    Thats very cool! I would have preferred a TV 1A style head but either way it's looks great.

    Oh I see . I didn't look that closely at them. Just figured it was the same as the other Movie version pilots.
  3. spanner
    Yes the pilots for the movie versions are a bit chunkier and look and fit way better in the cockpit. I'm hoping they fix the tiny pilot issue for the TV versions.. they look like they took them from the 1/60 toys..

    Pain aside of dealing with NY and UPS woeful shipping I'm absolutely loving the Kakizaki variant! Shame about the "210" tampo stuff up but it doesn't bother me too much as everything else seems ok.

    My Kakizaki finally arrived this afternoon. buying these things is exhausting..

    After being stuck in China for several days my Kakizaki is finally on the move again as of this morning. Estimated delivery is this coming Monday. Would have been nice to have had it for this weekend considering we have a completely free weekend first time in ages.. oh well

    My correction it's now been 5 days in China.. if that's the case then it's been bumped multiple times. Not sure why UPS uses this route if this is the result..

    I've used the FP stands for years now and really haven't had any issues. Have had the odd rubber end cap stick to the surface of the Valkyrie but no paint ever got damaged or discoloured. I know other people have had issues but I have always made an effort to keep my Valks displayed in a cooler or more controlled climate. Maybe high heat would cause them to react with what ever surface they are supporting but as I said I haven't had the problem. I still have Valks on them now and they aren't new stands either.

    NY finally did ship out my Kakizaki but it has since been stuck in Shenzhen China for 3 days now. UPS shipment has been delayed.. the very same situation as my Zero-D.

    Ah cool! Looks legit !

    Hang on.. am I missing something here? Has a DX Roy VF-1S been released already? Or is this a custom repaint? Or am I just stupid?
  13. spanner
    I know right! As with the ZeroD before I got jipped on the shipping.. I know some services can be expensive but over $200 (Aussie) expensive is very questionable. I am definitely not impressed with how bad the whole experience has been.

    Just a quick update on my NY order situation.. So they finally got back to me about my SSP order stating that the supplier has cancelled all orders for them for what ever reason.. They gave me the option for either store credit or swap for a similar priced item so I took the store credit of 12,500¥.. Then after that they informed me that my Kakizaki order was ready to ship but I would have to pay an additional fee of 9000¥ for UPS shipping as EMS is still not available to Australia apparently? I asked if I could use my store credit for the additional shipping costs which they said was fine but they appear to have absorbed the left over 3500¥ from the original store credit in the process! Which isn't much in the overall scheme of things but it is still about $45 Aussie dollars.. Not sure if I should be pissed about that or just thankful that my Kakizaki is finally on its way and should just shrug my shoulders in defeat.

    OMFG!!! those planes are absolutely gorgeous!!! Love the Vulcan bomber and Mosquito! Sheesh!
  16. spanner
    Hehe! Sorry for the silly question.. was just curious.
  17. spanner
    How many others here are still waiting on NY to ship their Kakizaki?
  18. spanner
    I have chosen this pose for my Zero!

    Still nothing from NY about my Kakizaki. And they never responded to my inquiry about the Super Parts Set..
  20. spanner
    Still not a peep out of NY for my Kakizaki.. I've also had a super parts set on order with them since September last year and there's been no movement on it. I did send them a message about the SS parts but they didn't respond to it. I know I missed the initial batch but thought it would have arrived by now via the second batch considering the specified release date was April this year.. It's becoming exhausting.
  21. spanner
    No movement on mine yet.. hopefully soon

    This absolutely gorgeous Century Wings Lockheed SR-71 arrived yesterday! Stunning!

    I've had several brands myself but always seem to return to Suzuki. Yeah true some do feel a little on the softer side than other brands but it makes easy to handle and more forgiving. I'd say my favourite of all the other bikes I've had previously would be the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R. Rode well, went well, looked and sounded great. And not too peaky for a 600 unlike the Yamaha R6 I had which all action in the top end.. I did track work varying from ride days to club racing for about 8 years but gave it away in about 2015. I found that I couldn't go any quicker without spending BIG bucks and wasn't so keen on riding beyond my limits and the ever rising costs was also a contributing factor. I did also stop street riding for about 18 months as the bike was my primary means to and from work but it got too scary a ride from where we lived. After we moved the ride was much closer and on better roads so I bought this 750. I do miss the track but I'm definitely enjoying riding to work semi regularly. I'd really like to do more leisure riding but since all this Covid crap happened no one has been riding much if at all unfortunately.

    That's a great shot! I really like the 999! Been wanting one for years but the good ones are sooo expensive.. gotta just stick with the Suzuki's for now.. this is my brand new GSXR750 I got back in June this year. It's my first under 1000cc bike I've had in over 10 years! It was either gonna be a used 1000cc or a brand new smaller bike.. so I settled on this and have no regrets. It's a fantastic bit of kit and still plenty fast enough! Don't need that huge power any more and this is so much more comfortable than my old K6 1000. Also it's nice to get something brand new for a change rather than someone else's crap they no longer want.

    That's mad!
