Well, for as much as I am afraid that I will jinx myself by saying this, I can also claim to have no damage to mine. (Knock on wood.) I've transformed mine at least 15-20 times since having purchased it back when it first came out. Mine is wearing the super packs, too, and it's been standing in battroid mode in my display cabinet for a very long time now. I came out of my bedroom the other morning to find that one of my cats had been jumping vigorously on top of my Valkyrie display cabinet to the point that I found my 171 face down on the top shelf. I was certain that it was going to be broken... but nope. Not yet, anyway. I am highly curious if the forthcoming white EX model with the Sheryl decal will have improved/redesigned joints, but I'm not terribly hopeful. I think my green 171 is a prime candidate to go back into its box to be replaced in my cabinet by the new white one as soon as it's in my hands.

I just want some little tease of Cable, and I'll be happy. Even just a glimpse.

I own TFC Hercules, and absolutely love it. I never considered Maketoys Giant, but when I heard that this company was doing the Technobots, I had to get on board. I just got Quantron this past week, and it is amazing. Just from this, I can see why people appreciate Giant so much. -
If the notion might strike you to sell it, let me know. I might be in the market for a second one. My first one has become super floppy over time - even after a few coats of nail polish on the hip joints.

I cannot believe that I'm about to say this, but this Valkyrie is AMAZING. I was completely on the fence when I saw the first photos because of the back kibble in battroid mode, but once you have it in hand, the transformation for this thing is nothing short of brilliant. Kawamori-sama has proven his genius once again. I haven't been so enamored with a Valkyrie since I first saw the YF-19 way back in 1994. Although I do wish that the tailfins could telescope up into the main wing body, I am still crazy about this Valkyrie. I can't wait to see if FAST packs are coming for it.
-
So, having never played the game, I am curious if someone could explain to me the significance (if any) behind the SMS Uroboros and Siegfried markings on this?
-
Ah, screw it. I just ordered one of these from AmiAmi. I wish I had jumped on the bandwagon sooner, but the tailfins still drive me crazy.
-
Also got notification that my Super Pack shipped from BigInJapan.
-
How much longer before the Super Pack comes out for this? I feel like I preordered it 8 months ago... (Just impatient, I think.)

Your two cents is indeed valuable. -
Finally got shipping notification from N-Y. Now what the heck is Special Services Mail...?
-
Finally got a response from N-Y after the second ticket. The response? "Hello Thank you for your message You order should be ship this week We apologize for the delay Kind Regards Nippon-yasan.com" Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm done with them now. I'm displeased that they didn't acknowledge any of my questions, or attempt to assuage my concerns in any way.
-
Indeed, thank you.
-
I want that SPACESHIP! so badly that it is just eating me up. I wonder if Target will get this? I was just given a very nice gift card recently...
-
What is this "jungle" of which you speak? I am unfamiliar with this, but would be down with some VF-25S Super packs for cheap.
-
Still no response from Nippon-Yasan. At this rate, my damn Super pack (which was ordered from Big In Japan via SAL) will be here before the Valkyrie is. Gonna submit yet another ticket. Here's what I said: "I am very disappointed to learn that my Bandai YF-29 Ozma has been delayed since I preordered and paid in full back in February. I would like to ask what Nippon-Yasan intends to do about this in order to continue to earn my business? I do not feel that it is fair that while I paid for my order in its entirety, I am now having to wait an unspecified time period for it to be fulfilled because other customers did not honor their commitments. What is the expected wait time? I feel that some measure of compensation as a sign of good faith - specifically, expedited shipping - would be appreciated. Please advise immediately. Thank you." Now, call me crazy, but I don't feel like I am out of line with anything here.
-
Day three with no response back from N-Y about he shipping delay. I just don't see doing business with them again after this. It really burns me up that I paid in full back in February, and now they won't even respond to my question as to when they might expect to be able to fulfill the order.
-
I got the same email, and I am angry since I already paid upfront. I was all set to get it <$200 shipped, and now they do this. It really makes me not want to do business with them if they can't honor a PAID IN FULL order. I wonder if there is any way I can get some kind of leverage for compensation here...
-
Utterly gorgeous, and I'm not yet a huge fan of the YF-29. This one is totally doing it for me, and I'm so glad that I preordered.
-
Seconded. I am very excited for mine to get here now that I know it's finally shipped.
-
Well, that'd certainly push me into "must have" territory for this Valkyrie. Because I am a design scheme fanboy.
-
Still no shipping notice from N-Y yet. I think I'll inquire what's going on. I placed my preorder on the very first day they went live...
-
I am still bothered by the tailfins in battroid mode. The fact that they are just hanging there seems kinda... well, lazy to me. Everything else about this is appealing.
-
Gorgeous. I think this is my favorite VF-25 next to Ozma's.
-
Yeah, I placed my preorder on the day that they went live, and I still have no notification... Hmmm.
