jenius Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 There is a shop in Akihabara that has dropped the Nexx to 15,000 yen. If anyone is interested in getting one PM me.Do they have the Faerie also? Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Do you know if ET considered the VF-2SS line a success? Or is their Macross II line dead? I think there was a pic showing a green striped version...thinking that may never see a release. Here's the green stripe version. Would be nice to see it released. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Here's the green stripe version. Would be nice to see it released. That's the one! At this point, you may need to pick up an extra Sylvie or combo set to make one.... Quote
Save Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Do they have the Faerie also? Yep, but that one isn't as cheap, yet. They have it at 18,000. Do you know if ET considered the VF-2SS line a success? Or is their Macross II line dead? I think there was a pic showing a green striped version...thinking that may never see a release. I have no idea. The VF-2SS probably sold well enough compared to their other toys lines. Last week's Miyazawa Mokei they only had Super Robot stuff on display, not ever the Legioss what there. Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Hi sure hope the Mac II line sold well enough for a VF-2JA to be made. Even if it's Evo Toys I'll take a 1/60 2JA. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Hi sure hope the Mac II line sold well enough for a VF-2JA to be made. Even if it's Evo Toys I'll take a 1/60 2JA. Me two! Quote
Boobytrap Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Hi sure hope the Mac II line sold well enough for a VF-2JA to be made. Even if it's Evo Toys I'll take a 1/60 2JA. Me two! Me three! Quote
jvmacross Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 A Christmas Wish built on Hope(lessness)...... How bad could an ET Icarus be right?....right?!?!? As long as it looked good in one mode....I could deal with it..... Looking forward to the Bandai HMR Macross II VF-2SS.....but even if they also came out with a VF-2J Icarus....it probably wouldn't be 1/60 scale..... Quote
Boobytrap Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Same. I know not everyone agrees but my life is much better finally having a 1/60 version VF-2SS (as flawed as it may be). I would like to think that a VF-2J would at least be on par with that. Quote
valhary Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 the vf 2j sounds great to me! Taking into consideration the system transformation is very similar to the original vf 1 wich can allow evolution toys do a better job That they did with the vf 2ss Quote
505thAirborne Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Good to hear there's support for a VF-2JA! Here's a clearer pic of that Green VF-2SS. Quote
jvmacross Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 As long as you never see the bottom of it its a nice display piece...looks great with the SAP too.... Quote
KiriK Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) got super lucky and found a Faerie Leader VF-2SS on ebay for $130 shipped. Even at that price, it was tough to swallow some of the QC issues out of the box. Screw covers popping off, right arm is loose, and my left arm complete broke at the elbow joint with little movement. Yay for decent display piece (as are most of my toys in my collection)! Love the size and look of it though, but yea, i can barely touch it Edited December 7, 2016 by KiriK Quote
jvmacross Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Dealing with ET's VF-2SS multitude of flaws can be best handled via following some great advice given on the Walking Dead..... "If you have to eat crap, best not to nibble. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat. It goes quicker." Incidentally, that is also fantastic advice if you are still watching the Walking Dead show! Quote

Convectuoso Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Still too much. I know. I'm not going to pay that, specially when the HMR version has been teased already. But someone may be interested. It's ¥10,000 less than original price Quote
jvmacross Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 that's the Sylvie version.....you can get the combo pack for close to that on YJA Quote

AcroRay Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I got the Nexx from HLJ's holiday sale. It was great to finally get to own one of these. One of my favorite Valkyrie designs! Unfortunately, the head was poorly assembled with gaps between some of the parts, and the right bicep (an extremely delicate, complicated assembly) was very poorly assembled and partially glued frozen at the lower swivel. A couple of hours on my workbench and they were fine. I also dealt with the many, many nub marks & sprue gate debris. But I do a lot of toy repair, with skills and tools that made it much less of a challenge, so it was worth it considering how relatively cheap it was. Most other collectors facing those problems would have been out of luck or trying to arrange an exchange, and probably pretty unhappy. A beautiful - if fiddly - piece. Can anyone recommend a flight stand for the full SAP loadout in Battroid mode? Quote
jvmacross Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Congrats! I too was finally able to snag a Nexx VF-2SS cheap via YJA....in order to satisfy my inexplicable desire for the complete set! .....but have left it in it's box for now....I have the rest of them so I am well aware of it's shortcomings.... All said, it definitely is a very nice display piece. It looks great with all it's armor attached. I recall someone placing it on a flightpose stand and it did the job well. Is the included stand not up to snuff? I never even tried it. Edited January 18, 2017 by jvmacross Quote

Sandman Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I wonder if the vf-2ss was considered a sucess for ET? Quote

I'm guessing retailers may have a different opinion. Save was at one point speaking with ET about this line, but not sure if he has received any additional info recently. Quote

Thanks - I had completely forgotten the name of that style stand. (I only have one - under my UniFive Godphoenix.) Ordered one! The stand that comes with the bird seems only made for fighter mode display & display of the Squires. While Battroid mode displays fairly stable with the SAP, I kind of wanted an in-flight Battroid pose, since the VF-2SS only deployed with SAP in space, as I understand it. Quote
