Already offloaded my Luca and Ozma....and Alto's about to be taken away....

I agree with eugimon on the cracked plastic issue, probably the person tried to fold the wings all the way up. I folded mine gently until I can feel a little bit of resistance, then I stopped. As for my unit, no major complaint other than the left engine nacelle is a bit looser than the right one, and the right cannon being real tight and hard to pull out. Gerwalk mode is a joy, as evident from what other members posted, the nose able to droop so low yet so stable. And the rotating engines add dynamic to what one can pose with the Gerwalk mode. It may not be perfect, but it's beautiful!

Damn! Just when I thought I could save my money for other things........ Looks like Detolf have to wait...again.

It's here! Am I the first in Malaysia to receive this? humongous package! Lucky customs are in a good mood yesterday... Can't wait to open it tonite....after DOTM premier....

I got it for USD195 shipped to Malaysia....and cleared Customs yesterday, weehooo! now waiting anxiously in my office for the call to pickup my parcel....

Thanks Swoosh for all the lovely pics! Can't wait to get my hands on mine....

Love this quote, Matt. Pretty much sum it all up. Just love how Bandai managed to put all those gimmick in the Durandal. QC issues aside, I trust I really gonna enjoy playing with this example of 'little engineering marvel '.

owh, seems like the Durandal is taller than the Lucifer...

All this means I have to start saving and buying all over again! Not really a complaint....I'm already resigned to the life of a fanboy...

Off topic: Suddenly it hits me; Valk is the abbreviation of VF-1 Valkyrie right? So...shouldn't VF25 Messiah be called Messi and VF27 Lucifer called Luci? And the YF29 Durandal as Durie?

Sweet pic charger69! Mine just got shipped.....now, like someone said earlier, the waiting game begins...plus, I'm praying the customs is a little lenient next week since the shipment value went just over the treshhold. Just one question; is the box the same quality like previous DX or better this time?

unfortunately, SAL is not an option.....Amiami charge me Y3000 for EMS, yikes! Ah well, I wanted it so bad, so it's okay........*facepalm

hahah...I know, I know...it's just me falling into my fanboyism. I opt for SAL, so even if I pay the invoice today, I still am going to have to wait for another two weeks for it to arrive. To those who are going to receive their Durandals next week, I envy you!

why is my invoice is not yet in my email? Hope they did not miss my order.... shooting an enquiry to Amiami now.

Oh my, been waiting for this news! My wallet gonna get thin real quick!

now it is 'Temporary Sold Out'.....that was fast! I hope my pals managed to PO on time.

Received mine today! From Hongkong to Malaysia only takes three days via Speedpost! No visible defects so far. Thanks HKCollectibles! *This is a paid advertisement........jk! It's lunch time now in my office, time to 'zoom-zoom'!

Watched the movie last evening with a friend, and I can say it's money well spent! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole show, cause I make it a point, whenever I'm watching an action flick, especially if it involves superheroes, leave all logic behind! Just sit back, absorb the show, and if it's a good or bad movie, you will just know. And I think I also spotted cameo in the Cerebro sequence.

My friend ordered thru HKCollectibles, received in just three working days! Mine haven't harrived yet since I paid the invoice a bit later...heh.

that's what she said! forgive me.....just could not help it.....

Since I use my flexi stands only during exhibitions, my valks have been spared......I'm taking cue from you guys and not use it for permanent display. But I will still be buying these stands due to their flexibility and ease of handling during exhibitions and roadshows.

Just received an email from HKCollectibles, VF-X finally in stock, hurrah! Just have to wait for the final invoice......

welcome back graham! I was suprised too when this topic was suddenly locked...like maybe this info was not supposed to be released to the general masses. I'm looking forward to pics of the prototypes. If the VF-19 Kai gives indication of Yamato's effort from now on, I am extremely optimistic...

I voted no. Enough VF-1 already, I want to see new mechs! VF-0D!

lol'ed at this! btw, I agree with Isamu. If I'm going to be nitpicking with this vf19 kai, I would be better off waiting for a more 'eye-pleasing' variant to come out. I'm not a completist, so I can afford to wait this one out. Again, it's just about personal preferences.
