Going to go against the flow, I like the back-swept, downward-canted canards the best. Pic #3.

Finally figured out what I don't like about this design, other than the forward-facing canards: too much fuselage, not enough wing. Battroid does look awesome though. No offense to those who do like it, I just never have and couldn't put my finger on what it was until talented people posted plane pics perfect for perusal. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yeah, it'll probably be one weapon pod and the underwing missiles from the 171EX Super parts set. Then another pod and, hey, some 1/60 SMS ground crew! And another pod and maybe a new plastic stand to look like a revetment or something. By then, one of the Chronos' repaints, either Thrust or Skywarp, will become available, and the cycle of color-matched pods will begin again. It's the circle of Frontier life.

I saw that. Gives me hope for an add-on pack containing new weapons - maybe large missiles - and underwing stores.

How does a webshop exclusive order work? Do you pay up front, or when it's shipped? Thanks!

Got my Super parts a couple weeks ago, just now got around to playing with them. For your approval:

Yes, but the difference in canard position and shape, difference in intake shape between Battroid and fighter, and Battroid's slender legs might not translate at all well into fighter. It just seems to me that, lacking replaceable parts, a compromise Valkyrie might be problematic.

Unless they use pliable rubber for... certain parts, a MAXL will be a parts-former like nothing else.

Thanks again Antibiotictab!

I did not know that. Don't own either of those. So there's precedent for this kind of thing.

Yes, but that's... clunky. Thanks so much, Antibiotictab!!! How did it feel in hand? Sturdy? Floppy? Too stiff?

Mmm... priorities.

Is this a Valkyrie or a chiropractic patient?

Thanks for that! I think this is the weekend people will be able to actually handle the 30, so hopefully someone will give us an "hands-on" report.

They need to make the Supernova schemes first.

Yep, that did it. Thanks Scyla!

Hi, I need help with my 25A Super parts. I know I've screwed up somewhere. Basically, after all Super parts have been attached, the legs no longer fold and tuck in properly in Fighter mode, and the wings fit into the holes provided for the pegs in such a way that the wings are set at a fair dihedral. What have I done wrong? Do the legs need to folded differently, like the VF-1's did? Do the legs need to be pulled out to the Gerwalk position? Please help! Thanks.

Well done. Bloody well done. How'd you do it, specifically, the paint?

Yeah, but... "Don't worry , she'll hold together!" *puts the 30 into crazy Gerwalk pose, feels joints creaking* "Hear me, baby? Hold together!"

Hey all, tracking says my Super parts are in New York. Not much longer now...

It does seem that way. I think there's a "hands on" event in a week or so in Japan, hopefully our man Tochiro can report on it.

Yeah, then I need Anasazi to make decals that say "Rittmeister 017" that would go where the "Siegfrieds" go on the white job. Points if you get the reference. No Google.

Nicely done. It looks like that bracket folds out of someplace. Hopefully it's not a separate part. Who am I kidding? Hopefully, it's included at all.

Yes indeed. How about a pic of fighter mode with Super parts attached? Please?

I think most everyone got one. What was HLJ's initial price? They have it for 20,000 yen currently with an order stop.
