Mommar Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Sorry to hear that Mommar. I am surprised mine actually showed up today. I have put the parts on, but I am exhausted from work so I'll setup the studio tomorrow and take some photos then. Thanks. Not the end of the world by any means, just irritating after waiting for so long. I have plans for those armors. Quote
abbadon Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Great photos guys! Keep 'em coming! Really love the Tornado parts on the 25G! Quote
brouken Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 And there goes Saburo again, doing what he does best. :-D wmcheng's weathering on the 25F tornado is awesome! Wish I had the time and skill to do that. Quote
Falcon18 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 @wmcheng, Awesome weathering and great photos.. I hope to one day get a light tent too so I can start taking some better pictures.. @saburo, Needless to say, great photo. Even your quick shots beats some of our best shots here. Quote
CRYO Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Just 2 set. These Bandai effect flame parts are really nice and handy Quote

anime52k8 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Sorry to hear that Mommar. I am surprised mine actually showed up today. I have put the parts on, but I am exhausted from work so I'll setup the studio tomorrow and take some photos then. Here's a quick shot from my coffee table. that Looks so good. I kind of want to get the G tornado parts even though I don't have a 25G... Quote
Loop Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Both of my sets arrived today, but to my dismay the box came like this: The G parts seem to have been unaffected, but my F parts box was really bad. I did a fast look over the F parts and they appear to be OK. When I get time I will inspect them really good to make sure there is no damage to the actual parts themselves. Quote
Saburo Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) VF25G with Super & Tornado parts Very nice! that Looks so good. I kind of want to get the G tornado parts even though I don't have a 25G... Maybe get a set in hopes of a G reissue? I still have to take pics of the G Tornado parts on the YF-25 for you, maybe those pics will convince you to get a set.

Geez, its almost like Hasbro or Toys R Us sent that out. Sorry Loop, I hope the parts are ok. Edited August 30, 2014 by Saburo Quote

mickyg Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 That looks amazing! Thanks for posting those, Saburo. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Good pics Saburo! I can't wait to put mine together Quote
Loop Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Where did you order them from? NY, but I would think it was the carriers that damaged the boxes. Quote
technoblue Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 NY, but I would think it was the carriers that damaged the boxes. Oh no! And on a holiday weekend no less. I empathize with you, Loop, and hope those parts are okay. In your shoes, I would call in the incident since it is EMS. I hope crushed packages aren't becoming a trend with the post office. Quote
abbadon Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 @loop Yikes! It's always my concern how packages are handled during shipping. It's good atleast that the parts itself weren't damaged. @saburo Those photos are making me feel bad not owning a 25G! The Tornado parts seem like a perfect match for it. Awesome pics man! Quote
CRYO Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 You sure you don't work for Michael Bay? Michael Bay? I'd rather like to go with J.J. Abrams Quote

I still have to take pics of the G Tornado parts on the YF-25 for you, maybe those pics will convince you to get a set. Stop making me want to buy stuff! and I'll need 2 VF-25G's if I get tornado armor form them, since it looks really good with the tornado parts in fighter mode, but I think it looks better naked in battroid mode. Quote
Saburo Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 That looks amazing! Thanks for posting those, Saburo. Thank you. You are welcome glad you like the photos. Good pics Saburo! I can't wait to put mine together Thanks, glad you got both of your Tornando sets. Looking forward to your pics. @loop Yikes! It's always my concern how packages are handled during shipping. It's good atleast that the parts itself weren't damaged. @saburo Those photos are making me feel bad not owning a 25G! The Tornado parts seem like a perfect match for it. Awesome pics man! Thank you, I hope Bandai reissues the 25G. Yes, the Tornado parts match with the 25G nicely. Stop making me want to buy stuff! and I'll need 2 VF-25G's if I get tornado armor form them, since it looks really good with the tornado parts in fighter mode, but I think it looks better naked in battroid mode. I could say the same for you. You have some really cool stuff on your flickr page. Gerwalk and Battroid look nice, but fighter mode is where it shines. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Loop sorry to see your parts came in that awful state. What is it with postal workers and not giving a crap about the packages in their care? Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Ouch! Sorry bout your packages Loop. Hopefully the F parts are fine. @ Saburo - awesome shots! Edited August 31, 2014 by OzmaLee74 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Make few photos He needs to eat his Wheaties. Quote
Loop Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 As you can see in one of the pics my "hobby table" is loaded up with valks so I will not get a chance to play with them until I clear some stuff off lol. Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Awesome pics as always Saburo. The blue on Michael's Tornado really pops. Quote
Mommar Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Just got my tornado parts today finally. Pulled out one of the wing attachments and the first thing I thought was, "God, Bandai sucks." It felt WAY too heavy even before adding on the boosters on the end, to say nothing of the additional covers or the extra missile boxes. And that brace for Gerwalk that locks the legs in a single place is a terrible design. Not happy with these parts. Completely half-assed. Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 That does seem to be Bandai's standard method of operations, you know. Quote
Mommar Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 That does seem to be Bandai's standard method of operations, you know. Pretty much since the 171 CF they've been heading back that direction, yes. Quote
Swoosh Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Great Saburo, Tornado Pack looks better on 25G than 25F. Quote
