    DX VF-27 Revival

    Oh man, you're tempting me to push this up in my review cycle.

    DX VF-27 Revival

    Oh yeah, I thought some had two right shoulders but if it's just a part swap, super easy fix.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    In a way, we're getting the best of both worlds from an aesthetic protective. If you want something more like the show, track down the Yamato. If you want a more "realistic" approach, get the DX. If you were let down by the Yamato and want something like it but better, tweet Arcadia... But I think it sold like a turd for Yamato so don't hold your breath.

    So just an apology? No word of replacement parts?

    Well I guess I know what's coming! Agreed, I'm going to be a lot more judicious with my purchases abroad until we get some slower shipping and cheaper options.

    Great question, I assumed it included the duty, I should have looked for small print. I went to ship something today from fromJapan and they make it very clear their prices don't include duty so maybe I'll get a second bill from DHL for my AE shipment. I'll report back if I do.
  7. I think Kawamori has very limited ability to do anything and his involvement is largely collecting a fee to say he is involved.

    DHL charge for the 19P from AE was 5200 yen which feels steep but relieved it wants the crazy amounts some have been quoted.
  9. I have a few complaints about Mospeada but one of the bigger ones is the flight choreography... The battles just aren't exciting.
  10. I wouldn't mind them moving back to the 1/35 prototype and leaving this line as it is.

    DHL is great for me I'm the Los Angeles area. Just asked AE to ship but haven't received an invoice yet.
  12. I didn't remember any word on the VE-1, just assumptions since the VT-1 has similarities and seemed to sell well.

    A brand new toy based on a 14 year old release? Oof. They should have done a missing link 1/65.

    1/55's revisited

    No documentation but I would guess the heat shield would be in the battroid tray since it was included with the 1A and that only had the one tray.
  15. I believe it's listed as a laser guided bomb launcher... but it points upward in bomber mode.
  16. Cool CMs Toynami combo there.
  17. Aww, reminds me of the oft teased Toynami... Glad you were able to make your own, looks good!

    1/55's revisited

    Didn't want to wait for the Toynami?
  19. If you don't mind it being a first edition, I can help. I bought the reissue to compare and don't need a plethora of Etas.

    It's 3.5cm taller and has light effects, it's definitely different.
  21. It's getting strange how much momentum the line has lost... Renewal Frontier toys bumped this line.
  22. You can recess the ankle joints in diver mode and that helps remove some of the play.
  23. I thought we had a post somewhere that showed the knee and all its components... less from a "here's how you fix it" but more from a "holy hell, how was this the design they chose" standpoint. Yes though, Bandai likes glue which is no good for us who have to fix their products.
  24. Yeah, vacuformed tray is next level.
