man, that gunpod for the VF-25F is absolutely lame... esp. seeing as bandai were able to incorporate some of the simpler gimmicks for the rifles of even the earliest Robot Damashii figs. hell, even the old revy VF-1's gunpod seems better w/ the swappable parts 'n all. i haven't seen any pics of the VF-25G's sniper rifle w/ those balancers folded down...

i'm a big fan of these RDs... i have quite a few plus some more coming in including the Q-Rea... but i'll pass on the Super Alto for now in the hopes of an armored one in the future, but i'll definitely be getting the Super 25G to go w/ Klan's Q-Rea.... i just hope they don't make the Armored Alto or even just the armor parts an exclusive seeing as the Robot Damashii line has been churning out quite a lot of exclusives lately (w/c includes the Pixie Q-Rea)... EDIT - good thing though that Klan's Q-Rea didn't end up being an exclusive since it's a Quedluun "Rare"...

nice shots! q... how stable is the 1/60 VF-1 on that hase stand? how much can you bank it w/out falling over to the side?

release date is on the 14th - http://tamashii.jp/item/item.php?eid=01177&pref=301 guess we'll just have to wait and see. the sms logo on the stand is supposed to be painted like in the pic.

nevermind... guess nobody was buying these... Yamato blinked first

in all honestly, sarcasm doesn't really suit you... leave that stuff to eugimon... lol

just a heads up for those still concerned about them shoulder hinges... i was playing w/ my VT-1 and realized that the shoulder hinge pins have them knurling on them... checked my VE-1 too and i was relieved that the shoulder pins on the VE-1 didn't have the knurling on them... not sure if it's only my VT-1 or there are others out there... i'm guessing a lazy ass factory worker just picked up the wrong kind of pins meant for a different part of the valk...

LOL it's been like, what, a little more than 1 week and this thread has degraded to this... still good for some laughs though,

took me a while to figure that out, doh... but yeah, on mine the back part doesn't pop up even if i squeeze the belly plates tight (and i like to make sure them feet/toes are properly aligned too...)

guess that settles that... me, i guess i have more patience than money <----- (wondering who is PM'ing Graham for his possible freebie SDF-1) EDIT - but yeah, just give it to Shawn on behalf of MW... if anybody here deserves a free SDF-1...

i love 'em 2-seaters!

lol, that big revy ball joint stand connector under the nose (w/c i figure doubles as the crotch connection thingy) looks fugly in f-mode... i hope there's a different way to mount the fighter on the stand... i'm guessing also no landing gears???

nice!... so where are the Super Parts???

wow, that's like ∞ number of Big Macs!!! guess i won't be getting one now, LOL! i think the 12 in the title might mean the date, as in December... release date??? EDIT - now everybody should have a chance to rant and then we can perhaps close this thread, yes?

wow, looks great, but i still fear the eventual sticker price for this... hope they make a TV version. and the 8 VF-1Js in transformation sequence looks really cool...

yep! rumors have been flying around since last year that a re-issue was coming, but never materialized up until now... i'm soooo glad i didn't get any of the Aoshima kaisers too... http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX07004 although, i think AE has the cheapest online pre-order price for this...

@ P100/BigMac that should only be equivalent to 115 Big Mac meals. for 1,150 big mac meals i should get ~20 valks! the VF-11B is down to ~91 Big Mac meals already so the 11C's price should go down eventually... but still, i find it very odd here in the PH that pre-order prices are not discounted like w/ various online shops... overestimated even, like they're maxing out the probable s/h and customs taxes...

as always, awesome pics eugimon... i for one prefer the VE-1 in fighter mode... well, in that case... good luck w/ getting that dream house of yours!

it's about time you get a new valk or two... stop wasting all your dough on cam stuff, lol ... next thing you know you'll be getting a dry cab for all that gear... j/k

there you go...

yep... i was all set on getting this but due to the lack of diecast and poor articulation i decided not to get the GX-49... good thing coz the MaxGokin Mazinkaiser will be re-issued (pre-ordered!!! )... good thing i didn't drop the $300+ asking price for the last one i saw earlier this year...

while i was gawking at my VE-1, i couldn't help but think that a TV ver. VF-1S Roy would look nice having the same gray color as the VE-1... (and the dish will forever remind me of the USS Enterprise D, lol )

no problems here w/ fitting the pilot figs in the cockpit, just took me a few secs to get the in... and like somebody mentioned, lots of head clearance... and the hatch snaps shut very nicely... the backpack w/ FPs on mine are actually more secure than on my VT-1... i can hold it up by the FPs w/out any plastic creaking sound yeah, those arm armors are a b1tch to remove once you've put them on the valk... and the yellow on the FPs does look a little off (too light compared to the nosecone, not sure though if it should be that way...) very, very nice...

lol at me! :lol: for a second there i thought i got a lemon coz i thought the backpack was missing a piece... love it... esp. all the added small tampo printing all over the valk! all future releases should be tampoed up like this.

lolz... AWESOME stuff ruskii!!! love it!
