    hehe! no one to back NY up! I guess everyone must feel the same about them..
  4. Yeah just saw that email from NY stating the release has been brought forward a couple weeks. Gotta pay the pre-order by next week..

    that's the very same reply I got.. I assume they still haven't sent out your item yet?
  6. yeah cos I have to keep the knee joints in the fully retracted position or else it won't fit in the display cabinet as the shelf heights are so low..
  7. This happened.. Had wanted the red version for ages until I stumbled on the blue over the weekend. Looks just as nice I reckon! And is cheaper than the red too!

    they do but when you can't buy or pre-order something from anywhere else but NY then you're stuck using them or waiting till someone else gets it..

    Hasn't yours been posted either? you get yours from NY also? Took me a few emails to NY before they pulled their finger out.. They're a bit slack.
  10. congrats! some people are a little hesitant when it comes to pulling the trigger on these but once you have one you definitely want more!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    hehe! 23k not tooooo bad but nahh no 5th 31J for me.. Just spent Valkyrie money (+ more) on a super rare Kyosho 1:18 Lamborghini Miura so my collectibles budget has been busted for the moment..
  14. LOL! @ Alien Valkyrie! That's brilliant!

    hehe! Can't say I was losing sleep but it was certainly annoying the crap outta me that they were taking their time getting them out.. in two emails to NY I causally asked what the reason for the delay was but they didn't give me any in their replies, just shallow meaningless apologies. So I kinda get the idea that the real reason is that they are just dick heads. Pardon my French. Oh well..

    Bandai DX VF-31

    just for the curiosity sake of it, is there any way of finding out Bandai's production run quantities of these things?
  17. Something a little different.. Dick Johnson's Bathurst 1000 qualifying lap crash in 1983. my family and I were there that year for the top ten shootout and we saw the car after it was returned to the pit area. What a mess! This car was friggin awesome! it had such a powerful track presence! The monster of the grid! Such a shame it ended up being destroyed. Miraculously Dick still competed the race in a similar car purchased from another team and hastily repainted overnight to the same color scheme and fitted with his own engine. Lining up on the grid with the fresh paint on the car still wet! But his race was plagued with troubles and Dick described the of the car as "handles like a pig"! He retired only a few hours into the race. A year he would dearly like to forget.
