Old Man Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I bought this from Angolz like two years ago and totally forgot about it in the closet. So it is kind of like recent purchase I guess. Hey dapro, is that the version with the rainbow tint canopy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 it is just like you've hidden some money and found out years later that you did it (though honestly, the chance of it happening to valkyrie I purchased will never happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapro Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 David has so many unopened valks. He is like a store inventory! I noticed there is difference between the older v2 DYRL Roy and the 30th ani. one. The older one has rainbow canopy\ flip preview box\ 2 tabs on each side on the box vs. 30th ani. has clear canopy\ no flip preview on box \ one tab on each side\ newer crotch like 1\48, and optional parts. The 30th has better QC (no shoulder crack), but I digging the rainbow canopy. So I am displaying the older roy and 30th goes back into the box as MIB.

Gakken85 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yeah the rainbow is underrated. Most I have seen are unpeeled. My Roy combo set has a rainbow and I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I got 5 vf-1 with rainbow and all looks great. I am not sure where all the complains about it pealing and cracking comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am displaying the older roy and 30th goes back into the box as MIB. save that 30th valk. that's the only version of roy with the newer 1/48 style crotch. small print run. the rainbow ones with the old style crotch were reissued several times over so it's very common. that 30th keep it stored: you got a gem Edited March 18, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapro Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Thanks David, will do. Glad I got another from Gak to display. So it worked out. This forum got great members! Edited March 18, 2015 by dapro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I like the rainbow tint too, but unfortunately my Weathered DYRL Roy has a tiny peal at the rear of the canopy. Not a huge deal, but I wish it was on one of my other Valks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I really wanted a rainbow canopy. Too bad, it is rare now, if only Arcadia manufacturer can perfect the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I figured I could find a console sooner or later, but for less than $30 I figured I'd jump on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offswitch Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nice pick-up, ChaoticYeti! Always been interested in the game, but don't know any Japanese whatsoever.... Is it possible to play still?

calubin_175 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I was bidding on a RVF-25 Luca Renewal + Super Parts and Ghost Set last night and was utterly surprised that all 3 competing bidders where using a proxy service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublepush Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This little guy is tons of fun. I've been wanting a hand held valk to mess around with for a while now. But the super parts. My god. I know I cheaped out and got the CF parts instead of Alto's but color me thoroughly impressed. This thing just has so much presence now.

Story is a little harder to follow, but do-able. For example hanger is just ハンガ (hanga) Edited March 19, 2015 by happy_spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
