It was pretty expensive given the exchange rate at the time. Cruiser mode pic taken in low light.

Still working on my displays when I turned off the cabinet lights and saw the SDF-1's paint was glowing, so I snapped a quick pic.
-
Uh, let's just say I am too scared to open it now, or ever. PF 19 is up there as one of the best valkyrie toys ever IMO. I've only seen it pop up on Mandarake a couple of times. It was 50k iirc but with the current exchange rate it's cheaper than when I got mine.

Now that I have a second set of moducases built, I have enough space to separate out SDFM and DYRL into separate shelves. Have space for my second SDF-1 in cruiser mode and Bandai's DX stuff too. In the process of moving my collection to the new cases so I can move the old cases from my living area into my office/ready room. Probably going to be a multi-week project...

Bandai probably going to charge 18000 or more.

PF 0D still the best valkyrie toy ever. -
The pre-renewal frontier toys were pretty awful, but you actually made it look good there.
-
No, not yet. I'm currently in the process of assembling my newly arrived set of moducases to house the rest of my collection. Magnets worked great on Yamato's releases... when they didn't screw up the assembly. Didn't a few people get copies where the magnets were installed incorrectly and it repelled their fast packs instead?

Taking cues from Bandai's DX
-
So who preordered the PG unleashed Nu? Got one at HLJ but who knows when I will have time to put it together.
-
Interesting. I guess I'll have to break out the armor parts to check.
-
The whites on some on a number of my Bandai valks that I've had for a long time have either faded or flat out yellowed. When the white fades, it's only really only noticeable next to the painted parts and/or parts that used a slightly different plastic (or placed next to a brand new revival) but it's there. Yamato valks I've had even longer have not really had issues with yellowing at all. Bandai seems to use a cheaper plastic, at least on these older toys. Only time will tell if they improved it on the revivals. Check another box on the "Bandai cuts corners" list.

Really wish Arcadia would do a new ghost. -
Do you use a camera or your phone to take these pics?
-
It's punishment for not liking Gundam enough.

Received my copy. Just on a cursory glance it looks like instead of a single slot on the leg (near the foot) for the attachments, there are now two slots above and below the center line. Probably why the armor parts will no longer fit.
-
The weight of the wing attachments cause the entire wing assembly to sag, which causes the stabilizers to drag along the ground. Found the thread with the fix:
-
I'm interested in knowing if they fixed the wing sagging when the parts are attached.
-
Nice! Just recently picked up the 19 add on parts but I need a YF-21.
-
The decal sheet for the VF-19 model kit has a lot of large, obnoxious FIRE BOMBER decals. I'm glad Bandai showed some restraint for the DX.
-
Paypal, HLJ, Bandai, etc. use a crappier exchange rate and pocket the difference if you pay in another currency. Like the above post said: always pay in yen. If you buy a lot of stuff from Japan, it's best to use a CC that has zero foreign transaction fees.

Just bought the last copy at HLJ with a coupon. I have the original 0A release but I wanted an updated copy that won't scratch the canopy during transformation and though the leg hasn't fallen off yet on my original, I'd prefer to have one where I don't have to worry about it all. I'm sure there will be additional restocks (it's already been in discontinued status and restocked at least once since release). UPDATE: And within minutes of this post, HLJ updated the 0A from "discontinued" to "restock in 3-5 days."
