    Hmmm.. the Valk in the foreground certainly looks like a 19, you can just make out the forward canards and the long curved spine section is also visible. But the vertical stabilizers root much further outward and also angle inwards.. Even if this was the case and its a modded or alternate version of the 19 (bespoke to a certain colony fleet) im not so sure I like those design changes.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Its a tricky one cos it even has lines that resemble a 30.. as seen from a similar angle in the photo below.. Photo is courtesy of No3ljm. Again the vertical stabilizers angle is different and the wings do look like they point in a forward direction.. could be an optical illusion though.. The plane or what ever it is in the background does kinda resemble a 27 but what looks like one of the wings outer section where the engine should be mounted is missing the exhaust nozzle..? To the left of the picture you can sorta make out a cockpit canopy but the image is just too blurred to see exactly. Heck it could be anything!?

    hehe! free gifts with stuff I have bought from China & Hong Kong have been plastic tooth pics, a miniature packet of playing cards which weren't even a full set, a set of plastic valve caps (this was a motorcycle related purchase), something that resembled a tassel and the most popular free bonus gift items are pens! some of which don't even work! There have been many other bits & pieces but yeah mostly all completely useless stuff..

    My replacement Nora! Listed as a "A" rated item but was in perfect MISB condition!

    I partially dismantled my original Nora to get the fan blade inserts out and from what I could see the leg hip joints wouldn't be very easy to repair or replace. The molding design looks pretty poor from the factory. There is absolutely no way that old Nora would be able to stand on its own legs unassisted..

    Thanks! but not quite yet.. still haven't received my VF-11C as yet.. in fact the seller still hasn't even shipped it. If he doesn't send me shipping notification today as he said he would then I'll email him again.

    Mixing it up from time to time is a great idea! Have all VF-0 on deck for a while then swap them out for a VF-1 theme (or other) for the next while!
  8. spanner
    yes it would!
  9. spanner
    would you keep the sides open or have it all sealed? keep dust and fingers off.. or even accidental bump or knock damage. man the coolness of this idea is just off the charts!

    my replacement Nora SV-51 arrived today so I had to tip home during lunch for a quick play! I was itching to see this one being a "A" rated Jungle item but to be honest in my eyes it deserves a "sealed" rating! Ok the box has a few teeny weeny little scuffs here n there but still looks perfect! The Valkyrie itself is MINT! Its never been opened, completely untouched! Absolutely MISB! Even the clear tape on all four sides all of the inner tray are unbroken! And at 21K it was an absolute bargain!! Im so happy! Its been a slow morning and work was wrecking my head but this has made my day! Man I love this hobby! unbroken tape.. so new & clean! Just gorgeous!

    Well as far as i see the affordability side of it, there are a few internal organs (doubles in particular) that we really don't need or could comfortably live without.. so in saying that there are always funding possibilities!

    hahahahaha!!! you crack me up David! well its a start and you should still be proud! hehe! no kidding!
  16. spanner
    you know what.. when it comes down to it I really don't care what it is as long as they just keep releasing purchase-worthy stuff and help keep my hobby alive!
  17. spanner
    Yes this is true, although someone did originally come up with the word and it would be interesting to see how they intended it be pronounced. But yeah im easy!
  18. spanner
    ok last time.. from what I can gather from the wise & infinite knowledge that is the internets.. its pronounced Moss-pee-da. im done.
  19. spanner
    hehe! I don't! I just paid ridiculous money for a 11C! ok maybe if they do one of the twin seat D variants perhaps.. dream dream dreeeaaammm!
  20. spanner
    hehe! yes you're right! oh wait.. you could be wrong.. But yeah I do like how Mos(u) pee ahh dah rolls off the tongue! ok so back to topic..
  21. spanner
    The flight deck and or coffee table idea are friggin awesome! I wish i had room for it! and more Valks to display on it! Crazy mad jealous of Kickers pic! Lucky pr@#$!

    Ranka in a wedding dress! That's my dream situation! Or maybe I should just keep my thoughts in my head.. @Noel.. yeah it can seem a bit weird adult men buying figurines of female anime characters but they are mostly innocent enough looking figures ( with the exception of a few especially scantily clad Sheryl figures which even i have shied away from). I have had many mixed opinions about my own anime figure collection. And I'll admit since i packed them all away in favor of making more room for my Valkyrie's i kinda feel better about it. Don't get me wrong as i dearly love my figure collection but im happy to not get any reaction about them at all now whether it be good or bad. And even if they don't go on display I'll probably still but these new ones anyway!
  23. spanner
    Just a quick but silly question.. how does one correctly pronounce "Mospeada" ? Mos pay dah Or Mos pee ahh dah Or other.. This has bugged me for many years..
  24. spanner
    1 & 2.. Yes, buying two Zero-S and one of the reactive armor. And possibly another Zero-A.. Am I happy with the price? Yes and no. No as the quality to price ratio hasn't really changed since the first release. Yes they have fixed a lot of things but it got a lot more expensive. But then other things haven't been fixed so well or not at all. At the end of the day there isn't much you can do about the price other than not pay it. But those like myself who want these things so badly will pay what they ask because it's an addiction we must fix. And waiting for them to pop up on the 2nd hand market isn't really an option either as the prices won't differ much if at all. Especially if they follow the pricing trend of almost every other Valkyrie toy. And those who paid the high asking price aren't going to be willing to let them go at a significant loss unless they are broken or defective but then who is going to want to but it like that? Happy with the direction Arcadia is going? Well all I'm going to say is I'm happy we're getting anything at all from them! Then back to the question about pricing.. After Yamato died there could have potentially been darkness. So yes I'm happy with the pricing! Just keep releasing more Valks Arcadia!
