    Bandai DX VF-31

    I can imagine so many people were going absolutely batshit crazy pulling their hair out while that new NY swirly loading screen kept popping up throughout the checkout process. They probably had less than 10 up for PO. Like literally had the product page refreshing and then after it went live rushed through checkout and it was gone. Luckily not cancelled....yet...

    in the VF-25 days they used to have batches of POs with rising prices but that practice has stopped recently

    It has more to do with authorizations and then actually Posting. Credit cards process in 2 steps. Authorization and then posting. Authorization reserves the cash, but it isn't actually paid out of your account until the seller finalizes the transaction. Then it will Post to your account. This is why you get an authorization that may or may not disappear after a while (depending on your CC company rules). However, you need to make sure that if it did fade off your transaction history that you have enough balance for when the charge actually posts.

    I use auto refresh on 4 browser windows way easier than F5-ing a single page
  13. unfortunately the Vita works differently than the PS 3 / 4 and you're forced to single-account your vita. Basically, you choose to keep your american acct and forgo DLC or you switch your vita 100% to JP and enjoy the DLC. The extra dlc is actually pretty decent. Like 10 bucks and you get a bunch of extra missions and a lot of nice ships.

    Yeah I hear ya. I think the canopy is really the only part of the valk I think could be a little better. They shouldn't have added the gold glitter to the plastic and just left it a nice clear tint like on majority of the DX line.

    I got my lone VF-31J from HLJ. I decided against having multiples since I really wasn't really into Macross Delta. Couldn't use the old panel lining technique so had to opt for Flory's Wash which wouldn't harm any of the large painted areas. Really happy with the flory's as it came out with nice, thin and subtler panel lines Btw, anyone have issues with the gap between the chestplate and nose opening up all the time? I swear they should have put in some locking mechanism because every time I touch my VF-31J the chestplate gets bumped up and i get a crooked valk.

    My paypal shows the VF-31 was only 156 bucks USD from HLJ (18000yen) Shipped out my VF-31, HMR Max and trident stand via fedex for only 3400 yen woo hoo If you're talking about the YF-30 yeah it did have matte. All pics and videos of the VF_31's in hand appear, at least to me, to be Matte and not the super gloss of the Frontier-Gen DXes

    HLJ will do that payment stuff prolly around 5 AM ET on Saturday. official release not until 12/17 in JP. No worries on a side note, I am so hyped for these new valks. They appear to be continuing Bandais continued improvement of their valks starting with the beautiful Matte finish and tampo of the YF-30 / VF-19. I like the new direction they've taken with the packaging.

    Dude I love the new box. THat super nerdy remove before flight thing seals the deal. Just hope I can keep getting lucky with POs and get at least 1 of each VF-31

    You know what? I might spray paint majority of the parts grey or something. I bet they show up a lot more and give a much more armored look rather than the super color matching they have on them in the show
  21. They totally copied Hasegawa's Mistake on the TV version main guns

    NY shipping time is so all over the place that expedited shipping is often a waste because it takes 2-5 days to ship your item sometimes lol. I always go el-cheapo so I never get salty about it. I Just ordered parts on NY with airmail. PAY IN YEN, you save like 5-6 bucks vs NY's ripoff currency conversion

    I dunno why after thinking about it for a while I cancelled out my amiami order and decided on just 1 VF-31J since there's gonna be 5x VF31's + maybe 5x Drakens + the VF-31A Kairos which I think I will spend all my money on..... Also the price diff between my amiami and HLJ order was staggering

    welp, that's another $140 bucks (before shipping) down the drain. Gonna have to pay it up front to boot. I think I'll wait until after Xmas so I can use some X-mas cash The VF-31 sets are pretty cool, though they still aren't as awesome as the VF-25 Armored parts. Also, Kinda miffed they don't include the reaction missiles on the arms like in the last episode (or maybe they don't include them cuz technically it's not the messer decal 1J......blegh)
  25. I wonder if that double-seat F-16I despite droptanks and conformals has better avionics than the F-35 next to it... *trolls runs away before F-16 and F-35 debate sparks up again*
