Jungle and Manda has Messer's valk. Jungle: Three choices http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=103000008289 You might as well take the Supers along with it. http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=2408397 Manda: Two choices https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1087857991&ref=list For those who are still in the hunt for Arad, Amiami has one up for grabs for 23K yen. The one on Manda for 22k yen is gone while the 25K yen is still there. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-037574-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Looks like someone has picked up Messer's Supers as list not listed anymore on Jungle; however, there is two more listings for Messer's 31f for a total of 5 choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just posted to show how the radome looks like folded in battroid. The other mode would be deployed radome behind the back in battroid, but i suspect that may be a tight fit depending on how much the wings can spread to make room for the radome opened.

Yes, I was looking for a set of Messer's supers for a while, but those i could find are waaaaay over priced. This set, while still expensive, was much much more palatable. Went ahead to get it as soon as i saw your post. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Woof! Man NY really not inspiring confidence these days. I will say that when the Arcadia Garland came out they shipped it out with all of my other items (that were released in December) right away. Interestingly, all of the boxes except the Arcadia were pretty dinged up so I don't recommend you leaving stuff in NY's warehouse for 7 months. EDIT - they would probably be so much better off if they stopped custom making their own boxes. EMS is a weight-based system, they don't need to shave every inch of the size of the box.. it's silly.

Sanity is Optional Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) FWIW, I bought a Milia Premium during their flash sale, and it only took them a week to ship it out. 6 minutes ago, jenius said: EDIT - they would probably be so much better off if they stopped custom making their own boxes. EMS is a weight-based system, they don't need to shave every inch of the size of the box.. it's silly. I like it, as it helps the items arrive in good condition. NY has some of the best packaging of items, bubble wrap and a conformal box that doesn't let things rattle or crumple.

recon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I would say amiami has the best packaging now as compared to NY. Large box with plenty of room and packing material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm not terribly concerned if the box gets a little dinged up, as long as the toy arrives undamaged. What's unacceptable is taking weeks to ship an item out, especially if I paid for for EMS shipping. Putting something in a box and sending it out should not take more time than traveling halfway around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the outer boxes can take a beating and leave the inside product safe, then I'm good. 3 hours ago, Lolicon said: What's unacceptable is taking weeks to ship an item out, especially if I paid for EMS shipping. Putting something in a box and sending it out should not take more time than traveling halfway around the world. That's one of my pet peeves. It takes umpteen hours to so call "bullet proof" the packaging and they sent it out weeks later and you paid by using EMS and not snail mail. I get that some may go the snail mail just to save on shipping costs, however pricer items are better off going EMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Wow!!! I placed my order on 10/14 and my order number is 391306 and I still have not received any sort of preparation notice but Funkymonkeyjava did. Man I was hoping that NY shipped these out in order of when the purchase was made. I need to email these people again and find out why this is happening.

Valkyrie2008 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just received my VF-31S Arad, unfortunately the left wing is a loosey goosey, it won't lock in and just hanging down. Also, the right thuster is a bit loose too. Seems like someone at the factory been playing with my copy before they box it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'd go with the hex-packs, or the 3-missile trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaferMouse Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 My 31S arrived last week and I've finally had a chance to transform it. Gotta say, whilst I love the design and colouring of the Valk, the finish and QA on mine is worse than my 31A and 31C. There was some debris under the paint on one shoulder edge and some stray paint on the back pack. Also, all the joints seem SUPER stiff. It does look sharp in a black suit, though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
