    The difference is the head configuration and paint color. No more different then the VF-1 schemes/configurations.

    Mine was held in LA and they never even got around to updating the status until after it had already arrived at my house. It could be the same for the both of you. I haven't noticed any paint chips on mine either but I will admit I'm not nearly as precise with these things as other people are. Did anybody have any problems with really tight joints on their 25? The entire left side of the thing was a bear. Popping the leg down from the knee was a bitch. Separating the hip on the let-side was a bitch. Adjusting anything on the arm was a real chore to not feel like I was going to break the thing. The right side felt fine, I'm even slightly concerned the right side foot could be a little bit too loose.

    I tried to take some extra pictures for everyone waiting/living vicariously through the more lucky of us but I don't have any sort of set-up for taking professional pictures and the best lighting in my house is beneath the skylight in my kitchen. Unfortunately coupling this damn early sundown in winter-time with when I get home from work means I can't take any pictures with decent lighting until the weekend.

    I managed to give it a quick once over last night between fidgeting with my VF-25. It's not a bad read but could use an editor in several spots.

    Just got a call, mine showed up about two hours ago. Can't wait to get home (and finish my 2 hours of exercise) before playing with it.

    I got one of my 11C's on discount from HLJ but it sure wasn't 130. I think I got it for 150 or 160. I wish I had grabbed two at the time.

    The main rifle does fit into the leg though it's through a hatch in the back behind the knee instead of popping out the side like the animation.

    I'd have to say it's probably my 1/60 V2 Yammie VF-1A Max. He was always my favorite character and I was never able to get any sort of VF toy when I was a kid (not even a Transformers knock-off) so it meets two goals at once.

    Anxiously awaiting mine while it sits in customs in LA right now. It shouldn't take too long to get from California to New Mexico but it's the "quality" of service here in Albuquerque that has me the most worried. I wish it were coming Fed Ex.

    Look at those 3 C's! I wish I had a third one... You know, thinking about it (and looking at your little collection) Yamato has done an amazing job recreating every line as full as possible. WE've got the 19S and F coming (plus the P), 17S and D coming, plus they're thinking about a 17T and 11Kai. Other than the VF11 Protect Armor and the VF-5000 that's the ENTIRE Macross 7 lineup. That's impressive.

    My payment is in too. I hope it shows up before next weekend!

    Does that mean this thing is officially released and I can eagerly await my shipment from Amiami?

    I guess the people who called it a "half-assed effort" turned out to be vindicated.

    What did you use to plug the screw holes? The surface looks immaculate.

    The better to headbutt with.

    When the show was first being discussed they were very clear they weren't going to completely adhere to the Comic Book story because they didn't want to retread old ground and because they wanted to give the readers something different to look forward to and be surprised by. You can argue they've done a bad job at this so far but it was never a secret they were going to deviate.
  17. Mommar
    Does that fit in it's leg too?

    Does anybody know if Yamato was at, and was showing off some of this stuff, at the recent All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show this past weekend?
  19. Mommar
    They say "Late November" and Yamato stuff usually ships the last Friday of the Month so it's a safe bet somewhere around the 25th of November.

    Hard to tell if it's the angle of the photo though. One is up higher than the other. There isn't a big difference there. The color on the left looks a lot better IMO.

    I had already pointed out earlier that on the CAD drawing from head on we saw several months ago that the chest piece was lower. I'm wondering if this prototype can't pull that off right now because it was planned to be lower from what I can tell.
  22. Mommar
    Well, I pre-ordered. Luckily I'm paranoid about funds and largely save everything I earn so I've got quite a bank account going. I feel bad for some of the others who aren't so fortunate.

    I'm willing to bet this thing has ball joints.

    I went back and checked out the old CAD photo of Battroid Mode from head-on. I know things can change between the CAD and implementation but all of the proportions look exactly the same. The only thing different is that, while the very bottom of the chin is covered, it appears the chest piece on the CAD sits lower then in these photos. I'm wondering if this prototype isn't quite sitting correct. It doesn't appear to be in fighter mode either. But I'm willing to bet that chest piece isn't set quite where it should be, which should make a least a small difference.

    I'm hoping for the end of this week so it'll have a week to reach my house by my birthday.
