Kanedas Bike Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you live in the States and many other countries, Amazon.com.jp will not ship toys, and relevant to this discussion, Macross items to you. You have to have a proxy buyer. If it were that easy, affiliate or not, most of us would probably have a ton of stuff via Amazon. -b.

Shukenzero Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 thanks James! was scared for a sec. i got 3 altos 25 still sealed, it's time i open one up. Always open up the spare! Otherwise you're only collecting nice-looking boxes! I'm always afraid of scratching em, so I choose the less well painted valk to transform.

spanner Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Mine arrived today! Finish quality looks quite good! Loving the paint scheme! Looks so much better in the flesh than from pics on the net. Blue paint edge on the spine isn't quite consistent but other than that no major or silly defects to report.. overall im extremely happy with it! Will see how long it takes the misses to notice another Valkyrie sitting in the collection! I can see it now.. "oh really! Another one!?"

Kanedas Bike Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 My first YF-25 arrived yesterday from AmiAmi, but I'm resisting the urge to open it until the two I ordered from 'another' store show up. Call it a weird mix of OCD and paranoia that I can't open one of a 'thing' until I have all of them. Until then I'll just keep looking at everyone's pics. -b.

Mechapilot77 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I LOVE the way this deco calls to min dteh YF-16 deco...orange vs. red but its a reddish orange but still. love love love it in fighter mode. the ironic part is that from the front view it looks (if you squint hard enough) a tiny bit likts its competitor the yf-17 (which we know today as the f-18 hornet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Saburo, God of Macross Photography. close313 you are too kind, thank you. because of saburo, many MWF folks now wanted one hehe.. just wanted to contribute to MWF in my own way. For those that have theirs and transformed the VF-25, were the hip joints exceptionally tight? I had to use much more force (compared to the VF-25A) to rotate them into place when going into Battroid mode.

Hoarder/collector same thing right? Its good that you are keeping the YF-25, now you won't have to go through regret if you sold/traded it.

John Hodgeman once said that the line between a collector and a hoarder is a display case. And that's exactly what I told my wife when I bought some more shelves for this and the 1/48 MM that are on the way... Great pictures, Saburo!

Shukenzero Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Anyone else find the right flap on the front landing gear never sitting properly? I've had it with a number of Bandai valks. There seems to not be enough clearance for the hinge to wiggle, making it jut out an at angle unless forced into the closed position.
