locidm Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Mirage the figure and the valk both came. I also got Freyja just to complete the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackconvoy_D01 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Picked up a VF-17s to add to my growing NUNS fleet as a stealth heavy fighter to the group. I always wanted to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just snagged another Bandai Pro-Shop VF-25F off YJA for cheap. This is my 4th clear one. Eventually these will be used as bases for my deculture decal builds. Now just to snag one more for cheap and I'll have one for each of the SMS memebers and 2 for Alto (Ranke and Sheryl.)

kajnrig Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) When did the VF-2SS come out? I've been seeing it around here the past week or two. Chances are low it's still in stock at HLJ et al? It's hit and miss, but I love the curves on that nose...

I've read that Wolvie is better made than Deadpool and Venom put together and that Megs is also following suit. I can see a Fatal Attraction re-creation with the two in a diorama when battling together. After selling off my two Yamatos 1/60 Fast and Strike Roy: DYRL (MK.1) and VF-1J Hikaru with the GBP (also MK.1) when relocating back into YVR from YYZ, I bought this as a replacement after much debate and received it last month on the 15th, got it used as it was a display item.

As requested, sorry it too me so long to get something up. To start, you get a ton of stuff in the box. Everything is painted and very durable. This is a toy you can and should play with. Everything connects together via multiple points and you can make several different combined vehicles. Nothing felt like it was going to break and all of the connection points are solid. Strong ratchets in the knees and hips, the combined robot mode is very stable. Base Mode: For height comparison: This review sums up the Big Powered GV.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Bought a HMR VF-1J. It's my second VF-1 from this line (I have a CF VF-1A). I'm in this line for the Destroids and enemy mecha, but wanted another VF-1. It's a fun toy for its size!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouken Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 9 hours ago, General Rasp said: Wow, the Big Powered is really growing on me. I'm really tempted to get one, along with the extra bikes. I'm a sucker for toys that have removable figures and stuff. Unfortunately, getting the VF-31jKai from NY set me back big time for this year, and I need to give my wallet some breathing space. After that, its the Arcadia SDF-1 Premium, and Bandai will probably spring the other Delta Valks either before or after the movie comes out in Feb too. That's pretty much got my wallet booked. Its a cool toy nonetheless, and I congratulate you on its purchase! I'm sure you'll have tons of fun with it General Rasp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to know that the knees and joints are strong I was wondering how they hold up to the weight of the upper body. I'll wait till after Xmas to pic one up, I have spent too much on myself already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta have at least a few valks to keep those destroids company! And I am just was amazed as @no3Ljm as to where @sh9000 keeps finding those HM super parts.

Some are good some aren't.. sadly I think the manufacturers don't put into consideration people wanting to fit scale figures inside these cars..
