Decent priced Max on Ebay: $105 USD shipped

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HI-METAL-R-VF-1J-Super-Valkyrie-Maximilian-Jenius-Custom-Bandai-Japan-NEW-S-/272445767376?hash=item3f6f087ed0:g:TboAAOSwo4pYJv36

MyKombini doesn't have the time to ship my Max but they DO have time to list them on ebay, however.

Just got one. I was kicking myself earlier for initially passing. Thanks for the heads up guys!

still no notice from mykombini, hopefully soon. can't wait to get my hands on Miriya in a few months!

snagged another Max from HLJ. I have a mykombini preordered, but I think i will be able to dump it on ebay for what i paid for it with shipping and recoup my money. HLJ is way cheaper.

Edit: looks like i got the last one. back on Order Stop now

Holy crap what a frustrating transformation. Im never taking this out of fighter mode again.

Btw, once you received yours let us know if the head lasers are bended too.

Just got my yf-29b this morning. Head lasers are fairly straight. there is a slight bend in one but nothing bad. Wow, this thing is awesome. It feels so good, so solid, so much nicer than the Arcadia valkyries.

Pic incoming

Im pissed I missed out on the Chronos. I really like its fighter mode.

My -29b will be arriving on Wed.

Will do.

Those headlasers look mostly blue, with some black trim? A reverse wash will fix that right up on the shapeways ones. Hopefully the packaged lasers aren't too bad to remove

kurisama's shapeways store has some solid replacement head lasers.

So I'm debating whether to get this or not. I like the color of this YF-29 but I just don't know if it's worth getting if I already have the YF-29 Focker and Yf-29 Ozma figures.

Anyone have suggestions to help me with my dilemma? >.<

"It's only money"

Back in stock. Snagged one.

yf-29b is in stock as well, this is weird

Edit: purchased the yf-29b. 163 USD. No-brainer.

Man, i want these bad but i can't justify it. got funds earmarked for other valks :<

Are we looking at the same item? Because I can't find this for around $160 shipped from Amazon . Please tell if so , it will save me the temptation from getting it from N-Y.

EDIT: oh wait, you are right. that's the FINAL BATTLE version. The one on amazon isn't!

that GFFMC Unicorn, after shipping, is about the same price as amazon. no reason to buy it from N-Y.

any yellowing at all on those valks?

If you all have questions, feel free to message me on twitter @VF5SS as I don't post here much anymore.

Will do, thanks!

how easy is it to remove that panel lining?

That is a good first attempt the image is clear. If I can make a suggestion, adjust your white balance that way the white background doesn't appear pinkish. What kind of lighting are you using?

shitty lighting. The lightbox filter material i chose blocks too much light, and ive got the wrong color bulbs in there. I thought i grabbed daylight bulbs at the store, but turns out they are regular ol warm LEDs.

I adjusted the WB a bit, i think this is better. Although still not quite right

so this is my first attempt at doing anything with a dslr. I have no idea what im doing beyond a beginning understanding of aperture, iso, and shutterspeed.

Another positive for Duymon. One of the v2's had the tiny clear part on the inside of the right wing go missing during shipping, so he found me a replacement and shipped it out pronto!

*Watches with interest*

My new 1S from Duymon has a slight crack. I know I'll have to replace them soon, but I want to get a couple other prints lined up first, to save on shipping...

ah, you were the guy that bought the one valkyrie that I didn't buy (since i've just recently acquired a roy from Arcadia) lol.

Both of mine from duy were cracked but he told us they would very likely be.

If I were you i'd just go ahead and buy whatever it is you think you might need if you want to get that thing fixed soon. The pieces from shapeway all ship in a big ass box, no matter if your parts are just in a tiny baggie like mine were.

So i started my v2 rainbow canopy surgeries today to give them all new shoulders.......before, i had a couple of 1/48s and v1s that i bought back in the very early 00s and hadn't really messed around with them for years until i went on my recent spree.

Man, Yamato was really a crap-ass company, weren't they? All these issues, all these fixes, all of this need for CAD capable folks and 3D Printers for homebrew repairs.....I feel like Yamato got way more love than they ever should have.
