Thanks for the heads up Xigfrid, but I'm really hoping to find some original parts so I can complete my set for OCD completist reasons
-
Just wondering: has anyone tried using dispersion dye on Bandai and/or Arcadia's plastic?
Looking to get some more beautifully drab gray valks and I don't want to deal with paint rub, but I'm a bit nervous about dumping the thing wings and everything in 90C water.

Just reporting mine from Ami-Ami was packed with a ring of paper on top, antenna is fine.
-
Sooo I have lost the shoulder plates that mount the missiles for my armor set- the FP ones work just as well, but I figured I'd try to complete my set. I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new super parts set for two itty bitty pieces of plastic.
-
Just another note of help to those waiting: I was always cordial in my communication with NY and did not let them know about order numbers before me, etc. Also, it was quite random: I got my shipment notice today although my last communication with them was 3 weeks ago. It really seems that they're drawing numbers out of a hat or something!

My VF-31A shipped through NY today! (Ordered 10/7 3am) And to think, I had just logged on today to request store credit
I'd be even more excited if I hadn't already bought a pair at the scalper's markup since I was impatient. But another in the family never hurts.
-
I'm still waiting for my order, after numerous pesterings. I ordered 10/7 03:05:09 #488952 and have sent multiple bugging tickets: still no movement.
I'm also in the boat of "never using NY again" despite their low prices.

Great transaction with @mpau25
Although it shipped without a box, the vf-0a arrived in immaculate condition
-
Boy, I really am lazy and need to add pictures! Also, hold on to your butts, but I'm very likely going to be letting go of one of my VF-31A's at cost (which is to say, inflated of course :p)
-
This one isn't a shameless plug, but is a great find for someone who seems to be clearing out his or her collection:
Hope I'm not ruining anyone's bids: if I hadn't exhausted my fun funds with a pair of price-gougy vf-31A's I'd be all over all of those! This person is probably preventing my items from getting sold at the moment

Dang, I woke up with a vague feeling I forgot something and I load up MWF to find out I missed a PO madness night.
Anyone mind sharing late-comer sources? (Other than loopaza... $300 before shipping is more than I want for 2 chunks of bracketry)
-
I'm still confused- are those pics w. drakens just a "what if" of them glued onto the valk and the actual product going to have super bulky bracketry? Or are those brackets THAT invisible?
Other than the color, I actually think the drakens on siegfried are starting to grow on me- I suppose worst case, if I PO, I can get a vf-31F with slightly less foggy canopy?
-
Sooo just to be clear- it's brackety-goodness for the 31F and non-perfect transformation? If that's the case, I too will pass: though I hope this encourages some obsessive collectors to dump their original 31F's at bargain prices
-
So.... when is PO madness for the extra-wholy VF-31F
?
-
Updated sold/Price reduction!

Hi folks,
In a bit of a spending splurge, I bought two marked up VF-31A's and now I need to make up for it (man I'm addicted!) Pics coming soon or on request if you want detail shots.
Prices include USPS priority shipping to CONUS- if you want insurance, another carrier etc. I'll charge you the difference.
VF-31J Kai - SOLD
VF-31J Supers - SOLD
VF-31A - SOLD
VF-31F Supers - SOLD
*EDIT: forgot to mention I'm on SSL, payment by paypal F&F expected or else mark it up appropriately
-
I just won me a vf-31A of YJP for a cool 37800 yen since I got tired of constantly refreshing my order status at NY.
In other words, it looks like the price is starting to stabilize from the craziness of a month ago: have hope my friends!
If NY actually does come through with my PO, I'll be more than happy to have a pair. Yeesh. Time to start selling off other bits of my collection or a kidney to make rent!

Thanks. It shipped from them on 4/23 through Eco SAL.
Was it a mysterious no-account update shipping, or did they e-mail you in April? (I'm still waiting and hoping for my PO)
-
Apologies if this has been mentioned before, as I don't seem to see it in the thread discussion, but do we know if this has the snazzy ratcheted joint upgrades?
Also, if you're trying to offload a 19 advance, please DM me

Hi there, I'm kind of a newbie in terms of PO madness (only ever did it for the 31J).
Does this mean I should be up at 3am EDT on Saturday, technically? My memories from the last time I did PO madness are fuzzy
-
-
Now I'm kind of sad I didn't take advantage of 10% off rakuten coupon... though the cost shipped to my door would probably still have been about $460
One silver lining: hopefully this sends a message to bandai that lo-viz schemes sell like crazy and maybe we can get some more military-looking valks.
For now I'll just bust out the vf-25s, Vf-4G and VF-0A to satisfy my cravings for gray.
-
Hi folks, just like a lot of people I'm in search of a VF-31A. I recently bought a great looking vf-31j kai + supers. I'd be willing to trade this for a VF-31A, messed up wings, etc. okay. Or, I'd be willing to drop a fat wad of cash for yours. Name your price- reasonable offers considered.
I'd also be willing to part with a complete VF-25S Ozma renewal set (valk, supers, armor) for a 31A + cash. Let me know.
Help! Undoing enamel thinner on plastic embrittlement?
in The Workshop!
Posted
Sooooo I was stripping down one of my Arcadia VF-0A's for repainting using mr. thinner instead of my usual rubbing alcohol (since it works so much faster... sigh...) when I noticed that the gerwalk joint spontaneously started exploding. Turns out you're not supposed to use that on straight plastic and this is a well documented effect for modelers.
So I stopped, I repaired and sanded the fissures I saw with CA, and now I'm wondering if this toy is now compromised. Is there anyway to "undo" the embrittlement? Should I just glue this together in fighter mode? The rest of the fig seems fine.
