    Hi-Metal R

    Both my spartans arrived today. First thing I felt right out of the box is the weight of the toy. Oh the weight! That's so much more die-cast parts. I don't have a weighting scale, but comparing the spartan with my HMR Vf-1A, the spartan felt about 3 times heavier. Then there's the articulations. So much articulations everywhere, especially the arms. Even the mini turret (the one that looks like an IR sensor) can turn. Love the color and finishing. And the pop-out missiles gimmicks for the shoulder missiles bays. Enough for now. Back to playing the toy. Glad I got 3 of them.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It a pricing gimmick. Price the item lower than your competitors but make up the difference from shipping charge. Also, NY's shipping calculator is mostly a joke, and their combine shipping feature a bad joke. Unfortunately for overseas collectors, there aren't much choice beside NY and 1 or 2 others for web exclusive items.

    NY just shipped my super parts, after I paid the extortion fee extra shipping charge.

    Oh great! NY did it again. Additional shipping charge request for the super parts

    Strange. Did you opt for combined-shipping?

    Received notice from NY that they have shipped my spartans
  7. Maybe they found a forgotten cache in their warehouse, just like HLJ did

    Nice photo! I thought those missiles need support to hold them in place?

  10. Hate to say this, but I if I'm not wrong, this "Elvis valk" ain't DX but rather 1/72 model kit....... Edit: Oops....just realized someone has already mentioned one page before that this is a kit

    Bandai DX VF-31

    That sounds more like Spanner
  12. Same here. Hopefully improvements (if any) won't come with increase cost, but that seems highly unlikely.

    Never use NY's conversation rate! It's another way of topping up their profits, on top of their over-priced shipping rates gimmick

    Hi-Metal R

    According to Tamashii website, it is a normal release. However, the MSRP is over 1000yen more than the VF-1A and 1J. Using google translate, it seems there might be a stand included.
