Either Bandai screwed up royal on that or it's a hint of a SNN Valk coming out. I like the SSN valk... I would actually pick one up, just because it's an oddball in the Macross flock: a Civilian-Purpose Valkyrie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossAir Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Inspired by tekering just did some minor panel wash to my Destroid Defender und put on matte topcoat. Imho the figure lost much of its toy-like character. Now it looks more like being built from a model kit, especially if placed next to my Frame Arms or MB Gundams. I like that. Hm, now what am I gonna do to my VF-2SS Nexx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, now what am I gonna do to my VF-2SS Nexx? Excellent work! Looks like a high quality model kit rather than a toy now. After some delay, I finally got Nexx. Looks so plain out of the box. Good thing I printed that ridiculously loaded decal sheet when I got Sylvie's unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossAir Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yes, I masked off the headlights. I went over it in several runs. After each run I changed the articulation to cover all spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all good, collectors need to gloat every now-and-then. I was expressing that one of the most difficult to obtain DX’s was shipped by them. And it was the fourth A because I didn’t get my other three A’s from there, I got my fourth one from there. Would saying one of several A’s have been better?

Guyffon Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ordered HMR defender and spartan from NY, and It has been in preparation in progress for 3 days, is that normal? The last time I ordered from NY, I rem ember they normally ship within 2 days of payment, especially for items they have in stock. That said I haven't bought anything from them since the VF-31A fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Corrected price posted not 7,780 yen. That's retail? So most places would likely have their PO price set below 7K, I'd think. I believe the non-super VF-1A and VF-1J from 2 years ago came in well below 7K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
