The missile set (if your going to get it) is not going to be cheap to get, unless you want to get the Maruyama (sp?) version.. Big thing to be aware of on the 171 is that the instructions for the leg transformation are wrong. The fighter-to-gerwalk transformation only works because of a technicality in the knee joint design, but it will not work the same in reverse, and they don't include reverse directions. The proper transformation has been discussed at length a couple times here, I'll see if I can dig up the post once I'm on a computer instead of a phone.

I much prefer my Valkyries in Fighter mode.
Chronocidal Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Good deal then, it's a great display piece.
hachi Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Got GBD kits and an RD Guren Nishiki. I don't like the GBD show's MC and have dropped it, but I like the mobile suits from the other characters. I've been wanting a Grimoire Red Beret ever since I saw pics of several builds on r/gunpla (before I ever started watching Build Divers). The Momokapool looks cute and funny so I also got it. I usually don't like Haro but this one was in blue color so I thought I'd try one. I also wanted an SDBD Zeromaru but it's out of stock (and Amazon JP won't let me order one). There's lots of it though in local stores here but I want to wait for a sale.

Lolicon Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Picked up some more starships from Eaglemoss's XL line from their recent sale. All fantastic looking ships without the obvious f***-ups of the Enterprise-A release. Especially love the level of surface detail on the Reliant. "Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise." "From hell's heart I stab at thee!" "The torpedoes will be installed next Tuesday."
Sildani Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Just got my Reliant XL yesterday. Really happy with it, it’s surprisingly heavy with great detail like you said.
Sanity is Optional Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Finally got in the Macross gachas I got from an auction about 2.5months ago, surface shipping be slow.

Slave IV Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 just got all excited that my Psylocke arrive but then I saw her face And was like daaaaamn! But I think all will be well after I open it and massage it a bit.

Well, finally got a VF-0D, but still no Series 1 chase. The Kaiyodo/Movic gachas at least are a reliable 2x of each one per box. Those Regults and Tomahawks are pretty nice looking. With all these little valks I can do a nice display with my SDF-1, once I put it up. Edited December 13, 2018 by Sanity is Optional
raptormesh Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Picked up a CW 1/72 F-14B JR along with a couple of 1/100s. Will crack the Turkey open once the DCS module goes live!

And it looks like eyeballs because the eyes are moveable. A great feature that eliminates googly syndrome that most other figures are plagued with.
anubis20 Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Got PAK Cloud and Fenrir and this is one big ass box! I have no clue how Amazon Japan shipped it to me for ¥1200! Amiami and HLJ's bills for these are gonna suck.
sh9000 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Got another HM VF-1S to keep MISB. Got a Yellow Submarine 1/100 VF-4 long before the HMR VF-4 was announced. I’ll just keep it in the box for now. Got a spare Marvel Legends Jim Lee Cyclops to give this one the jacket. Completed my Marvel Legends BAF Warlock.
Slave IV Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Like Spider Gwen, I think the AY style and and articulation works really well on smaller frame figures. Really liking this one and as I thought, I won't be needing my ML version other than for the BAF part and just to know I have it.

They consistently deliver a whole package that caters to fans and doesn’t insult people’s intellegence or wallets. The upcoming Gambit also looks fantastic and I look forward to getting my hands on it. I think they need to do Nightcrawler soon.
