Yeah, it sucks but what can you do? Tamashii Web Shop exclusives are made to order and aren't re-issued often, if ever. Even the V1's were never reissued as-is. They only saw re-release as gift packs. considering some of the parts have been out for over 2 years and they weren't exactly a whole lot of them it doesn't surprise me at all.

Charaworks 1/144 Valkyries. They had 2 seasons of them and were pretty awesome. http://www.hlj.com/product/hap81058/Gsh http://www.hlj.com/product/hap81075/Gsh

My issue with the Bracket is that it's held on by two diddly pins. It doesn't snap into any grooves for a real secure fit like any real bracket would.... Any downward force could easily dislodge the bracket connections little by little as all that keeps the bracket in place is those diddly vertical pins and their friction with the intake holes. On one of my copies, these holes are loose so the bracket dislodges super easy. Half-assed solution is half-assed. Bandai-ception!!! aside from that love the valk

My second YF-30 has some imperfections on the canopy. Gonna get a microfiber cloth and some rubbing alcohol....argh.. why can't it be clear like my first one lol
-
That's weird, because the YF-29S transforms like any other YF-29 or YF-25 in my experience.

When i buy stuff online at Ikea I buy a ton of stuff. buying 1 detolf or 10 costs the same to ship.

Some people like the naked VF-25S as is. I know I used to have addon-pack syndrome but then I realized the planes themselves without packs are really good looking :0
-
The Bulbous canopy is prolly the only greasy part of the valk. I had to use a micro fiber cloth and wipe out the inside of the canopy to clear it up on my copy. No chemicals required, just a gentle finger because the bulbous canopy is thinner as well. Also did some panel lines using my regular technique. the panel lines are a bit thinner than on the VF-25's, but not as thin and beautiful as the Yammy V2 VF-1 or 1/72 VF-25s, which had beautifully thin panel lines. Just be careful around the red paint areas as my technique which uses a bit of rubbing alcohol could just as easily wipe off that red paint O_o

We needed a top-down shot. Such a Beautiful Plane :0

The Easiest way to make Leon stick. It drives me nuts when he's jiggling around in the cockpit.

So Just a warning to YF-30 owners, the Gunpod back attachment is a total pain to remove if you insert it fully into stock while the front barrels are extended. Not only is it a very tight fit when inserted into the stock, There are no tabs or anything to take it back out. In addition, if you put the back piece fully in, you cannot collapse your gunpod. To remedy this, I cut off a piece of the back attachment at an angle as below. The back attachment still works in fighter mode for a secure fit. When the gunpod is extended, you can fully insert the piece. With the angle cut, when you close the gunpod, the backpiece automatically is pushed out due to the angle, and you can pull it out with ease. I figure Bandai meant to make it like this, but somehow they..er.. flubbed it? lol

Transforming doesn't break the triangles, they break on their own. If you get a broken triangles don't use super glue to fix them. I instead remove the triangle, use plastic weld which is super easy to apply via capillary action into the cracks and then place the triangles in a gentle clamp to hold them in place while the plastic weld does its magic. After that just some light sanding / polishing followed by spraying on a coat of gloss black and you can'y even tell they were broken. It sucks ass that we have to do this on a 140 dollar toy, but since it's the only CF VF-171 out there you really don't have much choice.

The bad reputation of the vf-171 has made it very cheap to amass an army of them:D
-
I find it hard to believe there are many members without yf-30's considering CDJ was open for an eternity and even AE had a few up for a few days post release
-
This is beginning to remind me of the forever open RVF-25 preorders at Hobbyfan. Only 5% of the preorders were fulfilled there. It'd be a safer bet to get a refund and then wait until late October / early November when retailers get their actual allotment numbers. If the last two releases were any indication preorders did open up again at various sites and the majority of people were able to secure the valks at or even below retail.

Need more YF29 love

Those are some nice pics Glad to see the 171 weapons work well on the 30. I have a bunch saved up since I have so many 171's
