    It's actually easier to adjust them if you just take the shoulder covers off. They pop right on and off. I was looking over mine last night trying to figure out just where the armor parts are going to fit on. This is going to be an even bigger bitch to transform with that crap attached. Hopefully they'll stay attached as well.

    I've had customs occasionally take FOREVER with a package once or twice before. Usually it's a few hours. But sometimes I think they misplace/forget something and it sits.

    I watched it, I transformed it the same way as the video. I got a face full of chest panel.

    Where did you find that pic? The rest of them do really look white (which doesn't bother me either way really.)

    It shipped July 5th, arrived the beginning of this past week. I had zero problems with them. I guess I got lucky?

    March 6th was my preorder date.

    I got my BBTS 171 preorder.

    It's not even that it's ugly, which I feel it is too, but it isn't at all a VF-1S scheme. The 1S had BLACK, not grey. And adding some yellow stripes doesn't make it anywhere near being a 1S. It's just a gaudy, quick repaint.

    Good Lord. I just tried transforming my second 171 tonight. Putting this thing back into Gerwalk/Fighter has been a colossal bitch. Pressing the chest piece back down has been insane on this thing. It's like the two diecast bars are ever so slightly too far away from the center and every time I close the chest piece all the way the two little covers that flip out for Battroid will literally fly across the room. I got hit in the face by flying covers more than once. I did not have this problem with the first 171. This second one has MUCH better hold on the wings though. Tighter hinges on the back too. Interesting how different each of these can be.

    Well color me wrong about them selling those packs separate. I didn't think it would happen after how rare the VF-1 packs are.
  11. Mommar
    I just pull the wings off, do the transformation, then put them back on. It's easier that way.

    It's like serving one of those $1 single serve pieces of cake to a room full of people. You cut it in half and that's pretty much it. The rest of you can f**k off.

    Thanks. I couldn't find it on Youtube. I found a lot of other ones.

    There are already a lot of people who won't buy one at more than $300. Unless there's a miraculous turn in the US economy I'm willing to bet many people are going to be disappointed... or eat their words come purchase time.

    Okay, poor choice of words. It may rot in a warehouse while they sit up at Yamato's website. Same thing really. Nippon-Yasan seems to think they'll be selling them right now.

    I think eyesonme is correct. Why would you laugh at that? The VF-4 only showed up in a twenty minute music video from twenty five years ago. Whereas the Frontier stuff has been ALL OVER Japan the last four years. Obviously there's going to be a big rush domestically as well as internationally. Just because the long time fans like us want the VF-4 doesn't mean the rest of the world is clamoring for it, remembers it or is even aware of it's existence in the first place. Now the whole webshop exclusive is a pain to order from but that doesn't mean it's going to disappear off shelves in four seconds like all of the Renewal Valks have.

    Considering jenius seems to be very in the know about Bandai's Macross stuff (he even knew about the 171 and claims it was developed BEFORE the 17 in his review) perhaps one of his contacts would know why Bandai are being pricks about their Macross releases?
  18. Mommar
    If it's any consolation Nippon-Yasan was sold out of 171's eventually as well but they've already got more stock in right now. So perhaps that will be the case for those of you still looking to get this "1S" scheme as well.

    Where is this transformation video? Know what's interesting, I went back rewatched some of the battle scenes from Frontier. The armored VF-25's looks great on the show but I really can't stand the way they look on the toys at all. On the other hand I don't feel like the 171 looks great in the show at all but this one I have sitting in front of me in Battroid looks totally awesome.
  20. Mommar
    AND the VF-0? Reaction Armor??? You're killing me dude!
  21. Mommar
    So did they get accepted this time? Are the wing adapters and missiles available now? I've been waiting for these things to finally be done.
  22. Mommar
    Oh Wow, they're adding more stock? I was going to ask if anybody around here was still looking for a 171 who REALLY wanted one but couldn't get it.
  23. Mommar
    I personally don't see how this is a VF-1S scheme. I was curious about this but it's easy for me to not care now.
  24. Mommar
    Have you e-mailed them about it?
  25. Mommar
    Somebody said they took their pins out and switched which hole they went in and they held more snug afterwards. You might give that a try.
