What is with the stupid black gill markings ahead of the wings? And why do they insist on putting those things on EVERY release (minus Isamu's)??

My 29 broke obliterating its resale value...and since I had to fix it, I modded it and one of the first things I did was get rid of the black "tiger" stripes.

I really like red valks as well (reminds me of Milia)! The orange, yellow and some other colored lines were not my fancy so much and it's quite easy to remove the stripes (and any other paint you don't prefer as well). You just need some paper towels, 91% isopropyl alcohol, and some patience to rub it off (and blue painters tape to mask off other nearby paint). Of course you wouldn't want to do this if you are concerned about resale value. Edited March 21, 2016 by Bobby Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Those are some cool mods Bobby! The real question for this release, is did Bandai correct the issues with floppiness with the hip and other joints? The first releases of the Alto 29 were absolute trash in that regard. -b. Quote
Sandman Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Thats what i want to know as well if they went with the thicker gerwalk brace that latter releases had. Quote

I ask because I was late to the VF-25's renewal versions and the VF-25G very pricey right now and I would love to see a reissue of that Valk or the YF-30. If you're interested with YF-30, Kaneda's Bike is selling his over here. Quote

On 3/21/2016 at 7:06 PM, koonfasa said: Kanedas, I can't remember what I was asking, I should know... Looks nice! Well, I guess importantly we all hope this re-issue has all or more of the improvements of the YF-29B, and later 29 releases which would make it similar to those models in that regard. But yeah, the 29's are all the same minus paint schemes, head units and small changes to the gunpods (don't recall the differences off-hand). -b. Quote

It actually looks WAY better without the turbines on the wings. Between that and the removed black striping, the fighter mode looks much sleeker. Quote
Loop Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) It is the same except for the head unit is slightly different and you have a different color scheme. The thing is though this release is Alto's machine so it would be a more iconic piece to some collectors. I skipped it on the initial release but bit the bullet when they reissued it the first time. The biggest issue I can see with these late reissues is that it will probably cost a bit more to get the supers now. Edited March 25, 2016 by Loop Quote
neoexcaliber Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) We have a release date! 5 days after the HMR VF-1S Roy comes out. Thanks to NY for the update. Edited April 1, 2016 by neoexcaliber Quote

Of course you wouldn't want to do this if you are concerned about resale value. Firstly I have to say im sorry to hear your Valkyrie got damage but I also have to say that I do rather like you modifications! Looks quite clean without the wing boosters and the canards in the rearward position are also a nice touch! I did that to my original SV-51 which I much preferred and im also tempted to switch them around on the 3 I have now! Its just a scary thought to modify them as they are mint examples and I don't want to screw them up..

spanner Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 still not a bad price but if you remember how much they wanted for these in Mandarake only up until not that long ago! 30k+ You'd be crazy not to buy it from CDJ or Ami! Quote

koonfasa Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 oh boy, just playing with Percival, and that kinda makes me want this one... Quote
Delta Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Still no word on if this has the improvements from the 30th Anniversary and Isamu's versions, eh? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Basically----how would it NOT? If the mold was altered, they wouldn't un-do it. Quote
Sandman Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 The stand and gun pod have gone back and forth between version of the 29. Not sure if they made separate molds for them. Quote
jenius Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Someone posted on my site that they have one of the previous reissues and it had the improvements so you should be safe. Quote
