There was no way I was gonna use that awful included stand.. That's clever, and gives me an idea of drilling the holding arm of my stand so the draken could be even closer to the sv-262.

The Tomytec kits looks great and I got all the fighter kits, but I didn't really like the chunky battroids. Maybe I've developed an unrealistic battroid body image from the more recent shows.

Yeah, Tomytec certainly altered the proportions quite a bit, though I do like the flatter look of the fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Getting the missile pods was click into place was a bit trickier than I thought. Thanks for the placement tips @wmkjr and @derex3592! Here's a quick shot, I'll hopefully have time for studio shots this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tried using the display arms that came with the Lil Drakens with a YetiStand w/ peg holes? The pegs on the display arms don't seem to fit into peg holes in the YetiStand, could Bandai have made the peg slightly bigger? Please let me know your findings.

Atheonyirh Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yeesh. Finally got my Lil' Draken set in. The outer left leg pod was quite a pain to get in. Finally had to carefully shave what seemed to be excess plastic out of the tooth on that pod to get it to snap in like the others cleanly did. Kind of sad they didn't include a set of posed hands just for holding the sword, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 consider us teased! Tho i think many possibilities exist with this set. In addition to the lil drakens, you will have sword poses with or without the drakens...or with voltron? hahaha..just joking saburo...

chyll2 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The 262 expansion keeps getting sold in Mandarake while the 262 actual toy are not (even with 17k pricing). It looks like waiting it out to get cheap is a bad idea. I really want one just for the Leg missile compartment plus what it adds to the valk making it looks complete and create illusion that it is slimmer.

jenius Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It's still super new while the SV-262 has been out a while... I would guess the price will come down a bit but then again, maybe not many retailers stocked up on the li'l Drakken when they noticed they weren't selling the actual DX toy very well.

wm cheng Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Anyone gotten their Lil Drakens from NY yet? They shipped mine EMS out Sep 30th and it took the next day to reach Osaka (Dispatch from Outward Office of Exchange) and then there's been no other entry since then. I'd think it would have a Canadian Post Office entry by now 9 days later? Its not NY's fault but I hope it hasn't gotten lost in the mail.

jenius Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 My Tyrant (Patlabor) shipped the same day, same shipping method, and it arrived Thursday. Both arrived to the US at the same time. For me it's Los Angeles customs that's a total crapshoot. If I choose EMS I get to bypass that and I think go directly to San Francisco which is a billion times better.

Mommar Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 LA customs is utter shite. Laziest bunch of inconsistent a-holes. Shipping EMS pretty much forces me to deal with them in addition to my incompetant local Post Office. One of the other reasons I prefer UPS/Fed Ex (though their competencies seem to be declining rapidly.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx31 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Benefit of living north of Chicago is that Customs here seems to be fairly top tier as far as getting things processed and on their way. My Tyrant and Lil Drakens were delivered two days after A-E shipped them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Got mine last Friday. And only now I got the time of opening it and tried it on my Draken. And I have to say I really like the missile pods on the legs. It added a nice 'bump' into it. Btw, I didn't had a hard time of putting it. Though I'm not so sure if it's going to stay on and not popping out once I transform it to other modes. And lastly, I don't think I'm going to use the Lil Drakens in other modes. Will mount it in Fighter mode ONLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I only wanted the missile pod. Saw a 9000 yen used item on Mandarake and order that. I originally planned to wait it out but it seems that there are less supply out there (might be due to less order taken since interest on the 262 itself is not really high in the first place).

Saburo Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Fighter mode shots processed. Hope you like them. As side note: This is the 2nd Valk to draw blood from me when setting up for a shoot. Edited September 12, 2017 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
