  1. Judging by the extra gates, looks like they ran into some issues with the large parts having bubbles/gaps.
  2. The only thing I fault NY for at this point is poor communication. Compared to every other grey market P-Bandai seller, they're ahead just by the fact they're still fulfilling orders, however slowly.
  3. Still better than just getting your order cancelled, considering the $500+ market price right now.
  4. It wasn't just NY, other "grey market" P-Bandai re-sellers also had reduced quantities. Some cancelled orders, and My Konbini cancelled orders and then re-listed at a markup. As far as I can remember, NY is unique in the fact that they're actually fulfilling all the non-cancelled orders.
  5. I'm most worried about the arms, seeing the VF-31s spindly arms with those massive gattling guns attached to the end. Those arms are going to sag worse than the VF-27.
  6. CDJ just sent me another email, release pushed back to November.
  7. I skipped the first Messer, so may as well grab this one to fill out the Squad.
  8. Yup, they dropped the price 2,000¥. Now it's only ¥2,000 above their pre-order price of ¥17,500. Guess it's not selling quickly, which doesn't surprise me too much.
  9. We are getting another Delta movie, so maybe everyone will get armored packs in that one.
  10. I figure Arad's should work for Mirage's. It's Orange in the movie.
  11. I'm just imagining someone hitting the Itano Circus button and blowing up their own radar dish.
  12. They're all well engineered, it's mainly which paint scheme/head you prefer. Personally I like Mirage's VF-31C the most.
  13. Thanks for the heads up, decided to buy from CDJ and cancel he HLJ order they can't be sure will be filled. Besides, has 2540¥ of points, plus they've got a ¥500 off coupon right now, so it was only $170 shipped.
  14. Depends on which valk. Few look good in all 3 modes, some only look good in 1 mode (VF-4)
  15. At least it's an easy fix, and it's not broken on all of them. The 4 I received all luckily had intact head lasers, and the new design let me check them while leaving the tray sealed.
  16. As @Boobytrap mentioned, the breakage is only in the older version of the kit that has an ABS frame. The OVA Sinanju MG uses a different frame material and won't have the issue. Also the original MG Sinanju can be built using the spare waist peg included in the Sinanju Stein (which is not ABS) to remedy the issue.
  17. Aesthetically, the packaging is much better. It just lacks cushioning at the top. I do like that I can open the box and actually see the valk, rather than just a sheet of cardboard taped to a Styrofoam tray.
  18. I'm going to load that up as soon as my lil-dracken set shows up, sometime in February.
  19. There's always the MG Sinanju, which I generally see touted as one of the best MG kits.
  20. I'd only planned to get 1 VF-31a, I just happened to end up with 3 while making sure I got at least 1...
  21. They specifically stated that they had gotten fewer units than they expected. Also since their email told me I could cancel, I doubt they'd hold it against me. In any case, I'm leaving it open in case they can fill the order.
  22. Basara? He's a better pilot than anyone from Delta, certainly.
  23. Ah, lucky you. I got the Sheryl figure, a chibi Mylene figure, and one of those stupid light-up delta things HLJ couldn't give away.
