I hope so too.

The wing flap is popped out of place.  Haven’t even taken it out of the clamshells.

This sucks.

Bandai seems to have dropped the ball on this Valk. Bent head lasers, some have posted shoulder joint issues and now the stabilizers. 

Keep us posted if you can get a replacement!

Got Bandaid.  

The arm vertical stabilizer is busted.

Packaging itself is undamaged and shipping was top notch.

I hope I can get a full replacement or an arm with said stabilizer.

That fracking sucks man!! The same stabilizer on my 21 doesn't lock correctly and looks like if you applied to much pressure could break it, a bad design vs. Yamato IMO. 

I truly hope you can get a replacement!! 

My newest additions! 

We watched Beverly Hills Cop Axel F over the weekend, personally I loved it. It was funny, exciting, some cool shootout scenes too. The original & new cast members did a great job, it gets a bit goofy here & there but still all in good fun. Kevin Bacon is always a delight! 

First time in a long time that for 2 hours I was glued to the screen, I didn't feel bored or the urge to look at my phone. Eddie Murphy is a national treasure, and it was awesome seeing him in this role again! 

Hi everyone, besides getting my DX YF-21 the other day, I also acquired a Yamato VF-22 Max a few days ago, after watching @jenius Anymoon.com transformation guide, I'm a little hesitant about transforming the Yamato into Battroid (as well the Bandai DX 21.) 

So, my question is, which toy has the more complicated transformation, Yamato or Bandai? 

Thank you!

Wow, what an episode!

Definitely one of the better battle scenes in this series or even GoT.

Okay, had some time to fiddle with it. Going from fighter to battroid wasn't too bad at all, other than kinda juggling everything while you move everything into place.

Going from battroid back to fighter was another matter. Getting the panels to all line up and lock back together is a hassle. 

I think I will keep my second copy to keep it in battroid mode permanently. 

I still think the Yamato has a better looking fighter mode, but Bandai's looks pretty good too.

For battroid, Bandai is definitely better.

Took a couple of quick fighter pics.

You spared no time in painting the landing gear white, it makes such a big difference in its appearance. 😎👍

So who's picking up the HMR VF-4 reissue?

This is why I appreciate & use AmiAmi, just like Mandarake, they don't skimp on the packing supplies for a safe shipment.

My YF-21 finally freaking arrived from Nin nin game. No busted head laser! Thank goodness.

Same here, mine just arrived (Via AmiAmi) and 3 days earlier than DHL estimated. It's a big relief that my one and only didn't have any damage. 

For anyone who ordered from AmiAmi, mine just shipped yesterday and should arrive next Tuesday, so yours should be on the way as well. 

It's good to know that the Head-fin can be removed, I have zero faith that mine won't have damage either.

finally got mine

One for each mode... Nice!! 

Season 2 has been really good so far, looking forward to next Sunday! 

@Wewyllenium Are those replacement parts strictly for the VF-25 or do those work on the YF-29 as well? I need to replace a broken part on mine.

Well, AmiAmi wanted 8200 yen for 2-4 week air parcel, so I asked to change to DHL for 600 yen more...  (EMS was even more than DHL this time) 

Same here, going with DHL was the easiest choice. Luckily, I had some points saved up with AmiAmi so that came in handy!

Mine's intact, thankfully. 😌

You can always do it yourself...

My Yamato is a little more restrained than the tampo on Bandai's. 😅

So, of your two YF-21's, have you drafted a pro vs. con list of the two? 

My DX YF-21 is on the way & I just managed to nab a Max VF-22, so for me it will be fun to compare the two. 

P.S. Your collection never disappoints! 

What's up with the rear landing gear? Those wheels/tires are facing inwards, not outwards, not transformed correctly? 

Yeah, that Beta/Tread pic was posted some time ago, I remember because we all pointed out how the wings were installed upside down, the hard points are facing up. 

A shame to think that this may never see the light of day and the MPC will be your only option. I was still hoping for a Sentinel Dark Legioss too.

Now we're talking!! Do we know what scale it is? I didn't see it mentioned on the website. 

A true Legend of the cinema & a career that is one for the ages. RIP Donald Sutherland.

Wanted to but just barely winding down the Father's Day festivities...so going to postpone watching until tomorrow....any good?

Off to a good start, it appears to pick up pretty much right where season 1 ended. It's good to see familiar locations again, I'm looking forward to next Sunday. 

Did anyone else watch House of the Dragon tonight?
