I finally got 2 of 3 of my orders from Japan including a YF-19 full set. :yahoo: My SDF-1 anatomy and papercraft book seems to be lost somewhere between here and Jersey despite coming in the same shipment as the Queadluun. 

Unfortunately, I got a broken head cannon. :cray: Also, the queadluun hip joints are quite loose.  But ah well, now to transform this awesome valk...

Mr. Color lacquers, almost exclusively.  They mix well, dry quickly, and are easily thinned.

Hmm, the local stores I'm looking at don't have it. I see only Zurc. I'll have to find alternatives then...

Got this over a week ago but forgot to post, new Masterpiece Optimus, third party by Transform Element. MP-10 was the gold standard for Masterpiece Optimus, but is quite dated at this point, so an upgrade was needed.

Takara is indeed doing their own official V3 Optimus, but I don't think it's a very attractive package for $300+. This thing is VERY solid, and full of ratchets, very well made, I'm incredibly impressed, moreso considering this is this companies first figure. Also, only about $90 shipped, an excellent deal.

It’s not a bad looking Battroid.  Especially if you leave off the 35th Anniversary stickers.  I did get this thing as Fext Armor fodder.

Nice color scheme. 

Is the heat shield a different color or is itjust lighting that makes it look dardker?

Sorry for the late reply, I got mine from TF-Direct, about $90 shipped and I received it within 5 days, which is crazy, I didn't even pay for premium shipping. They may be sold out, from what I've read the first run of this figure is selling out, but there will be a second run and a lot of sites will or already have, opened pre-orders for the second run. If you are in the US, Chosen Prime has him for pre-order as well, but it's got a mark up on it due to them having to import the figure themselves, they were almost not going to carry it until fan demand got them to order some in.

I didn't notice last night, but the lighting in my house sucks.  I'll make a closer inspection tonight.

Not an new toy post; however if someone is interested (I believe that this maybe the best place for exposure).

Basara's Fire Valk is up for grabs on Manda at 22k yen.

No offense meant. But here’s the best place. ;)

Nice. If I didn't already have one that I got from Mandarake I would be all over this. Lol These are getting rarer and rarer. I love Yamato's VF-19's :)

Bandai "teased" a DX VF-19Kai a few years back....that teaser display is becoming more of a "coming soon" display

When?

All I have ever seen are HMR or HiMetal.

got pics?

I think that's the event where they showed the very first teased prototype of the VF-4 and the YF-19. There were no clear image nor closeups of it. But the VF-19Kai display looks bigger than an HMR Valk. Not sure if it's a Tamashii Event or WonderFest.
