago I disassembled all my Lego models and cleaned every single brick with water before I reassembled them... ...I'm not sure I can silence the Mr. Clean voice in my head.

Thanks
