Man, I'm really glad I got 2 sets of those regults when they were at "retail". $400 is more of a percentage increase than even the 31A.
-
Well, the Eaglemoss ones are nice, but they're the wrong scale. -
Ok, that makes more sense, never seen the original art.
-
...Why did they make Gomez fat? Just generic "Dad's a fatass, mom's attractive" approach?
-
In the US you can track SAL shipments through USPS as soon as they hit customs.
-
Looks like this is one that'll sell out, rather than sit and get discounted like the VF-2.
-
You can try returning it, and hoping the next one they ship is better.
-
I think unfortunately you got a bad one, at least compared to mine. My copy has lighter panel wash in most places, and seems to have a bit less of the upwards look to the bow. I did notice that my landing bay side-pods are uneven, but it's not too noticeable.
-
Thanks for the heads up Alex. Ordered one there to replace the defective one from HLJ. If anyone's interested in a VF-4 with missing right leg sliding cover, it's yours for $100+shipping (from California), otherwise I'll send it back to HLJ for the refund.
-
Yup, right leg is missing the sliding cover, left leg is fine.
-
Well, heard back from HLJ. They can't get me a replacement, either send it back for a full refund, or they'll give me 10% of the price back as store credit. A bit torn, since without the leg cover it's only good for fighter mode, but I do have a second one on the way from CDJ.
-
I have the classic basestar as well, honestly it's pretty plain. No tampo or markings, just a wash. The battlestars (both 2004 and classic) are much more impressive.
-
Well, good thing I decided to transform my VF-4, turns out one of the legs was missing the sliding cover. I've contacted HLJ about it, hopefully I can get a replacement rather than a refund.
-
Whoops, wrong thread.
-
Pretty sure at least some of the images are a prototype, given the irregular fitting of the sections at the saucer rim.
-
Got my PW shipped from HLJ, plus a pre-order from Eaglemoss showed up.
-
Just got mine in the mail from HLJ. There was a bit of residue on one of the canards, but it wiped off. Otherwise looks good.
-
Nice to see an update, can't wait for another VF-1 for the shelf.
-
I made the Luca RVF-25 kit, and the VF-27 Brera kit (which is quite similar. Both are actually pretty well engineered, and transform nicely (the exception being locking the intakes and legs in for VF-27 Gerwalk). Might be the armor pack that's causing a lot of the issues, I find Luca tabs in pretty nicely all around. The transforming VF-31 and SV-262 models however are much better.
-
Matched Chuck the closest, given the images that have been floating around of his DX.
-
DX Chogokin isn't really 1/60, it's more "all robots roughly the same size".
-
I'll be honest, I don't really like the -31 supers much. The over-wing pods just look clunky. The rest (missiles, shields) are fine, but I much prefer the VF-25 around-wing boosters.
-
Put in shipping request to HLJ, now for the waiting. At least it's coming EMS, since I had some other stuff waiting. No word on the second one I ordered from CDJapan.
-
Not what I was expecting, but glad I can finally get a Max 1A, after the HMR and Arcadia Max 1Js.
-
I haven't taken out most of my recent acquisitions, ran out of space to display. Also about to buy a condo, so it doesn't make sense to unbox everything just to re-box and finally display at the new place. On the downside, I can now afford significantly fewer valkyries per month.
