I know the feeling brother! my heart has been singing the Macross song since 1982!
-
Hmmm I dunno.. I think its a good price for a rare Valk such as it especially if its unopened! I bought mine and I know others have bought a Virgin Road for more than that. If I didn't have mine already I would have snapped this one up!

I just had a quick mess about with paintshop to dull the whites of the face masks to more of a gray color but in doing so I can see why Yamato made them a brighter color. Maybe the gray worked better in the cell but for the toy against the deep dark blues of these 19's the gray bits struggle to stand out as well as they do in white. Besides I rather like the bright white highlights! (bit a tongue twister right there lol!)

hmmm! so many delicious purchases!! I hate being broke.. -
gotta agree here! the rest on the list just look too weird for me.. One I'd chose over them which isn't on the list would be the SV-52, only cos im steadily growing to really like the SV-51 (the "a" variant in particular) but the more refined SV-52 version would be a lot nicer! Has a kinda Firefox look about it!

The vertical stabilizers design still bugs me a bit.. haven't found the best possible reference picture yet to make sure I have set them on the most correct angle / position.. Its the left wing on mine that sits slightly lower and the folding outer wing tip section doesn't quite lock in 100%.. From what I can tell the missile pod doesn't sit flush with any 30 I have seen pics of so far.. just how its designed I guess. Although I still think it could have been made to be a little smaller and the legs a little chunkier. Apart from a half dozen or so small paint chips / marks (most of them now fixed) the other thing that bugs me is the nose cone section doesn't sit up and properly flush with the forward cockpit section. I have seen others the very same but then there are others that don't seem have this problem.. maybe a small modification is required to fix this perhaps.. I also did notice inside the nose section there is what looks to be a locking mechanism of some sort which might be causing the problem? I wouldn't know what that part does as I haven't attempted a transformation yet nor looked at the user manual..

yeah its not the same for delivery here in Aus.. If I recall I think the delivery cost for 1x Klingsbo was about $60 and 2x was $110 etc etc.. (other areas or products would vary in cost of course) When I asked why it cost so much, its mostly due to the package weight of each cabinet being upwards of about 50kgs.. And I don't think we get online shopping option down here either.. sucks x sucks = crap.
-
Whaaa!? 4.5 hours each way!? Ok I'm officially not going to complain about the location of my nearest Ikea anymore! Do they offer a delivery service in the States? I once did ask about their delivery service but they wanted $110 courier fee for it.. which was for 2 cabinets but I politely declined and just drove there to pick em up..

I can see the attraction of having the both squadrons but.. the 17's are kinda icky..
-
The colors in his photos especially these here with the VF-1, are so vivid! I really want to learn how to take photos like this!
-
I feel your pain! I hate waiting for stuff.. it drives me friggin mad! I'm so impatient..
-
tell me about it!! I have 19 of em so far and there's at least another 6 types I want to get!! It's like a drug addiction!
-
They look fantastic all together in formation like that eh! I'll have mine all displayed in battroid, but I keep the 19P in fighter mode next to the Basara's Fire Valkyrie..
-

They are still very rare and there are a few for sale out there demanding much more money! So you did get it at a good price! -
