derex3592 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 that's hot! ...in other news---got my shipping notification from HLJ today! As for the whole option parts deal---no big deal to me...I still have plenty of extras that I got from our good buddy EXO's resin run a year or so ago..and frankly..they're every bit as good as Yamato's.

typhoon Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 You know the more I see this Valk the more I'm liking it, I have one on the way - time to double dip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm glad to see somebody put the packs on it. Too bad they're too light colored to look good with it. Cavaliers needs their own special packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 So was there a screw up at the factory or was Yamato too lazy to make a new 30th sticker that made no mention of the option parts? Going to be tough getting these parts if Yamato decides to "fix" the problem for customers missing these parts...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not a big deal for me, but they could've changed the 30th sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not a big deal for me, but they could've changed the 30th sticker. They should have just left out the blue band label and ONLY put the round 30th Ann. sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Has anyone asked EXO if he would be willing to do another run of his "option parts"? Seems there is a fairly large outcry for them around here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 mines in the warehouse gonna pile them up before i get them shipped. Not in a hurry to have them in my hands.

ff95gj Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Holy crap that is an awesome picture. Do you have one with the all 3 in fighter mode? Thanks! Sorry that I don't have them in fighter mode yet... Decided to keep them as a battroid squad at the meanwhile. Bad lighting... Wrong background color... Anyhow... Just want to say they fit very well.

Jasonc Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just got mine in about an hour ago, along with a DYRL Hikaru 1S and a Fokker 1S with extra parts. Gotta say, I don't think I've ever received 3 toys at the same time. It was like Christmas today. Overall, I like the Cavaliers version. It's a bit darker than I thought, but not bad looking at all. I wish it came with optional heads, as a 1J for this would've been preferred much more, but I can definitely live with it. After these, I really realized that my little office is running super short on space. Closet is maxed out, IKEA display cases are maxed out, and I barely have room above the IKEAs for anything else. As we're moving soon, I'll have a dedicated room for these, but man, It's gonna be a tight fit now. Gonna have to start putting these in moving boxes soon.

ErikElvis Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 IKEA display cases are maxed out, and I barely have room above the IKEAs for anything else. Im with ya. I think this is the first time I got 3 valks at once. And my ikea things are pretty much stuffed including the top as well. I don't know what to do with them. I have a 1/48 in woodland armor standing on the kitchen counter and Vf-27 grace sitting on the dining room table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time that I see Yamato let the "T" crotch unfinished on an assembled toy. Maybe they have started doing that, but how are the crotches on your 30th 1S, paint matched or metal? Or only the Cavaliers has unfinished crotch like the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikElvis Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ok just got around to messing with it. I think my favorite mode is gerwalk. The light shins and red on the wings make it look good. And Im usually not to into gerwalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 After an hour in traffic in 101 degree heat to FedEx and back...... As JasonC mentioned...it IS dark! Anybody else notice the odd spelling on the inside of the box??? I like it...if nothing else...because it represents a bird seen on screen for like 2 seconds and it's a $100+ toy with an animation error of where the kite logo is on every other Valk! Gotta LOVE Macross! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) LOL! That's why they delayed it for a month. 1st "Lets add option parts", but forget to add them. 2nd "Oh Sh!t, we forgot to add engrish to the box" People all these pics make me want to release my toys from the HLJ toy prison. On a more serious note, the paint scheme is a lot darker than I anticipated, but that's OK cause she is still a beautiful bird.

The Roy 1S has matching color, just like the original, just with no damn fast/strike packs. Grrrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
