Well I checked Nin-Nin's FAQ, and it seems legit... I suppose this order broached some kind of limit.
-
I ordered mine from Amazon, I may not get it until October, but from these initial reports it’s going to be cancelled. I hope these are just the few bad ones that escaped QC.

Hi! Nin-Nin wants me to verify my identity by submitting pics of me holding my passport, and then close-up pics of my passport, along with a utility bill. Is this really a standard procedure? I’ve never had to do this with any other importer.
-
Paid for my Tlead + Legioss. I hope it’s worth it. I’m going to have to sell some of my other Valkyries to recover.
-
Same. Hopefully they're reliable. I hear stories from both sides.
-
Rare earth magnets in fighter, then have the legs and arms attach via some flip-out pegs and flip-open holes for gerwalk and battroid.

Nin-Nin Game has the combined Sentinel Tread with bonus missiles available again with pay later: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fp8j5.mj.am%2Flnk%2FAWUAAF9cBqsAAAAAAAAAAXDJL-EAAYCrbhsAAAAAAAOtLgBniFVlresSQWcPRA-vCs3NMrTuZgADg5A%2F2%2Fo5VkwoecUxIWjMSAlO-Pag%2FaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmluLW5pbi1nYW1lLmNvbS9lbi9zZW50aW5lbC8xNTQ5MzQtcmlvYm90LWFybW9yZWQtZ2VuZXNpcy1tb3NwZWFkYS1hYi0wMWgtdHJlYWQtMTQ4LWxpbWl0ZWQtZWRpdGlvbi1ib251cy1zZW50aW5lbC0uaHRtbA&data=05%7C02%7C%7C3c59de5ede8a42c54ac708dd35c65325%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638725848118084441%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wa2McZrG2KtAd8Cp0b2jRTzauLrtWj8AMKPsSJd85V8%3D&reserved=0

I like the matte finish. Other than that I’m not totally sold on this since I didn’t much care for Brera as a character and I don’t think the extra screws are really going to change much. I thought it was a little odd they compared the Revival to the original 27, not the Renewal. I guess they wanted to show all the differences they could. I wonder if the Renewal 27 sold so poorly… Still happy with my Grace 27, but I did put in a PO for this with Amazon for the hell of it. I’ll compare it to my figure of Melda Dietz and see if their colors compare well. If not, Amazon’s return policy makes it simple.
-
So. Will this be a US release, or not? Is this going to suffer pre-order madness, or not? And which vendors accept PO payment later, these days?
-
Now, now, using a Valkyrie as a letter opener has some merit.
-
That’s unexpected. I’m happy with my Grace O’Connor Renewal version, I suspect this will be a Revival Brera version. That said, I bet the matte red will POP. Wonder if I should get one to display behind my Melda Dietz figure… no, not the right franchise, but the colors I bet would match beautifully.

Keeping an eye open for the 1/60 Yamato Version 2 compatible set.

They’re just reissuing Keith’s mount? What a disappointment. Should have done a Ba model, Mirage’s ride, or the “meownie” 262 from the cat planet. EDIT: No, it’s Bogue’s from a movie I didn’t see. Very well, my other points stand.

Please let us know your shoulder assembly situation! Bandai Engineering - it’s Not Just Good - it’s Good Enough!
-
Broken head lasers and possibly a shoulder misassembly issue - has anyone else reported incorrect shoulder joints? We got Bandaied(TM)!
-
Cool! That code’s not working for me.
-
Inflation, the weak yen, or the greater number of parts and engineering? It’s not that expensive in Japan.
-
This is a WWM release?
-
Only a renewal version. This is “my” Valkyrie because according to the background its maiden flight was on my birthday, December 11.

Having worked with Citadel metallics for years, I can say they are some of the best available and forgive brush painting readily, BUT they need to be thoroughly mixed for a good consistency. I use an electric paint shaker and a couple stainless steel ball bearings in the paint pot and that’s always done the trick.

Unavailable now.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Sildani replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
The VF-1 Super Parts use a polymer putty for fuel? That’s a first for me. Wonder how it gets pumped into the reaction chamber. -
At least the yen is weaker against the dollar now.

I read somewhere a long, long time ago that the sculptor of the 1/72 Yamato toys didn’t really care about the line art, or Macross in general. It was a job, not a passion project. As for incorporating the nacelles into the leg transformation, I don’t think that would be acceptable because that wouldn’t follow the lineart at all. The only engine bits are in the intakes, for the “pre-compressor” fan, and in the nacelle bulges which house the actual engines, and those incorporate into the backpack, not the legs. If any part of them did go into the legs, you wouldn’t have a delimiter mode. Perhaps the thing to do would be to have the wings fold flat, if they can, and make modifications to the backpack hinges to allow it to fit more closely to the actual battroid body. Or modify the wing hinges so any impediment they have to fold flat will be eliminated.

Yeah. Don’t. It’s the plastic, it weakens over time. I think the CF variant has a metallic sheen to the dark grey plastics, which did something very not good when it was injected-molded to be made. No other 171 has this metallic plastic, so they don’t have nearly this many problems.
