    Another review. I mostly skimmed through it just to be curious if the missiles will be installed backwards lol. But they were properly installed. What's surprising is that the missiles look massively undersized compared to the Yamcadia (he compares with the KO 1/60). And apparently the 1/60 missiles fit right onto TZ's pylons.

    I think despite what the official specs say, the VT-1 is the fastest valk ever judging by how fast it flew to everyone's doors. All boosters and no weapons really help with the weight.

    With a P-Bandai item, gotta remember retailers will be slower to get their stock in, while waiting for their own proxy, proxy dupes, proxy friends & family to get item in hand before sending it out to said retailer’s warehouse. If by now any retailer haven’t sent out any copies (perhaps Nin-Nin?), I suspect it’s just they are waiting for majority stocks to arrive first before initiating the fulfilment process.

    Moderately bent going by comparison with others. I just wanted to first exhaust options with HLJ, in case they or Bandai asked to send in the bent part if there is a replacement to be given. Guess I'll straighten it myself now. Meanwhile, Bandai published a support article on how to detach & re-attach the head lasers. https://support.bandaispirits.co.jp/s/article/20240705

    I think 'contacting supplier' reply is a standard initial response from HLJ for replacement part request. I've also just received the rejection mail from HLJ just now. As you are in Japan, perhaps you'll have better luck in contacting Bandai directly? That seems to work based on a few examples posted over the past few pages..

    Love this display. @Angesdad I’m still waiting reply from HLJ. Meanwhile, someone else did get replacements from them yesterday. Bit of head scratcher why HLJ telling some there no replacements from Bandai, & at same time others do get it.

    I like watching his reviews, usually he has fantastic still montages at the end of his videos. This is first time I'm seeing him handling a transformable figure though. He nearly put on the missiles backwards too.

    Wasn't planning to get this at all, but a chance popped up to pick it up cheap, and I took it. I like the arcade cabinet-style packaging of the normal versions better haha.

    Thanks for the pics @tekering. Somehow, I prefer the beige either the HMR or Yamato used. The light beige used on the DX reminds me of a yellowing valk lol. But that may be a good thing down the road. @Usagi Thanks for the video too. Now I can't get the image of a frying pan stuck on face out of my head. It's Moehime-Japantoys. Anyone buying from them just be careful to make sure any PO's are well within PP's 6-month protection window.

    Just for fun I weighted the Yammie 17, and it came to to 503g, just slightly above the DX VF-1. The weight matches its chonky looks, but at least the landing gears are sturdier. Still a bit miffed about the DX 21's thin & wobbly ones. I hope this is all it takes to solve every bent laser issue, in the absence of Bandai's support. No 3D print replacements needed even.

    After I submitted ticket couple days ago, they got back to me the next day saying they will put in request to supplier for ‘antenna’ replacement. I’ll be following up with them in a few days if I don’t get any updates from them. However I’m not really optimistic on getting a replacement laser, as couple of others with same issue on FB have gotten responses from HLJ this week that Bandai won’t be giving replacement parts. If it comes to that, I’ll be more interested to know why the double standards by Bandai supporting domestic customers who wrote in directly to them, but not HLJ who is also JP based. My YF-21 was also via EMS from HLJ. The tracking went from date of origin posting, straight to arrival at destination country a week later. There were no updates of parcel having left origin country this time. For a day or two, I thought my parcel got lost.

    You are probably thinking of T-Rex, the toy design studio: https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2015/12/06/meet-t-rex-the-awesome-mecha-toy-designers-youve-likely-never-heard-of/

    Yup just tug at it. Video from a few pages back of a reviewer removing it: Also pic on how the head laser is connected to the head:

    Whats next for Arcadia?

    MKT replied to w8kbrder's topic in Toys

    I was just going back a few pages in the thread, and Arcadia did mention changing their factory again this year. I guess it didn't work out long term with the other previous new factory they were using for the YF-19 and VF-19 Kai reissues. I think they must be really looking to small, inexperienced factories to produce their stuff, hence the delays to bring quality up to required level. On the flip side, the production costs at these factories must be much cheaper for Arcadia to be able to maintain same prices for all the recent and current reissues.

    Haha that's just it.. I haven't tuned in to rock channels for a long time, so as with many other bands they just slip away from mind, until they resurface on YouTube or FB feeds. Yeah news item about one-armed drummer do pop up semi-occasionally, and perhaps that is my only reminder of them then.
