When in Battroid mode, have you pushed the ankle joints back in? In that way, feet are going to be well secured since it will just use minimal ankle joint movement when it's standing. It's like the side (white tan) part of the legs are almost touching the ground. That's what I do on mine. Anyways, hope that helps.

1 wish... Lower their price first?

That's weird. Because the time I posted that one, it still says Low Stock. I guess, a lot of people did really like that YF-19 in spite of errors. I DO. That's why I wish the price will drop soon, say $200, so I can buy my second one. Even without those missles and fast packs, I'm good. Hehehe.

Seriously, how do we know if Bandai's going to decide to release a VF-25S reissue? I want it so bad since I just want to buy his and do a red stripe on him. I know he looks way better on an Armored Pack than Alto's. It's the only reason why I want to have one Ozma. But I don't want to pay aftermarket priced Valks from $350 and up. But just in case they don't, that's fine I guess. Hehehe. All I can do is shake my head.

PM Sent. Getting excited to see more footage or photos regarding this Valk. I'm so curious on the rotating pelvic area. Good or bad, I don't think it will matter since I kinda dig now how the Battroid looks esp on the last photo uploaded a page ago. But not so sure if I'm going to get a special pack if eve they decide to release one. Beam Cannon perhaps?

It says Low Stock at HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/ACA82042/Sci Nippon-Yasan: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/5997-macross-plus-yf-19-with-fast-packs.html HobbySearch: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10246266 If you're going to buy in Nov, best bet would be Yahoo Auction/Buyee or Mandarake. Hope that helps.

Thanks for pointing out that crotch support option part. Now I can play and put back the Armored Pack to 25F. I wish it also comes with the Super Parts too. Which is not since I also have the Super Parts. Hehehe. By the way, I like that pose too.

I just hope they'll include a PVC head laser for this aside from the ABS ones as a standard package. Don't want to hit every now and then the ABS head lasers and crack, snap or break when the missle pod rotates. It's the only valid reason for me why sometimes I appreciate the PVC items. I just wished that they should have included an ABS head lasers for 25F releases.

Oh my! I didn't know that part. I thought at first that it might be some attachment for the display stand since it has also that support at the back for the cockpit area. Will look into that since all the rest of the stands and optional items are still in the box. Thanks KH355hamdi! Wow! You did open it up? Is putting everything back in a problem? Especially you mentioned some springs and small parts. So not all Valks comes with that support part mentioned by KH355hamdi? So the only fix if ever you don't have that support part from the Armored Pack add-on is open the whole crotch area? Would adding some rubber on the joints is the safe route than nail polish? Thanks in advance anubis20.

Wing/Arm deployment reminds me of YF-21.

Thanks Scyla. I'll try to check it tonight. Will try to push it more and properly after the 'click' sound. Will let you know soon. Thanks!

Thanks Scyla! I'm not sure if that's where the stand clips in since I'm still not using their respective display stands. I found some photos posted here by Drackie. So basically, it's the swivel metal part of the hip that connects to the back of the crotch to form the pelvic area that I have a problem with. Especially in when displaying it in Battroid mode wearing the Armored Pack. I know I'm pushing it in properly until I hear that 'clicking' sound. I'm not so sure how to tighten the female connector part which I believe is color grey. Or if the metal bar itself that I need to put nail polish with.

This is the "jungle" they speak of: http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/ Hope that helps.

Great hauls everyone! Arrived last week. Alto's VF-25F and VF-171Ex, along with Super Parts and Armored Parts. Early this week. Alto's VF-25F Armored Parts. And Macross 30 PS3 Game. Presenting: The SAOTOME Twins.

Now sure if this is already been asked: Is there a way on fixing/tightening the crotch area joints? It's not the one at the back of the hips/intake. But it's still the same metal part used for the hips. But it's the area that snaps the other end to form the crotch area. Usually, when I put the Armored Pack Booster, it really makes the back heavy and that's the time the metal joint will just snap out from the hole. Thanks in advance.

