    The translation is cool and great to know.

    HMR VF-19 Kai release date to be August 10.

    Well I'm just basing it on the HMR Regults, where except for the Zentraedi insignia at the forehead, all the markings and tattoos are different between the 3 variants, so it makes each of them slightly more unique & interesting. (Pic borrowed from Anymoon.com)

    Wow seriously Bandai? 2 consecutive blunders in a row, on DX's no less? Don't have a Yamato Ostrich, but the tail on DX with large surface area on a now fixed small connection point is just a terrible idea. Sorry to hear this @Shawn @Radioguy. And since its officially a Japan-only item, the chance of official support is really up to the seller in Japan to get replacements. Judging by nature of break it doesn't look like it's a swappable part, so even if seller somehow manages to get support, the whole item likely needs to be sent in for exchange.

    Haha it was confusing when the grey prototypes were shown previously, and still confusing now with the colored ones. ‘Hen Dou Ryoku’ is the transforming line of VF-1, and are the ones with the heavily reinterpreted sculpt & Vf-2SS influence. The other line is named ‘A//Action’ and are non-transforming action figures. Individual figures for each mode, with a more traditional VF-1 sculpt. Though as mentioned some time back, other than Battroid, I don’t know how much ‘action’ Fighter can be. I’m thinking it might be better if all 3-modes are bundled into a set instead of each mode being sold separately, but Unix Square hasn’t indicated yet how they will be sold or price.

    Looking at the packaging, it appears KC is releasing the Artillery Battlepods first, though it looks like all Battlepods will have same box art, with the Artillery ones having a sticker saying so. Based on the ToysTV video posted in Kids Logic thread, the Zentraedi soldier is nowhere to be seen. So still in development.. Another info out of the video is that KC’s also considering bundling all 3 pods for a price of HKD 2000, although not sure if it includes the soldier. One thing I noticed, is that all pods have the same tattoo & markings. If I remember, the normal pod is supposed to have different markings from the Artillery ones just like the HMR Regults. KC’s initial pics on the product page show a difference between both, but now when I go back and look at the pages, they all now have the same tattoos. The missile packs will be the sole differentiating factor.

    Not only is there a big gap between the intake and chest plate, but the angle of the whole nose looks really weird. I get that they want to it such the crotch sticks out a bit in Battroid, but in Fighter the nose pointing more upwards than usual just reminds me of a wasp's arse.

    Over at FB, one of the US-based sellers who just received stocks is saying Bandai USA gives an 8-month warranty on the YF-21, with implication that they will replace in case anyone’s got a bent head laser. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/PXnQzLysUYUtqhak/?mibextid=K35XfP Meanwhile, I do hope anyone who got bent head lasers from JP will get replacement from their vendors. Just want to know their response vs HLJ’s. The latter has been quite unhelpful in this situation.

    The bike now in colour actually looks nice.

    Most of my Sentinel Ride Armors are still unplayed, except for when I took out Stick when it was first released. Hope to find time & space for all of them soon..

    Nice to see more progress on that huge Legioss. Looks like Pose+ has iterated more on it to allow exposed details on certain parts. Still no word on pricing though.

    Hmm the video for Unix Square actually starts slightly earlier at just after the 1 hour 10min mark.. and the 2nd set of video & pics actually refer to KC instead. Nice to see Roy's 1S being painted up too, but other than the design for these Transforming VF-1 looking very busy, the worst aspects of it are the knee joints looking awfully thin & weedy. The grey mold at the center of the Transforming VF-1 display piques some interest - it looks like a VF-1 wearing Tomahawk armor. So I guess this is what they meant by 'future release of unique armor accessories' in their earlier FB post. No doubt this idea is inspired by the earlier mash-up done by R-Area, but Unix Square's execution look a bit meh. Just not feeling the whole thing.

    Thought of opening new thread, but perhaps we just need a thread title update to insert Unix Square somewhere? @no3Ljm. So this transformable 1J is at HKD1250, which puts it slightly higher than the Threezero's. Obviously the 75% discount at the upcoming exhibition is a typo, what they meant is 25% off. Size in Battroid at 22cm is about comparable to Threezero / Yamcadia. Somehow it looks better in the grey prototype they showed previously, hopefully they have colour samples of other modes in the exhibition. But I'm so tired of Rick / Hikaru 1J scheme.

    I can only think playing cards have elements of gambling which is frowned upon in certain countries and so attract higher taxes.

    @Zeliard's experience with Luna Park does highlight how unified HS Codes can be important for folks in certain countries. It was around a year ago that HS Code declaration by the shipper was mandatory for parcels shipped out of Japan, including via Japan Post. I checked back a few shipping dispatch notes received over the past year from multiple vendors (HLJ, Mandarake, Nin-Nin etc), and they all use the same 9503.00 code that's generally applicable to Toys and Models category. Luna Park using another code (9504.40 applies to Playing Cards) is really a booboo on their part. So just curious if LP have also been using this wrong code for all of their other shipments over the past year outside of this VT-1. Perhaps we have to first confirm with smaller vendors, or vendors that we have not ordered from before, the HS codes they will be using to prevent unnecessary taxation when it lands in our country.

    @dtrinh Sucks to hear both copies have the same issue. Hopefully Luna Park is able to get the replacements for you.
