Saburo

I got my shipping notice from NY. I was starting to get worried since I didn't get the preparation notice.

Same here, I first thought it was a shipping notice for something else... then was mildly disappointed it was the Isamu super parts.

I just got my shipping notice too

Nice! Now I don't have ship it to your house. LOL

Weird, all I got was the preparation e-mail earlier lol.

I didn't get a preparation email, just a shipping notice.

TCracker,

Very nice! I couldn't help but stare at the Ozma 29 for a bit and seeing the Alto 171 makes me want to get one.

Keep posting pics. (especially the Ozma 29)

w00T! That means more awesome pictures.

Kaneda I posted too soon... turns out it was the shipping notice for the Isamu super parts and not the Ozma 29.

I will take pics of the super parts on the Isamu 29.

I edited my original post.

10:00pm PST update:

- recieved my shipping confirmation and tracking number for Ozma 29 from NY. I hope everyone waiting gets their confirmation soon.

Got my shipping notice for my super parts from NY.

Still nothing from NY in regards to the Ozma 29, but I did get my shipping notice for the Isamu super parts...

ok, I'm stopping at three YF-29s.

Collection looks great Funky!

You can send it to my house Saburo

HA! Thanks for the offer, but more than likely it will be lost in the room of Macross stuff never to be found again.

I checked status of them on NY and their page says estimated release date of 5/31/214. I am guessing that's the date they will get them in stock? If that's the case I'll hopefully have them when I get back from vacation.

Saburo why do your photos look so beautiful everytime!!! I love the shots on the reflective ground.

Thank you for the compliment close313, I am glad people like my photos it drives me to improve my photography. I'll keep posting, but if you want to see more check out my flickr page. I am waiting for my Ozma 29 to take pics of it.

I photoshopped the leg armors and changed Ozma yellow to red. Hope it's ok, saburo. This combo is what I'm planning to do just in case Bandai reissue Ozma's 25S.

Yeah, that cool with me. The color scheme look great!

I'm considering repainting the stand like the rest of my Chogokin Frontier stands. Any suggestions on what color to paint the SMS?

I could always go with the standard yellow, but I'm open to ideas.

Make it a low viz stand, paint the SMS a dark grey.

Love it! Thanks saburo! Your photos are spectacular.

I kinda like how the overall look of the color grey. I know there's not enough contrast to it but I really like it. Now I'm really decided. The only sad part is... VF-25S Renewal is now expensive. Here's to hoping for a reissue. Make mine Bandai!

No problem and thank you.

I think the combination looks good with the S with the F armor parts. I am hoping for a reissue for the VF-25S too, come on Bandai!

Day three with no response back from N-Y about he shipping delay. I just don't see doing business with them again after this. It really burns me up that I paid in full back in February, and now they won't even respond to my question as to when they might expect to be able to fulfill the order.

I emailed them and the response I got was my order will be shipped out beginning of next week. I know this doesn't make up for the lack of response to your question by NY, I do hope you get order soon.

It kinda looks like the color of Ozma's Armor is close to the color of his 29.

Yeah, the (beautiful as always) pictures Saburo posted do give off that impression. But side-by-side not so much, the Ozma 25S Armor Parts are like a dark blue/green tint vs. the dark grey/charcoal of the Ozma 29.

Kaneda thank you for the compliment.

Mommar, I agree with Kaneda Ozma's Armor parts are more a dark blue with a slight tinge green/grey.

Oh cool! Thanks so much saburo. I'll look forward for your picture tonight. It will help me decide what to BUY next. Hehehe.

no3ljm here you go. Sorry I didn't swap the leg armor parts. Hope that is ok.

Thanks saburo! From the looks of it, Alto's side armor skirts kinda have the same grey color of Ozma's valk. I assumed that if we ever use Alto's armored parts to Ozma basically it will be too much grey overall. Hmmm. What do you think? Do you think it will look ok? Or is it going to be too grey?

Again, thanks for the photo.

Yes, the armor skirts are the same color of grey between the both of them. When I get home I can swap armors on the Ozma and take a quick pic of the Ozma with the Alto Armor parts for you.

Here's 2 more photos you can compare with.

Does anyone have clear photo of Alto's and Ozma's Armored Valks Renewal together? Side-by-side? I just want to know how close the overall grey colors on Alto's Armored Parts to Ozma's grey Valk? Is the light grey part of Alto's Armor close enough for Ozma's grey? Would the dark grey part of Alto's Armor parts will give enough contrast to Ozma's grey Valk? I know Ozma's Armored Pack has darker shades of grey on most parts. Just want to check if Alto's Armored Parts would look ok with Ozma's.

Btw, I tried checking online for photos but I can't guarantee if it's accurate in person. So would someone here who have both Valks with Armored Parts to please check, even if it's just an estimate, if Alto's Armored Parts would look ok with Ozma's

Thanks a bunch.

Will this work? I took this photo a while back.

I'll add some other photos when I get home.

But we can't wait for your photos.

I wonder when we'd be able to see MacrossJunkie's weathering of this plane.

Thanks.

I had some free time this weekend to take photos too. Hopefully next weekend I can block out some time, that is if NY holds true to shipping out "beginning of next week".

I am also hoping to see MacrossJunkie's weathered version.

Thanks for the pictures everyone, it makes the waiting more bearable!

Thanks Valkyrie Magnus, Falcon 18 and ZorClone! (i'll send you a pm on my setup)

I got a reply from NY, my order will be supposedly shipping out via EMS the beginning of next week.

Everybody who got the "we're sorry" notice from NY, what was your shipping method?

It was EMS for me.

I got that email this morning. I am hoping this isn't a nice way to say "You won't be getting your pre-order.".

Nice pictures Saburo! I am glad you convinced me to get it

Thanks Valkyrie Magnus! LOL, I didn;t have to try hard to convince you, I knew you'd get it. You just needed a nudge.

Awesome pics! Glad the ankles are holding up. My 19's left ankle is getting worse.

Thank you! No problem with the ankles as of yet... my YF-19 spends most of its time in fighter mode

True. Hope they do this after they decided to release those Supernova schemes.

So this drawing spec uses the VF-25A colored packs on YF-19? Thought red would look better with YF-19. So this one called VF-19EF/A ISAMU Special/VF-25A Messiah based on the Mechanic Sheet box on the upper left? So this model is not YF anymore? Curious to see what Isamu 'VF' looked like in Battroid mode.

Thanks! Love the shots! It's funny that I don't like the Gerwalk mode (before Arcadia) ever since I saw it on MPlus back in the 90's. Now, it's my favorite YF-19 mode.

No problem. Of the 3 modes, Gerwalk is in 3rd place, first being Fighter then Battroid.
