Zx31 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I like most of the suit designs and characters in 00, but there's just something about the story that keeps me from really enjoying it enough to want to finish it and I can't figure out what it is.

Shizuka the Cat Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) YAY! I found a faculty member willing to sponsor my proposed dissertation research topic idea! So excited... I might actually be able to graduate in 2 years! To celebrate... I kind of ordered a Yamato 1/60 VF-11B. See... it was not a frivolous purchase... it was a one=time, celebratory purchase. I had a justifiable excuse... really! Why doesn't anyone believe me?! Oh yeah... my HMR Hikaru VF-1A arrived today. I could not get the leg armor parts to attach initially. Realized it was due to them having attached the back plate to the side leg armor piece in reverse. So I removed, swapped, reversed, and re-attached the back plate for both legs. Kind of surprised how Bandai is doing some sloppy work with this release. Also... for some reason, when I look at my HMRs, I feel a bit Jewish. It's like a minora made of Valkyries and Tamashii stands. Edited May 18, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrunner Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Just received an order from Mandarake (YF-29 Ozma), and found out that the valk is missing one of the intake covers (it was supposed to be unused, but opened, with no mention of any missing parts). I have another used YF-29 coming that I think can provide the spare cover if I need, but am still cheesed off about getting a flawed item. Has anyone had any similar issues with Mandarake in the past and were you able to get to a resolution with them? I'd love to know. Thanks!

Sanity is Optional Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I got a used VF-171EX Alto from them that had the cap on one of the wing hinges broken off. Didn't complain, as it was cheap and hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 That’s a shame, I’ve never had an issue with missing/damaged pieces from mandarake. Though I’m not sure that I’ve bought anything that was opened. I try to stick to the “not opened, package damaged” items. Unfortunately they’re items are sold “as is”. You may want to contact them anyway. Maybe they will make an accommodation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote back with the hope that they might address the issue, but I won't be surprised if they stick with the "as is" clause anyway. Hoping that they'll recognize this and give me some "goodwill" considering the amount of purchases I've made over the last few weeks...

Sildani Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Valkyrie Factory, actually. Look ‘em up. They sell knockoffs of old Yamato bits and pieces like those transparent Super part covers.

It’s the KO version of the super strike parts set that someone had talked about in the other thread. The only difference is that mine came with the clear parts. Quality is ok but this is really meant to be an extra set for my VF-1A and I won’t feel bad about putting the Kite logo on the boosters. FWIW these aren’t that cheap compared to the super parts set in the market if you have the patience to wait for the right price. I was merely curious about the quality of these and wanted them for the clear parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Just grabbed this from eBay - it was 40 miles away from me the whole time! I'm very pleased - I like the design and the transformation. I finally have a use for the Nightmare Plus Super parts I bought months ago too! One of the few Valkyries a certain Feline doesn’t own yet too. I like it a lot. Off to get a Yetistand adapter for it though since the one that comes with it is a bulky eyesore. Edited May 19, 2018 by Sildani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Nice pickup -- that one is a safe bet, unlike the Alto with the craptastic plastic wing pings syndrome and the always beautiful but craptastic CF version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuka the Cat Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Why in the world is the men's version cheaper, when the women's version uses less material? Where is the logic in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
