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. Quote

Makes for good mixing and matching between VF and Fugu releases. Quote

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 Quote

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

All they seem to produce are the most common and popular versions that Yamato made in the first place. Quote

Radioguy Posted August 11 Posted August 11 (edited) 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. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809172465008.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809083776895.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807497365316.html Edited August 11 by Radioguy Quote

Then I realized the price is actually for the stickers. 🤣 Quote

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... Quote

sharky Posted August 22 Posted August 22 A tiny valk attached to a launch arm one can stick to the side of an ARMD would be perfect. Quote
