Keiichi Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I like the color scheme and I love the fact that it's a "bad guy" valk. Having a pair of rival valks is one of my favorite things about valk collecting! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Would probably end up buy it from you, David. But good thing you didn't. Still contemplating on this one just for the color. i really like the color I think it's the "brick like dimensions of the center body in fighter mode" that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on this, even though I really like the color. I wonder why it never bothered me with the 2 versions I currently have. when i had like 6 copies of the 29. i always swooshed one around but had to fly it at certain angles to hide the blockiness area where the intakes are. i think my vf-19 advanced copies will keep me happy.

jenius Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Can you point to the area that bothers you on a photo? Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 i wouldnt even accept those for free. They'd just take room on my shelf I could use for better schemes. The 29 is in my Top 3 macross Fighters, and the toys are all great. i can;y wait for this one! I have to agree somewhat.. The 29 is a great bird and my appreciation for them has risen considerably but I feel there could be better paint schemes done for them than these. As much as I love Ranka and like Sheryl I just don't get these art paint schemes and I doubt they would fit in nicely with my current displays. Although I'd probably still take them for free but struggle to display them. Awwww. You hurt my feelings guys. Looks like I'm the only one who wants this in DX size. Hahaha! Well to answer the room/space concern for them, I'd say I'll display them framed and mounted on the wall instead in the cabinet. Since the artwork is just on the backside. And besides, I think the wife will prefer that more instead of getting Sheryl and Ranka in their 'provocative-in-which-I-preferred-more' figure form. Hehehe. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 i think so too. i thought about getting it bc the color looks so great. but then i thought about it and i'd prob sell it off after opening it due to not liking the busy ness and brick like dimensions of the center body in fighter mode. Me too, David. I'm curious on the 'brick-like-dimensions' too. I'm looking at my Isamu 29 earlier and I can pinpoint where. Thanks in advance. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 if you guys can't see with yours in hand, no worries! as it won't bother you. i wish i could take a photo but i literally sold all my 29s... (6x) ozma's and an alto. Quote

Hey I wouldn't mind them in larger scale either; I don't really mind the "itasha" schemes. I passed on the Sheryl VF-171 not because there's a Sheryl graphic printed on it, but because they chose an ugly Sheryl graphic. Passed on the new VB-6 because I already have the previous SP release and having a different decal is not enough for me to drop another $200 on an otherwise identical toy. I preordered this new YF-29 but I still feel that all the 29s have some of the weakest paint schemes among all valkyries. Off the top of my head, the only schemes that I can think of that are worse are the Macross 7 VF-19s. Quote

Saburo Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 you may have more than me Maybe.. but I don't think so. Speaking of which I have to pay for my PO soon. Quote

Mr Bomber Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks for the post, just nabbed one! The color scheme is hard to pass up. yup, thats what i like from it! Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Even though I have two po's I'm not super duper excited about this one lol. It's just another 29 recolored. Kinda wish the B meant something (kinda like the super duper awesome vf-0B. full double seaters ftw) Exactly the reason I didn't bother PO'ing but it means more for those who do like it! Quote

xrentonx Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 This summer has been all kinds of wallet rape Excited for this beauty though! Quote
Loop Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Yes wallet rape this summer is and will be, but it does seem like the releases were really slow at the beginning of the year. Quote
Duymon Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 It's like an Itano circus but all the missiles are debits to my poor bank account Quote

Loop Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah I got one too, I already had one at CDJ also. Quote
Muzaffar Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Got one too and still up. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960617/Act Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Still up at HLJ it seems, just grabbed one on impulse.. I was gonna pass on this one, but apparently I gotta catch em all. Quote
Sandman Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Man that is so tempting. I already have a couple from various sources but to actually be around when it comes up from hlj is really teasing me. Quote
Sandman Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 And gone..... Refreshed the page and it was gone. Thank god. Stopped me from getting another one. Quote
spanner Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Originally had 3 reserved, including one for a fellow forum member who has since cancelled so its back to 2.. both paid in full. Looking forward to the Percival! Quote
