spanner Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I guess you could call this a toy!? Just finalized a deal to buy this 2009 Honda CB400 and will be picking it up this coming Saturday! There were a few different color options out there but i settled on the more traditional Honda white blue & red colors. Low mileage with long rego and was quite cheap! A far cry from Suzuki GSX-R1000 but i need something a bit more toned down to ride on the street as the Suzuki is gonna end up either killing me or I'll lose my license.. just way too much power for the street. I'll probably convert it back to track only!? Will see what happens i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doublepush Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Those CF super parts on Alto blend quite well.I had considered painting them but after seeing them in person now I don't want to. I have a feeling the CF parts would look good on Ozma's 25 as well but I don't have one, so I can't accurately gauge the color match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiichi Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Arrived today, on my birthday! My very first set of 1/60 Strike parts. Had some trouble getting the backpack parts on (I was very unsure of how far I was supposed to push the connecting piece in, I couldn't find a review that showed it clearly), but once I applied a bit more force it snapped into place nicely. Looks so dang cool! Hikaru's rainbow canopy is still in good shape and he even includes the still shrink-wrapped skull flashlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Finally I have a YF-25, damn this thing is awesome!! The paint scheme & amount of tampo printing alone makes this a sexy bird! Gerwalk is by far its best mode IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaider was an iconic tv series in Philippines. It had even a local remake last 2007, but named as "Zaido" due to un-approved story line by Toei. Anyway, it will never be a huge hit without her sidekick Annie and her famous splits, kicks and undies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbadon Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Cool vintage stuff, garyboy! I love the Shaider stuff! I've been watching a lot more Tokusatsu (Kamen Rider and Super Sentai) this past few weeks, and I can't help but be nostalgic of all the awesome shows back in the 80s such as Bioman and Shaider.

Valkyrie Driver Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Look what was waiting when I got home: I think I now know why people love the VF-25. It's so elegant, and the toy is masterful. gotta say, one of my new favorites. The v1 looks so disgusting by comparison... But the v1 looks ok in fighter mode and so, it sits on the gateguard stand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Driver Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm very pleased so far. She's a real beauty. Now, I do still prefer my VF-19F and VF-171EX, because they are cleaner looking, the Blazer because it holds together the nicest under play so far. Joints are a bit loose in certain positions on the 25 and 171 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Just got the 1S Hikaru from fellow board member mass driver. It's the only DYRL i felt i needed to own and he gave me such a great deal on it i couldnt pay him fast enough I knew i had a set of strike parts stashed around, what i had forgotten is that it was the 30th ver with the option parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had some more v2 valks. I need a 1A, a 1J, GBP set. and then I have all the variants. I also need at least one M&M set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need at least one M&M set. I think this is it for me and the VF-1 as I have quite a few variants already. Nevermind i do have the Arcadia GBP set on PO and that will be it. After that unless they reissue the M&M i wont be getting anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
