Kanedas Bike Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If you live in the States and many other countries, Amazon.com.jp will not ship toys, and relevant to this discussion, Macross items to you. You have to have a proxy buyer. If it were that easy, affiliate or not, most of us would probably have a ton of stuff via Amazon. -b. Quote

ULessa Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I feel like I should stop coming to this thread. Making me want a 25 so bad. Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) i opened mine today. there's a small circle in the form tray that's blank? (next to the knife and spare hands) was something suppose to be there? (never opened any of my vf-25's) apologies first time ever... Edited June 27, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote

It was for a clear, round stand to set the included Alto Ex-Gear fig on. Quote

Always open up the spare! Otherwise you're only collecting nice-looking boxes! I'm always afraid of scratching em, so I choose the less well painted valk to transform. Quote
ULessa Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 My wallet cannot handle all this and I just told myself to stop coming to this thread but here I am abit over 12 hours later... AGHHH I really hope the price on this one doesn't jump up. Love the orange and decals on it Quote
spanner Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Mine arrived today! Finish quality looks quite good! Loving the paint scheme! Looks so much better in the flesh than from pics on the net. Blue paint edge on the spine isn't quite consistent but other than that no major or silly defects to report.. overall im extremely happy with it! Will see how long it takes the misses to notice another Valkyrie sitting in the collection! I can see it now.. "oh really! Another one!?" Quote
Xigfrid Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Nice shots Valk-Magnus Saburo! (sorry I misstook with a quote from V-Magnus), this is really a beautiful bird. I am happy to not have passed this one Edited June 27, 2014 by Xigfrid Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 My first YF-25 arrived yesterday from AmiAmi, but I'm resisting the urge to open it until the two I ordered from 'another' store show up. Call it a weird mix of OCD and paranoia that I can't open one of a 'thing' until I have all of them. Until then I'll just keep looking at everyone's pics. -b. Quote
chyll2 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 because of saburo, many MWF folks now wanted one Quote
ErikElvis Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I thought Battroid was my favorite mode with this but Im pretty sure I like fighter and gerwalk better. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I LOVE the way this deco calls to min dteh YF-16 deco...orange vs. red but its a reddish orange but still. love love love it in fighter mode. the ironic part is that from the front view it looks (if you squint hard enough) a tiny bit likts its competitor the yf-17 (which we know today as the f-18 hornet) Quote

For those that have theirs and transformed the VF-25, were the hip joints exceptionally tight? I had to use much more force (compared to the VF-25A) to rotate them into place when going into Battroid mode. Edited June 28, 2014 by Saburo Quote

I wasn't planning on keeping my YF-25 but it looks so sweet now. Edited June 27, 2014 by neoexcaliber Quote

Its good that you are keeping the YF-25, now you won't have to go through regret if you sold/traded it. Quote

And that's exactly what I told my wife when I bought some more shelves for this and the 1/48 MM that are on the way... Great pictures, Saburo! Quote

Shukenzero Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Finally caved in! Looks super sharp. The colours pop so much even my gf says she can recognise it over the others. Quote

Shukenzero Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Anyone else find the right flap on the front landing gear never sitting properly? I've had it with a number of Bandai valks. There seems to not be enough clearance for the hinge to wiggle, making it jut out an at angle unless forced into the closed position. Quote
ULessa Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I feel like I'm going to cave in and buy one... SOMEONE BUY IT BEFORE ME! (Possible regret commence) Quote
