    Man I wish Bandai would just do an update of all the older Kits and remove those stupid poseable finger hands from all their kits. So happy the current MG's all have solid hands

    Kinda blegh about the AV-98+. The flat and sharply angled shoulders clash with the classic ingram curves and if they were gonna do away with the two left antennae by making them into a single fin they might as well just have mimicked the Peacemaker / X0 symettrical fin design. The sharp angular panel lines on the inner calves weren't needed and look out of place. While the more sporty angular waist armor looks cool they need to add the black police line in the middle like on the original. Instead of making updates to a classic and perfected design I would rather they went with the AV-2 Variant or a completely new labor outright.

    ooh snap there goes a chunk out of my 2025 toy budget. Might have to buy a 2nd eta and then use the 1st release one I have for the tread.

    With the YF-19 fast packs coming in 1/48 I REALLY really really really really really really want that YF-21 in 1/48. Plus they can recycle the molds for the VF-22 *huffs hopium*

    Got my 1000 Toys Halo Reach Noble 6 and proceeded to 3d print and paint a knife, magnum and nade for him since the figure only came with a rifle.

    and all 8 of them are probably just sitting in peoples' Backlogs / closets, never to see the light of day XD

    This one can't be worse than Rings of Power and I like the premise. Also with Peter Jackson involved that's a big step up

    was packing my stuff up for a move to a bigger condo and and had to stop to admire the awesome boxart again

    Oooh nice. That basically makes it on par with buying a regular release at retail locally

    It's granted it's usually always cheaper to get the real exchange rate and import from Japan. However, in the US at least the other 1/100's are retailing in the $50-60 range at most online shops and the real kicker from P-bandai is the shipping cost that's always 10 bucks when almost all other online stores have free shipping incentives for orders over a threshold. If gamlin at least comes with waterslide decals off the bat like many 1/100 P-bandai gundam kits I won't feel as bad.
  11. Duymon
    Considering Gamlin was P-bandai and was the first mold of the VF-22 I'm just going to assume M&M's also gonna be P-Bandai

    lol I just got the same copy paste. I think maybe Bandai will realize they dun goofed And as for timelines as long as I get my replacement parts I'm fine. At least I don't habe to go through a 3rd party to get in touch with Bandai like we have to for SDFM and DYRL stuff

    That sounds like a lot of fun /s I'm still kinda miffed Bandai didn't add Detents like Yamato did over 20 years ago

    I guess this isn't super popular as it can still be bought from places like HLJ https://www.hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vf-19-kai-fire-valkyrie-banc660855

    2nd copy arrived from USA Gundam Store. Straight headlaser and no broken canopy which was a relief.
  16. Duymon
    After transforming it to battroid is there something I missed because the ankles don't lock in at all and can still rotate freely. Though they're rachet joints I don't think I can trust them to keep the figure standing long term. Maybe I should just keep it on the stand permanently? O_o On a side note I reached out to Kappa Hobby and they directed me to https://www.bandai.com/returns-replacements so I made the request for a replacement canopy and headlaser. *Link is only good for USA YF-21's that have the Bamco warning label like below

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Duymon replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Yeah the fins are solid unlike the full set, though I don't understand why they were ever changed in the first place I preferred the color matched base from the vf-19 advanced. I just picked up a copy for battroid. was kinda surprised they included yang but didn't also give us the part to fill in the backseat 😕
  18. Duymon
    The battroid canopy uses the same brittle plastic but I decided to sacrifice it and started removing the paint. comes off super ez with IPA imagine paying 300 bucks to avoid masking a canopy only to do it anyways cuz Bandai 🤡🤡🤡
  19. Duymon
    @$$#$@?$!#?$?@ I iust realized my yf-21 is missing a chunk out of the fighter canopy It's clearly missing the other side that should also have a tab

    Sadly I had planned for this. Imagine having to do work on a 300 dollar toy if there was a hasegawa 1/48 yf-21 fighter I would rather have gotten that Removed Antenna Did several passes of heat gun followed by quickly clamping with a non-textured plastic clamp It's not 100% but at least it passes the shelf-check and stress mark is gone (but the stress mark to my heart will never fade)
  22. Duymon
    A lot +1 got mine today from Kappa Hobby. (-_-)
  23. Duymon
    The instructions were pretty clear but the head is on pretty tight. The other issue is the antennae interferes with getting the valk on the fighter stand unless you angle it just right so it's easy to get pressure on it from either you or the stand if it's not in the right place :0 Bandai shuolda just made it a solid ABS peg unglued so it could turn freely
  24. Duymon
    I also broke mine when I was turning the head. Luckily some drilling with a 1mm bit on a pin vise and a paperclip and krazy glue later it's stronger than factory XD
  25. Duymon
    Also the fact that I bought many of my Yamato V2's back during the $60 fire sale days of late Yamato XD
