Reïvaj Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 It looks great with the super parts. Can't wait till they come in. Yeah, IMO it looks better with than without them in fighter mode... Not sure about the battroid mode though...
Jasonc Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah, IMO it looks better with than without them in fighter mode... Not sure about the battroid mode though... Yeah, I agree. I'm a little unsure about it in battroid. The fact that it looks like the wings don't collapse in, may make it look a bit back heavy. If I keep mine, I'll display it forever in fighter, but that's away off.
aurance Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I like my YF-29 a lot, but I think it's a very busy valk. Adding super parts pushes it over the top. Edited November 27, 2011 by aurance
the9breaker Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Anyone gotten a receipt/email/notice of shipping from any of the buyers you guys have acquired it from!? ANYONE!? I will post whenever Tokyo-Hunters shoot me an email of their incoming stock. Stay tuned.
charger69 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Anime-export says it's in stock! I'm waiting for VF-19S to pack them together though
Reïvaj Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Anime-export says it's in stock! I'm waiting for VF-19S to pack them together though You mean the valk or the super parts? I can't see the super parts in stok, while the valk is USD 519, are you ok with that?
charger69 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 In stock IF you preordered..right? Correct, Sir!

typhoon Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I have had my 29 on display for about 4 months in battroid. Nothing special just a typical "A" stance, knees slighlty bent. I decided to change the pose and was amazed at how the leg/hip joins have loosened up. The legs basically keep slowly spreading apart until the intakes prevent them from going any further. Just a little surprised, i'm not new at this hobby and I have read just about every post about Bandai and Yamato having their QC issues. Still when you get an awesome valk that you love - transform it and leave it "untouched" for months only to discover that it no longer holds a pose - man that really sucks. Looks like its back to fighter mode....bring on the VF-19S!!

eugimon Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 word of advice, bandai uses cheap, brittle screws. I've had the heads sheer right off while I was trying to get inside to apply nail polish. Be careful

I was prepared to leave it in fighter but I will try the nail polish. Edited November 29, 2011 by typhoon

Graham Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Got my YF-29 FAST Packs yesterday. They attach very securely in fighter mode. I haven't tried them in other modes and probably won't, as my YF-29 stays in fighter mode permanantly these days, given how much of a pain in the ass it is to transform. There's a high level of detail on the packs and nice fine panel lines. I'm happy that Bandai painted the space between the red micro-missiles black this time, unlike on the Tornado Pack space parts. The only minor issue is with the shield armour. While it clips onto the shield securely, it tends to want to push the shield away from the body of the fighter, so that you often get an about 2mm gap between the shield and the rear of the fighter and from time to time need to push the shield back into position. I haven't extended the anti-Vajra harpoons or auxiliary propellars or whatever they are in my attached pictures, as I think they look stupid. Graham

Graham i think those harpoon are quartz fold emitter that boost the fold signal from rangka that perform like current modern day jetfighter electronic counter meassure .. but..then again i could be wrong
Tking22 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I don't know, I personally thought this thing was ugly from the get go, plus it was exclusive, exclusive, exclusive.

There's nothing like taking multiple systems redundency to a whole new level Graham
the9breaker Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Just got my EMS shipping notice to all those who ordered from Tokyo-Hunters - they are now shipping!!
Swoosh Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Wings can still be extended Edited December 2, 2011 by Swoosh
Dobber Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Swoosh, you really should give a class on taking pictures of toys and models! Beautiful as always!! Chris
ErikElvis Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 As far as the hips go in general on the bandai valks i think i may use doubt sided tape under the feet so they don't want to spread. I have the vf-27 standing there and would hate to pick it up and be a floppy mess.
the9breaker Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Just got it - initial impressions - very small package (a surprise for Bandai) - Pieces fit in like a wonder, can't wait to start panel inking! THE BAD: As I feared, this thing can't hold too many poses without the aid of any kind support once ALL the back parts have been installed, the figure can be posed but very limited choices as the back pieces simply make it flop either down or foward - it stands evenly but very in a very PRECARIOUS manner (and I know any one here can't simply afford a half-a-grand-valkyrie as seen in some ebay listings lately) I will post pics later. Gotta go Paintballing. But so far the super parts give it a very intimidating look, and once again hats off to tokyo hunters for delivering in pretty much record time!! Stay tuned for pics in the pose thread.
jenius Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 My review is up, not quite as many pics as Swoosh provided -
