ultraman zoffy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) My 29 just arrived today, and I'd have to say that I like it as much as my 25S and F. Another sexy valk for my detolfs... Edited June 14, 2012 by ultraman zoffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 nippon-yasan came through and i've just received my 29 today. first time to order from them, so i got a bit worried when it went past the usual 2 weeks delivery time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Congrats to all who got their YF-29... @ultraman zoffy - very nice trio of valks there... The more i see the YF-29 the more i'm leaning towards the YF-29 > VF-25 club. I have to watch the movie again and see it in action. I love the classic look of the 25 but its like when i first watched Mac+ and saw the YF-19... I was totally blown away by the coolness and advanced look of the 19. Really, the only thing holding the 29 back is the color scheme... but it's starting to grow on me. Edited June 14, 2012 by m0n5t3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraman zoffy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 @monster - honestly, I bought the 29 as an impulse buy after preordering a 25G because I kept thinking about how sick they'd look next to my red and blue Max and Miriya vf-1j's. It's definitely grown on me since I took it out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanix Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Selling my extra YF-29 if anyone interested, probably more expensive (or roughly the same after conversion and shipping) than the one at TH though - just covering the cost I got it at and shipping. It's in the sales section, feel free to PM me if anyone's interested. Edited June 14, 2012 by Phalanix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultraman zoffy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Finally snapped a pic capturing the whole reason I bought a Durandal (well, main reason): to put it next my Miriya VF-1J. If only the Durandal was flown by a hot female pilot ace instead of a dude that looks like a chick. I guess I can always imagine Sheryl as an ace pilot of the YF-29... lol.

xrentonx Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Now that I've had the Durandal for about a month I'm gonna say I prefer it in fighter mode for sure. I had one hell of a time transforming the thing though. It took me 15 minutes trying to get the head back into the body so that it is flush in fighter mode. I like it and all but this one stays in fighter mode for good unless I'm feeling saucy and want to go through the transformation again.

hkj711 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I like the look of the yf-29 in fighter mode just a bit more than I do the vf-25. Also, I had a heck of a time transforming it to battroid which is the mode it's going to stay in. Trying to get the head out was a pain. In terms of build quality, the paint apps are pretty good but I did notice some stress marks on the hinges (around the metal pin) connecting the chest plate to the shoulder plates on both sides.

Murphy Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I like the VF-25 better.I don't dislike the YF-29 i just think it has too many engines for my taste if it didn't have the wing engines I would like it better , so i decided to separate the 29 to make room for the 171, so i took a old fish tank I haven't used since college and got a polycarbonate lexan sheet to replace the top and you get this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhary Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I really want the superparts but I do not think pay more that cost me the own durandal so assume that wait if discount in the future to pick one by the way I try to emulate this pose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usagiz Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I cancelled my YF-29 preorder long, no regrets! But if they ever put out the Ozma version, I would definatly buy one!! (null) Edited June 27, 2012 by usagiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was able to get a YF-29 reisue... no regrets on that score. I do hope to catch a VF-25S renewal reissue if/when it happens, just have to be ready to pounce as soon as preorders open and hope that when I do they are still available.

Loop Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I just got my 29 reissue today, have not had a chance to open it. I think I may just keep it in the box until I can figure out if I can complete the cast of Frontier. Edited June 27, 2012 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
