[Golden Arms]

I have to work out of town the remainder of the week, and won't be able to mine until I return Saturday.

[Dobber]

Awesome! Mine is also out for delivery! Much better than Thursday!

[skullmilitia]

Woohoo! Thanks FedEx! Two days early!

Now to get home a swoosh properly!

[Lightning]

Mine shipped on 28 from HLJ and learned that by the end of the year EMS takes tooooo long to arrive. Probably I'll see it in January second week if I'm lucky.

Have a 19S on the mail since the 22 and it is still have not touched Mexico yet.

I guess I should go FedEx next time I order something that gets released late December. Oh well, it will get here eventually. Enjoy your VF-4's guys!

[CoreyD]

Mine just arrived today. Pretty awesome!

Decided to forgo the almost-but-not-quite FB2012 scheme for a lov vis Skull Squadron setup. Sometimes those leftover VF0 stickers come in handy

[Dobber]

Damn, that looks good. You had me excited that it had those Dark skulls at first. Oh well, come FedEx get here already!

Chris

[Dobber]

WooHoo! It's here......

..."I'll be in my bunk"......

The review will be coming soon but for now here are the pics.

[Mommar]

Anybody who ordered from NY get theirs yet? No updates since it left Kansai Airport on the 29th. EMS shipping though.

Both of mine are held over in Japan right now. The 171 parts made it over in three days. My 17D and 19P are sitting in LA right now. But NY was too slow with the two 4's.

[derex3592]

First impressions out-of-the-box....this is Yamato's most detailed Valk I have seen to date. Feels good in hand. Good size and weight. Quality piece. Only minor nitpicks so far.... Nose gear does not lock into place like on the VF-1, and the pilot is too loose in the cockpit may have to glue him in or something. Here's some pics...

[Mechamaniac]

Just unboxed mine! Bravo Yamato!! And....Bravo Nippon Yasan!!

[Lightning]

I'm having just one problem beyond the usual missle and pilot problem that's been reported. I can't get the leg/hip section to lock together. It wont close together enough to get the tab to stick in the hole on the underside of the nose. I might have to watch the video again.

[Kicker773]

Am thinking of a third once my stuff is getting sold.

anyone thinking of a third??

i have a friend who got 5 at a go! wow!

[Dimis]

For those of us still waiting, B_A_T has done the usual photo review

[skullmilitia]

I just whipped mine out, what a beauty and a beastly valk.

It's the small things, like the rear control surface, which is part of the trams formation

Can act like air brakes, the all 12 removable rockets, and over all

Solid feeling if the model.

Such a win!

[slaginpit]

still waiting for mine

and seems the ebay seller for my VF-171 super pants parts has stiffed me saying he cant get it from his supplier. I HATE EBAY!

[Lightning]

ok, got it to lock in place. I like the bugger, I really do. Might have to fix most of the missles except the ones for the nose landing gear in place though, having them pop off is really annoying.

Other than that, it's been worth the wait.

Btw, which one of y'all is "Pinoy78" on Instagram?

[David Hingtgen]

That'd be UN Spacy.

[Dobber]

David, it is possible to angle all the control surfaces to be parallel. I'll take a picture for you.

Chris

[David Hingtgen]

Ah, but will it look intentional/seamless?

[Hikuro]

Ya know I could of sworn when I ordered mine it went automatically to FedEx and I'm just EMS sitting in Japan since Thursday. Probably wont even see this till next week I think. Not cool for 50 dollar shipping. Just wait and see.

[troyness]

contrats everyone who's recieved, happy new year, mine's about 2 days away!!

[Jasonc]

Got one of mine today, and well, HELL YEAH!!! This toy is awesome! The weight, feel, and size of it is just amazing. The engineering is top notch. Great release from Yamato.

[neoexcaliber]

I actually love the pilot sculpt for this one. IMHO the Macross Plus/VFX is the best design for me. Macross Zero is a very close second.

[Chronocidal]

Well, sadly I think I was a tiny bit too late telling hlj to ship... won't be getting mine for probably another week or so. Oh well, least I got confirmation that my super 17D and 19P shipped, so I'll have something to warm up the drool factory while I wait.

[ron5864]

$449 on eBay if you had missed the VF-4G boat earlier. That's painful. At least this includes free shipping from Hong Kong.

[eyesonme78]

kicker.. how many exactly have you got ?

hahah

[Kicker773]

Ouch.... Anyone have ideas for a backdrop for this thing for display?

[EXO]

wrong scheme but who cares!

[Kicker773]

a few It would go nicely with my Megaroad ship. I snagged a few from HLJ and NY. I will probably receive them next week. No rush still trying to find space to put them. I know my post man loves me LOL. But I did give him a bonus for his awesome service =)

Suggestions on size. I'm going to ask a guy who did my Avengers Back drop for me to create one for this...

That's the homeword for this weekend... rearrange the 1/60 identical to the Yamato display, all in battoid modes and hopefully I can free a shelf up

Happy new year guys.

This is probably ridden with typos but it's late and can be fixed in the future because the future is now.
