Shipped today from NY. See you soon VF-4!

My first too, and they honor me by moving the release date up to my birthday 2-24! They shouldn't have. Not really excited about it, I am on the fence about the VF-4, I just ordered one so as to not miss out again. If I don't like it I am sure someone will want it.

I still have my Jetfire x2. I only keep them because it was my first "macross" toys. I had most all the other 1/55's but have parted with them all now and don't miss them. They were cool for the time but then Yamato came along and ruined that.

Props to DarrinG as a trust worthy seller.

Verified, HLJ has put out a stop order on the VF-4G.

Nippon Yasan still has them available. Sucks cause I finally decided to pre order one and I would have preferred to use HLJ, I will be trying NY. Hoping for no shipping issues.

I am not a chunky monkey expert but heres what I think I know.​

No they are not the same. Biggest difference is the Origin release does not have fast packs. The origin of Valkyrie are the latest release of the 1/55 from Bandai.

Unless you are really nostalgic for the 1/55 I would suggest picking up a Yamato 1/48 VF-1S or a Yamato version 2 1/60 VF-1S. Way better sculpt.

I appreciate them for trying out some different paint schemes but there isn't one that really grabs me as awesome so far. May need to see them in action first.

I am with you, I am digging the design, just not loving the paint schemes.

The price be damned, must have!

VF-1J is my all time fav valk.

Just please oh please be perfect transformation, super detailed, loaded with gimmicks!

I don't have any of the Yamato 1/60 V2, so I can only recommend the Yamato 1/48 VF-1S. Don't waste your money on a Yamato V1 VF-1S, the head sculpt is awful.

Is it fate this is shipping in my birthday month?

All of the renewal VF-25 releases have suffered from this problem. I second the nail polish suggestion.

I have quite a few of the renewals and none of mine have loose hip joints.

Nothing says right approach like a shotty racking a slug into the chamber.

I just wet my self.

Would like to buy V2 VF-1J. Would like to especially get one with the fast packs or the anniversary edition with the option parts.

I am inherently lazy, that's why I sealed my Detolf cases to keep dust out. Before that I mainly used a soft bristle vacuum attachment. You know the brush that you put on the vacuum. I did learn the hard way that taking a piece of screen door material and placing it over the hose before putting on the brush attachment was a literal parts saver.. Things invariably can get sucked off the toy.

For light cleaning I always use a paint brush.

Got sick of having to dust my toys too, came up with this idea on my own. Been sealed with the foam tape for over a year now in Arizona (dust capitol of the world). No more dusting for me... I just applied it to the inside all around where the doors sits when closed. It works.

This is funny, I was just starting to think, I want one of the Yamato VF-4. Being that it was rare and somewhat hard to obtain. But now that its going to be produced again and no longer rare, and easily attainable.

Now I don't want it...

Great buying transactions with Plastik and Hiriyu. ​​Items were as described and they shipped fast, couldn't ask for better.

Payment sent.
