Looks like I won't be lucky enough to get one of these. Regardless of the logic for the market and how I'm not a part of it, FU Bandai.

Nope, nine days in customs and nothing.
-
So show of hands, how many of us have been majorly screwed by LA customs? Because if you have been I urge you all to call and tell them where they can stick it tomorrow. (310) 337-8700

What's funny is that the moment you transform to Gerwalk it becomes irritating and forward heavy instead. It's scary to keep on the stand in fighter and next to impossible to do anything without the stand in Gerwalk.
-
It's tenuous to get on the stand in Fighter mode. The damn thing is so back heavy in that mode it feels like the neck will snap in half when on the stand. It works but I never leave it there when it's sitting on my shelf. I use it purely for taking photos. I don't have anything like a flightpose stand, which I suppose is a better solution for these things, so when one of the 19's is in fighter mode it sits on it's landing gears for me.

Well unless they were keeping the VF-1's around for specific errands (and they were still around when the VF-4 was flying) you would think they would still need a way for fighters to deploy Reaction Warheads so it may not be a stretch that at the very least they could hold one or two someplace.
-
The side lasers on this head seem to be attached different. I have a hard time adjusting them unlike on my F and S.
-
I just realized that i never took an overhead pic of the holes in fighter mode but one of the later Battroid mode pics shows the holes. They're rather large but I imagine if you really didn't want them there you could fill it with modelers putty or something.
-
Alright, here's some pics I snapped without the speaker fins. I somehow ended up with more Gerwalk than anything else this time. I like the back lit version of this shot better, I feel it highlights the lines of the craft very well, so I chose to post this one instead of the front lit one.
-
Tough, you're getting all three.
-
Do you want pics in all three modes without the fins or are you interested in one mode in particular?
-
If mine weren't held up by customs I'd have taken shots of the D as well.
-
Are you referring to my Battroid photos? I accidentally bent them forward and didn't notice until after the pics were taken. They should be angled back a bit more.
-
Here's a few pics I took of the P last night. I was hoping the sun coming through the side windows would be enough but it was still a tad dark.
-
So have a lot of our members VF-4's as well. It's not just you, we're all getting screwed here. My P made it by the 29th and it cleared customs the next week, everything else (17D and 2 4G's) hit the 30th and 31st and have been stuck there for seven days now.
-
Well you've got Bat's photo's now. No need for me to be here. I hate posing this thing in Gerwalk, those ankles are so SHITTY.
-
I'm working on this guys. Just need some more time.
-
Whoever printed mine did the exact opposite of what you should. I have SEVERE stepping going on.
-
USPS in general is complete ass, especially once it hits New Mexico. However this LA customs place is really pissing me off. Both VF-4's have been sitting there since the 30th and my 17D has been sitting there since the 31st. Oddly enough my 19P arrived there on the 29th and made it through relatively quickly (I received it Thursday) although the USPS website didn't update that it had arrived in New Mexico until it was already dropped off at my house (one of the few advantages to taking care of your aging parents is that they can answer the door during the day and sign for packages.) This is pretty much why i try to choose FedEx whenever I can. I've never had this problem with them ever.
-
It'll be hard to see because the 19F is a lot darker but I'll try some side-by-side comparisons of the odd fitting pieces. It's like there's more of a gap around the pieces on the P then the S/F.
-
I got my 19P in the mail yesterday. Very cool looking. I'm happy to have something will the long wings and all of the canards as I think it looks better, though I can appreciate the more streamlined 19F/S as well now. I've noticed the panels don't seem to fit as well though. The hatches for the landing gear on the shins don't seem to line up as nice as on the F/S. The cover for the missiles on the calves don't seem to fit as well either. I haven't had time to attempt transformation yet. Hopefully I don't encounter the same issues Renato had (or worse.) As soon as I get some time in the daytime I'll snap a few pics.
-
That's how that loaded out VF-4 model kit was done up.
-
I should try to put my old pins back on. These new pins are horrible.
-
Thank you, this makes the most sense.
-
I'm getting really tired of waiting for US customs to hurry the hell up and release these things. I've got two VF-4's and a 17D that have been sitting there for over a week now. The 19P somehow slipped through fine.
