  1. Ok. So I’ve had this for a few days now. I think most criticism has been spot on. I was underwhelmed at the start. That being said, there are a lot of little touches that Bandai did that are really making me like this Valkyrie. For example I really like the head lasers being able to flare out in Battroid, but tuck tight in fighter. I like how the option parts install in easier and cleaner then Yamato/Arcadia. I like the hands, finish, articulation, and feel. I’m not getting rid of anything, but this fella is really starting to warm up to me. Just my 2 cents, but there might be an arc to owning this figure for some at least.
  2. Just got mine. Amazon DHL was amazing fast (and cheap). NY still hasn’t shipped my other despite paying days ago and now their website says closed till Jan 6. Not a fan (I’m sure they deserve time off but considering I paid a markup I’m looking for other options in the future). Just want to echo the other comments on here. Really like it, not sure it will replace my 1/60 collection. One thing that I think Yamato/Arcadia does better is locking in the arms in fighter mode. Mine want to drag down when the gun is installed on the DX.
  3. This looks to be the finest ROBOTECH licensed VF-1 ever made. That being said, I’m disappointed it didn’t include an integrated heat shield. I know, HMR’s don’t either, but I thought the size would have made it possible. Hopefully the build quality is there overall.

    It ended last night in the US.
  5. Posted earlier.
  6. Speaking of that. MS-01 is looking pretty good to me now. https://www.showzstore.com/pre-order-magic-square-ms-01-ms01-optimus-pirme_p0796.html I know this goes in the other thread, but since V3 Prime price has become so crazy...
  7. Sorry. Not trying to change this thread. I know we have others for that topic. It’s just that Bandai and Macross collecting seems more reasonable to me now.
  8. No complaining from me about Bandai DX pricing. Even on the secondary market. Now that I’ve seen how much the new Masterpiece Optimus Prime costs. Wow.
  9. Predications are fun! My turn...I think Bandai will make a great 1/48 VF-1 DX line. So good that Arcadia goes out of business. 3-4 years in...after the competition is defeated and they’ve exhausted the line...bam...Bandai introduces their new 1/60 scale DX line and gets everyone to collect them all again!!!
  10. No love for Max TV?
  11. That stinks. I was hoping they would improve things a little at least.
  12. Any QC improvements or better locking maybe?
  13. This was shared earlier.

    Anyone off hand know what that Japan time equates to US? Yes I know...I’m probably being lazy.

    HMR VF-25s would be cool

  17. Available for preorder at time of posting.

  19. Slept in 3 hours. Got one with Amazon JP. Love how crazy these are.
  20. Wasn’t there something with an “I” or J or G in a word in the last trial in Indiana Jones and the last crusade? Where he steps on stones or something. I need to go watch that movie again.
  21. I heard the VF-2 got a little better, but not good enough. Anyone else know?
  22. I took the bullet and preordered the Zeta today. After my terrible Eta experience I pray they fixed some things on quality. Fingers crossed.
