calubin_175 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It does appear that, much like Hobbysearch 1999, HLJ does occasionally get some loose stock(pre owned possibly) and resurrect a listing. HLJ does have a record of stocking some web exclusive items at a premium from Yamato and Volks in the past. VF-22S being one of the worst Yamato moulds, they're selling it at below current market price. Initially, the VF-22S went at a discount of 50%. There are fail products in any line. The Bandai VF-171 is one of them and I am not sure what else to avoid. I have the VF-1J Armored on pre-order but might cancel it if Hi-Metal R gets confirmed. However, I would still like to try out a Yamato VF-1 just to see how good they are as I have not owned one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Talking about VF-22...this is weird. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00169/Sci dang that is cheap! doesn't specify if its used or new though.. if only they had a Max at that price! no matter I have one arriving shortly which is what matters! nope! any plans on getting any of the other 25 lot?

Valkyrie Driver Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I have a VF-19F on the way, in addition to my VF-171 and VF-25F toys on the way. I'm super excited to get them. I hope the 171 gets here before friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw and ime, HLJ doesn't sell any "used" item. They'll sell and specify when it's "B-Grade" scratched/dented/damaged box items, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublepush Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ohhhh I'm getting excited. First order in a little while now, waiting on payment request from MANDARAKE for a VF-19 Kai Hi Metal and DX VF-25A Super Parts (gonna see bow they look bare bones, but most likely painting them in Alto's colors.)

TheCaptain Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hey guy I just joined this awesome forum and got into Macross recently. Picked up a YF-19 from Arcadia and wow it's beautiful! For my next purchase I'm thinking of picking up the VF-0D or the YF-30 I'm leaning towards the 0D What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my next purchase I'm thinking of picking up the VF-0D or the YF-30 I'm leaning towards the 0D What do you guys think? Definitely the 0D. Much much prettier. And huge. And expensive.

Haha I'll definitely look at it that way now. I've read that the DX Chogokin line suffers from loose joints as well. Has anyone had any problems with there YF-30 getting loose?

Offswitch Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Definitely the 0D. Much much prettier. And huge. And expensive. The YF-30 looks like a dumbass next to it in the pics. I second that! Just started collecting myself and having received my 0D recently, it is one fantastic bird. If you can afford to, definitely pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had any problems with there YF-30 getting loose? To be fair, just about any toy will get loose over time if you play around with them and transform them enough. That said, my 30 has been pretty good... altho not as good as the 0D. The 0D is almost at the point of being too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaptain Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yup I've made my decision lol. The 30 can wait and wow it's super small compared to the 0D Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaajin Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Dat 22S's. Love the sleek fighter mode, but just wished Yamato had put in more efforts when they designed the legs (hips area) Regardless, bought 2 Gamlin's. Im a sucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a sucker The 22's fighter mode does look pretty sleek eh! its the only reason why I have them! I guess gerwalk is ok but I don't like its battroid mode at all.. Its legs look too skinny and I hate that head design.. looks like its wearing a hoodie! And I wasn't ever going to get a Gamlin but the one Scream Man gave me is friggin sweet as and I love it!

Gakken85 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 The 22's are growing on me a bit.. but I hate the Batroid mode. The legs are just too skinny, and I hate the hooded effect. Actually, the only VF other than the 1 and 0 that I DO like in Battorid, is the VF-11. *shrug* Even the 25's are kinda goofy to me.. mostly the bottom of the legs bug me on the 25's.

I love the 19 battroid mode! has a tough look and a fat stance! love it! the 11 battroid is good and I don't mind the 25 battroid mode at all actually! Though I just don't particularly care for those covers on the feet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I rarely extend the feet on my Frontier Valks. I think they look better not showing any ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I rarely extend the feet on my Frontier Valks. I think they look better not showing any ankle. But they are so beautifully done ankle joints.
