spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 @Spanner76 I might start this arvo. Im home sick. I'm also out of sealer, and i dont want it to rub. does it require a sealer too? I guess that kinda makes sense.. does it just run over the top after you apply the lines? Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Nice pics! Looks great in every angle Quote
Scream Man Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 The ankles are real tight. Id suggest collapsing the feet closed before you change the angle much. Its OK, just don't push them. So far the only trouble I have had is getting back to fighter and making it all lock tightly. Its doable, just a tad fiddley. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Also the Sticker sheet is great! they even include a giant version of each sticker so that you can see what the small ones say Its strange how.... old the plane feels. Like compared to the sleek super advance designs of some of the other ones, the fighter mode looks like it could be a modern day plane. Its kinda fun Quote
treatment Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) The ankles are real tight. Id suggest collapsing the feet closed before you change the angle much. Its OK, just don't push them. So far the only trouble I have had is getting back to fighter and making it all lock tightly. Its doable, just a tad fiddley. I don't have a VF-19 or the Arcadia YF-19, but Veef seems a bit pessimistic (resigned?) about the ball-joint ankle in the video-review's gerwalk-mode segment. Are you or anybody worried about it at all getting loosey quick or something? Also, I'm still watching the video-review, but can someone else confirm that Arcadia did away with the pilot-seat recline/rotate feature? Edited March 4, 2015 by treatment Quote
Scream Man Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I dunno,. maybe i havent even extended it out to far enough, but it seems pretty solid to me overall. The ankles don't stick out very far Quote
abbadon Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I just got mine. I'll try to post pics later after I've fiddled with it some more. I do like the blue on this thing. Not accurate, but I like it. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I love this thing. Only spent about 15 minutes so far but I gotta eat dinner and clean up first. It's pretty damned good! Quote
troyness Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I dunno,. maybe i havent even extended it out to far enough, but it seems pretty solid to me overall. The ankles don't stick out very far Do you need to pull the feet out to get the full ROM with the ankle pivot? Quote
ZDZIYO Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This thing looks sooooooo beautiful. If I were not married I would have bought one more. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Has anyone posted what all it comes with? Like stand adapters, how many of each missile, etc? Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This thing looks sooooooo beautiful. If I were not married I would have bought one more. What she doesn't know won't hurt, just ask Peter Griffin! Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks for the review VEEF. It convinced me to pick up another. I can't wait to get to the PO today. Gonna be a good week. Just got my first SV-51 too. Quote
spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I bought 3 for myself but now that my son has seen all the delicious pics everyone is posting up, he wants one! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I bought 3 for myself but now that my son has seen all the delicious pics everyone is posting up, he wants one! 3 for spanner, none for his child Quote
Zaid Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Anyone post a picture of the VF-0D in comparative size to the VF-25 of YF-29? Supposedly this is about 10 cm's larger. I'm curious how drastic that is side by side. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Has anyone posted what all it comes with? Like stand adapters, how many of each missile, etc? I haven't but I'll grab a pic later. To list: 2 x Pilots 2 x Missile pods 2 x missiles (That go at the ends of the wings) Engine Covers Gunpod 2 x Piot tubes (i assume a spare in case you break one. 3 adapter pieces, one for each mode. I never pay CLOSE attention to these, but they feel different to older ones. Thicker and heavier. Quote
spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 3 for spanner, none for his child hehe! yeah but he didn't want one originally.. he was only ever interested in the Frontier stuff.. but now he's finally realizing that the Valks from the other series are cool too! He even said something positive about the VF-1J GBP set! Quote

spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) nah jk, you're one of the most generous dads getting your son all those expensive valks hehe! thanks man! but my son is one cool kid so I just cant help it! Im loving the fact that he has developed such a strong following for Macross! His mum (my ex) friggin hates it! It really burns her up pretty bad that he doesn't share an interest in anything she likes! haha! suck on a fat one you silly cow! Edited March 4, 2015 by spanner76 Quote

I'm curious how drastic that is side by side. Check around the top of page 100. There's a pic of the 25A in Tornado pack. The pack makes it look huge and comparable to the 0D in size. I don't think anyone posted pics of a naked 25 next to a 0D yet though. Edited March 4, 2015 by xrentonx Quote
ULessa Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 After seeing Andrew's review I want it again now! The cash is too tight so hopefully this thing will go on sale one day. hopefully Quote
spanner Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 pilot comparison: the Isamu pilot figure smokes them! followed by the Zero pilots and the rest are junk.. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I was actually surprised to see the fighter mode adapter got so... well.. bloated. It used to be a nice slim piece that fit around the gunpod, and between the intakes, but this one is more like a mounting bracket. I know it's probably sturdy, but man does it look ugly. Quote
chyll2 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 okay guys, Im convinced that I was wrong to skip this. So I need to sell my upcoming MB Avalanche exia to give way to this, hopefully, the price has not yet gone up by then. Quote

Though it looks like there isn't too much real estate to put it anywhere else or at least make it a slimmer T-shape or something. Nice pics abbadon! Edited March 4, 2015 by wmkjr Quote

chyll2 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 is it weapons plus pack? if so pm me if you want me to take your preorder off your hands. lol OT: it is the regular release that I won at YJA, it has the avalanche part included as well. Though even if you are interested, I am at the other side of the world and shipping alone will increase the price a lot Thanks Andrew for the review. It is a good valk Quote
