Maverick VF-25 page up but POs not open yet https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-200309 -
Welp, so much for me not pre-ordering any more Bandai valkyries...
-
A VF-17 that fails the @Graham test is no real VF-17.
-
Yeah I'm not preordering any Bandai valkyries anymore. Between the quality issues, price plummeting immediately after release, and duties on top of already high shipping prices, it's just not worth it.
-
Yeah this one is staying in fighter mode for sure. That battroid is just... bleh.
-
I was about to set up my Plus area like that, except with the Arcadia YF-19 instead. Bandai's effort is just inferior IMO.

Ah that's good to know. I can't check it myself anymore as I've already bought another off Amazon and simply swapped out and returned the defective unit.

VF-27 revival $223 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRN91X6D?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_imgToDp

I'm a little wary of buying Bandai valks from Japan because of all the QC issues that they often have. Mine had a droopy canard that couldn't be raised all the way up and was just a huge eyesore. I "fixed" mine by purchasing one off Amazon and then swapping and returning the defective unit. So there's one benefit of having it available on Amazon here. It was the same way I "fixed" the broken antenna on my YF-21.

Don't forget that if you live in the US you'll be paying an extra 30% if you order from HLJ. I haven't preordered anything from them when it became clear they're charging well above the tariff rate for Japan. I wish I could cancel my existing POs and PW items from them, which is probably why they changed their cancelation policy not too long ago to be much more draconian.
-
I like how the HLJ order deadline is 3 days in the past. Still don't see how this is a "revival" seeing as nothing has changed from the original release, aside from the increased price and lack of the first edition stand.

Hot damn! It's like you took the Arcadia PF version and stuck it in a micronization chamber.

The backpack can be removed easily enough from the main body, but actually opening the backpack to replace the tailfins is another story. The backpack is glued together pretty good, so it's not going to be easy to open it without breaking or damaging it.
