HMRs for play, 1/60s for display. This is happy compromise for getting duplicates across scales.  

Happy, cost effective and space saving compromise.

I don't know about cost effective, I end up just buying more figures.

For wanting duplicates and not needing to get multiples of the 1/60 scale version as @MKT was alluding to. But, yes, "cost effective" might not be the appropriate term for a hobby where we're all willfully wasting our money .

I'll keep it in Gerwalk mode for now until I get tired of it in this mode. Gonna keep this permanently in Battroid eventually. Transformation was pretty easy compared to the HMR VF-0s. Not fiddly at all...so far.

No "probably " as long as shipping arrives in time 

Yeah mine arrived already but I misplaced it in my house and I just need to find it.

It's in the fridge. Don't you remember? It was the only place left you could fit a valk in.

This is not a lost Lego brick. If the house is that full of valks, I fear more things are missing.

Where's the cat?

Found the Fire Valkyrie.  It was next to some other unopened figures.  Now it's with a few other HMR that still need to be opened.

Bonus pic of a lovely sight.

Where are you guys finding these mass produced VF-1A figures from? I'm still trying to get just one!

Set up an alert @ Mandarake, check AmiAmi secondhand, yahoo auctions, most secondhand places... then buy away. They're cheap.

As a late collector, I missed the supposed good ole’ Yamato days when valks would frequently go on this kind of discount.

Seeing this makes me want to make up for it lol.

[Mommar]

Wow, that's a huge discount for something so new.

Shelf warmer like many HMR toys.
