Yo man that's just f ucking ridiculous! Gimme one of those damn cases! Congrats on the haul bro! Is that second case full of VT-1's or something else? If I can leave these damn 1/48's alone I might be able to start back on my 1/60 collection.

These appear to be models though...

What he said!

About how much is HK$988 in $US?

It's possible, but I would definitely say keep trying. From my short time being here, LOS is a stand-up guy with a good reputation around these parts! Can't go wrong!

Aint that the truth! Steep shipping be damned; I've got to have this for my collection!

Especially considering that many are saying the box is somewhat smaller than previous v2 releases.

I'm hoping some of those 1/60 waterslide decals I got can be put to use to help dress this beauty up. Damn that's nice!

Damn! What a haul! I can remember those purchases when I first started collecting. Nothing like coming to the office (and home sometimes once the wife realized I had a new hobby) and seeing a nice huge box from Japn full of goodies! Congrats! You will be happy with all those!

Meh...I'd rather have the white and blue version which sounds to be tighter painted in its original paint scheme.

I have to agree with the comments here. Most of my collection sits in open glass cubes next to a window. Although the blinds are kept closed and I keep Valks with color closest to the window there are days where sunlight is coming in, but I have not experienced any yellowing on any of my Valks (knock on wood...knock knock!). Mind you I have only been collecting since January 2008 so most of my stuff is fairly new, but never played with; only displayed. I think what initially drew me to the Yamato brand of Valks was the innovation and accuracy of the "toy". Since learning more about the hobby I have seen that models make the toys look like; well toys, but they are still magnificent to look at.

This should interesting...

This is one exclusive that I dont' even care about. I think the best explaination was cotton balls exploding with cigarette tips or somethin to that nature. Anywho, the exclusiveness of these parts are disappointing to say the least. No lost on my part at least. If you're going to make something truly exclusive make somethin iconic like Hikaru elevating out of the VF-1D trainer! Ya listenin' Yamato! HUH? HUH? HUH????

How about that.

LMAO!!! I was thinking the exact same thing. Looks like flippin' clouds coming out the armor's chest. Really kinda silly looking.

Well, at least he can part it out if anyone is waiting on spare parts from Over-Drive...

Both of these are awesome! Wouldn't have thought to do that with my Valks! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the pics ff95gj. How tight is it? Does it have the same looseness and floppyness as the original YF-19?

Yep.
