happy_spike Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 We received 4 new additions to our family today! Now, I finally got to see why everyone is moaning about the V1 Yamato Valks. And I would have to say compared to my V2 Roy, I can absolutely see their point. But I still love them! They still display great and for $25 each delivered I'm very happy with the purchase. If I had paid what they tend to go for I think I would have been disappointed. The transform wasn't as painful as the V1 Frotier Valks and my wife has a VF-100 (my god that was torturous to watch) so in comparison I think they are fairly manageable.

Scream Man Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 ok here are some pics! it has been brush painted on but I really like that as it gives it a real "out in the field" weathered look! Along with his other Skull repaints that we've seen already, Scream Man is pretty good at this! Im not keeping this 25 for myself though.. this is going to my son. Sorry i didn't see this and all the replies to the plane from before. So this was a 25F that I had that had the peg in the wingroot break when i put the tornado armor on it. So i bought a fresh 25F and thats what on my display now. BUT, I had this lying around so I figured id see how painting it works. Spanner is being very sweet, i just gave it to him since it was more or less a mistake. The black head was because I kept stuffing up trying to match the pattern already there. i whitepainted out the SMS on the wing, but the longterm plan was to ginish whiting out the SMS markings and then adding NUNS kites and Skull logos. Never got aroun to finishing, but Spanner liked it as is so its all his now. Maybe I'll take a crack at another one if the dollar comes back up and they get cheaper again.

spanner Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hehe! hey that's cool! I can't thank you enough for all the cool stuff you threw my way! Its a shame the 25 broke to begin with but on the other hand its good it broke and you replaced it cos now I have it! Well my son will be taking it along with the 171's but at least you know they all went to a good loving home! The paint job looks really great too! and the panel lining is fantastic! Really adds to the whole look! The Alto colors make a perfect donor Valk for it I must say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Oh man. I just got the deal of a year. I wanted to wait until I got them in the mail... but I can always take pics then too haha A 1/60 v2 DYRL Roy and a 1/60 v2 Hik with Supers + 2 Yamato stands for $160 shipped Should have them next week Edited March 6, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) The fella that made the deal with me transformed them and said he saw no issues - so I hope the shoulders are good. But at that price I can always get replacements. I had a 30th DYRL 1J that I sold thinking the Arcadia's would be just the same - only time I've sold something and semi-regretted it. This deal helps a bit Basically I had an SOC new in box that a guy promised me for a super good deal, and the guy selling these wanted that SOC, so I asked him to ship the SOC to the other guy for both 1/60s and the valk guy threw in the stands for free. I paid $160 to the SOC guy. The SOC usually sells for 250+ I think it's the silver stands but I forgot to ask.

I've been posting on this forum for a few years now, so I feel dumb for asking ... but what's an SOC? And if you didn't have the SOC, what would the second guy have sold the valks for? Did he just really want the SOC real bad? And more importantly -- where did you find these guys???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Soul of Chogokin. Bandai robots. The guy offered to sell me one cheap months ago, ($150) but I never took him up on it because I don't collect a lot of SOC's. The other guy wanted that specific SOC and was selling the valks. I asked the other guy if he'd still honor the deal and if he'd ship it for me to the other guy. The other guy agreed to the trade and threw in the stands haha. Contacts! haha Edited March 6, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing short of amazing! I didn't fare quite as well. One of the "MISB" items I bought was so scratched up, it may as well have been "muddied, inked, and sand blasted". Seller seemed like a nice enough guy. Gave me a 50 buck refund. Harumph. 2 more items were similarly not as described but I've just recently informed the sellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
