    Ya know... I just got my hands on the hi-metal 1/100 1S and the 3 exclusive 1A's. How come Bandai couldn't have their playmodel team consult their Hi-metal toy team... the Hi-metals are pretty cool

    Well, We'l see what happens when the kits come in from HLJ in 2 weeks or so (have them on preorders EMS) Hopefully they are better in person than in all those photos, but we'll see. What I am worried about is the gerwalk, because gerwalk is hands down my favorite mode of just about any valk save the 19 series. Pretty much if there's no good A-stance these will be the last Bandai 1/72 vf-1's I buy.

    bye bye old YF-19 O_o

    Welp... here we go again. HOnestly though I'm not worried about getting the 25A's though because I doubt many JP fans will be getting these in droves. Question is do I get 6 of them just like I have of the 171's?

    I think when I get my set I'm going to need to change the mounting point of the Fastpacks and move them forward. that's the only thing that bothers me big time at the moment. 0

    Looks like Roy is set for September already. I wonder if they'll milk it and put out Max and Kakizaki as well http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-3527

    Reading these threads i understand that getting valks cheaper is nice and all, but cancelling on preorders at invoice time or even after you've paid leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think NY is going to do non-refundables from now on if this kind of abuse keeps up.

    well.. thank god I have an RVF sitting in my private warehouse at HLJ lol Still waiting to see how Otacute pans out though.

    It's already monday in Japan and Otacute hasn't sent any word or invoice. Ruh Roh O_O

    looks like they had to use adapter pieces to mount the gun in fighter. can't be helped I guess
  11. Duymon
    Stupid question. How do we pay for our otacute preorders? do they just send an invoice or something on the 15th?

    All my 1/48's are the same as the day i bought them. Some i have had nearly 7-8 years

    Rubbing alcohol does a good job of clearing out the yellow paint FYI

    It's a non mainline valk. The 25's are going to be different i feel

    The Hasegawa doesn't transform. This one does. the size of the front gear makes me think it's impossible for it to be integral which means It's prolly a plugin just like on the VF-25. As such, no problem using Hase Gears that I have laying around. Even if my vf-1s are in fighter 99% of the time, the fact that they CAN transform if I have a change of heart i the whole reason for buying these, flaws and all.

    Looking forward to this kit. May have to steal some landing gear from my Hases

    What? YOU guys don't enjoy seeing your packages stuck in Osaka for like 3 weeks?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they start requiring a non-refundable deposit from this point on. Cancelling preorders just 2 weeks before during the invoice period is not good news as at that pt it's too late for the retailer to back out of obligations it's made on behalf of the customers

    I only cancelled my NY preorder a month ago because I got both HLJ and Otacute for 50 bucks less each. People suddenly expecting price-drops at release date might be surprised when Bandai lowers production again due to a huuuuge deadstock of 171's.

    The original "Cool to have" Yammie be grey

    I got two on preorder with parts sets from HLJ. Will let you guys know when I build it up. Got too many Bandai kits in the queue :0 3 VF-25's, 3 1/35 Ingrams, 2 cosmo zeros and soon to be two vf-1's O_O

    Taking a second look at that photo. The tag for Alto and Ozma Super parts says: 受け付け終了, which basically means no longer available. True to their tamashii web exclusive ways they do not look to be doing reissue of the armored parts and presumably the super parts as well. Alto's tag lists the re-release date with (re-release) in parentheses after it. Ozma's tag does NOT have that. So therefore no plans to Re-issue Ozma just yet.

    The decals on the bandais are terribad. I've built everything from Revell / Monogram as a child to hase's, tamiyas and even kinect and trumpeteer and never have I see decals that sucked so bad as the Frontier ones. The trimming isn't the issue, it's the dot-matrix printing and utter lack of white backing that makes them look awful.
  24. Duymon
    I've got a few on preorder. have a ton of hasegawa decals to use in case the bandai ones suck balls.

    Wow... bummer that the 171's dropped in price this much but oh well, that's the market for you. Did I overpay for the 171's I bought? No, because I was willing to pay the marked up price at the time of preorder because they were worth that much to me. I think after this a lot of retailers may start requiring down-payments on preorders. With Scalpers hogging up huge amounts of preorders Bandai misread the queues and produces more 171's to meet the artificially increased demand. Now with all the scalpers gone they're stuck with a crapton of deadstock. Or.... bandai could always freaking change how they manage their preorders so that we don't have this bullcrap in the first place
