No problem. But note how the vid doesnt show us how to attach the advance pack to fighter mode. Now we know why lol.

It does. But not sure if you can see how he does it. I usually just pull it straight out though. Mine's still as tight as when I first got it.

Mine doesnt have any problems locking? The fighter nose and battroid neck piece holds it in so i can pock it up by the upper chest and it still wont disconnect..

Didnt the page have pictures? Or did it show the Ex? That really sucks.

Oh that sucks. Was it through an online store or a preorder on yahoo auctions? At least they did refund you though. You're right it has risen. Even a starting bid of 22600 has now gone up to 29000. Yikes.

I wasnt too interested in the Tornadoo pack but your pics convinced me I need them. Thanks guys . Ugh. Sounds bad. I'm afraid the VF-27 Super Part's wings will get stressed due to how much it takes to get those pegged into the legs (ye I dropped the gerwalk hip down one and knee up one like you do with the VF-25s. Also I've looked and I cant find anything in the instructions of the VF-25 armors that tell you how to transform it correctly into Fighter mode with the armors on. Thats just dumb. Especially since they changed leg placement in that mode..

What did you do to get banned?

But theres been rreports of the plastic cracking and the whole thing breaking apart . I wouldnt mind owning one just to see how bad it is, but I wouldnt want to get one just for it to break on me.

Its odd. The legs are clearly bent at the gerwalk joint, yet the lower leg is sitting much higher than its possible on the actual toy.

Wow. That's a lot of Gundams. Reminds me I still need the Tornado Parts for my VF-25F.

Thats true. Just hearing the horror stories of Ver 1 Armoured VF-25S falling apart is just.. ugh.

Kinda annoying. I wanted to use the VF-25 Armoured Part's Reaction Missiles on my VF-19Advance and they dont work...

Ouch that really sucks. Is the YF-19 wing arm thinner than the VF-19Advance's?

They're pretty expensive even on YAJ. From 1yen starting bid they usually end from 29000yen to 32000yen. I wish I had gotten into this game when these things were first released.... Right now Michael's super parts seem to be really cheap (cheapest of all super Valks). The valk itself on the other hand...

I do agree but I like the WWII inspired design. Btw was the Maruyama VF-171Ex actually seen on screen? Was it a blink and you'll miss it thing?

Thanks. I'll get one of the EXs then. Indeed. The Old VB-6 is the only one that has 'normal' decals. I have nothing against the characters. But I dont like plastering anime girls over my mecha/fighters.

Thanks guys . It was but not as much as that VF-25F Alto Armoured Parts... Thats the main reason I'm reluctant to go for the rest. Because Ozma's Armoured parts go for the same or maybe even more haha. I'm not a big fan of the Sheryl deco. I can get the Alto VF-171Ex with Armour for about the same through YAJ so i might go for that route later. Thanks for the suggestion though . But just wondering, I'vbe heard the VF-171 Nightmare Plus has parts breaking and such. Does the EXs have these problems or its limited to the Nightmare Plus? Thanks.

Been playing catch up with the Macross Frontier toys. Probably wont get any of the other skull squadrons since I cant really afford to get into the remold game. I'll probably get the VF-171EX and then move onto Arcadia stuff.

For the most part aside from decal differences.

I dont think its possible. And the canard is not one peice. The forward most part is a seperate piece that doesnt rotate upwards so if you even can angle the canard more, a bit of the canard would be missing.

Mine had a similar problem. A dab of super glue fixed it right up. Wont come off unless I force it.

In normal fighter mode it should be quite snug. Its when you add the Advance Pack/Fast Pack that it becomes more gappy (Can probably be fixed But everything has to be JUST right).

I wasnt aware it was 188 shipped. If so then that should be a good price anyhow.

Yep. I meant recently. Won mine 2-3 weeks ago. If you hunt around should be able to get this relatively cheap since it didnt seem to sell all that well.

Reeally? I've seen it go for 13000-14000yen on yahoo japan a few times. Thats the price I paid.
