Here's another thought - Use clear nail polish or Future Floor Finish on the gold trim that is prone to chipping off right away when you pop the transformation joints (and let dry before going mad on the full transformation).

I've been watching lots of transformation vids and hopefully that I don't screw up during the process. Definitely going to valk and battriod modes and skip the gerwalk all together (less hassle to deal with). On a side note - If Bandai does decide to do the Elvis version, I wonder how are they doing to make the gold trim highlights not peel upon removing the protective covering?

Got my paws on a SV 262 Ha from Jungle (Grade B, 13k yen) and will make the payment if I don't have any else to add on to this order within a few days. Going to see of I can manage to do all the transformation in all three modes without tossing it against the wall and not causing me to bleed in the process in doing so. Lil'Draken add-ons to follow.
-
Hmm... The VF-25 can be re done into a larger scale as it was in the Robot Spirits line up with the Q-Rare. I wonder if the YF-19 can be redone into the HMR as it was in the Hi-Metal line up. Toss in the possible YF-21 and you get more sales (if and when Bandai decides to it, that's another question).
-
I might get docked for doing this... For anyone that wants a VT-1, Manda has one right now. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1095867837&ref=list

Seems like the Siegfrieds get more love (and have more variants in DX form) than compaired to the Drakens (with one in DX form with a possibility of two more if and when Bandai choose to do so). Still going to get a Draken regardless. -
The demand isn't high for them to justify the cost as the hero/heroines are the main focused characters. I read that Max and Mirya are not that big of a seller overseas (as secondary characters); however, in the American shores, they become one of the hot ticket items. I guess that's why it depends on the psychographic/demographics of the market demand (plus customers) and where you put the product in the particular market.

I think that the transformation may have to do with it. Valks that are a really pain the butt to do all three transformations get left in the shelf and collect dust or get tossed against the wall in frustration. I know that the Yammie SV-51, DX VF-171 and possibly other valks (I can't think of any other ones) are in the list of the less desired ones due to the transformation including the SV-262.

Going to keep my eyes peeled for the EXQ Sheryl and Ranka. @tekering: Those 30th Anniversary crossover figures are still available if your interested in getting the rest of them.

Review of HT: Justice League Wonder Women (Deluxe Version) Edit: Here's the actual review (took out the unboxing vid) The comparsions are here. -
I believe that this is the original 31f as the newest one has not been released (unless someone was gotten a advanced copy of the re-issue ahead of time through "un-official means").
-
Hmm... The 1/60 versions are more inclined to my tastes as I could cobble Set A and B for combo for my Arcadia VF-1S DYRL Roy.
-
You guys thought of almost all of the valks that Arcadia could reissue again. Most likely the VF-1D and the VF-0 could possibly the next item on the list? The VF-0 (and variants) are now asking quite a premium and another round should soften the blow for the collectors that do want a copy to add their collection.
-
Good thing that it's not Romulan Ale, Sauron Brandy or the synthahol that they serve in Ten Forward on the Enterprise D... Bloodwine is for warriors! I think its more to the tuned Red Violet colour.
-
That's just weird... Mirage's 262 Ba is more pink than maroon. Final colours (?) and depicted as per the kit that was shown a few pages back. Hopefully Bandai is not messing with our minds by not doing the DX Elvis Ha variant as depicted in the movie promos and as the model kit version with the Kumo Kumo ishta. I'm really close to pull the trigger on getting Keith's Ha and the add-on set (I know that I'll be paying quite a mark up on it). Is it just me or I find that the missile bays are present in the top pic posted by @seti88 and not on the one with the fight with Cassim on the third one (must have cast it off for maneuvering purposes or used it all up)?
-
I was actually thinking back to an episode in where Maki Maki and Rei Rei got caught and spend the evening (or half a day) in a holding cell in trying to rescue/find Kumo Kumo and how the two of them got into working with Xaos [Just remembered which one - Episode 21: Yearning Secret] Well Hayate did work as cargo loader before joining as a pilot for Delta Squadron (carefree attitude though). He did say that the 171 layout controls where somewhat similar to the loading machines that he worked with previously and wasn't refined pilot when he started flights on the 31 valk. Don't forget that Messer did chew up Hayate in his flying skills as well. Enough chat... Bring on the figures!
-
Just a heads up if anyone needs Hayate 31J (Plain Jane version) for 17.6K yen. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-021748-R063

Since when did Sheryl and Ranka started working with the Frontier Mechanics on taking care of the 25 and 171 valks? Must be a secondary job to support their living as singers when not needed and going to school at the same time. If my memory serves me correctly, didn't Maki Maki got her hands on skills on working with one the Xao's valks?
-
Keith's Hs is still shelf warming on a few sites and will possibly stay that way if and when the Roid's (Elvis) Ha gets released with the possible (?) Kumo Kumo ishta. The only way to included the Lil'Drakens together will be like the TWE as per the 171EX Sheryl ishta version (Maruyama). I really want to see Mirage's 262 Ba variant in DX form not a model kit. That will either make it or break it has most of us has Mirage's 31c and possibly get her 262 Ba as a possible complement.
-
Wait a minute here... There's the remainder of the Destroids, N-ger and the rest if the enemy mecha that needs to be made and after reading @Roy Focker reply of possibly revisiting the YF-19, is it the YF-21 "planned as well " (I know that @no3Ljm brought up a pic of a resin YF-21 awhile back)? I know that nothing is yet set on stone, as its still in the planning stages.

Almost a full year (over 10 months to exact from start to finsih) for Yeti's 31a to be sent and there's more members that are still waiting for their copy to be fulfilled. I'm guessing that it will be over a year before everything is settled (or sooner)?

Regardless of anyone's pic of the new HMR that's been put out, haters are going to hate (maybe it's the possibility that they can't effort to get it). Even my pic of the HMR VT-1 got a down vote. I'll be frank: Such Childish behavior... Guess that I'm going to lots of down votes due to my post. Go ahead, I'm still going to post pics regardless either you like it or not.
