Not that I would know of anything, but it looks like the silhouette looks a little like the VF-27 with its giant gun.  That would be cool if they did do a HMR VF-25 and VF-27!

Just ordered a Bandai DX SV-262Hs from Nippon Yasan during their Easter Sale, good price! Can’t wait to get it!

Twich

This is on sale at Nippon Yasan for around $170 USD for their Easter sale

The difference is the VTOL fan cover opens in fighter mode, it looks like. It didn’t do that on the original Yamato. To me, the different color plastics on the new pics indicate the different new parts? Someone said it was an entirely new mold, so who knows. Just watch out for the dagger on top of the head, don’t know how many times I drew blood on it.

I wonder what the quality of the upcoming VF-31J will be, that might be the only way I get a VF-31 DX valk

Seems about right. Those front white bits look like 3D printed parts, maybe they were testing some tweaks?

The wing white bits are painted metal, good to know that'll be a strong hinge.

Those white pieces were metal on the Yamato version too....it didnt help....hopefully Arcadia learned from the Yamato and are making some adjustments to make it more tight/lock together better.  Otherwise it was a unique and awesome toy.

Twich

Looking back a few pages on this thread, the Arcadia version looks just like the Yamato version ( I had the Cannon Fodder version).  Hope the wings dont flop and the vertical stabilizers dont droop like they did on the Yamato

Twich

that is one of the points that I am using to try to convince my wife that I need to buy a SV-262.  She has looked at the Macross Delta mecha and the only designs that she likes is the SV-262Hs, particularly the GERWALK mode.  I am all about the fighter and the battroid modes, but if it helps me get the Valk, then I like GERWALK too! It stinks when you have a $5000 trip that your wife and two of your kids are going in in September for TaeKwonDo nationals in September in Florida( it doesnt stink, I am very excited for my kids to go and compete!), but it makes money tight

Twich

So, any word that this Valkyrie will see more releases? Since the Macross Delta movie and word of another, a single release seems disappointing. I love the unique nature of this design and hope that I can convince my wife to let me get one soon, if still available at reasonable prices.

Twich

Thank you!

Hello,

trying to convince wife to let me get a SV-262 DX toy. I see them on eBay, but a lot of the online retailers are out of stock and eBay/Amazon prices are not the best. Looking for best to ship to US (Pacific Northwest). Any suggestions? 

Thanks! Been out of the toy collecting for a while, but the Macross Delta movie gave me the Macross bug again....

Twich

This maybe a silly question, but to play Macross 30, do you need to have a modded PS3? Or would someone with a US PS3 be able to play the game, like on my PS Vita, I am able to play the Macross Delta game.  Thank You.

Twich

Also, on the VF-2SS SAP, the SAP doesn’t provide any additional boosters, just fuel and weapons and of course, armor. Is that correct? When adding it up, this Valkyrie has a fair amount of thrust. Pretty cool.

twich

Thank you for providing that information for me.  That is much more than I knew before today!

My most recent acquisition was the Bandai Hi Metal R VF-2SS Nexx use.  It is a marvel of a mecha and I just wish that it was not 1/100 scale, but instead 1/60 scale.  The level of detail is absolutely amazing to me.

Twich

I know that it is a rather obscure anime that several people despise and is not considered official, but I would really enjoy it if someone could find or reasonably produce some specifications of the Macross 2: Lovers again Valkyries.  Information on the engine power, weaponry and the like of the VF-2SS SAP and the VF-2JA and the Metal Siren that competes with the completeness of information that we have for other Macross variable fighters would be wonderful.  If such a website exists, could someone direct me to it?  Thank You!  I wish that I had the money to purchase the Bandai DX SV-262 and a VF-31 toy, but I had to settle for the much less expensive Bandai Hi-Metal R VF-2SS Nexx, which has rekindled my desire to know more about the design and specifications.

Thank You,

Question, I have a Toynami Robotech Veritech Super Poseable figure VF-1S, sealed in the original packaging, what makes this different is that it is one of the ones that were mispainted by Toynami. The black stripe in chest is not painted in the middle. I remember these being rare, so.....how much is it worth? Thank You

Happy to report that the set has been tentatively purchased by a fellow MWer.  Thank you, everyone, for your interest.

Twich

I am very motivated to sell the whole collection, at once. I am dropping price for everything to $400.00 plus shipping. While I previously stated I do not have boxes, I do have accessories. If any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thank You,

twich

YF-29 Durandal is Isamu Custom

1) SV-51-nothing is broken. One of the canards is bent from being knocked off shelf, also a part to a rear landing came off, does not affect function of gear, one of the wingtip fins is a little bent. Also, as is a common problem, arm shields/vertical stabilizers are loose, but stay put if not touched.

2) VF-1J was bought used and advertised as not touched, was in pristine condition, but had DYRL hands and no VF-1J "gloved" hands in box and no stand, also stickers were applied. Toy is very tight and in excellent shape.

3) YF-25 Prophecy- transformed twice, nothing wrong, great shape

4) YF-29 Durandal Isamu custom- transformed once, nothing wrong, great shape

5) VF-27 Super- nosecone connector piece defective and crumbly from factory and fell apart first time nosecone moved, Nippon-Yassan would not fix or exchange, unit glued back on, as I lack the skill to fix, never transformed, all rest of toy is tip-top

6) Masterpiece Starscream- original run of toy, the stand and missles and null rays included. The horizontal stabilizers show the plastic stress lines that plagued this toy, nothing broken, transformed twice, has stayed in jet mode for years

Price- I am looking for around $425 plus shipping for everything together

To clarify, only the items listed in the last post/picture are for sale. I did not start a new thread, because I know this is frowned on and some of the previous pictures are still relevant. Thank You
