Yeah it’s not unlike the colour of the VF-1D’s back cover on the HM-R I guess. Very confusing. Now that I can’t unsee this uncoloured patch, I may have to get hold of some 1/48 water decals for the dome part...
-
Hi there! I guess it is another one of those animation inconsistencies between the TV version and the official specs. Someone posted this in a Macross Facebook group which showed the yellow. Curiously, Hikaru’s DX VF-1J also has the red circle on its backpack.
-
Open box reports have come in about the tailfin modex numbers. But of course this is Bandai we are talking about, and they left the circle on the folded backpack unpainted instead of yellow.
-
Seems like we are in the same situation. However I’m not too worried yet because it does seem that there is a lot of stock going around in Hong Kong at the moment, which may suggest that Bandai had really upped the production volume for this one.

NNG has replied to my ticket. I asked if I needed to upgrade from EMS to UPS/DHL. They said they should upgrade it automatically and will let me know when it ships. I am happy to see that quite a few others have already received tracking info from them. Fingers crossed I will get a tracking number on Monday.
-
I’m in the first batch with NNG’s Roy preorder as well, but would probably wait a bit more than a week before escalating things with them. They have delivered my prior orders and I am cautiously optimistic that they will come through. Here’s a suggestion: how about all of us NNG buyers keep track of when/how much our preorders were, and let others know once we have shipment updates so at least we all know if they had systematically fulfilled the pricier orders before the cheaper ones. That “evidence” would probably help our case more than spam emails asking “where’s my stuff”? Rdrunner: 1x Roy DX @ 17,820 yen ordered on July 3
-
Yeah I am of the same mindset that if NNG honors the 17800 yen PO’s, that would be fantastic. I’m somewhat hopeful that there seem to be plenty of Roys available from the initial prices on amazon and YJA. I dropped NNG a message and will let you guys know if I hear anything.
-
Same here mate. I see that you’ve also asked the same question as me. Anxiously waiting to see if NNG will really honor our POs at this price.
-
Lucky you! I have a preorder with Nin-Nin but no news yet (I picked EMS shipping at the time). If you don’t mind me asking, what was your PO price and what shipping method did you pick? Thanks.
-
I got the same notification today from MK as well. It was my “insurance” for my PO at nin-nin for 17,800 yen... i have a feeling that the stock level of Roy DX is not as tight as previous issues. A few toy stores in Hong Kong have recently opened rounds of pre order for around HKD 2,000 ($250 US) for local pickup.
-
Another reason to buy the 1D... double ejection seat triangle markings!
-
Yeah I’m with you on the proportions of the GBP as well. Thought something looked off and it’s not as “beefy” as I thought. That 1D though, the double seater and canopy looks very nice. I wonder if the proportions were tweaked for the two seater?
-
Congrats - yesterday I finally received a response from NY. They told me straight up that they will not be getting the SSP because a supplier has screwed them, and I can either get store credit or a one-time (gasp) option to switch to other merchandise of the same value, or wait even longer (but no guarantees). Seems to me they are telling different stories to different customers, and they liked you more than they liked me I guess....
-
*waves from the other long line waiting for N-Y to ship the SSP set that I ordered in June 2019*
-
Yeah that what I thought was also missing, lol.
-
You forgot to flip the "ARMD-01" as well!
-
A v2/renewal may come out that can do just that (baby carrier detachment, upright seats exiting battroid)!
-
… and a separate missile effects parts set ala HM-R style!
-
I am just waiting for the TV Kakizaki, GBP armor, and if they'll make one, TV VF-1D. But I think double seaters will probably not be made using this exact same mold - maybe a renewal version or something with modified cockpit proportions and hopefully detachable nosecone/pilot seat enclosure.
-
Haha, thanks, good to know there are other Family Guy fans here! I think my repeated postings about NY may have caught their attention on MWF, and they finally sent instructions on how to submit (yet another) ticket to request a change in shipping method. Finally received my 0D PF by UPS yesterday.
-
In the Asia forums there is talk about local stores getting an extra allocation of the DYRL VF-1S last Saturday, out of the blue. YJA prices seems to have come down slightly as well. Apparently Bandai found extra stock and these are being pushed through the regular channels. Very strange - was Bandai hoarding their own stock of the DX 1S in the first place?? haha!
-
Sorry mate to hear about your continued problems with them. Are you the one who got the used Hikaru DX VF-1S when you tried to place a PO for Roy's DX? That whole thing is both bizarre and frakked up. I hope you get resolution on this soon one way or another, and I agree with you, never settle for store credit. Best of luck!
-
Thanks @sh9000, I talked to him already
-
I just received mine today. Hope those who are still waiting will get theirs soon.
-
Hi Jenius, I got an email from them (and I think you did too) asking me to submit a new ticket with the exact title "Change Shipping Method", and that seemed to have worked. Got a payment request yesterday afternoon, which I paid for immediately, and got a shipment notice and UPS tracking number this morning. Hope you'll get yours soon.
