  1. Excellent question! I'll admit as a collector I'm guilty of keeping some items i have in boxes and stored away. Just depends on what it is and how rare. Sometimes i'll buy two items just so i can have one stored and another to mess with or display. I have two vf-31a kairos valks pre ordered but i want one to display in battroid and one in fighter. Or i may very well keep one locked away. It's nice to have the choice. it's not the case for everything though. I recently got my bandai hi metal r vf-2ss valk yesterday and couldn't wait to get it out the box (Carefully) and transform it (Also carefully) and now it sits in my detolf looking boss with all the sap parts on. Obviously I'll keep the box in it's shipper and mint because...collector.
  2. The green/white versions head reminds me alot of the sv-51. Which is my all time favorite Valk. I find the Keith variant alot more interesting to look at however, in all modes. Plus the paint scheme is fantastic. Wish they had maybe reversed the colours for the subordinate Sv 262. Gold with navy blue detailing. Not to say the green looks bad, just not as eye catching. But better than some of the hero's 31 valks.
  3. That's a really cool design. Wish they had gone with that one. True, I have the isamu version on route but the head laser/spike can be swiveled back which looks better.
  4. Your right there. The grey white and black does look the best out of the bunch i think. It's the 31f head that actually lets it down for me. That stupid forward facing horn kind of looks out of place. I think the 31s head looks the best. Swap that with the 31f and yeah I'd probably go for one. The Kairos just looks stunning, probably why i was happy to grab two! Same with the sv262. Just need the lil draken set to finish it off. That set's parts can be utilized pretty well split between the two sv's.
  5. Agreed, it's very crazy looking. I would have preferred a more traditional paint scheme like of the vf-0s and vf-1s.
  6. I guess because I haven't collected for a very long time and because I missed the initial pre order way back when? I took what I could get. I didn't want to miss out on it. Hopefully in future I will have you guys to keep me in "the know" for best prices and release dates etc It was cheaper than ebay anyway. Suppose it's something. Be cool to have two in formation or one in battroid, the other fighter mode. May even get the 31s. I haven't really warmed to the hero valks, the paint schemes are a bit too crazy for me. I kinda like the real world look of the 31a and prefer the wing shape. Bit like the vf-11b. Need to find myself a grunt 25a too. More money!
  7. I have a 31a already pre ordered through ebay so thought i'd try loopaza with the second. Was actually cheaper through loopaza too. As far as being reputable, I'll let you know if/when it arrives.
  8. Anyone still after the DX VF-31a Kairos? Have found a site that has pre orders available. Not sure how many are left.
  9. I was looking on twitter before, it was mentioned on Macross Tweet that the pre sale in japan would be this thurs? It says the suggested retail price is 22,680 inc tax 8% Scheduled for release in july just like @no3ljm said.
  10. @wmkjr @no3Ljm it's all good. I went from knowing nothing about it or that it even existed to some info about it. Thanks
  11. Really?! Awesome! Who's making it and is there a trailer? Or was it just an announcement?
  12. I recently pre ordered the calibre wings f-14 s Roy Focker version. Look forward to that! F14 is my favorite real world jet. Love the start of Mac zero with shin dogfighting the migs in one.
  13. Yes that's the ones. I'm just missing the hammerhead now. They are indeed very detailed with lots of accessories but let down by the scale and nowadays... Price. Only reason I bought them is because I'm not a model builder.
  14. I haven't got ps vr but if I was going to buy it, it would be for Ace Combat 7. Add that experience to a macross valkyrie game = mind blown / eyes bleed / heaven
  15. I've bought them from a trusted seller on ebay who I have had items off before. All new and sealed stuff. (262 still on route) The Lil draken set would be worth getting I think, although i personally wouldn't attach them to the 262. They come with stands so flying in formation would look better imo. The fast pack parts that go on the legs do add a lot to the design in fighter mode while keeping the profile and paint scheme looking sharp. I will get in at some point, yes.
  16. Star wars has battlefront 2 for that, which wasn't bad for space battles. I enjoyed macross 30 for as far as I got anyway. Wish the text had an English option though. Great game regardless. Project Aces would definitely raise the bar in terms of combat and realism. I think they could definitely pull it off. Surprised they haven't got together with bandai to discuss the possibility of a macross sim/game.
  17. I was excited for the nexx 1/60 vf-2ss but while I can't knock evolution for trying, they ultimately failed in my eyes. I have the HMR silvie version with sap parts on route. Should be a cool little valk to play with.
  18. As you can tell by my avatar i am a big fan of Feff's Gigamesh power armor from Mac ll. Think we will ever see a figure of it? I know there is a resin kit out there, but it's quite rare i believe. The metal siren would be an interesting figure as well. Hopefully evolution either get good or bandai/arcadia step in and have a crack at doing mac ll valkyries etc.
  19. I bought two of these at £150 a pop. I wanted one in fighter and one in battroid mode. Both modes look incredible and that paint scheme is super bling.
