    I wonder if I should buy one. I'm not too keen on the color combination but I have an add-on set for the regular F91 so I could display the blue one straight out of the box and the white one with the add-on set. Oh, and Charles reviewed the Metal Build Arbalest:

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    The answer is yes. Same goes for the black and red chest stripes that are also reversed on the Bandai version. It seems like Bandai forgot that the colors are reversed on the VF-19Advanced. However this is something that could be easily fixed so maybe this will change till release of the YF-19. Wouldn't get my hopes up though.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Well that depends how you interpret the rules. The DX Chogokin Valkyries are actually non-scale but it is roughly 1/60. The VF-19Advance is close to 1/66 scale in Battroid-Mode while the old Yamato is 1/61 scale (see http://anymoon.com for reference). And technically Arcadia is a different company than Yamato that also released a YF-19 so I would say there are three companies that made a YF-19 with roughly the same size. At least in Fighter-Mode: Source: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=8151

    Man that sucks, I need to get to work on Friday so I was hoping it was all opened for preorder at 4 PM.

    I hope they do a Skygrasper so I can utilize the jet as a stand for one add-on set. The other one could go an a small support stand on the base plate of the Aile Strike

    Did they fixed the wing root peg issue in Fast Pack configuration or is the peg still photoshopped out?

    No giant Armor Schneider? Bunmer.

    I figured that the gray is meant to mimic the gray intakes on G1 Thundercracker.

    They are. I just wished our desires alligned more. Like Mega Man X Robot Mastert.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Yeah but my brain can't process two parallel preorders. It is just like sitting in two meetings at the same time. Nothing of worth comes from that.
  11. Scyla
    That looks so good. I don't have a place for it in my collection though so I have to pass.... ...well maybe as a one off piece like my SoC Gunbuster? Sentinel is a weird company to me. They seem to release just what they want. Even if it's a niche piece and even if it rots in the bargain bin. I gt the feeling they are owned by a super wealthy guy that just wants to make the toys he wants to have in his collection.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Or use this handy timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180427T16&p0=248&msg=Aile+Strike+%26+YF-19+preorder&font=sanserif The Metal Build Aile Strike will be my top priority but if the YF-19 is still available and they show images of the arm weapon up-front I will try to secure one as well. If they do a YF-21 I hope they do the one from Macross Delta first. Hopefully after they released the rest of the Delta Valkyries and a DX Chogokin Elysion.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Scyla replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Opened my VF-31A up and I have to say getting the glue residues of the box and the plastic tray was a nightmare. In fighter mode I can spot two small QC issues. One is a bit of paint rub on the white stripe of the tail fins and a scuff in the gray plastic of the delta wing. None of the reported etched patterns on the wings. Wasn't able to transform my Kairos yet so I don't know if something is wrong with Battroid-Mode or the drone charger. Love the missile bays in the legs and wish it came with a different weapon pod. Love that the modex numbers are printed on and not stickers. Same goes for the Hemera writing. Overall it is a beautiful looking bird and I hope all that holding out for their NY orders gonna get one soon. I could probably justify Arads VF-31A in my collection as a counterpoint to the colorful Delta Flight. However I want Chucks Valkyrie and the SV-262Ba first.

    I wonder if Fexthobby would be interested in offering some better articulated hands for Bandais VF-31 Siegfried toys. I would probably buy all the sets. I wonder how much the 1/60 version would cost. I'm looking forward to a review of the HMR version to see if a 1/60 version is worth it. If Fexthobby is indeed FansHobby I think we can expect a solid toy. I have FansHobbys Archenemy which is not the best 3rd party Masterpiece toy ever released but at least he is sturdy and has crisp paint apps which gives me high hopes for that add-on armor.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Scyla replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Received my package from NY and it is indeed a VF-31A without the brown shipper box. Haven't had a chance to open it up and check for QC defects yet.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Isn‘t this the exact same mold as the VF-19Advance with some minor changes?
  20. Scyla
    My Kuro Kara Kuri (hard to shorten to only the first three letters) Drift arrived from PSX. Superb packaging. The box was packed in a thick plastic bag with hard plastic corner protection and padded out with fitted foam packaging. So the box arrived in pristine condition. I don't have time to open it up today so it has to wait for the weekend. Maybe I can do some comparison pictures with classics Drift, MMCs Ater Beta and this one. After a first peak in the box I'm a bit surprised. He is bigger than expected and the box is super heavy. Looking forward opening him.

    figma Reaper up for preorder: https://hlj.com/product/gsc90535 I hope they do Mercy next going with the female (Tracer), male (Genji), female (Widowmaker), male (Reaper) pattern.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Scyla replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I would be interrested in a VF-19A Ravens repaint. With the Arcadia YF-19 and the Bandai VF-19Advance I think I‘m satisfied with tan colored Valkyries in my collection. [edit:] I just remembered that this probably comes with a transformable arm weapon so maybe I do need this.... also the arsenal of weapons might be handy for my other DX Valkyries.... decisions decisions
  23. Scyla
    The site is legit. I bought tons of stuff from them. Customer support is also very responsive and helpful. They also provided me with free replacement parts but this is probably for 3rd party Transformers only given their close relationship with MMC. [edit:] I also ordered the Flame Toys Drift from them which arrived today in pristine condition at least box wise.

    Are there any predictions if the price of the GFFMC Wing Gundam Custom will go down on the secondary market if the 3rd batch will be released in May?
