Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!! -
Gee that was quick! Someone offloaded their copy already! There you go Noel! You can cancel your backorder with HLJ and buy it from Mandarake! Hehe!
-
wooot! can't wait to see the gorgeous pictures in this book! tracking says eta Tuesday next week..
-
Speak of the devil.. yep Just got mine now! Hehe!
-
sooo.... anyone who made payment for this book receive a shipping notice or anything yet??
-
I sincerely hope they do a re-issue but it would be crazy mad if they also did the TV version too! How friggin insane would it be to have both on display side by side!
-
looks alright I guess..
-
yeah I'd say about 20,000 yen..
-
those displays look awesome derex!
-
Cool shot! maybe you should have borrowed Jenius HMR VF-1 with the broken off arm to perfect the shot! hehe!

I have to agree with Pedro, the Flight Pose stands are good, quite cheap each and represent great value for money! Some people have reported issues with toys sticking to the stalks rubber end caps after sitting for extended lengths of time and in some cases the rubber caps pulling paint off painted surfaces! but I have about 90 Valkyrie's and about 40 of those are sitting on Flight Pose stands and never had any issue. The Yeti Stands are much better as you can achieve more radical display setups and have multiple Valkyrie's on a single stand (FP stands can only support a single Valk) but they are quite a bit more expensive.. but for good reason.
-
was temped also but May 2017 release!? think I'll just stick to the Valkyrie's..
-
oh yeah! my Yamato lot would either be gone or boxed up and hidden away out of sight! hehe! pink and legless! no wait.. that's scary not funny..
-
completing the Delta Valkyrie collection is gonna take a while..
-
could you imagine an all brand new SV-51 with the build quality & sturdiness of the VF-0S or better! gasp! just thinking about it makes me wet in the wee wee!
-
Awesome stuff Pedro!!! It's amazing what a difference three short years can make!
-
nahh.. the last of those brands I had I sold off a while back now. only got a handful of AA, CC, TSM & ERTL left.. and who knows maybe even most of them will go too!?
-
yeah its a half dozen pages which is ok I guess but still deserves its own book.. surprised they didn't do a book for it straight after the VF-0 book..
-
Hehe! Same here!
-
True, as with others in other masterfile books but it was only a relatively brief mention.. And seeing that the SV-51 was the other 50% of the Valkyrie action in the series I think it deserves its own book.

Yeah the Pontiac G8's were a nicer looking car than the VE Commodore's they were directly built from. I like the nose job they did on them. Much more interesting than the conservatively styled Commodores. Many guys down here would have the Pontiac nose fitted on their Commodores as a result! And some with full Pontiac badges applied! It would always make me to a double take when one would roll past dressed up as a Pontiac! Considered buying one such example but at the time they demanded too high prices. And the Pontiac also got better engine and suspension tunes than the Commodore. Many who drove both versions said there was a noticeable difference in how each drove and it was the Pontiac which was the better. Lucky yanks! VE to VF was a huge improvement so that would directly translate to the Pontiac to Chevy SS! You should go give one a drive! So how does your Subey feel with the tune compared to stock? They fly as it is so I I'd imagine yours is a quick bit of kit! Any plans to go to an even higher tune? I'd love to get my SS dyno tested as I have heard a few rumors about the specified versus actual engine output from these LS3's.. Holden claim 407hp (at the flywheel) but some say its "actually" closer to 435hp! The word is Holden do this to greater differentiate the model from the 455hp HSV Clubsport as apparently the LS3 motors are dropped in basically unaltered from the HSV counterparts with the only difference being the HSV using slightly larger diameter header pipes to achieve the higher output and noise. I'll wait till mine had a few thousand km's on it then take it to a dyno place and find out for myself. My father and I drove one of those Alfa 4C in the UK and it felt quite good! Wasn't much of a fan of them initially but slowly they have grown on me! Though would I ever buy one? Probably not.. Oh and nice edit! looks scoopalicous!
