I may be in the minority, but I think Arad's VF-31S looks terrible wearing Mirage's Super Parts. The colours just don't match IMO.

You are not alone :P

But I still like seeing new pictures everytime I come to the forums...

These organizers are amazing

Wasn't Chuck's supposed to have a radome?

It would be 7/27 Friday 3 am for EST folks

Thanks a lot kind sir!
See you on the PO madness

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm really really bad at "Timezone math", when does the PO starts (in EST)?

Thanks!

Lots of people all over the World.

We should get Valk pictures with some local landmark and share them 

Arcadia CAN make a YF-21, but I think the announcement for the Premium Finish was for a toy that has already been released. So that rules out Guld's ride.

 Additional question, does the DX Valkyrie starter kit adapter work for the VF-31 series and will it also work for the YF-19 DX releasing in September? Appreciate the help!

It does work for the VF-31 and VF-25

SV-262 requires it's own adapter.

Don't know about the YF-19, they may pull something similar to the SV-262

31 legs are a bit flaky imo, they seem to spread on their own weight.

SV262 is just a pleasure to pose (once you can transform it, that is)

Interested, sending PM...

I'll even pay $220.00 for that

Do the colors stand for anything?

Also, what do you have in mind?

4 battroids, a squadron of fighters flying in formation?

So... I was about to order a couple of YetiStands to display my Arcadia/Yamato v2 1/60 scale VF-1 collection, but as I was about to checkout my shopping cart, I hesitated.  I thought to myself, "For the cost of these stands, I could buy another valkyrie..." 

ARGH!  Has anyone else here ever thought that? How do you decide?! ARGH!

It's the same principle when buying Valk Armor/Super Parts. You could buy another Valk, yes. But you buy the armor anyway, why? Because what you really want is your Valks looking cool AF.

Yeti Stands allows you to do that...

Does bandai sell the Lil Draken stands separately cause one of mine suffered a pretty nasty accident involving a chihuahua and a labrador.

FYI, those are the exact same stand that came with Lucas's RVF-25 Super Parts (Renewal). Not sure if they are the same for the Non renewal Ghost which sells for like 800 yen.

I've got the DX RVF-25 (with supers), the DX RVF-171 (with supers), and a 1/72 model RVF-25 sitting on my shelf.

I agree the RVF-25 is the worst of the Frontier paintjobs, but it's still better than a lot of the ones in Delta, and I like radar dishes.

 

[edit] Heck, I bought the Luca -25 before Ozma or Michael.

Heh, nice... same here:
1) Luca's with Super ofc (dem Ghosts)
2) Armored Ozma
3) Michael (Super parts on it's way)
4) Pending, Alto's

Dear chaps,

Thanks a lot for all the info, pictures and links (except for that "half age" that probably put me on a gov list...). Yeah those Saburo's pictures of the valks with their "muse" (perfect word btw) is what I was looking for. Since I'm horrible at artistic stuff, I'll stay way from anything that requires precision skills on my side.

Looking at the pictures again, I think that I can raise the ground level of the valk, so that way you can still see both items.

Thanks a lot for all the ideas, please keep them coming

The playmax figures are smaller, about half the size at around 9cm. 

Aren't those the one you have to paint the face? =-|

Dear folks,
After several days of research, I've come to the conclusion that I need some assistance :-)

I'm trying to set up my Macross display stand, and I would like to "match" a (hopefully tiny) figure with their relevant Valk:
- Messer's VF-31 with Kaname figure

- Michael's VF-25 with Klang

- etc, hope you get the picture.

I was checking the Banpresto SQ figure series, but they are really tall, 19cm, almost as tall as a Valk!

Wondering if you guys have any recommendation for a figure Series to achieve this (no need for articulation).

Halp! ... and thanks

... for my Yeti-less valks.

How dare you!?

/slap

Thanks for answering. I still have some valks I want that are nowhere to be found, but they do show up in YAJ

I've used Buyee before, was fairly straightforward.

Hello Mr. @Sanity is Optional,

I've read some comments about Buyee, some complaining about fees.

Do you mind sharing what is the "extra" cost or fee associated with the service of buying a valk?

Thanks

The ever growing duplicate army.  

Still on the fence as to which Hikaru 1S I'd like to keep as my 'main' valk: the PF version or my old Yamato with rainbow canopy (bottom right). 

Oh there's something wrong with one of the VF-1s. Can anyone spot it?

@Lolicon please STOP posting great pics like that...I'm really trying to convince myself to sell some of my Valks and you sir are NOT helping! 

What are you selling..... Asking for a friend....

Just out of curiosity, how much did the Arcadia Armored VF-1J went for?

Are you going to do the Fast Pack as well? or specifically the left leg armor?..... asking for a friend . T_T
