Haha, the last batch of pics anwsered your question ^_^

haha thanks. :D

now that i know it can stand upright, can it strike a pose?

can the head be extended up in fighter mode?

and most importantly, how much did it cost you?

Dumb question regarding the box....Do we read that "SV-51r?" Or "SV-51 Nu?"

Wouldn't that be "SV-51 Gamma"?

Nu looks like a V, while Gamma looks like like a 'Y', or 'r'.

I paid more than I expected, but just like Graham said, I can't wait anymore...

I live in HK, so you guys may not want to know how much I get it :D

Ladies and gentlemen......i present you, best valk toy of the decade. Seriously. That thing is a marvel. And when I saw the size comparison pics.....I think I came twice. Nice job Swoosh. You're awesome.

And is it me but do the hands look chunkier than the chicken hands everyone keeps complaining about? ZOMG

Just got mine, fiddle around with it also just now, seems like no QC problems/issues so far (Very good sign). Too tired and exhausted to do a full transformation after a long day's of work. Will wait for graham's video demo as a guide before i transform mine fully.

Swoosh, you are very brave man in transforming it w/o looking at manuals. :blink: So far all is good except for the boosters and missiles seems abit too heavy for mounting on the wings, other than that, its a beauty to behold! Seems like yamato have done a through R&D on the SV-51, thus minimising the occurence of problems.

yups dnd, cant imagine what they are paying for the SV-51 in Hongkong ^_^ I think its slightly lower than what we pay locally here, which is about USD$150

Haha yea, I was thinking it looked like a fancy/stylized "V." Duh. Gamma. Thanks!

Hi Recon, can the missile (black ones) on yours attach properly on the wings?

So will there be stress fractures on the wings showing up if they are fully displayed with the missiles and boosters and then propped up on the display stand?

Almost forgot to take some pics of the best feature that comes with the Yamato SV-51...

I think that's the best way to add all weapon without giving too much stress to the wings, and most important.... it save space!! :lol:

Oh my, I think I am not the only one who had multiple orgasms looking at swoosh's photos!

Thank you Swoosh for the awesome photos! Your photos are always so sexy! When you posted the photos for the VF-0A Shin W booster, I was not planning on getting it, but after seeing your shots, I bought it the next day!

This is really a beautiful Valkyrie! Unfortunately I do not have the funds to get this today but I am so totally getting an SV-51 as soon as I can.

Thanks again Swoosh and Graham of course too!

Unbelievable.

Fighter, Gerwalk, Battroid...they all look flawless. (except those goofy intakes, but oh well.)

Also, the wings would probably droop in real life with all that weight on them too. Remember, there is a difference between sitting on a runway and flying through the sky with air passing over/under the wings at the speed of sound. ...Not that I wouldn't prefer perfectly rigid wings, I'm just saying....it's probably realistic in a way.

PS/Edit: I can't wait for a Dobber scheme!

Can you attach the gun on the side of the leg in battroid mode like Ivanov did in the show ?

For those who pre-ordered from toy-wave i got an email from there saying they will ship the SV-51 early next week. B))

HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD O_O. That valk is freakin awesome! Are those hands on the SV-51 still the chicken hands? Besides the wing and missile issue I don't really mind it. So far so good on the 1st release sounds like yamato has broken their curse (so far) without dropping a bomb. Now when will we the buyers in the USA get ours? You lucky HK people not only get it for a cheaper price than us, but you get it a lot faster than us too. **sobs** Anyways thank you Swoosh and Graham for the awesome pictures!!!

Havent tried the black ones, they are quite heavy but defintely lighter than the booster itself. Busy week for me but im happy cos of the SV-51 ^_^:wacko:

WOW!!!! Thanks Swoosh!!! I really can't wait to get this thing. I keep checking my email to see if HLJ has shipped yet!! I too really hope they make my scheme, that would be too cool!! I told my wife about that slight possibility and she thought that was awesome...so I guess she wouldn't mind me shelling out the doe for one then! :D

Not sure if I got ripped off or not. I ordered the sv-51 from play-asia.com website. I looked at the box (in the pictures on the site) and it does say Yamato, but I just noticed under the name, "Happinet". Is that just a order company? Or is that a fake make of the Yamoto toys? If it is, I need to cancel the order. I don't read japanese so I cant tell what kind of site Happinet is.

Btw, for those who have it, how does it stay in the different forms? Ite parts aren't loose are they?

Thanks!
