no3Ljm Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It had pictures, but the title said PLUS EX and didnt had the box art to verify which it was. also the pictures showed a dark blue paint job, when the box shows a dark greenish paint job. here is the link. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/4449-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-171ex-nightmare-plus-ex-regular.html Actually, that's the Cannon Fodder ones. Even if they have a wrong title, they did show a photo on it. And since there were just two VF-171 releases prior the 3rd one which is the Maruyama version, this is the blue/green photo-confusing cannon fodders. This is Alto's VF-171Ex page over at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/1688-dx-chogokin-macross-f-frontier-vf-171ex-nightmare-plus-ex-saotome-alto-custom.html Which is also Plus Ex on their product page title. Anyways, good luck. Let us know what's NY response on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This arrived yesterday (along with my additional 2pcs VF-19Advance and 1pc VF-171EX Murayama) Did Grendizer ever ride his Spazer like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 hehe! the little thrusters at the top of those big booster packs look like they were lifted straight from an Apollo service module! Overall this thing looks pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had a nice photo setup so I could take nice pictures like you do Grendizer is Iconic and its simplicity is what makes it awesome. From the looks of it you have good setup for photos, with some better lighting, you'll be set. I have some photos I took of some Grendizers.

Anyways, good luck. Let us know what's NY response on it. Thats pretty much what they respond to me, so i guess im stuck with it. Now i got another problem. I opened it to inspect it it came with this scratches all over the plane. There is a crack between the legs, like something was being yanked with a tool or something scratches alog the wing, like it was used. everything is packed in its original state, but the valk itself is full with this scratches. was this normal on the cannon fooder release?

ArchieNov Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't recall having that many scuffs on mine, but I think my wing had a small one out of the box. Pretty minor though and not really noticeable unless I look closely. But trust me, if your triangles are still doing fine (and it looks like they are), then consider yourself lucky in terms of QC. Some people have reported that broken out of the box, and a lot have had theirs crumble over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I don't own any 171's, but from what I was reading from post of other members a good majority of the CF had scuffs/scratches right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Great purchases everyone! @Mr Bomber Sorry to hear about that. But I really can say that the VF-171Ex CF color scheme really looks bad-ass compared to Alto's white. Are you going to keep it and just get the Alto later on?

My thoughts exactly, thats why i picked it up, i found the alto theme overused with every model of the latest valks, but i might get one eventually.

Yeh I much prefer the CF colours. But too bad the CF colours has so much problems (scratches, and breaking parts). I decided to get the Alto Ex in the end. If they do release a fixed version or another colourscheme I may be tempted to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundam@EFSF Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nice start!!! Are you planning to get some valks from other Macross series? Feel the Yamato stuff is a bit outdated... Even the VF-1 of Arcadia is not up to standard... The only option is VF-0 series? Should I get 0D or coming 0A? Which one belongs to the main character?

Should I get 0D or coming 0A? Which one belongs to the main character? They both "do", but if you wanted Shin's " hero" valk from the latter episodes you'll want the VF-0A. If you can swing it you should pick up an 0D aswell. Fighter and gerwalk modes look unique compared to the other Zero's. And don't forget Roy Focker's VF-0S that is on its way.

Even the VF-1 of Arcadia is not up to standard... Do you have a VF-1? The 1/60 V2 VF-1's are solid toys. If you like SDF Macross you should give them a chance. I am sure it will lead to many more.
