That's surprisingly an ok price, instead of their usual insane mark-ups. But then again, I do remember i got my TWE VF-1D from them for ok price too, so I guess for TWE they are a good choice. -
I think it will not work with Tenso. With Tenso, you still need to do the purchasing from P-Bandai yourself. Although you can provide Tenso's local JP address as shipping address, it would already have been flagged by Bandai. Additionally, your overseas credit card will not work too.

None of the pics show the booster parts’ inner details, so can we expect a Mechanics Version down the road? Anime Export, Hobby Genki, Nin-nin, perhaps Yoyakunow..

The issue with proxies is that the number of slots a proxy have to purchase with Bandai are limited, so the proxy usually run out of slots fast. The good news is if Bandai themselves sells out out this PO, they will open another round of POs for second batch, release usually a month or 2 after original batch. But I think PO quantities for Macross web exclusive valks have never went past the first batch; only the VF-1 accessories Super Parts & missiles have had multiple batch release.

Good catch. Edited the original post to reflect web exclusive.

Didn’t expect this to be so soon after YF-21 PO: DX Chogokin VT-1 Super Ostrich Price: Yen 35,200 (inc 10% domestic tax) PO: Jan 26, 2024 (tomorrow!) Release: July 2024 Includes 2 x Hikaru pilot figure, 1 x Misa, 1 x Minmay, and papercraft tent. For those not familiar yet, this is not a WWM release. Japan-only. Edit: This will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive (TWE) / P-Bandai release. https://tamashiiweb.com/item_character/macross_series/?wovn=en

Not sure what do you mean by alternate colour, but I guess you could identify differences by way of packaging. https://anymoon.com/blog/?cat=60 has links to the v1, Renewals and their associated super parts so perhaps it might be helpful.

All the Macross x Super Robots that R-Area have been teasing for a while will be in a new doujin.

Just to add to @Scyla's post, Arcadia has previously detailed how they handle orders: https://ameblo.jp/arcadiaac/entry-12322090697.html Bandai's TWE / P-Bandai items would be similar as well, except all orders have to be funneled directly to their website.

I had to look up Pseudo Saturn, and the memories are slowly coming back although still fuzzy.. I'm not sure how many types of Pseudo Saturn were out there, but I have used something similar. If I recall correctly, I experienced the same errors as you did then and it is due to the cartridge pins sometimes not aligning properly to the slot due to bad tolerances, hence iffy contact points. In my case, I had to pull up very slightly the cartridge on one side (I think right side), such that there is a very gentle sloping tilt, the right side being higher than the left. It has to be just right, too much or too little and the errors will be there.

Someone photoshopped an earlier pic of it with walking crutches... why do I now find it relevant again? This is really a polarizing valk lol.. but also the most popular going by recent PO activity.

Playing with a Fax Mactory 1/20 Low-Vis VF-1J.

Wing pins glued? Didn't think Bandai would employ such a cheap solution, but I guess it is rather effective lol.. I admire how you are willing to straightaway take apart a minty new toy.
-
Nice observation & agreed, the angle of cockpit is down to the amount of lean. It at least points to the design being stable enough to do so, even at prototype stage, while I'm recalling my VF-22 Battroid can only stand at a specific lean angle otherwise it will tumble down. 😅
-
Looks like the wings are really aligned perfectly in Fighter now. I guess Bandai must have done some work on the wing pegs to make it that way. I'm more tempted to get it now because of that.
-
Had a look again.. I don't think it's the same person. Likely like the person on FB posted without acknowledging source..
-
Perhaps it was mis-transformed? The thrust doesn't look as prominent in Bandai's official pics.. Or is it?

Not much reviews online of the VF-171EX yet.. I guess even reviewers waiting for others to try transforming their copies first. Meanwhile, the first copy on Mandarake, Yen 25k and available. Slight defect though. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1250356730&lang=en

HJ Web has finally put this article online, with nice pics. Be sure to enable web-translation. https://hjweb.jp/article/1322009/ The 'replacement canopy parts' in Bandai's product page is almost certain to be parts-forming replacement seat for Battroid. Quoting HJ Web: "The cockpit hatch can be opened and closed, and the Gard Gore Bowman figure in the boarding posture can be seated inside. The unique posture of BDI (Brain Direct Image) and the mechanism that rotates the seat 90 degrees when in battroid form are also reproduced by replacing.."

That's true.. rewards from past purchases shouldn't be relevant in this context. That should probably be in the specific store treads in other sections of the forum.
