We all know collecting Macross valks is damned expensive, but this story is on another level. Logan Paul spends 3.5 million on a supposedly sealed Pokemon 1st edition case. And it's been authenticated by a 3rd party certification company. Ends up being fake. Wow. Interesting watch. -
She looks gorgeous!! Must resist ... I've decided to only buy 1 - 2 of these and not get the entire Delta wing. Waiting for the green paint scheme.

Congratulations @Captain Global on your first valk. Welcome to the addiction ... LOL! I have this one as well - enjoy!!

Whoa?? Does this suggest that perhaps Arcadia might NOT be able to produce/develop/release more Macross toys in the future?? 😮 😮 😮

Which Yamato 1/60 V2 are safe - regarding shoulder joint issue
ValkAddict replied to kkx's topic in Toys
FYI: @jenius - You may want to update your "safe valkyrie" checklist. I have been hunting around for several months for a Yamato 1/60 v2 VF-1D. I just got the first release (Feb 2009 v.2) and the seller said it was in excellent condition, but its shoulders were cracked (sadly). EDIT: I have also seen several other first release VF-1D's being sold also with cracked shoulders. I also found one on Mandarake, the second release (April 2012 v2.2) - but it also had cracked shoulders, link: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1181616435&ref=list&keyword=macross VF-1D&lang=en Suggest you update the checklist. By the way, I LOVE your reviews and site. THANK YOU for all your hard work and efforts. It is very much appreciated by me!! -
Thanks @Anasazi37 !! D'oh, guess I missed the obvious.

Thanks @505thAirborne for the info! Sorry for missing the obvious. Looks like I can only order white colored sets from here (wish they had cream color), https://www.shapeways.com/product/DV3KRQCTN/kanzen-henkei-1-60-scale-fighter-variable-hinge?optionId=3675956

Thanks @Anasazi37 for your input. I am not a customizer, nor do I have modeling skills. Valkyrie repair is all new to me.

Apologies for reviving an older thread ... but can someone please comment: have they bought from this seller - are they legit? I bought a used Yamato 1/60 VF-1D with broken shoulders and need replacement shoulder hinges. TIA for any help. EDIT: Also, the photo of the part does not seem to look exactly like the broken shoulder hinge.

Hopefully they release the last 2 SDF destroids in their "classic" tan colors ...

@Lolicon and @505thAirborne - Thank you both! I am interested in getting some 1/60 Yamato VF-1 v2 toys, but many have cracked shoulders. Now that I know they can be replaced ... I may try getting one used and replacing. Appreciate the help folks!! -

^ How difficult is it to replace the cracked shoulders? I'm not a customizer and don't have much experience. TIA for any info you can share. -
Just checked mine - no yellowing. It's been in a display cabinet for many years now in battroid mode. Sadly, very very loose hips.
-
^ This. I'd love a ghost booster bundle of the 0A, Premium Finish please Arcadia!!
-
I'm good with the delay ... allows me to save more $$$ for it.
-
^ Agreed. Would've loved to see a UN Spacy kite instead of WWM
-
+1 for a Hi Metal R YF-19 - Macross Plus version and not from Macross 7
-
Gratzi for the confirmation @borgified
-
I wonder if it's just a straight re-paint or hopefully improved shoulder and hip joints??
-
Holy smokes - AWESOME news!!! Yes!!!
-
Is that a darker shade of red compared to the Yamato release?
