sierra-ii7 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Firstly, Valk009 I have every intention of geting 1 - 2 of your VF-4 Resins. Secondly curiosity got the better of me and I had to check this out, I fully expect the order will fale / their site is not updated or a similar excuse Thirdly this could be a dodge kit, dont know the indformation is pretty sparce. For those interested: Resin VF-4 $54.99 http://www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/macross-robotech-item-list-a-z-c-35_152/macross-vf-4-valkyrie-resin-model-hobby-kit-p-134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefuemon Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I've heard that this is a 3rd or 4th generation recast (recast of a recast of a recast....), and that everything about it is horrible. You're much better off waiting for Valk009's kit if you're interested in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coronadlux Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Why? Are there problems in customer service, or do they bootleg poor quality models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Poor customer service + you may never get your kit. Not advised. At all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yup MiM = bad in both quality and service. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrhino Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The one time I saw that kit in person in their shop, it looked like a cast/recast of the Hobby Base Retppu vinyl kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Valk009's kit will be top quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrhino Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Valk009's kit will be top quality. Agreed! I have one or two of Valk009's kits. Now I just need to build them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coronadlux Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm sure they will. Valk is getting a lot of positive feedback. I hope to get 2 once he starts producing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Valks stuff is better imo. There've been stories of horrid customer service and bad casting jobs from MIM, some not so much on this kit, but others. I've also heard that while you get "quick shipping" and all items are "available" they actually have to cast your order which takes a month or two depending when the caster wants to get to it.

ahiachris Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'd ordered VF-4 and VF-11B from him. I'd met Valky in person. Nice guy. For what I know is that this will be the third run of this VF-4 release. He won't be able to make it the second time if the quality of his product were bad.

Grayson72 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Had this POS from MIM, don't even bother, all prior negative statements are 100% accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Noooooooooooo!!! avoid like the plague, no matter how good you are working with resin MIM VF-4 is a lost cause and a ripoff Valk009 VF-4 recast is amazing, highly recommend. I got two but never got around to working with them, my skills are not good enough for his kits, lol Edited September 14, 2012 by Valkyrie addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got two but never got around to working with them, my skills are not good enough for his kits, lol I'm getting me 2. But with all the positive feedback you guys are giving him, I might get me 3. My skills aren't even close to tackling the resin kits, but I figure, if I mess 1 up, I can make up for it in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks guys for all the thumbs up, this means I cannot fail now and have to keep up the good work! My success does not only lie with me but also my friend and his workshop with all the equipment, so I will extend all these praises to him!
