F360 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 The price after the bonus credit is not bad since HLJ credits is just as good as cash. Macross II Lovers Again: VF-2SS Valkyrie II with SAP Nexx Gilbert Custom (after bonus credit is 15708 yen) Macross II Lovers Again: VF-2SS Valkyrie II with SAP Faerie Squadron Limited (after bonus credit is 12705 yen) I thought about it , real hard, but just couldn't click it. Ended up buying Variable Action Hi-Spec Orguss (Reissue) and GSA New Arhan (Expelled from Paradise)from Good Smile Company Quote
treatment Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Fwiw, you only get the store-credit when you ship out the item. Dunno how much the shipping-fees, tho. Edited June 1, 2017 by treatment Quote
F360 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 But when you do ship it out, you will have extra HLJ credits to pay for your other Macross invoices that you preordered like a VF-31c or some hi-metal R. for 1 Express Int'l Shipping Usually ships by EMS (Trackable) (averages 2-7 business days) ¥3,380 for 2 Express Int'l Shipping Usually ships by EMS (Trackable)(averages 2-7 business days) ¥5,380 Fedex Economy(averages 2-5 business days) ¥5,900 Quote
Boobytrap Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Nice paint scheme. Definitely adds some visual interest to it. Quote

sh9000 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 That custom looks cool. I would love to see Max's color scheme on this toy. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I would buy that in a heartbeat in the HM-R Line! Quote
kajnrig Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Linking to the HLJ autumn sale thread because I'm fairly certain this is still available and will be part of the sale: Quote
CHAVAKAISER Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Full repaint in progress Based on this!! Quote
yman1437 Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 @CHAVAKAISER awesome job! now that I wouldn't mind having in my collection Quote
Kcsquare Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 That is one meancing badass color scheme! Quote
JetJockey Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I remember owning one of the old kits of this valkyrie. It gave me fits but I think that was the only toy available back then. I think it even transformed but was very fragile. I put up with it as it was a put together toy unlike that Cyclone that came assembled and always seemed to crumble apart. This new version looks pretty good. Maybe I'll watch Macross II again one day to see if I like the show enough now to get a modern version of the toy. Quote

If you're referring to the ET version, you may want to reconsider that statement. If you really want a VF-2 toy, I suggest waiting to see how Bandai's HMR version turns out. It already looks much better in the promo pics than what ET has made. Quote

wmkjr Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Fighter mode only. That's why it looks so good. I think the Max one is the same model too. PeterB made that one with a custom canopy I believe . Edited November 3, 2017 by wmkjr Quote
derex3592 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Yeeeehhh....I'll roll with whatever Bandai rolls in with for the HM-R offering...no time to build an old resin kit these days... Quote

I guess I should read over the topic more. I got confused and only thought there was one version. And these repaints. In any case, these are better than the small kit I had from the early 90s. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 ET's is larger. at 1/60 scale, to be sure, but it being better than Bandai's old kit is debatable. The kit's fragility is not a demerit against it ( it's a model kit after all, and 1/100 to boot), and arguably has better proportions than the larger toy due in part to the kit's parts swapping nature and the fact that ET's is an unsightly mess in that underneath; it's only true shortcoming, other than coming from a time of much lower design/engineering standards for such things, is that it's a SAP-equipped only affair. Skip ET's version entirely, unless you find one at a deep discount, and go for the upcoming Hi-metal R instead. Quote
