Slave IV

Yep, I have all these including Go Lion on my list...Had many chances to get the original release but I'm not a GoLion fan...Also the GFFCM RX-78-2 and the SOC Getter Emperor. So broke!

Nice stamps @sh9000

I like how @anubis20 casually drops a Mecha King Ghidorah on us with no comment there Nice haul!

Mission accomplished!

I have it on the list for my next order!

Good to know! Nice work as usual on your VE-1 Super Lolicon PF!

You can also do an online inquiry at usps.com. I did that once when something like that happened and it triggered movement on the tracking and I got the item soon after.

While it doesn't seem like a big deal at all, it kinda sucks and I would be annoyed just to know it is not supposed to be that way.

Gonna post about the new Arcadia stand here just for good reference First thing I noticed before taking the stands out of the box was the heft which I later found came from the metal weights that are installed and shown in the bottom. Really nice touch to make everything feel solid. Fit and finish of the stand is superb. I didn't have the issue of backwards parts mentioned by one person I've seen so far. I love the ample storage space that can hold all the extra parts that came with the valk (not sure if there is enough room for a whole missile set but it should be close). Ratcheted joints all around make it very secure for any pose and several options to set up the arm and base. The only thing I would ask for is a bit more articulation in the arm so you can lower the angle and keep the valk level at the same time but overall, it really is enough. I'm definitely good with just the two I got because I am only planning on using them to hold Valks in fighter mode like in the movie and it would be boring to have too many displayed like that. Whatever the case, great buy and well worth it for the look but Yetistands are still overall the king.

I still think Yetistands are ideal for most display options. Especially for detolfs, you can use a combination of the detolf adapter and base stands...or a combination of those and the Arcadia. For the most part, if you are going to display Valks in different modes, 3-4 max per deftolf shelf works. Maybe more if all in Battroid mode and not too dynamically posed or Fighter mode all pointing up.

Well the S is out there and available for purchase now. I don't see any of the current A or D options as viable.

Cool, I haven't really paid attention to any new Thunderbird media but that looks fun! I have a Diecast Thunderbird 2 and it was one of my favorite toys as a kid. Love all the built in gimmicks.

Thanks! And I second the F-14 suggestion. Unless you don’t want to get sucked in because they are instantly addicting as soon as you have one in hand.

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed. Found the source of the weight after I opened one. those metal weights are a very nice touch!

Yeah, it's pretty satisfying. The footprint can be even bigger if you add the extra support feet. I was thinking these were pretty expensive but having them in hand make me feel it was money well spent.

Opened the stand and VE-1 together and will post thoughts here (@Saburo) So, the heft was from the metal weights that are installed and shown in the bottom. Really nice touch to make everything feel solid. Fit and finish of the stand and Valk are both superb. I didn't have the issue of backwards parts mentioned earlier on either of mine. I love the ample storage space that can hold all the extra parts that came with the valk (not sure if there is enough room for a whole missile set but it should be close). Ratcheted joints all around make it very secure for any pose and several options to set up the arm and base.

Whatever the case, great buy and well worth it for the look but Yetistands are still overall the king. The Valk is simply stunning. This is the first PF Valk I've opened and it really is the way they should all come. I don't mind not having PF but why not? The extra detail is definitely best suited for fighter mode, imo. I still get extreme satisfaction and joy with every Arcadia Valk I open as there is something about their feel that just suits these toys so perfectly.

Yeah, I need the D and A for my collection.

ooo, nice @Lolicon

haha yep! If there is a PF stand, it will be around $100

I'd love to see how that turns out!

Got my Audi fix And this little guy it’s exactly as I remember it (yeah, not much going on to begin with to change) but one of my favorites and I got a discount since the package was opened. When I find my original, one of them will go to the kids.

Wow, that’s a sweet lot @MKT

Hopefully I'll open them this week. Initial thought without opening is they are very hefty. Heavier than I thought they would be. This will give me a good reason to open PF VE-1!
