who did you cancel it with? I want to order a second one!

so do we know which VF-31 variant will be next? Im hoping Mirages!

HLJ.

What are the two valks you picked up?

19 Advance off ebay and v2 Elintseeker off the FST forum.

I ended up cancelling my 31J. I just picked up two valks today, both of which i'd rather have over the 31J any day of the week. Spending too much money lately on this stuff, had to put a stop to it somewhere and the 31J didn't make the cut. I can always get one of the others later I guess.

PM'd

Man, this thing looks like it will be impossible to display in battroid without a stand

Did you mean v1 on that armored valk? because that's a v1 box.

i mean, it is a really crappy toy that no one wants thanks to a decade and a half of yamato and arcadia and bandai releases, but i figured it was worth 5 bucks. And it never got above 3.25!

$3.25 on ebay!

Just got a DX Chogokin VF-25A in. Second DX Chogokin after that surprise yf-29/yf-30 shipment at HLJ the other week.

I really love these. Way more than the yamato/arcadia toys. Was only about 11k yen or so at Jungle.

What is the shipping generally via EMS on a v2 valk from Jungle? Trying to figure out how much I should be looking at...they have several things I want at good prices.

Edit: Eh, ended up taking the plunge on a vf-25a. only 11000-ish yen. DIdn't want to pass that up.

JUNGLE seems pretty awesome.

rant: ebay sellers who put up auctions with a bin, and then a reserve price that is equal to the bin. there's a vf-25 renewal up on the bay right now that I have high-bidded all the way up to a shade under the BIN, and it STILL hasn't hit the reserve price. What a waste of time. If you want to sell something for 220, then just put a BIN on there and call it a day instead of wasting bidder's time (and yours, as it would have no doubt sold faster had all us bidders not sat here and checked day after day, hoping to finally get it up over the reserve). What a jerk. I hope that seller isn't a MWer.

non vf-1 valks probably dont sell as well. i think that if they do stray away from vf-1's, it'll be to the yf-19 and -21

positive for Jenius. Just received a CF v2 from him that looks brand new except for the shoulder, of course

I have a lot of experience with these stands. for something heavy like the Super valks (or ZZ Robot Damashiis, etc etc) you have to get the extension arm in JUST THE RIGHT position to balance all the weight, otherwise it will collapse. Also, those extension tubes stress REALLY easy where they connect to the pegs and crack. When that happens they get loose on the peg and are completely useless. I had a RD Sinanju take a shelf-dive because of that.

Finally put my max up on a stand (not using that ridiculous packed-in stand)

i would just leave it. Any attempt to remove it will likely end up blemishing the area around it.

Despite my continued irritability with these little VF-1's, as cool as they are, I'm still all in on the various Destroids, Battle Armor and other Mecha and the 2SS though I imagine that may be as fiddly as the VF-1's. They look good once you sort that out.

Does anybody have a loose right head cannon? I had to nail polish the thing because it was impossible to fit the legs down for Gerwalk/Fighter without bumping that bloody little thing off.

Yeah, both pop off on mine as well. Sigh

thanks!

yes!! Arcadia definitely should re-issue more VF-1 Valks! there are a few I wouldn't mind having more of as trying to find original Yamato versions which are either rare and or super expensive..

we found the tank & the girls on Mandarake actually! they had several sets available at the time!

that is the Panzer IV tank from the Girls und Panzer movie which is a modification of the tank from the series, with a bigger cannon, side armor and a new paint job!

GuP is the best. The movie is hitting theatres here in the US now (though dub only)

The armored version has a grey visor.

I just opened the hi metal r Hikaru 1J. Looks like QC issues rearing their ugly heads. My tail fins won't deploy flush like the CF does - i can see a gap between the base of the fin and the backpack on both, and some gaps on top of the fighter mode where the chest and backplate come together that are more prounounced than on the CF. I like the canopy, though i do wish a clear one was packed in as well

once again, i waited too long on a vf-22

I've waited long enough.. I put my order in for one!

Too bad shipping is like a million dollars.

I hate all of yamato/arcadia's boxart. Just throw some Tenjin art on the box and call it a day. Much better than the abominations like the arcadia focker box

milia is a bandai web exclusive, only certain stores are doing it. I don't know if mykombini is one of them. I know Nippon-Yasan is, though.

I wish i could bring myself to just destroy all toy packaging I cannot stand how much room they take up.

But I just cant make myself do it.
