TrickyCustomer Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 26 minutes ago, HardlyNever said: I just got mine yesterday, pretty similar experience (I've only done 4-5 different valk types). This one is definitely tough, it honestly took me almost an hour to go from fighter to gerwalk. Had to look at several videos, haven't even done battroid yet. The good news is, I think you can skip the hardest part of gerwalk (connecting two pegs into a bracket) if you only want to go to battroid. The vf-31 looks significantly easier, but I won't get to try that until the Arad version is out. That's crazy! More a puzzle than valk then. I'll be sure to keep the patience on standby. I think once one is in battroid mode it will stay as that. It's kind of strangely annoying when a valk looks good in all modes. Means you have to buy two or three just so you can be happy with them on display. Otherwise it would get frustrating to choose which mode to put it in. Plus if it is difficult to transform then that's even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I want to get a 262, but I’m waiting for a Ba variant. Either Bogue’s or Mirage’s from the movie will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Maybe they're going to wait another year or two on the 262 and do a "renewal" version? Eh, probably not. The VF-25 made sense because it sold so well... spending more money on a mold that didn't sell well probably wouldn't make the accountants happy.

If they re-use the majority of the parts, the new mold costs could be kept quite low. I think the major candidate for a re-design is the complicated wing winging assembly, which could be re-done with just a few small parts (leaving the wing and body panels themselves alone).

spanner Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 heck, I don't mind waiting for the other characters 262's if they do a renewal version considering they have only released one of them so far.. it does need a bit of work. but if they don't then wot evs, I'll still buy them as is.
