I just couldn't wait to get home so I snuck away an hour early! She definitely is a lovely thing! Without re-watching Frontier for a closer inspection of detail and color inaccuracies she still looks perfectly fine to me! I've wanted a Grace 27 for such a long while now and just couldn't bring myself to accept the short comings of the v1 and buy one.. but this new v1.5+ is a pretty sweet thing indeed! The coloring looks perfectly even and consistent throughout and everything appears to line up and fit together properly. Or as good as the Brera variant does anyways.. I swapped out the canopy in favor for the clear and the pre fitted pilot even has boobs which I take it is Grace already geared up and ready to go! I haven't stuck on any of the stickers as yet which I might have a go at in due time. There really isn't much more to be said seeing that its pretty much a Brera in different colors so everyone who owns a v1.5 knows what they are about. Box art is good too. Here are some photos..

Thanks mate! Yep will do!
-
Got postage notification but still no VF-0S up on NY yet..
-
hehe! only way to be!

Parcel has been delivered! sweeeeet! can't wait to get home to see it! *whilst doing the happy dance in my office*
-
Proved too much the temptation eh! Cool! Where did you secure one from?
-
No no that photo relates to the M7 series!
-
Nice collection akteon! Great photos! Dont you think the Cavaliers and Percival look great together! I also have my low vis Roy in SS parts too!
-
Ahhh ok i didnt know that CDJ did that payment option! Or did i? Sounds familiar but hey my mind could be playing tricks on me.. if i do buy from them I'll just pay up front to ge it over with. Also just got order preparation notice from Nippon Yasan for the Zero-A!! Hopefully they ship soon! Now to check if the have the Zero-S available for pre order yet..
-
With courier for delivery today! YES!!!!!! =D
-
You're in the USA I assume yes? Seems you guys get on average a lower shipping charge than to here in Aus.. Shipping for my Zero-A cost me about $38 (AUD) which is a little over $25 USD which ain't a lot more.. Doesn't help the Aussie dollar is so weak at the moment..

1. haha! hey that's cool! I'll be going on the hunt over this coming weekend with my son for some Ube! I have a few places on my hit list so hopefully we get some success! If all fails we'll just settle for Gelato.. 2. No worries! I thought that was the case.. Besides I get myself confusticated over much simpler things anyways! hehe! And yes the new Grace looks mint over the original! hope mine arrives today! Just waiting on a tracking update..

I am tempted but what I like about NY is the option to pay either up front or when it suits me and in most cases with anything I pre-order I usually pay sooner than later so its out of the way and no need to either hold on to the money till release as it could be spent on something else by then or worry if I don't have the funds towards release. And their shipping rates are fairly reasonable.. There might only be $10 max difference in it between NY and HLJ postage fees anyways.. The other option is to buy them from CDJ and pay immediately which isn't an issue as I have the funds ready now.

Wait what!? I'm confused.. its the v1 Grace that has the lighter gray toes or did you mean you prefer the lighter gray toes but the thrusters turn you off? And by thrusters did you mean the super parts? Because they aren't included on the new version.. so yeah maybe i misunderstood your original comment..
-
Hehe! Its funny how much momentum this side topic still has! And the desire to try the stuff is driving me nuts!
-
Yeah that may be the case but it's strange they would wait till after the Zero-A ships.. when other stores have listed them already. It's not like they have to make room for the stock first or anything. In the event they don't list it I'll just go with HLJ or CDJ.. And yes hope we get some notification about the Zero-A today! I have an empty spot in my display cabinet just for it and the wait is killing me!
-
dang! that was lucky eh! Moral of this story.. don't dismantle Valks! unless you reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy know what you are doing.. so in my case then I never will! LOL!
-
lovely! and how Tomcat does it look in this photo!
-
hehe! I'll take your word for it! No I didn't look it up.. much!
-
I don't even think I have either still on my hard drive.. checking...... damn it I still do! You'd think so eh.. but I'd say a few of the company exec's think otherwise..
-
haha! maybe its an intentional thing the manufacturers do to add to the consumer experience! Fix, transform, pose & play! but yeah its annoying nonetheless.. considering the premium these toys demand now days they shouldn't require out of the box fixes.. As much as I hate waiting for stuff to release, they could add another month or two to the wait time and do a little more testing and quality control to ensure the final product doesn't require those irritating fixes. But that would only add to the final price.. and probably not worth their time. Its like they design them so that most of the joints only hold out long enough for a few transformations figuring the consumer will then pop it on display and be done with it..
-
fold booster or did you mean super packs? unless those supers are from Brera's Valk? Did the original Grace come with supers?
-
ahhhh yes that's right! geez I really didn't absorb much from M7.. unless watching it killed so many brain cells in the process! hehe! its a little more worse than just a train wreck.. I think this is more applicable!

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

yeah same with mine.. I tried to gently bend them straight but I didn't want to break them so I just left them as is. Funny how both ours came like that! As silly as it sounds but could it be that's how they are meant to be perhaps?? Yes that stand is just ghastly isn't it! All the Bandai stands are junk but that one I think takes the cake! I have my RVF sitting on a flightpose stand. The stupid large sensor fin makes it a little difficult but it works..
