Lol. Was constantly refreshing CDJapan, Hobby Search and Ami Ami. Never saw an add to cart button.

Same here, only in nin-nin for 2 seconds, add to cart and crash!

I'm actually shocked by the difference between paint jobs...  

Roy's VF-1S looks perfect, consistently dirty and realistic.  

Hikaru's VF-1J looks like a goth vampire painted it up for Halloween.  

I wonder how consistent these weathering jobs turned out...  Did all Roy's look as good as this one, or did it depend on who was doing the work?  Did all Hikaru's look as bad as this one, or was it just the "luck of the draw?"

Yeah, Roy's valky seems smooth and cool, Hikaru's valk seems too much weather effect. Hikaru's was released before Roy's, maybe Yamato improved the weathering effect later

We have to check on VF-1S Max DYRL because was the first special weathering version

The only problem I ever had on a rainbow canopy was the Super VF-1J Millia because I've already brought in that condition. All others I have are perfectly fine.

Are you experiencing any issues with the 1/60?  Any flaking on the canopy?  Now that I have the Hikaru 1/48 with weathered SSP, my next goal is the 1/60 Max 1S weathered with SSP too.

I don't have any issues with the canopy rainbow paint, as you see on the pictures they are well preserved. I think you must check the condition before buying them to avoid any future problems.

There are 4 more weathered VF-1 v2 1/60: 1) VF-1A Max DYRL, 2) VF-1A Kakizaki DYRL, 3) VF-1S Hikaru DYRL & 4) VF-1S Max DYRL. Someday I will have them all

I like the VF-1J v2 1/60 too

Nice pics!!  Thanks for sharing.  I think the 1/60 weathering looks better than the 1/48 that they did.

I agree because they have more tampo and looks better than the old 1/48

I was lucky to brought a couple of VF-1 v2 1/60 Yammies, VF-1S DYRL Focker & VF-1J Hikrau TV & Super / Strike parts, I really like both of them

Yamato & Arcadia are both good stands in my opinion

The old Yamato comes with a lot of adapters for 1/48, 1/72 and 1/60 v.1 valkys and the Arcadia comes with VF-0 adapters and has a big base with better stability for those big valks like SV-51.  Another difference is the Yammie has a metal main arm and the Arcadia is made in plastic

My vote is for the DX VF-31 also, it's the most accurate valkyrie of all. In case of the VF-1 (my favourite model of all) the VF-1 v2 1/60 has a small gunpod (with 1/48's looks better) but still has a very good looking like the bandai's DX.

Great news for those who has missed the VF-1J & GBP-1S, I've already have three yammies, an easy pass for me. I'm interested in the new SV-51 Nora

I love the progression shown of the armour packs but why does the Delta look like he’s packing oranges?

i have always felt that a more subtle color palette could have been used.

Yeah, nobody understand why is orange, white still looks good, but orange has no relation even with the VF-31S

It's a local guy here in the Philippines. He has a website: http://www.transformerscustomtoys.com/

I'm too lazy to transform it to battroid, but here are some pics of it he sent previously.

Looks great!

I've fixed my SV-51 because the ankles came inverted but took me a lot of time to remove the screws because there is not too much room to move the screwdriver.

My missiles are ready to fire!

Amazon.jp currently has 'em for 10% off retail...  

It's at least a year away -- and will likely cost you twice what the Yamato will -- but it'll be the best 1:48 Roy.

So many 1:60 variations to consider...  

...and that doesn't even include the new Premium Finish release.

One more choice...!
