  1. I had a hole punched right through the box on my vf-25g. Valk was ok. Still i explained to n-y that part of the reason i buy these because they usually hold their value if not go up. Having a hole in the box reduces the value even though the valk inside is ok. Their awesome customer service response was to simply ignore my claims. I emailed them like 3 times before i gave up. This is why i don't care if i preorder and then don't pay.
  2. I hope you used gloves.
  3. The 29 has actually really grown on me. Didn't like the design that much at first. Slowly got used it to it. It's one of the few valks that has it super parts color matched to the valk.
  4. A member gave me their n-y preorder but i think i'll pass that on to someone else now since i got a HLJ preorder.
  5. Thanks for the info. I also love reading about what goes into the production and history of a show i'm interested in. Unfortunately macross info in this regard is quite scarce. Im interested in the disscussion regarding your friends article. I dont recall seeing it back then.
  6. Clash had a lot of the final battle cut out among the other scenes mentioned above. I also assumed Hikaru died at the end which confused the heck out of me when i watched flashback 2012 and saw him in the new post dyrl footage. Personally i thought it was weird they cut so much of the final battle and not trim out some of the slower paced stuff in the middle. It's almost like the editor took only one pass at it. As he was getting closer to the end he realized he still had 20 minutes to cut so the cuts got more frequent and drastic.
  7. Me too. Strange though that n-y isnt sending notices for mp-10 yet.
  8. God Damn it. I missed another batch of preorders. This sucks.
  9. I'm wondering if the arcadia vf-1j white will look different than the yamato version. Not that it matters that much to me.
  10. Is the VF-1J white the same white as the previous Arcadia releases of the roy and hikaru DYRL VF-1S?
  11. I would've been okay if arcadia managed to tampo the intake markings. But neglecting them is a huge fail. Pics are looking awesome. Poor Isamu though. All these years and he's still hasn't been promoted to a 2(3) and 4(5) head laser unit.
  12. Jeez this is taunting me. I'm always missing this.
  13. Damn how do i keep missing these.
  14. I agree. I'd prefer they charged me like $5 less and not include that.

    I wonder why N-Y has not been putting other batches of preorders. Since the vf-19advance they seemed to have stop sourcing out extra copies.
  16. Yeah read all those posts as well as many youtube videos and it didn't help. Considering how easy it looks in some of those videos I'm wondering if it's a particular defect with my copy.
  17. The heat shield is the worse thing about this valk. I've never been able to close it properly. I can get the lower piece to lock but can't get the top piece to lock with the bottom. Also half of the tab that locks the neck into fighter mode broke so the front nose/cockpit area is barely holding in fighter mode. I expect it to break eventually. Anyone know any fixes?
  18. Oh Yeah!!! Love this sentai. I actually typeset most of the show's fan sub. Brings back some great memories.

    It seems just like the vf-19advanced Nippon-Yassen hasn't put any of these up at a marked price. It looks like it's going to be hard to pick this up. I wonder if N-Y has given up on sourcing extras from other retailers?

    Damn missed this. I never seen a preorder night take place on Friday(Thurs Night). I hope i can get one somehow.
  22. Change the way the Vf-11's heat shield works. Haven't ever been able to to close it.
  23. I'm curious to hear this story.
  24. Wow! Hell has officially frozen over. Initially I was super exited when i saw the first post. But now after having some time to digest this news and look more closely at the pictures, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. Like others have said it doesn't look as good as a toy that costs that much. I'll probably still buy one though.
