Congrats! Yeah, beautiful bird, I have it permanently on display! Though I'd like to preserve the YF-30 in its box to prevent yellowing, I love to see it on the shelf even more.

Thanks CrossAir, yes is a beautiful / stunning figure  

finally arrived!

Completely new and unopened, well was unopened until today hehe

definitely be careful with the gunpod, both I and my yf-30's previous owner broke the handle off. it's quite a tight fit into/outta the hand.

The head lasers and the head itself are very tricky when going from battroid to fighter.

In Battroid the chest has no locking mechanism unless you use the extra braces. So be careful how you pose it or handle it without the extra pieces.

When unfolding the missile pod the white paint on die cast will scratch.

When you fold down the jet nose when going to battroid there is still a pointy tip in front of the cockpit that you have to be careful not to scratch or bend against the chest cover during transformation.

You can use gerwalk without its new waist articulation, which I find very annoying. You can just unfold the legs forwards as in every other valk.

You dont need to use the locking mechanisms for the shoulders in battroid or gerwalk. Be careful when pulling out the shoulders cause they are stiff when new.

Congrats on the new valk!!

Thank all for your the heads up! much appreciated, will be careful with this one ... no promises thou

I think I just found my Christmas gift and just bought it, I always wanted this since I saw it cause of the design and color combination I think it looks stunning and ageless in all forms   

And with Item A and Box B literally the Valk is brand new and unopened , for the average price this valk is going on in other places I think this is by far the cheapest I can get it and brand new!,

So any advise / recommendation guys on what I need to take care off before handling the figure ?, 

It looks beautiful !, this is a slap  Arcadia face Premium nonsense prices , not to mention I'm pretty sure this Valk will have much better quality and heft than those Arcadia ones, I have the the Arcadia Hikaru Ichijo VF 1S and each time I grab it it feels like I'm gonna break that damn thing (so light ), for this reason I stopped looking forward for any Arcadia VF1 valks definitely too much pricey for the questionable quality, it really grabs my attention how the Arcadia YF 19 Full set has a very nice heft and plastic quality  feel maybe because is a much bigger Fighter so who knows.

In the meantime can't wait to have this beautiful Fighter!

How long before they re-release this minus the crappy wing writing?

I actually love all the markings of YF 19 it adds more personality to the whole figure(fighter, gerwalk, and Batroid) and also is like slap in the face to the ridiculous nonsense outrages prices of the Arcadia premium finishes valks.

I believe V3's tail-lights are on the heels, although traditionally, they should be on the toes. But, toon accuracy.

Not a price retraction; many overseas retailers offer a lower preorder price for a particular period before the release date. As for the backpack, the cab of the truck is formed by folding panels which cover Prime's upper torso so that more detail can be added to the truck mode while maintaining the flat, undetailed toon accurate look of the bot mode. Essentially, he's what we refer to as a shell-former.

After seeing the pictures of the anime and figure are indeed accurate but not if you are seeing it from the back:

It looks like a big hunch , maybe that thing is detachable or something I hope, also in my opinion this doesn't look like it fits the Masterpiece line i looks like it can be a total new toy line  a more cartoon oriented line, cause for me still the MP 10 looks more evolve than this. 

Are they retracting of the initial price ? 

New updated images , still after seeing all images now way in hell well at least for me it justifies that ridiculous previous price tag, I hope for reasonable price, also whats the deal with that big backpack? 

holy damn!, I was looking forward for the new optimus prime MP but this is just ridiculous and also MP 10 looks miles better than this version, now I'm worried that the MP 10 price will skyrocket cause these news, damn need to find one fast!

Who says I'm upset? I preordered two even though I'm scared of the shoulder double-hinge joint. 

 

Those double hinges should be fine, what I mean it must be since this is Bandai first release for these new line, I really don't think Bandai want's screw up such an important Figure for introduction to the public and also Bandai has never released first editions with QA issues right , right people ? aww dammit

This was shared earlier. 

 

 

It looks effing awesome, very clean transformation if you ask me, also great they give you the option to detach the legs so you can have a waist like movement, freaking love how the head is allocated below, very nice view from below, no sure why people a are getting upset for me it looks great, I just hope the plastic used in this 1/48 valk is high quality so it can have a nice heft and feel to it unlike the Arcadia VF's that feel so light and feel like I'm going to break those.

Wait. What?! They added extra leg armor for it? Meaning it comes with the original leg armor without the Gun holder? 

 

yep, I actually went ahead and double check Scorched earth video review of Sylvie(still need to get mine) and yes is the same exact blister , but with NEXX it comes with that extra small blister for the gun holder and the actual gun.

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-023079-R

I got mine from them Item A Box B, this classification means is brand new unopened , bought lots of stuff in this classification and all of them are brand new, the BOX B means it probably have a small dent most of the time in some corner of the box. Also I always use DHL , yes it a bit expensive but most certainly 99.9 % the item will arrived in perfect condition and by this I mean the shipper box , oh and it just needs a couple of days  or 1 day to arrive to the US.  

Finally arrived, this valk looks beautiful  

Extra part gun holder

Their Garland seemed to do well and I they sell girly figures to... People that are totally not perverts.

Might be those Garlands cause also in the Facebook page there are recent pictures of a new Megazone 23 Garland, along side some AA Gokins not sure about those Arcadia Girly figures didn't know they produce that type as well  

Not sure what Arcadia is doing to maintain its business  afloat , but shouldn't at least display Ivanov painted by now ?
