    I'm also wondering if the need for Super Parts is relegated to those of us on this message board. It does seem like, if anything, anybody who wants a DYRL Valk also wants the Super Parts though. Other then for Max and Milia's 1J's I'm not sure there's as big a push for TV versions.

    There was a point in time where they did bring up the fact Peter's parents were some sort of special agents who were killed and he wound up getting caught up in it. In the Ultimate-version his Dad was a scientist. They've kinda cherry-picked between different universes with this one from what I can tell. It's not so much "Daddy issues" as it is that he never knew his parents and is curious about them.

    I think the movie looks good but the costume does not film well at all.

    I wonder why they've pushed it back?

    I guess it makes sense to re-release both Roy and Hikaru's Valks as they pretty much always sell out. The VF1-A Cannon Fodder though... that's always on sale at HLJ. It's like they can't get rid of those things. Why re-release more? And why would HLJ agree to sell them? Unless at this point making the VF-1's is so cheap for Yamato that buying them and letting them sit on shelves and sell for $40 is actually making HLJ money now. And why not pack all of the DYRL Valks with the Fast packs? Unless they've totally given up on making them, which would make sense considering we really can't buy them individually from anywhere anymore.

    Have you seen that other shop Veef referenced in his VF-1 replacement shoulders thread? Maybe you would have better luck with those guys?

    Even with the dim lighting that is a far darker shade of blue. Still looks good, just different. Right now I'd say it far more resembles the actual animation it's based off of rather then that much lighter shade of blue we saw in earlier pics. Either way, if it looks like this or like the earlier photos I'm still happy with my pre-order.

    If you've got the money to spare investigating this other place I think, at the very least, it would be an interesting discussion/comparison academically. We may find a better way to fix/improve/create new parts if we all know the differences/strengths/etc... of the various types of shops out there.

    I don't have a problem with the raised portions along the surface but the basic shape/proportion of the cruiser is completely/ridiculously wrong.
  10. Mommar
    That is the most sane size chart where everything looks consistent I have ever seen.

    Pat 'em down for weapons before you let 'em in the door, Kicker.

    I dunno about that. I'm perfectly happy with plain vanilla fighters. But in DYRL ALL of the Valks had them on more often then not.
  13. Mommar
    That is interesting. I did not know that.

    I was wondering that same thing. Why bother with a DYRL 1S Hikaru or Roy if you're not going to have super packs for them? I believe the CF should also have black stripes down the forearms too. Oh, that's the other thing. These rereleases have the improved crotches too. My 1S max is crying out for an improved crotch so he can be more stable in Battroid with the strike packs on. That being said... I'm not buying another one.

    How is this not a good example why a re-imagined animation could be just as good/entertaining?
  16. Mommar
    I suppose I would think that too if it weren't for the fact this is #14 VF-1 for me. I was perfectly content to wait for this one to finally arrive. I may not feel the same way about the 171 I have pre-ordered with them though.
  17. Mommar
    It probably had something to do with the fact that it didn't ship until the same day other people's 1D's were arriving at their homes. Once it was shipped it only took a week. Shipped Last Thursday, got here yesterday.
  18. Mommar
    At this point in time you either pay through the nose for a separate set (and you will likely only find the DYRL style with the Strike packs) or get lucky and find a Valk that comes with them. Fast Pack's are not easy to find on their own anymore which I find odd as it seems more and more people are searching for them. I know my need/want has grown as my collection has but they're harder and harder to find. On the plus side they're all interchangeable and work regardless if your Valk is SDFM or DYRL. If you really felt like it you could have one pack be colored like SDFM and one like DYRL is you really felt like it. Also, my 1D showed up from ishop2go yesterday. It took them a little while to ship but everything turned out alright. Also, I've discovered cutting up decals with an Xacto knife is a pain in the ass. The side panels look cool though I noticed on the left side of the valk the panel sits flush with the chest plate but on the right side it's a little off and leaves a gap. From any other angle I cannot tell if the chest plate is slightly crooked but I will say that left side looks good with the panels sitting perfectly flush.

    Actually, if enough idiots keep saying it wrong the term does officially become flapes if only because nobody will know the correct way to pronounce it. I'm about ready to start shooting people who say/type "wala" instead of "voila" as it's becoming far too common an occurrence now.
  20. Mommar
    I do and plan on getting the D when it's released as well.
  21. Mommar
    Which is easy to do because the design sucks and needs to be reimplemented.
  22. Mommar
    Bend the Ankle all the way back then all the way forward. You should hear three light clicks. Both of my 25's do this.
  23. Mommar
    I would describe the resolution as unsatisfactory.
  24. Mommar
    This video highlights the four parts of the armor that aren't colored correct on the Alto at about 10:40 in. That little diamond bit on the chest and the two intake covers are colored white like the rest of the valk when they really should be colored the same as the crotch armor to present symmetry and color coordination like in the show. That would make a huge difference in how it looks, though losing that darker border along the bottom would also help.

    The front to back on both the 17 and 19 is awful and can lead to the joint popping apart in some cases. If the 25 has no ratchets then I'm curious why the ankles on my F and S both click as I adjust them forward and back?
