Heyy!!! Been offline the forums for a while... so the news is we get an Arad variant in Messer's colors and a Hayate speaker combo ( will support bluetooth)??

And I'm still here craving for a reissue of the 31A ... man!!!

Hey guys!! Just saw the new trailer / teaser!! Indeed it does not give much about the plot, and raises many questions about the new valks. I just hope it includes UN or custom vf 31As cause we need massive re releases of that bad boy!!!!!

And please dont let it bring or mention any of the Windermerean revolution so we can leave that in the past and never talk about it again!!!!!! xD

Awesome thanks a lot!!!

Hey guys!? Is there a specific thread for the new coming Delta movie?? Just saw the trailer. Thx!!!!

Finally the final valk of delta squad!!

Feels it was yesterday I finished the ep1 teaser and my face was like O_o?!?!?!

How beauiful is that?!?!

You could argue the price... but my arcadia vf0s can kick any bandais derriere any day (even the 30 and 31)... so expectations are high

whats a reasonable price right now for a NIB never transformed VF-31A?

For 2nd market MIB valks my roof is at usd 300.... beyond that its a nono, no matter how hot or rare the valk is.

These chuck cancelled orders is becoming a cat-astrophe!!!

Dont worry Im sure the valk will be available after release. Remember the 31 kai was nowhere to be found and today it is still available (even with a mark up, but still)

Ok...if its not to many epi to get into...i'll certainly give it a watch....thanx

Its a 25 episode series and a 2 movie retelling of 2hrs each. 

I think youll enjoy it... just be careful because if you fall for any of the valks or armor sets you better prepare your wallet!!!!

I just watched jenius’ review and see that the clips are for the forward swept wings :/

Maybe someone will put something on shapeways. 

I have a vague memory of someone attaching the lil drakkens to the missile holes under the wing. If so maybe the kairos could do the same

If chuck comes with a mini cat fish thingy Im in!!!!!!

Looks so nice when the lil drakens DO match the valk color,

even when light blue/green is the standard color for any war aircraft right? xD

I think I just found my Christmas gift and just bought it, I always wanted this since I saw it cause of the design and color combination I think it looks stunning and ageless in all forms   

And with Item A and Box B literally the Valk is brand new and unopened , for the average price this valk is going on in other places I think this is by far the cheapest I can get it and brand new!,

So any advise / recommendation guys on what I need to take care off before handling the figure ?, 

 

 

The head lasers and the head itself are very tricky when going from battroid to fighter.

In Battroid the chest has no locking mechanism unless you use the extra braces. So be careful how you pose it or handle it without the extra pieces.

When unfolding the missile pod the white paint on die cast will scratch.

When you fold down the jet nose when going to battroid there is still a pointy tip in front of the cockpit that you have to be careful not to scratch or bend against the chest cover during transformation.

You can use gerwalk without its new waist articulation, which I find very annoying. You can just unfold the legs forwards as in every other valk.

You dont need to use the locking mechanisms for the shoulders in battroid or gerwalk. Be careful when pulling out the shoulders cause they are stiff when new.

Congrats on the new valk!!

Its gone.. Someone must have been waiting the valk that badly. 

It was a packaging issue that got the busted head laser not a design flaw. 

To me Yf 19 turbine intake hips should have a die cast inner structure instead of being made all of plastic. 

Hopefully all upcoming valks will have racheted legs. Cant remember if the 262 have this kind of joints

You’d think for the price we paid for the. Chronos and it’s slim a availability, there wouldn’t be stress cracks like this. Can they EVER design a vak without these old and reoccurring  issues ??

I hear ya!!!

Its a straight pin... thought those assemblies were impossible to separate.

Will look for a tutorial online!

Imo the delta vf 31 forward wings look smaller in proportion to the whole jet.

If you have a yf 29 around (w/o superparts) you will see the wingspan size proportions right away, if compared.

But then again, bigger wings mean bigger backpack

Still the vf 31 is a nice design. 

It has been mostly in fighter inside its box with very few transformations.

Id say it's more related to materials and design than mileage. Maybe kinda the same problem as the early yamato 1/60 v2 shoulder defects??

Its a very low stress joint that only goes up and down and one of the easiests bits to transform between modes. 

Heeeey!

Another heads up! I was looking at the pic with more detail and now I found the classic "hair looking" crack at the arm shoulder joint!!!

I was going to move on with the toy as it is and never locking the shoulder up for battroid, but with this crack at the arm joint its time to ask my pal super glue to do a very discrete but strong fix before we lose the arm of a now very expensive valk.

Hey guys!

Just a heads up!

1 The piece that folds out under fin  to fix the shoulder snapped into two. Still works and attaches to the shoulder but compromised.

Also you can see some cracks in the plastic piece of the swivel of the shoulder unfolding articulation.

Those are supposed to be stress free joints so I guess its related to wear.

I just cant imagine the time it will take bandai to release multiple armored packs for each individual color.

For that reason alone, i think it will just be 3 armor packs at maximum. 
Conservatively, i would say perhaps a 31A armor pack would probably sell the best, and that's too tempting for bandai to ignore?

 

I fully hope all kairos orders will be delivered.

Otherwise at the rate the kairos are being delivered I think bandai would only need to produce so few armor sets  which may not be enough for a profitable production cost run

eBay requested that I have to file an Incident Report to the Police before the Nov 11 for them to have it filed for documentation so I can get my full refund.

 

That sucks! Buyer protection protocol doesnt seem so protective when you have to report to the local police a seller overseas.

Maybe telling ebay your local enforcers wont open a file against a seller located on the other side of the planet?

Hope it all works out.

I think they will still milk the Delta frachise

Frontier got 2 movies and lots of valk releases besides the main squadron.

We are just getting chuck's dx and still waiting for the regular use / white / white S / drakkens, mirage's drakken, maybe vf 22, trainning vf 1 red or blue. 

But who knows how long till Macross shirtless with the vf 3x wet-shirt right??

Is orange a color used to denote test or prototype equipment in Japan’s military? Matter of fact, in Macross itself, orange was used for the Super Ostrich and the VF-1D, and for one of the Project Super Nova prototypes (think it was 06). The drones launched against Guld in Plus were orange, I recall an event in Plus as well where the X-9 went up against a formation of drone VF-11s, and they were orange. 

Orange might be more fitting than it may first look. 

Now that you mention it...

It would be very Bandai if another movie comes out and the armor gets a different color because it will then be standard use and boom... armor set repaint TWE
