Valkyrie2008

It's nice to see everyone pile of loot, here's my share. It's been a while since I bought anything. I should sell some of my old stuff instead of just collecting.

Just got Messer and Keith yesterday, didn't realize how skinny they where until seeing it myself in person. The DX VF-31 Valk feels really solid in fighter mode, on the other hand, DX SV-262 feels hollow compare to the VF-31. Although, I like the nose gear on the SV-262 more than the one on VF-31.

For some reason when I see that, the name "Elvis Valk" comes to mind

So, Elvis IS alive! haha

That color scheme looks pretty good, but now that I have the DX Keith Valk in hand, I'm not sure if I want to another DX SV-262, because these's just too many gap with the connecting panels in fighter mode and I personally like fighter mode the most of any valks. 

Saburo, your photos stunning as always and I do notice that you always improve yourself. 

Wow, talk about  surgical proceedure, glad I didn't have to perform that task. 

Finally had sometime to play with MP-36 Megatron. No orange plugs from AE.

Aw, thanks - they're new at IKEA, I think they blend in quite well

That's a lovely home you got there. Once I hit the lotto I'll have one too, guess I better start playing. 

HLJ payment request received, I'm a turtle, will pay later, no need to rush.

Premium got Tampo they put on

Regular got stickers you put on.

Got ya, thanks!

Man, you guys are so impatient to have your plastic-crack in hands. 

Slow and study wins the race?

All these years I said if they re-released Max and Millia I'd double dip on a second one of each and now they're finally up for PO and I have unemployment looming.  I'm skipping these.

Sorry to hear that bro, I used to double dip too but now I have three babies so I could barely afford one or the other. I'll try to get Millia and Max since that's what missing in my collection.

NY and combine with premium Roy to also save on shipping seems like a slam dunk. 

I'm new to this, what's the different between the Premium version and the regular version?

Guess I'll nab one from NY then. I've notice there's no paypal fee added to the order for any preorder items, but once the item become available, paypal will add a fee to the order. All other sites, paypal automatically add there fee without tell.

Does anyone else notice there's two different shades of red? Maybe I should wait before I PO this.

My wife actually ordered it for me from her account because she was helping me on preorder night. I wasn't able to get one but she did. Unfortunately, she hasn't been checking her email . I noticed it was about to come out and forgot I never got one, didn't think much of it but asked her to see if she got any notices. Mailbox full of notices including early release and cancellation for failure to pay. I'll get one but yeah, it's going to cost more than NY. 

My wife don't even let me order one, let alone ordering one for me. On the plus side, your wife's a keeper 

Well I passed up the original release, because I didn't wan't to start collecting the new 1/60 scale, I was so happy with the 1/48 scale. Now I will have to cough up the extra dough to get this M&Ms.

What seti88 said are also what to consider, but for me, a couple of valks should be ok. I will however, compare which shipping option will be best.

That is so cool!

You could make an RC of it, too bad I don't have the time for it anymore, but will definitely save this for future time.

Well said Master Dex, and that's exactly what i'm doing also. Once both the SV-262Hs and the VF-31F are available at the same time, I will ship them both together to save on S&H.

Since this is now official, let's make a dedicated thread for M&M.

Hmmm... M&Ms 

Since I skipped out from Yamato's original release, I quest I could pick up these now, but it will be at a higher premium of course. When Yamato stop producing Valks in the 1/48 scale, for a while I refuse to pickup the new V2 1/60 scale, so I missed out on a lot of valks.

1/48 scale shall forever live in my heart

It was just the other day I went to order the Lil Draken set but on checkout it worked out to exactly half the cost of what I paid for the actual Draken (including shipping) and I found myself unable to pull the trigger on it.. Yeah the parts are cool but im just not sure if I want them enough to justify their cost. 

it comes with two ghost with retractable landing gears, that seals the deal for me. I'm a sucker for good landing gears.

That's for Megs and shipping combined? If so, that's the best deal I've heard of. I ponied up $225 for him (my rationale was overwhelmed by squeee), and hindsight being clearer, I wish I'd waited for the inevitable reviews in case there were issues, which there are. Anyway, good job finding a great deal!

yes, Meg is $139 + $24 S&H = $163

I for one do not like the VF-31J, because of the colors.

The SV-262 didn't strike me at first, but it quickly grew on me so I pick one up right a way.

Mine just shipped out from AE for $163, not bad.
