Good to know! Thanks!

Great mini-review, @Actar! Unfortunately, that back-to-back battroid side shot is totally unfavorable to the DX. Seems Bandai engineers and designers just did their usual "good-enough" effort. It's clearly not even symmetrical! Based on MarkH's video, that Battroid-brace is quite dumb to be a separate accessory: The pilot-seat has so much unncessary finagling: The lock-pin seems necessary only for Fighter-mode, as it needs to be removed for Gerwalk-mode to compress/accordion the engines and stuff forward. Hacchaka pointed out Gerwalk mode is already unstable due to being back-heavy: https://hacchaka.net/archives/52110508.html That said, my order seems still stuck in a DHL plane, as no updates on the tracking since yesterday. Guess no Saturday-delivery for me.

ahem... it's grey enuff to be Roy. Just add Strike-FP...

Any way to alleviate that drag besides not installing the gunpod?
-
Appreciate the comparo-pics, but TZ's chest on those pics really does remind me of Leifeld's drawing shenanigans...

Exactly like the YF-19 DX antenna-gate breakage shenanigans. Now also present with the YF-21 DX !!! Guess Bandai is still really very high on their ass-ymmetry trip...
-
Aww, bummer!
-
They totally could. But this is Bandai. They don't even include a spare head-laser with this DX, per Graham's report. Not sure if it even has a spare lock-pin...
-
I see. fwiw, I was a bit surprised that DHL was a quite cheaper than either FedEx options at hlj earlier. Usually it's the other way around. Not sure if the pricing scales up respectively as well when shipping lotsa stuff like you seem to be contemplating right now.
-
Assuming you're using credit-card instead of paypal, do you not use Yen instead for your payment-currency at hlj? Should have better rate if you use Yen as your payment-currency.

The YF-21 DX box seems to appear almost half as big as Nao... https://x.com/macrossD/status/1806339681728225356

The DiscoTek set? Yeah. It is specifically Region-A only, per their sleeve/covers: However and iirc, the PS4 console itself should be region-free and should be able to play it. Only your PS-account is region-locked. So, can you make another account on your console and have that account set to US instead?
-
Bandai's fold-booster from their YF-19 DX full-set does not light up like Yamato's.
-
Check your hlj-account. Mine got charged/pw-ed about 5pm JST: 6550y for DHL to US is relatively steep since no HLJ shipping-discounts this time. Expecting delivery early next week (Monday/Tuesday). Hopefully this Saturday the soonest... edit/update: SHIPPED!
-
It's only ithe Movie version that has that scene. The OVA does not have it. Here's the BD snapshot of the same scene as your tv-shot, The nice heat-haze effect they reproduced makes the video quality a bit soft, tho.
-
Seems Bandai had made their YF-21 DX to be "Macross Plus...Parts" toy... Better not lose that lock pin and stuff...

some TD-forum user posted stuff, finally. will need some (web)translating... https://bbs.toysdaily.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=471761&pid=8217577
-
Yeah, but still seems to look mistransformed, tho. Head-gap and all that...
-
Also, not sure if the flip-out gear lights from the DX and Yamarcadia exists on this Veritech, or if both reviewers simply forgot about that gimmick: Veritech Robo-Dou: flip-out gear lights gimmick on both the Bandai DX and Yamarcadia 1/60v2 (pic courtesy of @jenius anymoon) :
-
Yeah. Is it an actual feature, or a mistranformation bug? fwiw, this is how the arms placement looked like in the other video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joyjynncW80
-
This could be the very same guy that posted with the backwards missiles on some earlier pics from Baidu or something. As for the Veritech, there were some nice innovations on it. Particularly their innovation on the T-Bar rotating gimmick from Bandai's DX-VF1 line. So far on first-viewing... The chest-transtormation is a bit intriguing, Rick Hunter pilot strangely has both of the arms splayed out for whatever reason. The head seems still too big and ball-y. The popeye arms are stil popeye-y. Not sure if there are no pt hands and one has to really install them after. The chest-side gap is quite weird. Maybe mistransformed like the backwards missiles: Wish he has the Bandai DX and the Yamarcadia 1/60v2 to compare with. As usual, gonna wait for @jenius for a more detailed and non-rushed review. Especially comparos with other existing VF-1 toys. Maybe wotafa will review it as well...
