another nice picture of this beautiful valk.

man this looks sweet,  imagine a DX !

good price in my opinion, Takara definitely reduced the cost by going for a more kinda MP 10 simple transformation and not an over complicated MP 44 type, will PO one of these, now where is the trailer Style gen?

Definitely getting this, can't have enough of more Optimus Primes ,  even thou is not Optimus but  Ginrai  left a bit of disappointment by the size of it, I mean is almost the size of the a G1 toy in car mode. 

I just realize the Arcadia soon to be release VF-0A cost as much as the reissue of the SDF-1, I really have no idea in what they based their decisions for their price tag, but size is not one of them that's for sure, the VF-0A a more complex figure?, who knows maybe some here owns them have a better take on this, in my opinion it should cost like 10000 yen less than the SDF 1.

Another thing it grabs my attention is that for the VF-0A it seems POs are sold out, something you don't see very often  for Arcadia Valks, nonetheless I have POd both cause is being a while I wanted these two, the other ones I hope some day appear for POs as well are a Arcadia YF 21, VF-19p, and VF 0D Pheonix Non-premium(for the lower price of course). 

but one thing is certain that the shipping cost for the SDF-1 will be one heck of price tag. 

arrived today in the mail, the box is big but it really surprise me Ginrai kinda small, still it feels it has good quality materials and kinda hefty so everything good  

just ordered both from AMAZON US I think is a fair price.

after years of wanting a Arcadia VF-0S I think this is close enough, just POd in AmiAmi for personal reasons.

40th Anniversary Voltron.

I mean, I had Voltron toys as a kid, so I see the appeal. But I was never as into Voltron as much as Transformers or even GoBots, so I feel like my SoC GoLion is probably enough for my collection.

by any case somebody knows if the lions have diecast ?, I saw somewhere that there is a diecast version and other made of plastic from Toynami, the description mentions plastic and other materials , Im kinda interested but I dont want to spend 300 bucks on a pure plastic version, for pure plastic  I already POd the Playmates 5 pack lion boxset  

I think Im no longer upset for the partsforming thing, this cyclone looks amazing.

Literally these are the reasons why I'm excited for this figure:

Specifications
Body Height: About 260mm
Motorcycle Specifications: About 280mm in length / 150mm in Height
Combined Weight: Approx. 1224g
Product Material: Alloy Material, ABS, POM  

Brand:MOSHOW

even thou the surprising upsetting parts forming thing, I think the PROS are way more than the CONS, also since Im big fan of the Bandai Myth Cloth EX Saint Seiya line so those armor parts aren't that bad cause the parts are coming from bike  , but I totally understand fans of Mospeada why they don't like figure.

Special thanks to @no3Ljm for putting / translating those specs, also there is light function I totally was unaware off , so extra point for this figure well at least for me  

well at least all the parts seems like are coming from the bike, but yeah I think like everyone is saying that's why it has that price point and as well kind of surprisingly disappointing, probably this is why Moshow took so long to open up the POs for it, they were trying to figure it out how to create a perfect transformation but it seems they couldn't, I just hope it still stays true to the Moshow great quality  and heft that they are known for. 

really excited for this cyclone / mospeada(literally is because Moshow creating it), some months ago I got one of the reissues from Sentinel Mospeada Ray and really got very very disappointed  , sorry won't go into detail why is that don't want to cause havoc here . 

WOW! out of nowhere , I mean the price for such detailed figure of a Mospeada  and created by Moshow?, damn is a great price, in the meantime I preordered right away and put those 18 bucks down! , I been waiting for this figure so long since the very moment it was shown as a prototype, I hope the quality materials used be great  and of course a good / proper amount of diecast in it  

Thanks @shazam for the heads up  

indeed a work of art how Bandai produces their Metal Build Line

I think lots of us saw lots of outcomes in the new DX YF 21 the very first day that was shown, me for example said back in the day the nosecone is too small and not large enough , some said is just the picture angle that is making the design not look accurate, I even think I point out the design specially in jet mode resemblance the Yamato YF 21 1/72 scale, I wonder why Bandai didn't see all this design flaws and the huge separate backpack, damn!!, I think Bandai should it put the DX YF 21 back to the drawing boards, Bandai they definitely can do a much better job and the DX YF 19 proves it, also if Yamato can do a much better job more than a decade ago why Bandai can't with todays new design tech?, DX YF-21 Renewal in the future anyone?  

looks insanely good.

arrived today, honestly I didn't think I was going get this valk at a reasonable price in  new/sealed condition!  

Eknightmedia for DX Chogokin Super VF-31J , I think is probably the most reasonable price I have seen locally so far:

VF-31J still available at AmiAmi.... though I think that is possibly due to a site glitch.

I noticed that, when using either Chrome or Opera browsers, when I tried checking out my order, the browser would bug out (Chrome would give me that "Oh Snap" error message, for example) repeatedly and never let me finish checking out the order.

However, I was successfully able to place an order using Firefox.

Not sure if this site/browser issue is happening to other people on AmiAmi, but if it is, that would explain why AmiAmi's pre-order is still open.

I don't think is a bug in AmiAmi webpage  even in HLJ the PO was up for a while, my opinion is that this reissue is not as appealing for customers as other Valks  because if you look for the original VF  31J you can find it kinda easily and in some cases below MSRP, even  in new condition, so there are plenty of VF 31j outhere. I was really surprised  Bandai decided to release this again, when this Valk releases all other VF 31J Hayate will go even lower price tag.
