Nice, but someone please wake me up when the Dark Legioss comes along...
-
Any idea what the going rate is for a Calibre Wings 1/72 Shin Special that was only opened up to inspect the contents and never displayed?
-
What's the going rate for a displayed only DX DYRL VF-1S with a couple of corner dings to the box? Also, missing one of the Gerwalk antennas. (Came that way)
-
Still waiting on the Dark version...I have long wait ahead, lol.
-
Why not all three?
-
I'd like to know as well.
-
^ This.

Watching scalpers getting burned:

That person is getting ready to make some serious money on Ebay in a few years.

Indeed, I'm glad they decided to make it right for the TV Roy 1S. I'm probably going to sell my Hikaru 1S, the Roy 1S simply looks better to me for one thing, and for another it doesn't have that Goddamned backwards modex number for the sake of "Symmetry" in battroid or whatever nonsense reason they had to make it that way.

OK, I feel the need to add to this post, so I will. To be clear, I am still NOT a fan of the following: 1. Those Goddamned leg fins...Why OH WHY could they not come up with a similar design choice like Yamato did?! You can't tell me they couldn't have done those in such a way that they can be locked into place, a very piss poor design choice and for me easily the most aggravating thing about this design. 2. The arms still using friction fit pegs in fighter mode. These will only loosen up over time (Assuming you were fortunate enough to have them come tight in fighter mode in the first place) though not that big of a deal IF you're using Bandai's stand and displaying it in fighter mode the way they want you to. Though listed as #2, this in my opinion is tied for #1 with the leg fin issue. 3. The movable head laser gimmick, there's literally NO NEED for this and only creates more aggravation in getting them in the proper position in all modes. 4. Movable wing flaps - I still don't see the need for this gimmick, but that's just me, it's actually the least annoying of the differences between Yamato/Arcadia and Banda's DX design. I remember some of you saying you were holding out hope for them addressing at least some of these issues, but it should be clear by now that Bandai has no intention of ever doing so. I, like the rest of you, will either have to live with these issues or just use Elmer's glue. (Which can be removed with warm water) My opinion hasn't changed now that I have two of these. The sculpt, weight, panel lines, and over the top tampo print detail make it worth owning, but I think that overall, Yamato did it better. The DX is an improvement in some areas, and a step backwards in others. If you have a bunch of Yamato/Arcadia's, then you can skip this or get just one just to have it for something new. I will be getting the VF-1D to go with my TV Roy 1S, I wasn't expecting a two seater, but since they are, I'll get one of those. After that, unless they come out with a stealth/low vis version, I'm done. I'm sure that if they came though for me, they'll come through for you and the others, I think what happened is that they had limited stock on hand and sent those out and are sending them out as they get stock in. Hang in there! *Edit* This is going to sound weird, but for some strange reason, this overall looks better than my DYRL Hikaru 1S. Logically I know this is impossible, the only explanation I can come up with is that the Yellow and Black just makes the whole thing look better to me than the Red and Black of the DYRL 1S. O.o

My TV Roy 1S got here a little while ago, no QC issues, the arms stay up better in fighter mode than my Hikaru 1S, and the wing flaps stay in place a bit more snugly as well. Very happy with it, and I'm glad that Nin-Nin came through for me and everyone else as well. I was in the $225.29 group price wise, cost me $275.10 with shipping. If there's any future pre-order madness and the other places are sold out, I'll go with Nin-Nin again.
-
Nice. Mine is supposed to be here by noon today.
-
Indeed, I'd be furious. I'm sorry that happened to you.
-
Oh, thank GOD. I will definitely be preordering that. I got mine when it was $225.29 and got my shipping notice on the 27th of November. Mine will be arriving on the 3rd as well. I am SO glad they stopped making the "001" backwards on the right tailfin. It irks me everytime I see it on my Hikaru DRYL 1-S.
-
Same here! Woo-hoo!! Can't wait til it gets here. I hope they come through for everyone else as well.
-
Still nothing from Nin-Nin yet, order is still listed as "Pre-Order Confirmed", I went with FedEx/DHL for shipping.
-
-
Same here, got mine through Nin-Nin, just waiting to see if they cancel mine or actually ship my order. Here's hoping my gamble pays off.
-
If push comes to shove, I'll just have to get the 1D on the secondary market. *shrugs*
-
Yep, this will actually one up the Yamato/Arcadia, definitely getting this one. If they're doing this, the Elint and Super O are pretty sure bets as well. This also opens up the possibility of them making a Virgin Road, I guess we'll see.
-
FRAK!!! I was hoping I was going to be done with the TV Roy 1S, but they just had to make the one valk other than a Low Vis or Stealth variant that I wouldn't be able to say "No" to...damn it.
-
Correct. That's why I will be looking into getting just the regular missile set for it, assuming my preorder comes through.
-
As long as I get my Roy VF-1S, I'm good. Of course, I'll have to see about getting a missile set for it, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
