Shukenzero Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 So that’s a legitimate strike against one online store. Anyways, on a happier note just picked up the first of my super parts. Excited to slap them onto the Mirage. Hope they announce the Kairos parts already Quote

Even though i find its abit overexcessive in terms of the VF-31S armor pack but many will still buy it cos its in the movie and everyone digs full armor packs. What im really looking forward to is the drone packs for VF-31F Quote
borgified Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Is nin-nin that flipping crazy?! If you do the conversion, that's roughly close to 66.5K Yen.. For that amount, anyone can go for either a Yammie 1/60 V.2 or a 1/48 valk of their choice right there. Quote

CF18 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Yes the mark. It came like that out of the box, not from any scratches. It's a bit rough on touch, probably a thin and dry layer of spilled glue. Quote

seti88 Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) As long as nicks and scratches aren't significant, I wouldn't put off transforming valks. there is going to be some wear and tear in everything physical the moment we use it. Edited May 19, 2018 by seti88 Quote
