Gotcha
-
The show or the Valk designs? I actually like the designs myself. But I can see why other people might not like them. My heart will always belong to the original VF-1's though.
-
Thanks for the info. @Rhubarbarian while I do like the cannon fodder color scheme I'll probably avoid it since it sounds like it has the most problems.
-
Awesome! Thanks for the info. @borgified and @Chronocidal I'll have to read through the other pages and try to get as much knowledge as I can before pulling the trigger.

Was thinking of trying to get the VF-171EX (Maruyama Version) of this Valk but reading the reviews gives me a little pause. I like that version because of the Itasha graphic on it's back. What's your guys overall opinion of the Maruyama version? Does it suffer from the same issues as the other VF171's or is the juice worth the squeeze?
-
Woah, that's even more completist than I even thought
-
-
Awesome Display! -
I'm beginning to notice that as well. Hopefully the trend continues like you said.
-
I don't think you have enough Roy in there LOL Love the display. I need to get a shelf system like that. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?
-
It would be hard to buy only one Valk. I just got back into it and already have 4 I'm probably going to start hunting around for a Roy VF-1S DX soon.
-
That Arcadia is so brilliant white it's making me squint LOL.
-
Sounds like the movie version would be the better one to get
-
I noticed there were two releases of the DX VF-31F. What's the difference between the two if any?
-
I read the review on Anymoon.com and I said, "I gotta get that". It's one I really miss from my old Yamato collection.
-
I really love the fighter mode of the SV-262. I've heard it can be a bit difficult to transform between modes, is that true?
-
Really like the color scheme on this one. I just got my VF-31S and the armor set to go with it. Haven't had a chance to take it out to mess around with it. Stupid life always getting in the way LOL.
-
I have a VF-0S Phoenix Premium Finish coming. Can't wait to have it in hand. I used to have the Yamato version years ago. I wish I had been able to keep it. Sounds like this one is more improved though.
-
Yeah those DX are expensive. It's hard to collect them, especially with so many great designs. I'm hoping to be able to at least get the ones that I really like. I don't need to be a completist. Thanks for the welcome, feels good to be back into it.
-
I'm lucky enough that I live in a area where the crime rate is pretty low and my house is not close to other houses. There's a main road but it's set back enough from it that it doesn't stand out. The police station is only a half mile down the road as well. So basically everything I get delivered gets left on my front porch
-
That's nuts. That figure isn't even that old. Gonna have to be careful with my white Valks
-
Slap some sunscreen on it before you do
-
True, it's more or less that I think it can be avoided if using the right kind of plastic. We pay a pretty good price for these so I think they should be made with quality materials. Plus it's not like we leave them outside or mistreat them. They should be able to withstand a little indirect sunlight from the window or being taken outside for pictures from time to time.
-
That would make sense since it seems like only portions of the valk itself yellows and not the entirety. I've even seen one's that will have one leg yellow and one that's fine. That tells me it's the quality of the plastic they're using in production. I'd pay a little more to get plastic that doesn't yellow like that.
-
It's amazing to me that they can't put a UV protective coating on the plastic to help keep that from happening or some other solution. These things aren't cheap, even if you can get them at retail prices they're still expensive. They aren't for kids at that price point so they know they're aimed at the adult collector.
