Those Jolly Rogers squadron markings look so good on the vf-1!

@TrickyCustomer Just so you know, mine's been sat in Coventry customs for about a week, suspect that the weather has them snarled up. Don't know whether that would impact you though on IOM, as I suspect mine's waiting on import fees.

Cheers for the warning chief, I've not had an recent updates since friday on my order. Hopefully it will get through without issue.

Mine is nearly here

So what's the question regarding this post, then?

 

 

To quote Jack Nicholson - Where does he get those wonderful toys? 

Glad I bought a couple of 25a's too 

OK that looks good

Speaking of nice 1/18 Autoarts...this thing is a beauty!

Nice, i have the mad max interceptor 1:18 clean version and the 1:43 mm2 cars.

I was really hoping for the ending to be the arm letting go.

Yes that would be something! could always attach a firework i suppose

Nice! However, by the time the door opens and the Valk is able to be deployed, the fleet will already have been destroyed by the enemy.

lol yeah probably

Neat, where did you buy this?

It's not mine, i literally stumbled across it on youtube just now. It's a fairly recent upload too. I wouldn't mind a launch arm display stand myself though

Have you guys seen this review? There is no commentary, it's literally showing off the parts and transformation. It's something to watch anyway if your wanting to see the 31a being handled.

Check this out. Kudos to the guy for the setup.

What does "on route" mean to you?  Technically mine shipped, it's just sitting at the Hong Kong Airport waiting.

 

Did everybody else who ordered from CDJ get their e-mails yet or am I rolling 1's on everything these days?

I don't really care tbh. It means it's no longer sat in the warehouse it came from and is "on route" to me now. Specifically, dispatched from sorting center as of 11:24am today. It will take as long as it takes.

Have a free bump because it's friday

Does anybody else have an order from Loopaza just hanging out in Pre-shipment not doing a damn thing?  It's been like this for three days.

My three from loopaza are on route. Have checked tracking to confirm.

This twitter has serious Macross porn pictures!

It is good to browse on Twitter and get those eye brows lifted now again lol the 31a looks the business with super packs. I think it is now my 2nd favorite Valk behind the sv-51. 

Sorry not sorry

Haha. Fair enough.

No fightin' words intended... it's just that that's my favorite scene in all of Macross, so I couldn't resist 

 

Not having any DX29s I'll take your word, as I'm certain I'd echo your point if my Yammie YF-19 were Gloss instead of matte.

I must say the '29 design didn't do much for me, but the more I see them, the more the design grows on me. 

 

Hey that actually looks pretty good next to the 19. Glad I got both!  Super pack definitely improves the design as well. I'm not a big fan of engines on the wings for the 29. But super parts do a good job of covering them up.

My 2 babies arrived today... the Arcadia Max + Miria VF-1 Super Valkyries.

I was a bit inspired by the amazing Macross collection photos I saw here. So.... this is my first attempt at it too.

But i am realizing... I don't have enough room for the other 4 1/60 scale Arcadia and Yamato v2 Valkyries coming in, yet alone the 8 Toynami ones. EEP!

Space is always a problem for collectors! lol

I don't want to get into an argument what is canonically correct (especially since this is a YF-29 and not a YF-19 :P). I'm just saying that the light tan color looks better with a matte finish.  

Yes no debate to be had on that one lol i agree, it's basically down to personal preference.

Yeah, I was looking at the Master File book the other night and they have a FSW lflanked by two A’s all in CF colors.  Won’t happen though, the best we can hope for is the Arad custom.

I have seen some squadron colors in that, they look cool. I think 4 31a's is enough for me now lol If i buy another 31 it will be the messer 31f. That will be staying in fighter mode though because i do not like the head design. I have the arad 31s pre ordered, so that's gonna look good in battroid i think.

I think Isamus YF-29 is hampered by the glossy plastic Bandai used at that time. The color scheme lends itself much better to a matte finish in my opinion. 

I know what you mean with the glossy finish. It's bearable. I take it all later dx chogokin came with a matte finish? I noticed my sv262 had it.

Those gifs are brilliant lol I have finally got round to having a look at my Isamu custom yf-29 i bought awhile back. Got to say what an awesome looking valk and fairly straight forward transformation for a first time chogokin transformer like myself. The Kieth sv262 went back in its box, i will transform that another time. I think battroid looks best on this one and the stand definitely helps with the display for battroid too. Ozma custom will have to be purchased next i think.