Nice! Was that done using the Yamato unpainted kit? Cool looking dude. Now you made me second think about that new head. What pack are those Reaction Warhead Packs from? Attacker, Cruiser, or Maneuver? Besides the announced VF-0D? Is Arcadia just being careful with their releases? 1 new Valk a year?

Thanks! Glad you liked that color combo. I'm just looking around what to use to change those yellow stripes on 25S. Painting is the last option since it's going to chip when it's transformed. So I'm researcing for thin stickers. Now all we need is to wait for Bandai to announce a reissue.

Yes, I'll buy it if Arcadia will release it. It will really goes together with the rest of my Red & Stripe scheme collections. Good to know that it's also Hikaru's. I'm just not too fond of the newly designed head so what I will do probably is when it's displayed in Battroid mode, I'll use the regular 1J head. As for the packs - Super Attacker, Super Cruiser, Super Maneuver, not so sure... I really like the new 1J color scheme but those new packs are overkill. It removes the simplicity of the VF-1's.

I photoshopped the leg armors and changed Ozma yellow to red. Hope it's ok, saburo. This combo is what I'm planning to do just in case Bandai reissue Ozma's 25S.

I know. I really like how the 25S head looks better in Battroid Armored mode than the 25F. That's why I ordered the Alto's Armored Part for 25S, assuming or if ever Bandai decides to do a reissue. If not, then atleast I still have Armor Parts for Alto. All I need to do if ever is repaint all the yellow stripes or apply thin red stickers for 25S. I think it's much easy to custom the Valk itself than the parts. Just completing the Red & Black stripe motif. By the way, do you guys consider Alto's Durandal a part of the Red & Black scheme? Assuming the base color for the valks are still White (traditional) or Tan (Isamu's). Somehow I don't since majority of his Durandal body are red and not white. Any thoughts? But again, if ever he is, I'm not gonna spend that much to get him for completing the Red & Black scheme. Rather save the dough to get VF-4G (if Arcadia will not do reissue). Hehehe.

Love it! Thanks saburo! Your photos are spectacular. I kinda like how the overall look of the color grey. I know there's not enough contrast to it but I really like it. Now I'm really decided. The only sad part is... VF-25S Renewal is now expensive. Here's to hoping for a reissue. Make mine Bandai!

Oh cool! Thanks so much saburo. I'll look forward for your picture tonight. It will help me decide what to BUY next. Hehehe.

Thanks saburo! From the looks of it, Alto's side armor skirts kinda have the same grey color of Ozma's valk. I assumed that if we ever use Alto's armored parts to Ozma basically it will be too much grey overall. Hmmm. What do you think? Do you think it will look ok? Or is it going to be too grey? Again, thanks for the photo.

Does anyone have clear photo of Alto's and Ozma's Armored Valks Renewal together? Side-by-side? I just want to know how close the overall grey colors on Alto's Armored Parts to Ozma's grey Valk? Is the light grey part of Alto's Armor close enough for Ozma's grey? Would the dark grey part of Alto's Armor parts will give enough contrast to Ozma's grey Valk? I know Ozma's Armored Pack has darker shades of grey on most parts. Just want to check if Alto's Armored Parts would look ok with Ozma's. Btw, I tried checking online for photos but I can't guarantee if it's accurate in person. So would someone here who have both Valks with Armored Parts to please check, even if it's just an estimate, if Alto's Armored Parts would look ok with Ozma's Thanks a bunch.

I remember posting this one the night that crazy preorder madness started. I'm studying how the transformation works out and how stable will be in battroid mode. Hope this one helps. I'm sure there's going to be locking mechanism and whatnot. But knowing Bandai's loose joint in the forseeable future, one will think how good the toy will be when it's released. I'm one of them now since I also PO'ed this one. Hehehe. I guess, the best answer to that is the display stand that comes with it. I'm still thinking how long the side bar (yellow-the one that connects to the pelvis area-red) will be in order the nose cone (green) to flip going to the back area.
