I would love one but the noseart is actually a turn off for me lol.

Looks like the YF-25 at AE got snatched up by somebody
-
The Billy shelf can be configured into a pretty badass display. Just look at what this guy did Here's a preview of what he made out of the Billies. They'll cost you about 200 USD for the basic shelf plus glass doors, then it's 10 bucks per glass shelf and 50 bucks for each lighting set O_o This pic of his display below looks seriously badass, even though it cost him 1320-ish USD before tax

Lol that's the Alto I bought for customizing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Frontier-DX-Chogokin-VF-29-Durandal-Valkyrie-Alto-Saotome-Custom-/221465550866?nma=true&si=bH6N%252Fu%252F5W7Fhbyca5LpjcKRZ2p8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Loose joints aren't an issue at all as it takes just a screw driver and some nail polish / super glue to re-tighten them. The mistake people make is they try to use the nail polish on the ball joint itself. I instead use small layers of glue and do some buildup under where the plastic friction piece is placed. By increasing the height of the piece you can naturally get better friction when the whole joint is reassembled and tightened. -
Rakuten has these up for retail and willing to ship to US http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/marchenshop/item/2014062003/ Only 1 left *edit 2* OMG the price went up from 13500 yen to 15100 yen after somebody bought some... booooo

Flowery Valks
-
I had to mix my Detolfs
-
Toynami didn't win. The Hi-metal's just didn't do well in Japan for some reason. The Hi-metal VF-1's made 1:100 look sexy
-
I just panel line on the plastic as is. Have had great luck using Reaper paints black wash. Cleanup is very easy with a folded paper towel and some rubbing alcohol (just don't touch any painted areas when wiping). When panel lining painted areas usually I use a microfiber cloth and rub off the excess wash as you really don't want to put rubbing alcohol on the painted areas.

You know what's sad is even if Bandai re-released the 25S peeps would still gladly pay even 100 bucks prem on the 25S from NY because it beats the @ss-r*** prices we have right now. On a side note, finally got to panel-lining one of my Alto F reissues from last year. Hard to believe I left it sealed for 11 months before opening it. Just need Tornado packs now On a side note, imagine if Bandai Trolled everyone and re-released the VF-25S w Armored Pack, but the itasha version
-
Updated my Display shelf >;D Tried to fit almost every valk I own into one wall display Saving a spot for the YF-25's coming out this month The row of VF-171's. The tiny 1/60 and 1/100 vf-1 collection No clue how I'm gonna re-arrange everything to fit the YF-30 and Luca VF-171 (O_o)
-
If there's an option pack If they include the same underwing stores as the VF-171 I'd be pretty pissed since I already have a bunch of underwing stores leftover from all my 171 armor packs :0
-
Lol at Vader. Looks like some people are going to whip out paint brushes and some paint to get their green visors and orange shoulder plates.
-
One of our members made replacement head lasers for the original 29, why not see if we can get him (kurisama) to make Ozzy ones. I would buy spare shapeways sets just to add some variety to my 29's
-
Honestly...not digging the blue crotch in battroid. Luckily I have a 3 VF-25F crotch plates not in use and I'll just swap those onto my YF-25's. Anyone that has a super / armored 25F can do the same.
-
Opening up the valks and adding a layer of nail polish did the trick for any loose 25 / 29 hips.

Thank God I'm American and Toys, Hobbies and Video Games are all Duty-Free -
I think I'm done with Ozzy unless they release tornado pack for him O_O. Have a 4th in storage in case that happens. (if it never is released I'll display him in fighter with my extra armored pack set) If they released non-canon NUNS vf-25s'es like those seen in the VF-25 Master File I would prolly go crazy on those Hot damn.... that's a ton for the bare valk O_o The most expensive Ozzy I got was less than that and had Armored Pack (in 04/2013). The cheapest Ozzy I got was only 90 dollars, had a broken wing and no accessories. shown below. I rehabbed him into my Armored Ozzy batttroid display
-
Finally organized my vf-25 displays to make more sense :0
-
it only took forever for my fast packs to be shipped and to arrive O_o they look much nicer after a quick black wash and cleanup.
-
Yeesh they should at least transform it correctly by getting the lower torso in the right place and putting the boob guards down.
-
Honestly, while I'd like the Idea of a super duper crazy VF-1, I've had my share of VF-1's and want something new. Already have DYRL Skull Squadron in 1/48, 1/60 v2, and 1/100 hi-metal and don't like the idea of having to spend another 2G on ginormous valks that I wouldn't have space to display
-
All Three of my CDJ PO's are prepaid. Hopefully they prioritize the paypal peeps over the credit card peeps as it's easier to just not charge cards as opossed to doing PP refunds. Was kind of interesting they have a limit of 3 at CDJ as well O_o
-
Full Price doesn't really bother me. Pretty much Everything else pre-ordered from sites outside of 1999, hlj and amiami are full-priced and any other pre-order for other products like games / electronics are full-priced so I think discounts are the exception, not the norm.
-
Yeah something is not right. My 30th Anni 29's have no issue at all.
