ArchieNov Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) 8 hours ago, Chronocidal said: I do have to ask, did Messer even use battroid at all in the series? I may have just blanked it from memory, but it seemed he spent 99% of his time in fighter mode scissoring with Keith. Kind of mixed feelings about the head probe popping off.. on the one hand it might mean sloppy build quality.. but I never liked the probe anyway, so depending on the hole it leaves I might just leave it off, or mount something else there like an ECM blister. What does the area underneath the probe look like? Does it leave an unpainted recess when it's removed, or is it just a hole/slot to plug in? My copy has no issues with the head probe. It fits snugly and securely. The underside of the probe is an unpainted recess in the shape of an oval in white. It's quite ugly if you leave the probe out. The reason I hate the battroid head so much is because it looks like a cross between an alien, a skullface, and an insect. Not a flattering combination. Edited April 25, 2017 by ArchieNov Quote

Graham Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I'm sticking to 2 for Messer, one in Fighter and one in Gerwalk, I don't like the F head, so no battroid mode for me. For my two VF-31J, one is in Fighter and will have the Super Parts added once they are released, The other J is displayed in Battroid. May add the Super Parts, haven't decided yet. Quote

Graham Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Somebody actually did it Or is it photoshopped? Quote
Lolicon Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Given the pilot placement on the toy, that shot should have taken his head clean off, rather than through the heart. Still fatal though. Obviously. Quote

dero Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Paid - Friday Sent - Saturday Received - Monday Super quick processing to get it out to the customer. Thanks AmiAmi! The VF-31F Messer is the only Delta Valkyrie which I'll be getting. Here's a very quick and dirty photo of my playing with it last night seeing if I can get some sort of dynamic flight pose going.

He told me to talk to EXO if i ever wanted to re-activate it. a few weeks later, i just told EXO to perma wipe the account so i don't have the temptation. fast forward a few months ago, i needed to sell some stuff but MW wasn't allowing registrations for maintenance.

Chronocidal Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Would probably be pretty easy to rig up a little vinyl decal to put on the canopy for a removable hole. Quote

But no luck.. As for the Black and Blue scheme... looks perfect, right? Sorry, can't help posting the same pic over and over. Hahaha!

no3Ljm Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I'm just getting one 31A if it comes out. As long that I can secure one during PO. Quote
Sildani Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 If it happens, I'm really hoping the 31A is a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Quote

davidwhangchoi Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 actually... looking at the pics of the scene, it kinda reminds me of the vf-27... i might just get one.... maybe 2, i'm going to wait to see a future prototype, if there is going to be one, before deciding. Quote

Also, with the large number of outlets available, you don't necessarily need to be limited to one. HLJ, NY, Ami Ami, CDJapan, and so on. Grab one from each. Quote

I'm just fooling around on the limited to one per customer because most of members here wants multiple 31A's. And besides, you mentioned earlier that you're hoping that it will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive release so basically not all the shops you mentioned will carry it. Hence, my joke on limited to one since you can order multiples at NY for Tamashii Web Exclusive items. Quote
brouken Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Been blessed so far in getting PO's for the first three Seigfrieds. Am hoping that I'll be able to secure Chuck's and Arad's as well. The Kairos looks tempting, but is not really on my to-get list. There's only one DX Delta valk that I don't want to miss and it's this: Quote
Sandman Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I think Arad's valk will look better as a toy than it did in the show. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 got a partial shipment: 2 more to go Quote
wm cheng Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Wow that was fast!!! Came out last Friday and I got it to my door in Toronto, Canada today via EMS. That's been the fastest and no customs & duties to boot!!! I feel lucky, maybe its time to buy a lottery ticket. I find that if I go FedEx, it always get caught in Customs, plus they charge a $9.95 handling fee on top of the customs, duties and HST tax on the value of the parcel, but if I go EMS, sometimes (not always) it sneaks though maybe 50% of the time (I'll take that!) - just my observations for Canada. Looks like they "cleared" up the forward red sensors - it looks more clear than red paint on the VF-31J. Its too bad they haven't gotten rid of that horrible speckly painted canopy or that fuselage gap right behind the canopy though. Quote
