    I just Pre Ordered a WWM VF-25 from BBTS, a $22.00 non refundable deposit is required. They have it for $219.00 plus shipping. 

    Easiest Valkyrie PO in a very long time. 

     

    Bit the bullet and did the same.  I really like the look of this guy though.

    Question on the Riobot cyclones.   Are they fully painted, and is the quality of the paint in terms of staying on the figure fantastic?  Also, is there any bits of die cast in them?

    I have the Riobot Iron Giant, and paint quality / built / die cast are really good.  And when joints get loose, i apply Fix Loose Joints, and gets tight again.  Wondering how the Cyclones are.

    I would like other 3rd parties trying out, but it is such a niche that i dont know how worth it is would be.    I am thinking something along the scales of Megahouse or Riobot, but maybe without the paint and detachable parts like the 1/100 Bandai HMR line for comparison, to lower the price, and for the small scale, i am personally ok with not perfect transformation as long as it looks fantastic in both modes, ie look as good scale wise as Riobot, but dont have to be perfect transformation and dont have to be fully painted, if it saves on cost and makes figure more durable / less prone to breakage, and easier to transform.

    The 31A has very few actual differences to the other 31's.  The new AX has more significant changes from any of the previous 31's including the A than the A does from the other previous 31's. 

    this might be a new Valk from the movie though

    There is more that is different than just colors.  The edge of the saw-tooth is extended and had a point to it.  The forward stabilizers are larger.  The pod has a different load-out and creates a “stinger” look at the rear that isn’t on the original.

    I guess I’m just jonesing for a whole new valk rather than a slightly tweaked existing one. I love the 31A because it’s so different from the other 31’s. Just me though not begrudging anyone else’s take. They do look sweet and I know I’ll get one anyway. ha!

    I think Kawamori was on acid when he designed the SV-262.  That thing is the most complicated Valk I've ever tried to transform.  Ingenious design but insanely hard to transform.  

    I can attest to Bandai making this thing pretty damn sturdy.  I rarely transform my valks so when I do, I do it extremely carefully.  After hour 2 of trying to transform this thing, I was banging on it like a rubics cube due to frustration.  Even managed to slip out of my hands and fall 4 feet onto my hardwood floor and still didn't break a thing.  Pretty solid build.

    I got a second SV-262 solely for the purposes of transforming it to battroid for display and I gotta be honest I didn’t find it to be that much more complicated than say the VF-171. It’s probably MORE difficult to transform it BACK to fighter.

    Yeahh I really want more 262 and Ba.. I'd be more excited for this than the new 31 variants in the upcoming new Delta movie.

    I want the Ba version so bad. But I’m not getting that 1/72 scale plastic kit….no way. Damn shame Bandai didn’t/won’t make a DX version. I’d pay whatever they’d charge for it
