If you preordered the TV super parts, then they come with the TV reaction missiles.

It's up to you if you want to wait, but the link above describes how to dissemble the shoulders, clean them, repair them using the loctite plastic bonding system, file the knurl, then reassemble them. Ive done it on a half dozen valks a few completely failed, and a few preemptive with very good results. You still want to handle them gently, preferably lifting the shoulder joint from below while transforming, but I haven't had one fail yet after the fix.

Check the last 5-10 pages, both issues have been addressed.

That would be cool, but I think most of us would want a version with different shoulders and hands to be more animation accurate even it is re-envisioned. Still, would be cool in the black/grey. Not sure how easily or cheaply they could do the new molds.

Ah... the screws, didn't notice that, I put the parts on in Battroid mode, and I didn't even notice I got them reversed. -

By far my favorite paint scheme. -

oh, only the 1J head and the super parts are painted, the rest is stickered up originals, wouldn't want to misrepresent my work. -

Ahhhhh, what can be better than a Yamato VF-1A Cavaliers How about two? You know while we're at it, why not three? Wait, one is a custom VF-1J Cavaliers Squad leader? Crazy!! How about custom Super Parts!!!!! ......OK now that's just excessive. But Damn.... He looks good. I've been working on getting these guys together and painted for over a year, nice to finally have them done. Thanks to @tekering for sharing the the color pallet way back when, and to @connor99 for the spare pair of Super Parts UNSPACY kites.

Different pilot, different degree of Tampo (see the other TV Valks, different colored arrow on the head, and the VF-1S Hikaru head.
-
Yeah the grey and red really make it stand out more.
-
Well here you go, not a perfect result, but looks pretty %$&*ing cool in my book. Thanks for everybody's input!

I think a parts-former solid boom like Toynami may be the most structurally sound idea. That is if you want to zoom it around and not just display it. That being said it will be interesting to see what Sentinel comes up with.

I picked up my 1J two days after release for $257.82 shipped from rakutan through From Japan. The price didn't take long to skyrocket on that one, but it was available, and Roy's 1S will be too.
-
Generally shipping isn't quite that bad, but this is a very large/heavy toy, the other line to be ware of shipping on is the Yamato 1/48's, especially the supers and even more so the stealth strike, nearly cried myself to sleep that night after seeing the shipping costs.
-
They won't do it, as I said, it says in their fine print when you ready for shipping, that it's up to the shipping manager of the day. Welcome to try though. At the best of times shipping from Japan is an arm and a leg. This is not the best of times.
-
You're not getting the Monster box shipped, you're getting the Monster box packed in a bigger box and shipped. They have great customer service, but I've had more than one shipping heart attack with them. The really bad part is you can't tell them to change it, it's up the to packing manager of the day.
-
Also I paid earlier today for the Super Parts on DEJapan, and I just got a confirmation email that they were ordered. So for the moment, looking good.
-
Depends on the shipping method, never had an issue with them, aside from how they split up or combine items in shipments. One time they combined the 2 Yamato 1/48s, and shipping was reasonable, the next time they shipped them separate and it was an arm and a leg. But aside from that, very reliable and good customer service.
-
Put the Tamashii URL in their search box, they've already reached their allotment.
-
Max and Milia traditionally have custom super parts, IE red and blue, not the standard color worn by Hikaru and all the CFs.
-
Those that missed out, don't panic, with each one of these VF-1 DX releases they have been available on release day for a modest markup, don't give into paranoia and the scalpers.
