Waiting for my nine orders to ship.  Sorting things out with my paypal preorder to AE so nothing has shipped yet unless Mykombini shipped mine already.

Did N-Y ever have the VF-1A super for sale on pre-order?  Every time I check it says Not Available.

I bought nine VE-1 Elintseekers.

Where oh where is the VT-1 Ostrich?  Don't we have enough supers   I wonder if they'll issue another strike next.

VF-22s looks pretty cool.

Not trying to threadcrap but the Messer looks better kept in the box than taken out.

At least we will see the VT-1 come out after the VE-1 so I can't complain too much

Well I ordered all my 1/55's from Spidey Jerusalem, not sure if HLJ was around back then.

I don't get the hype around ordering from HLJ.  The valk costs a slight amount less elsewhere.  Better shipping prices?

They should've made the VF-1D be the 35th anniversary one with a minmei figurine

I only like valks that were originally released in the anime, so there's my bias.  A purple schemed VF, nahhhhh come on.  I'd rather just get a CF.

Messer's VF-1S was an easy one to skip.

Yup.  I agree.  I don't see collectibility value in it either.

The VE-1 on the other hand, beautiful valk.  I'm amazed it isn't sold out everywhere.

diorama looks really good

Pretty expensive for a 1/60 imho.

Good for you, then.

 

 

I have the wing sitting out in the sun with "retrobright" coating it (actually 40 volume from Sally)  Wish me luck on getting my parts back to white. Unfortunately this involves taking all the decals off and I don't have a spare decal sheet for a 1/60 VF-1A.  I might make a thread about it (even though you guys are trying to weakly troll whilst avoiding breaking rules )

I bought from there too.  These guys package very sharp and nice.

$25?

Most likely a v1, then.

 

I only collect v1

 

 

All I gotta do is get some gel for bleaching hair from Sally with 20% hydrogen peroxide in it, put that crap on the yellowed parts, and let them sit out in the sun supposedly and it'll work like magic to make it white again.

I have a MISB VF-1A that hasn't yellowed since I don't allow the sun to shine on it at all.  Just the one I took out of the box has yellowing on it.  MISB one only set me back $25 shipped

So you love yellowing on your valks? 

Yeah Yamato likes to look like piss.

I love how my Yamato 1/60 VF-1A HIkaru has a yellow wing and random other yellow parts.   Bandai is better to me, none of my Bandai reissue stuff has yellowed.

Well a few years ago Harmony Gold was suppose to get a contract with Bandai to make some 1/55 but that fell through.  We would've had some quality stuff then.  They were going to release the 1/55 VF-1D.

sh9000 I bought one valkyrie from mykombini before.  they package really well.  but this time around I ordered from others cos I did impulse buy I guess lol.  I ordered 6 total.  I still wish they made it in 1/55 but at least this looks like it has good details.

MyKombini has it up now:

sh9000 I still want to see that in fighter mode.  Will it disturb the work you already did to it?

I wonder why MyKombini doesn't have a preorder up

Heh, I'm guilty of buying multiples of every Macross release so far. Actually the only one I have skipped in the line is the Xabungle.

Oh yeah? I was actually looking at that particular model yesterday but I wasn't sure what it was.  It looks really cool though.
