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.

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.

@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. :lol:

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... :(

Both of my sets arrived today, but to my dismay the box came like this:

F961B496-9CBD-4F7A-BD98-AC4530EA12BF_zps

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.

VF25G with Super & Tornado parts ^_^

Very nice!

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. :D

Geez, its almost like Hasbro or Toys R Us sent that out. :( Sorry Loop, I hope the parts are ok.

Where did you order them from?

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.

@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!

Stop making me want to buy stuff! :wacko:

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.

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.

Thank you, I hope Bandai reissues the 25G. Yes, the Tornado parts match with the 25G nicely.

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.

Ouch! Sorry bout your packages Loop. Hopefully the F parts are fine.

@ Saburo - awesome shots!

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.

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.

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.
