    Yours seems a bit worse than mine, at least he's not shooting his nosecone off over here.
  2. Sanity is Optional
    Nope, some people use the black ones for the VF-31F.

    I have 2 copies of every DX VF-1 so far, plus 5 missile sets and 4ea TV/DYRL FAST packs. All at MSRP except for a Kakizaki at like +$10 via Amazon japan, a $70 missile set, and proxy fees for the web exclusives. I really don't think they're that hard to get, though I know many people can't. From my perspective, the current KC prices are too high for me to replace the V1 Roy 1S I have with the Rick V2 1S. I might have grabbed one if I didn't already have the Roy, just for completionist's sake.

    Also, Bandai is licensed to Big West, whereas KC is licensed to HG. As good as their products are, that counts against them in my book.

    V2 with fastpacks is listed at $200, and $140 for w/o packs. That's a bit rich for my blood. Kinda wish they'd drop the LED gimmicks and the price. I'll keep an eye out in case it ever goes on sale, I suppose.

    That explains the tiny torso and huge legs.
  7. Sanity is Optional
    Well, I've been meaning to for a while, but just put in for collection coverage. I think I've got enough figures and such it's worthwhile at this point.

    That is close to the original price, Premium Finish editions are a bit more expensive than normal Arcadias, and normal Arcadias are a bit more expensive than DX Chogokins. The normal VF-4 edition is almost ¥30,000
  9. Sanity is Optional
    Yup. I have 3 DX Roys, one is loose to the point where the legs splay out on their own, and the other two are loose as well, but tight enough they can at least hold a pose.

    I have a V1 VF-25F super boxed set that I picked up heavily used from Mandarake several years ago, actually is still the original blue-grey shade they made it in, despite being on display since I got it. I suspect the plastic quality was a bit better on the super pack box set reissues.
  11. Sanity is Optional
    Because the VF-1J without the GPB didn't have a grey visor.
  12. Sanity is Optional
    They might do a reissue with the visor painted grey to go with the GBP, which would look very odd without.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Yeah, that I can see.

    ...Am I the only one who can't see enphily's gif? I just get some weird 404 page in Cyrillic.

    Is there any point to having PayPal as an extra layer? Never had any real issue doing chargebacks through my credit cards directly.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    In my case I got a card w/o currency conversion fees years ago, so I do all my Yen buying with it. 3% savings adds up over a while. Especially when buying things that are like ¥25,000-¥30,000 shipped.
  17. Sanity is Optional
    I charged through my credit card and got my refund earlier today (notification from my credit card). Honestly, I don't see any point in paying through paypal. Credit cards have a better/longer claim policy, plus equivalent of better currency exchange fees. Plus you get the money all the way back.

    Personally I suggest superglue as a bandaid. I keep a bottle around for just that while I'm building models.

    I told people about FromJapan, and now I can't use them anymore as everyone else is. My backup is staying low-key.
  21. Sanity is Optional
    Just got a cancellation/failure email from FromJapan. Fortunately my other proxy came through, though.
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Nice, just got an email from one of my proxies they managed to order 2 for me. Still waiting on the other proxy, but not super hopeful about that one.
  23. Sanity is Optional
    ¥3300 higher. ¥19,800 (18,000+10%) vs ¥23,100 (21,000+10%). Fan racer is a great addition, but I am a bit disappointed that it comes with so many DYRL-style hands, and so few SDFM style hands.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Got a Christmas surprise, and my 4x TV Supers showed up today, rather than the estimated delivery on Monday. Still waiting to see if either of my proxy orders went through for the VF-1D.

    Only if you can arrange yourself a genuine Japanese phone number to register with, the one Tenso gives is already registered to a P-Bandai account, and cannot be reused.
