Mine arrived today! Finish quality looks quite good! Loving the paint scheme! Looks so much better in the flesh than from pics on the net. Blue paint edge on the spine isn't quite consistent but other than that no major or silly defects to report.. overall im extremely happy with it! Will see how long it takes the misses to notice another Valkyrie sitting in the collection! I can see it now.. "oh really! Another one!?"
-
have to agree with David on this one 100%!!
-
That!! Right.there.my.friends, Is one sexy mofo of a Valkyrie!! ♥ Amazing pix Saburo!! Gahhhh! I just want mine so bad!!! Stupid slow ass postage.. Geez it feels like xmas eve.. Hurry up!!
-
Its good to see some positive comments about the Prophecy! Can't wait for mine to arrive! Should land in Sydney any moment now!! And I see a few ppl buying multiples.. Gee I'd love to also but a combination of too little room to display, not cashed up enough and don't want to upset the misses means it ain't gonna happen.. But maybe I'll sneak in a second YF-30 purchase at some point! Hehe!

VS White crotch from Alto (the above photo is courtesy of Duymon) sorry Duymon, not stealing your photo or credit! oh I must say the white does looks rather nice over the blue!!
-
Well heck why not 3 of em then! one for each mode! Like my VF-1 Kakizaki's! Really liked the VF-0D in Zero so I think this one is gonna be a very special release! Might have to start a savings plan now so I can afford them all!
-
Lovely collection so far! Keep on collecting! Are you going to get any Valks from the earlier series? A few VF-19's and VF-1's mixed in there would be nice!
-
lookin good so far! Might have to get me two of these! but geez a 2015 release..
-
Have noticed that the finish quality varies somewhat with the half dozen Frontier Valks I already have.. Fingers crossed I get a good one!
-
I just got shipping notice from cdj Im looking forward to checking this thing out when it arrives! Will do a full finish quality check and post my thoughts!
-
hehe! call me weird but I still think Brera's VF-27 (DX renewal version) is the best of the Frontier Valks.. the 25's (Ozma) a close second! Not sure about the 29's though.. maybe an Isamu Dyson might happen.. pass on the 171's.. just not a fan.
-
But rather pricey.. Glad I got mine from cdj..
-
Also just bought for one from cdJpapan! I was going to wait and take my chances with hlj or amiami but I also had some points I could redeem on cdj which helped cut down the cost of shipping!! Sweeeeet!!!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Sensational looking machine isn't she! The white color really works on it and sets it apart from the others. Its gotta be my fav of the VF-19 bunch! I just don't display it with those little speaker winglet things.. -
Box art looks ok.. follows the style of the other VF-25 range.. but.. box not important, only Valkyrie important! Yeah given up looking for an available pre-order.. (at a decent price anyways) I'll just take my chances after release..
-
still open for pre orders at Toy Dojo.. http://www.toydojo.com/dx-chogokin-macross-yf-30-chronos-variable-fighter-valkyrie/
-
looks like there are still some pre-order spots still open at Nin Nin Game.. just a bit on the pricey side.. yeah pass.. http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-figures-pre-order/11250-macross-f-yf-25-prophecy-dx-chogokin-en.html

ok ok fair enough.. I didn't mind the Dinobots so much.. especially Grimlock, which I did have him and a few others for a number of years but ultimately sold it off to my cousin.. but that pretty much it. The rest are junk!
-
I never meant to upset / insult any TF fans here or start a Macross -v- Transformers argument.. trust me on this my cousin and I have plenty enough of these for me to ever want anymore of em.. I guess what xrentonx wrote here pretty much sums up what I was trying to say.. I do respect TF's for what they are and the massive fan base they have generated, larger than Macross im sure.. its just I never felt that any real effort went in to making how they work have any sense of being believable or "well hey that could actually work" look about them like the Valkyrie's do.
-
yep you guys are right.. my mistake.. correcting them now! geez I feel so stupid sometimes..
-
I would certainly hope so too but like the VF-25 range for example having multiple characters piloting the type ie Alto, Ozma, Luca, Michael etc, does the YF-30 have any additional characters to justify additional repaints? I guess cannon fodder colors and alternate prototype paints like the YF-19 Double Nuts & Bird of Prey are more likely or easier to pull off for Bandai if they chose to yes?? To apologize in advance if this has already been covered and.. I haven't played the Macross 30 game at all either so I wouldn't know any further details regarding the or any story line behind Macross 30 or the YF-30..
-
That looks sensational! I wish the VF-11B Yamato released actually looked like that.. I simply don't possess the skill or patients required for such a re-paint or build..
-
hehe! yep that's me! They are actually one of my preferred paint scheme VF-1 variants! And I can display one in each configuration! I wish I could afford to do that with more of em.. but that ain't gonna happen.. at least if I want to maintain a healthy relationship with my misses!

I have noticed a few people showing off their Ikea Detolf display cabinets so I thought I'd share mine too! Although I am using the Ikea Klingsbo display cabinets which have 5 wider and deeper shelves. My only complaint is the vertical steel framework which could have been made a little thinner and still been plenty strong enough.. But they are quite cheap and great to display some of my cars and bikes also! Im looking at buying a few more of these cabinets to display more stuff and thin out some of the Macross stuff rather than having them all cramped together.. I'd really like to spread out my VF-1 collection across two cabinets and separate the Frontier and Seven & Plus stuff the same way.

Transformers... (shudders..) awful things.. Of course no disrespects to anyone on this site who collects them its just that even after all these years you'd think they would have advanced the design so they actually look half decent in either transformation mode.. I don't think there is one particular TF that transforms as well as a VF-1 or any Valkyrie for that matter..
