One thing I noticed from the compare pics - the screw holes on the bottom of the wings and wing engines are gone in the new version.

I have the strangest luck with NY. First I ordered 1 and they mailed me 2 VF-171 CF. Then today I got my VF-27 - box looks OK but inside it the two transparent tray were heavily compressed. Something heavy much have been sitting on top of my box in the ship. Fortunately nothing was broken, other than one super pack piece has some sort of thin transparent residue on it probably from the compression. Question - is the front of the crotch piece suppose to come off easily? Kind of make the gerwalk mode less stable.
-
Any one know how will the missile mounts attach to the wings? Clip on the edge? Magnet?

Yeah YF-21 stand let you put a YF-21 fighter in vertical climb pose safely, and this new one has a smaller base. I would love to buy a bunch of this new stand if they are compatible with our old Yamatos.
-
So I just did what I am not suppose to do - ordered a VF-25S armour pack at inflated price (14000 yen, mandarake) before getting the VF-25S. Thanks for posting the photos guys... There must be way more armour pack than the base unit floating out there. They better announce that reissue soon before those extremely inflated VF-25S become tempting.

Well I have a desktop browser open all day so I just run some browser add-on that auto check web pages and alert you if anything changed. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/update-scanner/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/alertbox/?src=search The chrome one is the best but the others work too.

I don't think you are suppose to rotate that joint all the way to 90 degree. On my samples they all have a clear "stop" at about 30 degree and I never pushed any further. For my own failure, see here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36479&p=1057930

Finally managed to get one. They (not just HLJ) should consider adding a waiting list/queue feature for this kind of stuff, so we don't need to run auto scanners that hit their site every couple minutes.

What I would actually buy: (old mold) VT-1 - and since it is a "new" company make this change: no helmet Hikaru and Misa pilot figures. VF-4 Flashback 2012 (new mold) VF-0D SDF-1 TV

It may be possible, I was transforming it without the manual open in front of me, only from memory.

TLDR: Be very careful with the chest hinge. You may remember a month ago I got two box of VF-171 from NY when I ordered a single one. They wanted the extra one back but I think I convinced them that paying $100 to sent it from Canada is not worth it for them. The 1st unit has that cracked shoulder piece that is quite common. I opened the the 2nd unit a month later and it looked fine. I transformed it once and it has stayed in B mode, and today I change it's pose for a bit and found one side that hinge above was broken off. The other side quickly broke off too when I try to see if it still transform properly. I don't think I had too much force on it to cause it to break, and I had transformed the EX many times already without problem. At least after swapping the shoulder I still got one good unit (for now). The broken one can still hold together in F mode and B mode reasonably well, while G mode needed some help from the stand adapter. Edit: oops this was meant for the CF thread, oh well.

Just saw the Hikaru VF-1S Strike version listed: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-000587
-
The adapter that came with the armour pack has the extra 3rd pair of plugs, plus a pair of brackets at the tail end.
-
You mean this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/281124794761 I guess 700 is reasonable for this.
-
That post also links to Bandai's own site. It's real. http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201310/
-
One thing to consider if you want multiple: unlike the VF-171 CF, this one has "027" number markings.
-
It don't need to be expensive if they can reuse most of the mold for the VF-19 Kai. I hope they fix the fighter mode stand adapter this time - too insecure on the VF-19.

You can count on Hobby Search providing high-res pic. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10221370 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10221370p/10/1 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10221376 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10221376p/10/1 The new finished item pics also fixed the scrips on nose, arms, chest and wings. I will wait for the instruction scan from them before making final judgment. The fast/strike back pack is still smaller and put further back then the other toys.
-
Huh? So how much of these complicated stuff are painted on?
-
It need the strike pack for me to bait. The back side is just too empty compare to the rest. Is it suppose to have any marking on the vertical ail fins?
-
Bought mine from Amiami about a month post-release with their regular discount plus a 10% bonus point promotion, so it was not very popular like the Bandai releases.

The super part back pack pieces are sitting one full head length lower/after than how it has been done in all other toys and models. But it should be relatively simple to fix. -
