Yeah prefer the gunpod hatch over missile bays anytime.

Haha well done mate, wouldn't mind that on a Thunderbolt or a sturmvogel for instance.

Hells yeah...we need a sheet of forum decal. MWF livery GO! It would be nice to have our forum handles printed as pilot callsign decals.

For people like us, save the moolah for the Nightmare imo

Quite unlikely we'll see such a low price point. Most likely similar to the Kai if more gimmicks like the opening chest and leg are incorporated.

I'm sure they'll still sell, but a new YF-19 may be a year or more away though.

Hahaha...both my results were highly skewed towards mac7 due to my obsession with the VF-22S, which is weird because I never liked most of Mac7.

Agree, though I've always loved G2's valks but never liked Bandai's offerings till now haha.

Yeah personally I'm pretty stoked that we're getting better products from both competitors. We're the true winners in this.

Wish they would do a new version of the 22 or 21 sometime in the future then, I can never get behind kai's colors unfortunately, even at 50% off. Guess design matters more to me than the toy.

This fit into my toy budget pretty well, as compared to the kai. Do wish they will do a low-vis version if they are releasing other colors.

Thanks Graham, it's looking better and better every time.

Agree, it'll just fly everywhere. Plus more parts to fail.

If you're stuck there a couple of decent transformation videos on youtube you could probably search for. Helped me.

What? Robot Jox was awesome. You can never beat a groinsaw.

I use flightpose stands, but usually have it displayed without one like in Eugimon's picture.

Mine pops off occasionally as well, got me a bit frustrated with my first 22. It's pretty tricky but it's a small price to pay for a valk that doesn't have obvious chunky legs in fighter mode, which is why I love them so much. They have a very sleek side profile and is probably the most successful 3D interpretation of anime magic in Macross so far imo. Would have liked for the backpack to collapse a little more in B mode but that may well compromise the fuselage in F mode.

Yeah pretty excited, planning to get two to go with my pair of Gamlins to form a four ship element. Can't wait!

Don't forget Macross the Ride valks.

As bad as it may seem it's still an improvement over the 25.

Fantastic news!! Can't wait to see the CAD or a prototype. That...thing looks absolutely hideous in real life. I planned to pick it up, but when I saw it at the store immediately changed my mind. Paint spills, cockpit looked so obviously painted on by a 5 year old with a crayon and horrible kibble. Would qualify as a Happy Meal in my mind. As a comparison I liked Thrust and Tomahawk so I'm not biased against TFs.

I really like the left battroid picture. Screams "Come get me, ya punks!", which is kinda not Alto. I'll just make believe that it's some other military pilot with Isamu's personality.

Strange that you post it when the site is down...

Woodlands camo in a forest maybe, powered down. But then I tend to think of them as battletech mechs, which is why I bought them in the first place.

Bandai's YF-29 will be my first glossy valk, if I don't really like it I'll skip on this mold altogether and wait for the Nightmare. If that too is glossy I'll just go and buy more Sturmvogels instead .
