Go for it guys THank god HLJ is getting more stock http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960616/Sci

I got this kit in hand. Guys, don't hate it until you got one in hand. This thing is a pretty complex kit and I'm sure it'll look great with a little love. If you give this kit as much love as you do a hasegawa, it will look pretty damn good and will transform. Honestly I could care less about the inaccurate panel lines on an imaginary plane. The nose and cockpit are more of an old-school pre-hasegawa nose that reminds me more of old-school macross if you get my drift. Just be happy we have Macross at all, and for only 4500 retai (3600 after hlj discount).

HLJ said I can keep the extra vf25a preorder. Woo hoo!!

Well.. it was weird. At first I had 3 orders by accident from the server errors and refreshing, so I killed two of them and only had 1 VF-25A on the account. Then 2 hours later they give me another order of the 25A under a completely new order number from the ones I killed.... I want it anyways, but just in case I'll send them an e-mail. Keeping my fingers crossed

Weird... I just got another order confirmation now from HLJ for a 2nd VF-25A on my primary account O_o In the crazy clickfest when ordering my first VF-25A, I got an error 404 and refreshed the page twice...... What should I do O_o

To survive *nuff said*

It was up for less than 10 seconds the second time... 1 refresh later and it was gone lol (my auto refresh is set to 10 seconds)

The only thing I truly can't stand about this kit is the Yammy V1-style removable nose-piece for the legs. That one just drives me bonkers, but then again there's prolly little they coulda done in 1/72 scale to prevent that without some mad durability issues and/or compromising the leg gimmick.

Just went back up! *EDIT .. And back down O_o yeesh the 25A must be much more popular than the CF-171. This one was up for maybe 45 seconds before it sold out at HLJ.....

SaitouSad is prolly going to kill me. I preordered the Ryuohmaru just to see if it would show up in my orders section, then I cancelled it O_o Was just running some tests because i was so worried about the Vf-25A not showing up yet :0

Perhaps the guy that put it up forgot to put the discounts on. It would be interesting how they'd handle something like that when people already preordered at full price.

Order confirmations in. It's in my Queue for October. No discount *cry*

Got confirmation for one but not the other. The discount was abysmally small on the VF-27 at HLJ (compared to AMIAMI and hobbysearch). Wouldn't be surprised if HLJ didn't discount it at all.

I have another account set up on remote desktop at my Parent's place so that #2 is shipped to a different part of the country :0

Well.. got two since I got all the way to the end. Just pending order confirmation now

HLJ UP GOOOO http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN960616/Sci

Yeah so wierd i just saw it pop up already sold out

THank god I got all my RVF's from HLJ / otacute O_o GOt burnt bad on the CF-171's (especially since I got 6 lol) Never again *shake fist* Might pull the trigger for a 4th (for customs) if it's still up on Friday when the fun-budget refreshes.

If your whole inventory sells out in minutes would you discount them?

I have 6 CF vf-171's without any issues. Guess I got lucky lol

I'll be using my own color scheme as well. The vanilla DYRL isn't even done right with the 1/55 style chest stripes

Never had an issue with Amiami, but I always contact to them in Japanese so I guess that helps lol. Nippon-yasan seems to respond much faster to English than Japanese, however, which is really funny.

How did you get two at hobbysearch when they only have a limit of one per household? unless you have separate accounts sent to separate addresses?

Wow the passion faded quickly for this one. NY is still up after 40 min at only a 12-13 dollar markup. guess Too many people got burnt on the vf-171's

I think peeps are slower to throw caution to the wind now since the CF-171, RVF and ALTO 25 have opened up at later dates for retail or better...
