Have to say Bandai is upping their game with this. Very exciting release.

Aaaand this just got moved to high priority as soon as I can afford it, that looks amazing

[ChaoticYeti]

So, there is a tab that gets pulled out and tabbed into the nose cone?

[Loop]

Thanks for all the pics Swoosh, so glad I sprung for a second one last night.

Someone mentioned this is a matte finish, is it the body also or just all of the paint apps?

[Skylynx]

Go Go Go! Go for Gold!

Just got my payment request from HLJ

[spanner]

Holy crap it looks amazing!! Hopefully will have mine by Tuesday or Wednesday..

Wishing I didn't use SAL right about now.

Don't feel bad. It's understandable. But jjust think of the amount you saved. That's what I do. I don't want to get carried away by the hype for now so I can save a little. And that little makes a big difference. Just my 2 cents.

I hear ya...but CDJ was charging 5,700 yen for EMS.

I ended up going Registered SAL for 2,200 yen.

Damnnnnnn! That's redic!

AmiAmi only charged me 32$ for EMS.

Ouch gouge!

[jenius]

I paid 3200 for ems through anime export.

Waiting for your review.

[jenius]

It will be at the top of my list.

[xrentonx]

That waist joint is super impressive! Makes Gerwalk/Battroid even more dynamic. The future has arrived

[Scyla]

I hope Bandai does the Skywarp repaint of this one.

And we (by which I mean I) desperate need some additional weapon bays for this one. A transforming BFG would be awesome. And conformable missile pods for the forearms.

[Swoosh]

Except the feet, the whole thing is in matte finish(including the canopy )

[spanner]

might have to buy a second one so I can have both fighter and battroid modes on display! looks so mega hot without the missle pod!

Why are they doing this to me. The (probably) last new mold for Frontier and it has a different finish than all the other products for that line? Sometimes I hate my ocd.

So does this mean Bandai will release a ReRenewal version of the Messiahs all in matte finish? Awesome than I have to rebuy all of them just to see that the V2 YF-30 will have a glossy finish. "§$"!§$&"§$!°"&%"§$ Bandai

Oh well it will go on the pile of toys that don't fit in a collection. Together with the VF-19S. Best toy I have in my collection but is utterly out of place with the other M7 Valkyries I have (and all the other Yamcadia stuff I have). !"§!%$&"§$"§$ Yamcadia.

It's not from Frontier. It's from Macross 30.

[Swoosh]

Some side by side comparison

[mechaninac]

Nice comparison pictures... the SV-51 is such a beast.

[Golden Arms]

Awesome Pics Swoosh!!!!

Damn, I'm going to be out of town when both of mine arrive.

Yeah the SV-51 is not collector friendly. Nearly impossible to properly store in a detolf cabinet if you are a fighter mode person.

Thanks, Swoosh.

It's Frontier era, no need to split hairs.

[94medition]

Nice comparison pics! Thanks Bro. Swoosh started posting pics early in the morning.

[ff95gj]

The YF-30 is like a Yammie to me. Matte, clean finishing, well thought transformation mechanism, nice proportion, good articulation, tight joints and all implemented right.

What else could you ask for a valk?

[xrentonx]

Love those comparisons. A fighter mode fan's dream come true!

[CoreyD]

Beautiful. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

[ChaoticYeti]

Great pics, guys!
