  1. At least it has a nice nose? Haha Cheapest on amazon.jp for me as a local. Will think about it but I'm not that keen... The "tank" mode looks like an Alpha fighter in gerwalk mode.
  2. I have my Hikaru 1J in battroid mode and absolutely love its lines. No guns, no fat packs. Just pure valkyrie. I remember queuing up at Akiba on release day to get it, was a quaint experience as it was the first time ever for me to queue up for a hobby thing.
  3. I love the flaps on this thing.

    I finally transformed my 0D to fighter mode for the first time and I'm in love! Have always preferred two seaters. I like how it's so solid and "swooshable" in this mode. This is now my second fav toy after my OG yammie VF-22S. Do think that 1/100 is my fav size now. I still wish for Bandai to come up with a YF-21, but after not liking the fighter mode planform on both the HG kit and Chogokin versions, I'm okay if they don't ever. The inaccuracy and short forward fuselage really irked me lol, because it's my favourite valk design (well, the 22S is, but same same).
  5. I didn't realise it was 1/48...thought it was 1/60. This is my first ever VF-1! Picked one up yesterday at the store. The funny thing is that they took a picture of my face at check out. Maybe to avoid scalpers? Not sure how that works. The queue was also an interesting mix of old dudes in expensive suits, enthusiasts and tourists. The box is nice, but it's still unopened. Edit: No lottery involved, just rocked up and bought it.
  6. Haha yes, that's right.
  7. Glad I still kept a single VF-22 Gamlin from my collection of 12+. The fighter mode on the older ones can't be beat. Still interested in this one though. Have also PO'd the 1/100 Hi-metal one. Not complaining as a big fan of this planform.
  8. This so cute lol, I really like the proportions of this bird. Had to sell most of my valks due to moving to Japan, only retaining a single 22 Gamlin. Two months in and I bought a VF-4S MHR 🤦‍♂️
  9. I am currently living in Tokyo. Hit me up if you have any questions.
  10. Hope they release one quickly, I sold mine recently due to a move and would like one since it's my fav valk design ever. Still have a gamlin 22 though! Edit: Don't mind a Hi-metal too.
  11. Kinda prefer the colors on the A over the AX. I want grey. I need grey. Give me all the grey.
  12. CDjapan. They are still releasing them fortnightly. They sell out really quick though.
  13. Picked up a CW 1/72 F-14B JR along with a couple of 1/100s. Will crack the Turkey open once the DCS module goes live!
  14. Yeah got mine from CDJ due to the price. I still love mine, and is solid to transform too. Such a massive leap over the 171s.
  15. Wow, I might spring for one of these as I rarely transform my valks. Just picked up a JR F-14 from them to celebrate the DCS module release(25 year dream!).
