Well done Derex! I gotta say Ozma's colors are the best of the 29! Isamu's is a close 2nd.. In fact I think the Ozma colors are best for both 25 & 29! -

excellent pick ups everyone! -
loving this shot!
-
so maybe that was a little harsh of me.. ok so it isn't exactly crap but it certainly isn't the best looking thing in that mode.. Yeah nahhh not gonna bother with a 3rd seeing as im not so keen on its gerwalk mode and I think I'd rather put the money towards another VF-0A instead.. currently I have two pre-ordered and it might end up being three!
-
For a little while there I had considered getting a 3rd for myself so I could display one in each mode but looking at pics of the 19 in gerwalk I decided against it.. Don't get me wrong I love the 19 but they suck in gerwalk..
-
hehe! again same here! I am only interested in the Monster.. doubt we'll see any of the Destroids till 2016 anyways..
-
The more I look, the more I love!
-
I see there is plenty of pre-order madness going on with these.. glad im not touching this line!
-
hehe! Your endorsement should mean quite a bit actually considering the Yeti Stands are in most of those gorgeous photos you have taken! But yeah im still thinking it over..
-
that's a sweet shot! two incredibly gorgeous birds!
-
Fantastic comparison pics Noel! Each has its good and bad points but to be honest they both are just as good as each other really..
-
hehe! Get out of my head! I was thinking the very same thing just after I wrote my previous comment! Yeti will have to answer that question though..

That Dragon is cool! And is that Mechagodzilla? My one would love that! -
Thanks for that mate! You see that XL arm is just way too long.. I was thinking of using two 3.5" arms which could pivot so I can adjust the height. I figured using the Bandai base section being physically smaller than the Yeti base would require the Valk to be centered more directly above to prevent too much weight shift and tip over? But from my height calculations in order to display the VF19 in the lower Klingsbo shelves on the Yeti-Bandai combo I would need to pose the 19 a little more extreme and im not so sure I'd like that.
-
So is the arm that's included in the DX starter kit the same as the 3.5" extra arm yes?

Got delivery notification this morning so I did a quick dash home to open her up and have a quick play! I was pleasantly surprised by how relatively easy the transformation to battroid was with no real hassles at all! As a precautionary measure I did loosen the upper leg joint screws half a turn each before attempting to swing the legs down to their final position after seeing others struggle with that but other than that it was all good! No time for any interesting or dynamic poses for now as im off back to work but I will have more of a fiddle with it after I get home this evening. The boosters do fit better on this one but overall it didn't look as trim and taut in fighter mode so I'll leave the first one as is. So yeah anyways im absolutely loving it!
-
I was just having a look around your website and noticed there are extra arms you can buy. Are these extra arms (the $9 ones) the same length or shorter than the arm that comes in the DX starter kit? From the picture they look shorter but still hard to tell.
-
My 2nd one should arrive today so I'll finally have a crack at shifting it to battroid! And then possibly back to fighter mode.. will see how adventurous im feeling at the time! Looking forward to the experience! I did trim the wing root locking tab down a tad and I think its even helped the boosters stay put! Im thinking the stress of forcing that locking tab in might be altering the shape of that whole wing root section even only slightly but enough to cause the boosters not to tab on hard enough. I kinda tested this by fitting the boosters on without the wing roots tabbed in and they both snap on without a hitch! As to whether or not we'll actually see any color variants of this Valk im not so sure.. seeing that its in essence more a specific custom Valk as per Isamu Dyson's modding antics that to me personally it doesn't really make that much sense to release it as someone else's or another squadron's Valkyrie. Don't get me wrong the idea of different paint schemes is nice but as it stands I don't think that this toy in particular really has anything more to offer than it already has being an Isamu variant. All we'll end up is with another bunch of never seen paint variants like the YF-29 and although I do love them too but they aren't anything particularly exciting. Maybe Bandai should start focusing of upping the build quality for what ever new design Valkyrie will be coming from Macross Delta instead.

Thanks for doing that Yeti! So yeah it would seem im still in a tricky place.. the long arm will be too long and the short arm too short.. hmmm is it possible to joint to short arms together so they could pivot for a little more a height adjustment?
-
Yeti, if you wouldn't mind doing a few measurements for me? I need to know the max height of a setup just like this (with the Bandai VF-19 if available) from the base to the top of the head lasers and with both a long arm and short arm. I am trying to see if I can use the DX starter kit in my Ikea Klingsbo cabinet.. it has a rather low shelf height which is what im concerned about.. Thanks mate!
