Loop Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 LOL, it's to the point that I don't have to explain. It's expected that I will have new valks show up either a couple times a month or whenever a new release comes out. I love that my wife is so understanding. Quote
Saburo Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Well I appreciate the ideas, everyone. I'll let you know how it goes. Just take your time and don't rush it. I was working a paint issue with one of other figures, I got anxious and it didn't turn out well, so I had to redo it again. Thanks Naw. Gotta get at least one Yam/Arcadia VF-1. They're simple yet beautiful. Though once you get one, you might get more.. lol. I am on the hunt. I have reading through Jenius' guides, its just trying to figure out which were the bad builds and good build of Yamato VF-1's when looking around online. Yes, one VF-1 is never gonna be enough. It's like they breed in display cases... or that's how I explain it to my good lady. I know I'll get one, I just to make sure I don't go crazy on the purchases. LOL, the stork shows up every month with a new addition to the family. LOL, it's to the point that I don't have to explain. It's expected that I will have new valks show up either a couple times a month or whenever a new release comes out. I love that my wife is so understanding. You are a lucky man Loop. Quote

There's no bad build to that with shapeways shoulder replacements. Quote
skullmilitia Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I got mine coming in next week, I think I'll put the 25G toronado parts on it. Until they make a YF specific armor set. Quote
Saburo Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Just get any V2. There's no bad build to that with shapeways shoulder replacements. Thanks Falcon, that should help with the hunt. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Yes, one VF-1 is never gonna be enough. It's like they breed in display cases... or that's how I explain it to my good lady. True. The VF-1's is like a mushroom. Or better yet, like 7-11 or McDonalds. They don't stop growing. LOL, it's to the point that I don't have to explain. It's expected that I will have new valks show up either a couple times a month or whenever a new release comes out. I love that my wife is so understanding. Lucky you, Loop. I'm sure everyone's wives will be like that, so understanding, as long that everyone also have unlimited funds. Hehehe. I wish that all the time so I don't need to explain why I keep and will keep on buying. Hahaha! Just get any V2. There's no bad build to that with shapeways shoulder replacements. Does the Arcadia releases still suffers from the bad shoulder syndrome? But it's true that all the replacement parts at Shapeways is superb. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Ha so do I. My wife too I very understanding because I am of her many purses Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 True. The VF-1's is like a mushroom. Or better yet, like 7-11 or McDonalds. They don't stop growing. Lucky you, Loop. I'm sure everyone's wives will be like that, so understanding, as long that everyone also have unlimited funds. Hehehe. I wish that all the time so I don't need to explain why I keep and will keep on buying. Hahaha! Does the Arcadia releases still suffers from the bad shoulder syndrome? But it's true that all the replacement parts at Shapeways is superb. To the very best of my knowledge the Arcadia VF-1's (Hikaru and Roy VF-1S's and 30th Anniversary VF-1J) are all problem and breakage free. Yamato was able to nip that particular problem in the bud. I wish I had unlimited funds lol. Ha so do I. My wife too I very understanding because I am of her many purses Wishing for unlimited funds? Me three. -b. Quote
Falcon18 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Does the Arcadia releases still suffers from the bad shoulder syndrome? But it's true that all the replacement parts at Shapeways is superb. AFAIK, nope. My Hik 1S is problem free as far as I can tell. Quote
close313 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 My YF-25 arrived today. I was shocked because it was shipped by unregistered SAL and it was shipped two days later than my registered SAL MG Unicorn Banshee (both from NY). The latter has yet to reach me though it is already at the processing centre. I love the colours but I was expecting the orange to be more yellow than what it is. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-106908 17 more at CDjapan if you missed it. Quote
Loop Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Tempted to get a 3rd one, I intended to use my 3x 25A's as my multiple mode display naked, but ended up buying supers for them and think I may display them in all modes super parted. . If I get a 3rd YF-25 I can setup a naked display of all 3 modes, but knowing how Bandai likes to milk us I wonder if the Paladin parts would see the light of day. Sigh...

Gakken85 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Heh. Who knows. I'm happy with one. Mine was in my mail box when I got back from the beach. Happy to have it and break it open later. Quote
Sandman Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Damn I would actually get another but I have to pay for tornado parts x2, VF-25f and alto yf-29 super parts. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Took a few photos in the evening light. Beautiful bird. I'm not a huge fan of Frontier and bandai valks, but the fighter modes can't be fraked with. Quote
Saburo Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Nice shot TCracker, looking forward to your action poses. Took a few photos in the evening light. Beautiful bird. I'm not a huge fan of Frontier and bandai valks, but the fighter modes can't be fraked with. Awesome shots Gakken85! Godzilla not coming over today? j/k Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Getting easier to find...urge to purchase increasing. Quote
mechaninac Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Got mine delivered from AmiAmi; I'm still flabbergasted I was able to get one off them. Checked it out and it looks flawless and with no paint bleed or fuzzy edges; although, the wings still exhibit a slight up-turn bend... Bandai... Quote
Falcon18 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Took a few photos in the evening light. Beautiful bird. I'm not a huge fan of Frontier and bandai valks, but the fighter modes can't be fraked with. Agreed. The fighter mode is really nice. Especially with all the colours showing like that. Getting easier to find...urge to purchase increasing. Get it! Got mine delivered from AmiAmi; I'm still flabbergasted I was able to get one off them. Checked it out and it looks flawless and with no paint bleed or fuzzy edges; although, the wings still exhibit a slight up-turn bend... Bandai... My right wing has a slight upward bend as well. Left wing is fine though. Edit: Edited July 6, 2014 by Falcon18 Quote
Benbot Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Still 16 left at CD Japan. I guess I'm the only one who bought one from this restock. Quote
CoreyD Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Hey, just wanted to say "thanks" for recommending the toothpick + 91% alcohol to remove the paint overspill on my YF-25. Worked perfectly! Quote
mechaninac Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm happy it worked for you just as intended; always glad to be of help. Quote
ULessa Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Guess my moneys going into the VF-25F since I managed to get it from HLJ (Hurray for cheap(ish) EMS). Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Finally got my copy today. I noticed that the shipping box looks like it got wet and dried up. Noticed a little crease on the front of the toy box itself. A sigh of relief came when I opened it and the toy was undamaged. Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Sweet Ozama. Yeah 1 is enough for me. Too many other things to buy haha Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks Gakken! Yup! Only one since I got other preorders for non macross stuff. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Up at amiami but prices are a bit high. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-004931&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dyf-25%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Edit: Didn't realise it was pre-owned. Please ignore. Edited July 11, 2014 by neoexcaliber Quote
