Arrived today with no fuss from Nin-Nin, decently packed with no wasted volume. I am very impressed with the engineering and build quality. The main landing gear alone are an amazing example of complexity and cleverness, and when they’re extended they’re rock solid. Thank goodness the Legioss is getting reissued this month. I NEED one for this beast.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Sildani replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I had thought the NUNS adopted the VF-24, of which the VF-25 was a detuned "Share-Valkyrie" that was sent for free to emigrant fleets and colonies and the VF-26 made by Macross Olympia went nowhere. The VF-24 was described as so powerful and versatile that I can't imagine the NUNS getting rid of it only a decade or so after its adoption. -
Mine just shipped from Nin-Nin, so I’m glad I avoided their curse. Now I just need a Legioss.

That Sisko looks very little like Avery Brooks. -

Been a while since I've been to this thread - how many keyboards have you gone through, Seto? 🙂 -
He died as he lived. There will never be another like him.

Well I checked Nin-Nin's FAQ, and it seems legit... I suppose this order broached some kind of limit.
-
I ordered mine from Amazon, I may not get it until October, but from these initial reports it’s going to be cancelled. I hope these are just the few bad ones that escaped QC.

Hi! Nin-Nin wants me to verify my identity by submitting pics of me holding my passport, and then close-up pics of my passport, along with a utility bill. Is this really a standard procedure? I’ve never had to do this with any other importer.
-
Paid for my Tlead + Legioss. I hope it’s worth it. I’m going to have to sell some of my other Valkyries to recover.
-
Same. Hopefully they're reliable. I hear stories from both sides.

Rare earth magnets in fighter, then have the legs and arms attach via some flip-out pegs and flip-open holes for gerwalk and battroid.

Nin-Nin Game has the combined Sentinel Tread with bonus missiles available again with pay later: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fp8j5.mj.am%2Flnk%2FAWUAAF9cBqsAAAAAAAAAAXDJL-EAAYCrbhsAAAAAAAOtLgBniFVlresSQWcPRA-vCs3NMrTuZgADg5A%2F2%2Fo5VkwoecUxIWjMSAlO-Pag%2FaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmluLW5pbi1nYW1lLmNvbS9lbi9zZW50aW5lbC8xNTQ5MzQtcmlvYm90LWFybW9yZWQtZ2VuZXNpcy1tb3NwZWFkYS1hYi0wMWgtdHJlYWQtMTQ4LWxpbWl0ZWQtZWRpdGlvbi1ib251cy1zZW50aW5lbC0uaHRtbA&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3c59de5ede8a42c54ac708dd35c65325%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638725848118084441%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wa2McZrG2KtAd8Cp0b2jRTzauLrtWj8AMKPsSJd85V8%3D&reserved=0

I like the matte finish. Other than that I’m not totally sold on this since I didn’t much care for Brera as a character and I don’t think the extra screws are really going to change much. I thought it was a little odd they compared the Revival to the original 27, not the Renewal. I guess they wanted to show all the differences they could. I wonder if the Renewal 27 sold so poorly… Still happy with my Grace 27, but I did put in a PO for this with Amazon for the hell of it. I’ll compare it to my figure of Melda Dietz and see if their colors compare well. If not, Amazon’s return policy makes it simple.
-
So. Will this be a US release, or not? Is this going to suffer pre-order madness, or not? And which vendors accept PO payment later, these days?
-
Now, now, using a Valkyrie as a letter opener has some merit.
-
That’s unexpected. I’m happy with my Grace O’Connor Renewal version, I suspect this will be a Revival Brera version. That said, I bet the matte red will POP. Wonder if I should get one to display behind my Melda Dietz figure… no, not the right franchise, but the colors I bet would match beautifully.

Keeping an eye open for the 1/60 Yamato Version 2 compatible set.

They’re just reissuing Keith’s mount? What a disappointment. Should have done a Ba model, Mirage’s ride, or the “meownie” 262 from the cat planet. EDIT: No, it’s Bogue’s from a movie I didn’t see. Very well, my other points stand.

Please let us know your shoulder assembly situation! Bandai Engineering - it’s Not Just Good - it’s Good Enough!
-
Broken head lasers and possibly a shoulder misassembly issue - has anyone else reported incorrect shoulder joints? We got Bandaied(TM)!
-
Cool! That code’s not working for me.
-
Inflation, the weak yen, or the greater number of parts and engineering? It’s not that expensive in Japan.
-
This is a WWM release?
-
Only a renewal version. This is “my” Valkyrie because according to the background its maiden flight was on my birthday, December 11.
