Found a forgotten pic of my Valkyrie Factory 1S with the clear covers installed. 

What's the consensus on the quality of these versus the Fugu? Anyone have both?

I have the clear set somewhere...I'd just have to dig it out since I never opened it.  Maybe when I'm not as busy lol  But yeah, I have both the v1 and v2 FUGUs and, I like them both.

VF still sells the clear set, and the strike pack too. Makes for good mixing and matching between VF and Fugu releases.

I never did buy the VF stuff, but I was thinking about looking for one just to open so I can leave the original as is :D

Same. Valkyrie Factory stuff is the knockoffs rich wives have made of expensive jewelry they keep in the safe at home. 😄

I would buy some if Arcadia never reissues some of the older classics like the VF-1D Virgin Road valk, the VF-X, the Cavaliers, VF-1J cannon fodder/mass production, etc etc.

Problem there is that they would probably never produce those designs anyway.  All they seem to produce are the most common and popular versions that Yamato made in the first place.

Yeah. That's why I said "if."  It would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath on any of that.

Interesting. In looking at the different sellers selling Valkyrie Factory stuff on AliEx at the moment, the one that still has the clear covers (as well as strike packs) now has a PO up for GITD stickers for the Yamcadia SDF-1 to make it closer to a PF, as well as mini valks and destroids to scale for it. That's irresistible.

When I first opened the link, I was like, "what 18 Euro for a bootleg of this size, yeah, I'll have to try it regardless of the potential lead hazard". Then I realized the price is actually for the stickers. 🤣

Yeah you have to actually look at the listings carefully on some of them on Ali Express. A seller on there has what looks like a DYRL non weathered VF-1S Max, and the first couple of pictures look like it would be what you'd get, but the last two pics show a v1 Yamato VF-1A. It's rather click baity...

Very click baity. Noticed it's pretty much the same with other items by different vendors.
