I also got shipping notification from NY yesterday. And yes the Hikaru pilot is too small and doesn't fit sung enough in the cockpit and always wants to lean to one side. Similar issue to the YF-30. The gun strap on mine also has a mold mark but it's not too bad. In my opinion the gun strap is the crappiest part of this Valkyrie. The rubber strap looks and feels awful and isn't long enough. I also don't like how it needs to be removed prior to stowing the gunpod in fighter mode. That's a small design fail.

I love the slide and lock mechanism on these! Much better than the YamArc v2 pull and swing design which could and would easily brake.. First Time I transformed this one I was enjoying sliding the arm bracket up and down! This is nice I thought!
-
Yeah I know, I thought it was shame that it wasn't designed to be able to keep it fitted.. Partsforming is a b!tch of a thing.. even if it's as simple as a gun strap.
-
Hehehe! Yeah let's not..
-
I reversed double back flipped and reordered one from NY and today got preparation notice. Hopefully they ship it out soon..
-
Hikaru don't budge now!
-
The wider stance rear landing gear is such a win for me! The narrowness was long time gripe on the yammies..
-
Heading there now!
-
I just noticed that the middle thruster nozzle on the back pack can move! Cool!
-
Hehe! Nahh.. don't care about the votes. Just being silly with my.. Valkyrie

This guy can be very cheeky!

I'm going to double sided tape the pilot figure in place as it's bugging me too much when it constantly moves about.. Also, it's a tight fit having the gunpod strap fitted when it's in fighter mode. Surprised they didn't account for that a bit better. Unless I'm doing it wrong somehow? And I'm loving the fully articulated fingers! LOL!

Sucks about the wing flap.. also, is that scratching next to the hard point?

Mine Just arrived! First off.. I love it! It's mega! The size and heft give it a good feeling in the hand. The tampo printing all over is just great! Very happy with it and looking forward to another two arriving! Few small niggles.. the intake covers don't fit in very well and pop out if you touch them. The front part of the cockpit canopy doesn't lock down well enough and the wing flaps on mine want to drop a bit. I think the pilot figure is too small and doesn't sit in securely enough. And the gunpod strap at the business end keeps falling out but that was easily fixed. But they are only small things which don't bother me so much. I think this thing is just awesome! Could this line replace my v2 YamYams? No I don't think so. But... I could easily continue collecting the 1:48 DX line! Very easily indeed!

Gahhh! I want this thing so bad! Hopefully it arrives today.. fingers crossed.
-
Skip to 1:50 to get straight to the good stuff!
-
That is gorgeous!!!
-
Great review! Hopefully mine arrives by Friday!
-
Same here!!
-
That's a shame about the intake covers but still glad to hear you are happy with it! Maybe there is a way to make them a little more secure somehow? So jelly that some of you guys have already received them! CDJ still hasn't shipped mine.. ffs Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on it! I'm already starting to wish I had managed to secure three of them but I'm sure that won't be too difficult to achieve after the release has settled down and they start appearing on the resale market. Fingers crossed of course.
-
hopefully it was caused by careless handling and not a design flaw..
-
I have some points to redeem at CDJ and hopefully more once they ship my VF-1J so I will hold off till they list it.

(1) I certainly bloody hope not! (2) Superglue!
