Yeah HLJ was only open for about 5 minutes. Which is an eternity when it comes to DX preorders lol
-
Got my two so I'll have four Alto YF-29s come October/November. Can't believe it's this much hassle to buy a slight revision of a nine year old toy.
-
Order stop at HLJ.
-
Got one at HLJ. 23000! Woohoo!
-
AJ scalpers down to 40990. What a discount!
-
NY 24010? Lowest price my ass.

I ordered a VF-31A from them a long while back. After the release date, they said they "didn't receive enough stock" and canceled my order. They tried to offer me store credit and I told them hell no, I want a full refund. They obliged. A week later they were selling VF-31As marked up to like $500.

AJ scalpers down to 41880. That's free market competition for ya!
-
I don't trust Nin-nin game to actually deliver on anything.
-
Preorder button popped up again at Amiami at about 2:50 AM (local time). Took a few minutes but managed to place an order.
-
Yeah, like their super low Kakizaki DX price. And their website doesn't crash because no onec an get on it because of that stupid waiting room ticket BS they have.
-
Scalpers already started on AJ. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0897ZW6HZ
-
HS also sold out. Never even saw the preorder button despite constant F5ing.
-
Clicked preorder at Amiami, site died, now it's sold out. It's 2020 yet these sites operate as piss poorly as a website from 1995.
-
You have to ride the wind to get a preorder in at HS. Most of us just break wind when trying.
-
I hope it's molded with a matte finish. That would be icing on the cake along with the other improvements.
-
That looks awesome! Great job!
-
Awesome pic! Well, I said I was going to finish the SMS squadron, and that's what I'm going to do. VF-25G WIP. Now I remember why I put off doing this for so long. Bandai valks are a PITA to deal with. After this one, there's still the RVF to do...
-
The VF-31A is a nice bird but I would not pay more than 30 or 35k for it, and even that is really pushing it. The secondary market prices for a lot of this stuff is nuts. But if you absolutely must have every single 31...
-
I've learned not to praise Bandai for anything until after it's actually available for purchase.
-
1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Ready for action! -
Yeah, gotta use some kind of topcoat so your work doesn't rub off with any handling. Fully loaded.

Thanks guys. This is a valkyrie I've been wanting to spruce up since I first got it, as it was one of Bandai's first truly modern valk toys (i.e. no glossy finish). It's not hard to do. Just pick up some Tamiya weathering kits and some Q-tips (I prefer the cheaper Wal-mart brand as they're less soft and better for application than the name brand) and then go to town! If you're worried about messing up an expensive valk toy, just practice on some cheap gunpla kits first. I always wondered about that leading edge. I was never sure if it was actually supposed to be grey or was just some weirdly rendered CG weathering effect. The alternate paint schemes posted earlier did not help that assessment. I did test it out with some weathering kit and it worked pretty well at lightening up the leading edge, but ultimately decided to skip it. It wouldn't be that hard to go back and add it if I change my mind later. Also, I mounted the gunpod on the wrong spot on my earlier pics. Doh!

For that price it better be a real working space helmet.

I had that once. It was called being a kid. Unfortunately, during that time I also couldn't afford to buy all this cool stuff or do all those wonderful things that money lets you do, like traveling.
