I also think it is a bit to far forward, I believe it is something related to the 2 seater, otherwise they can make the seat thinner...

I heard people say about BP-8 many times, but what is the issue with it, they breaks? Thrusters are now clip to the backplate, and a little peg on each of them to lock with the backpack, so I don't really understand why they need to add the big folding hook.

It is a 2nd release, I didn't modify it... but I remember I have to force fit it a little bit in the first few transformation. 90% like the 1/48, a bit tricky in the swing bar area. Everything holds tights together, I like the new FAST pack attachment design, very solid! It can support the weight of the whole Valk, I have a feeling that Yamato will come out a new lanch arm to hold it upside down!!! The biggest surprise to me are the stickers!! It is so thin, non reflective and conform to the surface very well!! No sling is included, but attachment point are there.... so may be.... accessories pack later?

lol, I was thinking a tilte for this pic, may be adding some warm light and make it look like sunset?

Battroids Roar Pilots Gun Pods

sure!! busy tranforming them!!!

Material used and texture is way better than 1/48, sureface looks smooth, and both the Valk and FAST pack has darker color compare with the 1/48. Loads of tempo printing!! would be perfect if they also have Roy's name printed. Looks like the sticker sheet has imporved, I may use it this time. All missle can attach tightly to the wing, will not pop off like the 1/48 and 1st SV-51 Ivanov Intake cover and landing gear are a little bit too diifficult to open since the gap are so small, but sure it is not a problem. Nosecone is not that short!!

Box and Contents Everything looks so sharp and clean!!

It will be mine within an hour or 2, yeah!!!

Yamato and Bandai are different, me and you are different. Just like I don't need to pre-order anything and have them mailed to me, and normally our store will have them on the same day they have released in Japan. I use rolleyes just because I GUESS you didn't read the topic. I don't care if you say Mattel or Herpa is making this VF-25, I will still give the same reply if I wish.

this is from Bandai...

Congrat!

Rainbow canopy is gone?

The one on toysdaily got the yukikaze marking....

I love them both but for toy version, YF-21 is slightly better..

YES

Yamato said they had overcome this problem on the 1/60 vs 1/48 page!

No doubt I will be getting this when it hit the store!!

Are these Revy YFs and VF-1 in the same scale?

nice, looks like Millia is just landed and getting off the Valk!!

, I don't see this as a problem, they are expensive toy, better handle it with care, there is no prize for doing it fast, but it will cost you some good money if you break it...

practise make perfect!!! I managed to do 2 full transformation cycle within an hour!!!

Those were the days
