manfred17 Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 New design. Sexy toy, sexy hands, ... heavy and looks very sturdy. Quote
Alex GS Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Holy hell! 480 grams! , is even heavier than the Metal Build Aile Strike at 366 grams, with this my excitement for this Valk skyrocket!!!, for me the heft in a figure is one of the most important things in this hobby, I really don't remember how much weight had my previously owned Yamato 1/48 VF 1J Max, if somebody knows how much weights a Yamato VF 1j 1/48 without supers would be awesome to know, well at least for me for sure it would it be, Quote
treatment Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Yeah. Nice yt-review. It'll be interesting to see how the backpack actually holds up the eventual FAST-Packs securely. iirc, the old Yammie 1/48 has a little hook to help secure the backpack, whereas this new DX does not have it. Quote
Dobber Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Damn is that thing beautiful! I can’t wait to get mine and can only imagine how gorgeous a Roy VF-1S will be. Chris Quote

Ooohh.. he transformed it without removing the legs. Why does it seem like its a lot easier to transform than the Yamato 1/48? Expand he does know his Valks, so I think it's just his years of experiences at transforming them. compare to the current Valkyries, the VF-1 is a breeze to transform. Quote

Expand Bandai's current trend seem to be extra clips to hold and secure joints . so the Fast-packs will most likely come with those clips Quote

CF18 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Guys, don't hate on the small shops too much on the added shipping cost. The bonus stand added 33% size to the box, but I think Bandai probably just gave everyone the regular release size data, since the re-issue will be that size with the same UPC code. Those small shop are not going to eat the cost which is not their fault. Quote
spanner Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Definitely won't be using that stupid little antenna that fits on the backpack in gerwalk.. Quote
spanner Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 looking forward to feeling the heft of this thing! and posing those fully articulating fingers! going back to that antenna.. surely there was a way they could have made it a fixed but deploy-able part instead of it being loose..? Though my question is why would it be needed in gerwalk and not in the other two modes? Bit silly really. Quote

seti88 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) 1200yen DHL is utterly insane....ami is costing me abt 2250 yen for SAL....how much is amazon charging for the valk?

bleecher Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 How does the length in fighter mode compare to other recent releases in the 1/60 dx line such as the vf-31 and the yf-19? Quote

I gotta maintain the excitement till i get it... Amazon is turning the term marketing and distribution upside down...so perhaps this goldmine will hold for some time... Besides amazon has more than enough firepower if HG wants a fight... Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I hope we are not going to revisit the whole fragile leg fin fiasco from the DX YF-19. Some one has already reported that the fins are sheared at the pins. BTW - Tekering those pictures look fantastic! Quote

chyll2 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 ^ for the eventual GBP armor. Paid for amiami as soon as payment request was sent yesterday, no shipping notification. The request for payment also says they will close the store today so yeah, it will be shipped after New Year. (same for NY, I guess) Quote
jenius Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mine is in Anchorage... Why???? FedEx, you so crazy. EMS usually goes straight to SF. Quote
derex3592 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mine always go through Chicago and I've never had an issue, usually lands on my doorstep the very day or the next day once I see it in Chicago, the one time mine went to SF, it took like 3 extra days... Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Mine from Amazon hasn’t hit the USA yet, but I had to update payment info so that delayed it. Looks like I’ll need to wait until after the holiday for HLJ to ship. Quote
