Thanks, but i think it would be really expensive to hunt down for one, unfortunately. I will keep an eye open for them anyway, thanks for the info!

You're welcome, @Robin-11. Check-in with @arbit. He's doing some 3D design that you can buy the file and have it printed.  

Btw, I forgot to mention on my previous reply that Arcadia hasn't release any Fan Racer kit. What's out there basically are still Yamato's.

Best of luck!

Just an advice since you ordered it from Luna Park -- Please make sure to email them to let them know to properly pack your figure with protection and not just put it in a DHL bag.

oh man... i moved jobs and don't have a place to display em. I'm renting a small room in SF while all my furniture and valk collection is still in NJ.

i had them shipped to me in SF bc there's no one in NJ that can pick them up for me.

I can take pics of the 5x p-bandai brown shippers/outer boxes once they get here. lol

Thanks! Will do, the box art is great.  Would be sad to end up with a beaten one.

So you're saying your valkyries are currently living in a bigger home than you?

ups delayed due to severe weather. 

Hopefully it comes in before the weekend.

[technoblue]

Woah. EMS found a fast bird to haul my copy across the pond. It shipped Thursday last week and arrived yesterday. That’s from Japan to my porch in three business days.

[jenius]

Mine is in also. Squeeee

[orbitalharvest]

haul from ae yesterday!  so excited!

Congrats to Lluis Avila Fumanal for receiving his 5 Angel Birds.

[ValkAddict]

Holy $hit!!! Angel birds squad!!!

[Shawn]

Box seems to be the same height as a VF-1J or VF-1S vs the max or kaki right?
Seems very big...shipping multiples is sure to be fun. That case looks insanely large just to hold 6 of them

[Bahamutzyro]

Nice! I have 3… but I feel like I need 7 more smh

Looks like he should have bought 6 😝

Seriously. aside from the fact that the shipping would have been minimal an increase compared to the five already, he could have that sixth one as a "play" version and the others in a static formation display. That, or offload him on eBay for a profit. Either way, when you know six come to a case, I don't get not going all out.

Of course, if anyone's faced with this dilemma, I'll take any free extras. 😄

Wow...congrates on getting all 5 Angel Birds. If I get 5 of these birdies, my wife for sure will kill me... LOL

[sh9000]

I would have bought 6.  5 to open and 1 to keep sealed in the sealed brown shipper and then keep the large shipping case.

I would have figured you would buy a dozen. 

5 MIB, 5 to open, 1 1S custom, and 1 1J custom.

Sure. Why not.😊

[seti88]

You guys forgot to buy one extra for the box that the cat can play in.

[Radioguy]

Just put mine through its paces again, and immediately I'm reminded how DX is the Rolex of Valks. I just want more.

Then I look at what I paid, and know it'll be awhile. 😭🤬😆
