Gakken85 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Virgin Road Angelbird is maybe the best painted Yamato Valk out there IMO. Looks fantastic in person. Edited October 19, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ugh, I bought even more Legos... I also got in my Figma Armin and Cleaning Levi, Levi's box was too damaged however, so I sent him back. I'll just go without I guess, all I could get was a refund instead of a replacement, I also got one of those bamboo roof stand things.

True true but its pretty much identical to Max's VF-1J but with a different head yeah? Ugh, I bought even more Legos... 20151016_195531.jpg I also got in my Figma Armin and Cleaning Levi, Levi's box was too damaged however, so I sent him back.

Garfinkel Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 @silverstreak good luck with the tightening. If you get stuck (you shouldn't) let me know and i can take some pictures of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your Lego's! Woops. I meant the Angel Bird. That's probably my favorite valk in terms of repaints. The lines on it are so crisp. Virgin road is pretty similar. You could slap some super parts on there... assuming you could paint the back half the same blue and have the super max.

Mechapilot77 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 virgin road is a 1-d....a 2 seater. so not just the head different with the 1j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah I believe it's a bit taller than the Max too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah I believe it's a bit taller than the Max too. Didn't know that till I found this pic from valkyrie addict. Now I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) So differences are; Blast shield, height - due to a longer chest plate/nosecone for the two seater, and head. Also you get the box and the M&M marriage pilots Edited October 19, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Finally gave up on finding the protectbots locally. Amazon was my best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 virgin road is a 1-d....a 2 seater. so not just the head different with the 1j. I was referring to the paint scheme only but yeah physically there are differences. Woops. I meant the Angel Bird. That's probably my favorite valk in terms of repaints. The lines on it are so crisp. Virgin road is pretty similar. You could slap some super parts on there... assuming you could paint the back half the same blue and have the super max. The Angel Bird are a pretty sweet paint scheme yes! The chest and the little plate on its back are also different. Its a little deceiving to look at as the "D" and other variants are pretty much identical from the very top of the chest piece to the tip of the nose cone and overall length when in fighter modes. The "D" chest piece doesn't have the little cut out below the head unit when in battroid which is only so the longer cockpit canopy can be covered completely by the blast shield when in battroid.

anubis20 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Got these in yesterday I was going to get the Halo 5 console but eh.. its themed after Spartan Locke and i only really use my XB1 to play Halo, so i settled on the MC controller instead... saved me $430 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy99 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Does this count as a "toy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Great pickups everyone! @ChaoticYeti, the PE addons make a world of difference on the CW Combiners, especially on Superion. @eggy99, hehe... I consider my lens purchases as "toys" because you have fun playing with them taking shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) @ChaoticYeti, the PE addons make a world of difference on the CW Combiners, especially on Superion. I would also recommend nonnef's hip ratchets so it doesnt have to stand with the legs straight He goes from this on the 1st ratchet click To this: [/url] They are a pain to install but the results are great, here is my Takara version completely upgraded. Dont think i'll get anything else for it. Edited October 21, 2015 by anubis20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I've got the hip ratchet upgrades for Motormaster, but he doesn't really need them anymore now that I have the PC-04 set. I got the reprolabel sets for the voyagers yesterday, and applied them last night. Between all of the 3rd party upgrades, ball joint thickening, and ratchet replacement, they end up being fun combiners. That is a lot of effort, though.

eggy99 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just got this Arcadia in. After handling transformers for a few weeks, it is definitely appreciated to handle this quality of plastic. http://i.imgur.com/Db7lGYEh.jpg I'd love to get just the GBP armor so I could weather it up, and dress up one my VF-1s. A bit of colour tweaking too, so it's more mass production looking - Maybe grey panels instead of red etc. C'mon Arcadia! Just release the armor. And while you're at it, re-release those TV and DYRL FAST packs too! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bomber Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Nice beddings. thx, i thought it looked similar to the fold tunnel on macross plus XD Congrats on your Milia VF-22 Bomber!
