As per Cartman's famous quote on South Park goes... "You bastard!" Can you post pics and your thoughts upon receiving it @Lolicon if possible? I'll poke around on the web and YouTube for reviews. I have a feeling that you'll beat me to it.

The Postal Strike is now over and according to this: http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/canada-post-restores-all-service-guarantees/ar-BBReSBy?li=AAggXBV&ocid=DELLDHP Everything is back to normal except for the Vancouver sorting facility as it's catching up on the piled up packages that was stored in the trailers during the strike. I have a package from Hong Kong on the way and it won't be delivered till the first or second week of the New Year and hopefully it will get by customs with no issues. As for the DX missile sets, not going to get it as I'm waiting for the Supers and the hands for the eventual Strike release for Roy upon release.

SS Magnus doesn't look too good IMHO. From Toyark. http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/18/aquaman-movie-1-6-scale-aquaman-figure-by-hot-toys-327281 Plus Threezero's 1/6 GOT Drogon preview. http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/18/game-of-thrones-drogon-figure-preview-by-threezero-327313 -
Looks at my copy of the 262 Hs.. The knees are ratcheted , the joints are die cast. Some of the Masterpiece TFs have racheted legs (like MP-10, MP-13 and various others. Don't know about the upcoming MP-44 V.3 Prime). I'll see if I can get a copy of the YF-30 and leave it in valk mode (no promises thought), although seeing the flaws now being present really sidelines it. 32k yen now is still a chunk of change for a 8 year old valk.

Now this version comes with the Flash Freeze Zero Effect? I have the first version of Kiryu and seems like the V.2 versions of the kiju gets the effect/additional parts which didn't come on the first round. -
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.

Ha ha… Does anyone want to ship an actual Arcadia VF-1s Hikaru to Ben in the U.K. so he can make a further in depth review?

Jungle had a Chronos for 28k yen six months ago and before the web ordering remake happened (still doing a make over) it creeped up to 34k yen. If the website gets back up and running it might creep up to 36k+ yen.

Another review done by BensKOllectables and was originally posted by @VF-Zer0S.

Anyone want a Chronos?? Amiami has one right now at 34k yen however its listed as Item A/Box C (meaning the box is clearly damaged). https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-005738-R Edit: There are some units that are also available at FromJapan (proxy) at buy it now from 43k yen [the lowest] up to 56,420 yen..

This is the version of Sheryl that one should really get into their collection. The paint in my copy is not too bad (not the best as there's a few spots that could need more blending as you'll see it when you get it on hand) except for the wand as it's not fully painted in the bronze (?) colour as the black mold shows up in spots here and there. Watch out for the translucent soft skirt (hands, loose hair curls, crown, wand tie and tight bows) as it's made from a softer pliable plastic . The bow and the hair tie is feels a bit stiffer.

Incoming Figure Spirits Kuji Sheryl Nome pics (Got Version B as I mentioned). Note that used the flash in the first and the last pic is the stand.

Try vf-1s. There will be a few listings that say "KO" or "Valkyrie Factory". I know that some will support 4th party mechas, however these are not the real and official items. I admit I do buy 4th party stuff to fill in the gaps in my collection, however I try and get the official stuff.

I believe that it's just a straight pin and can be removed with a proper pin removal tool. If it's a knurled pin, make sure that you remove it on the opposite end..
-
Yes there is --> Anime and Science Fiction. Hopefully that can be of help.

If and when they decide to issue the DX GBP Armoured Set and Bandai makes us fork out more funds for the new DX VF-1J "Grey Goggle variant" mold.. Seriously speaking.. If the DX GBP set does get made, why can't Bandai make the Grey Goggle DX VF-1J head sculpt as an add on like the VF-27 Beta [Grace/Cannon fodder version]?
-
I'm sure that you'll be just fine so no need to fret. Make sure that you have enough funds and be on time to get your copy of the DX VF-1J. The pricy valk that's presently available right now is the DX YF-19 Full Set (roughly 26k yen) just released not long ago from the Macross Plus anime.
-
The culprit was the knurled pins on the upper shoulder joints.. I had the same problem with my Yammie v.2 valk and got the Sideways replacement parts, however I haven't done it yet.

Posted on Toyark. Sideshow Megs - http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/12/marvel-comics-magneto-sixth-scale-figure-by-sideshow-326928 Edit: Head sculpt update from yesterday - http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/11/black-panther-movie-killmonger-head-sculpt-hot-toys-update-326681 -
I was originally interested in getting the Chronos as I do like the colour scheme, however just reading on the updated posts got me sidelined. @rdrunner - You might want to check your copy soon as I know that you have a copy in valk mode and haven't done the transformation. Manda does have the Chronos in stock - Take your pick. I find this more palatable than the 31a (pricewise). https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1025399946&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス&lang=en

Jump to the time 1:03:40 for the DX VF-1J and upwards to 1:12:15 for the TWE Missile pack listings and wrap up for that section.
