After your comments I went to test fit some other stuff, It seems that the lik drakens and the missles mountings from the VF-19 will not fit on the mountings where the boosters go but they fit on the hardpoints under the wing of the AX, weird, then I tried the 3rd party 3 missle mount and single missle mount that were made from the molds of the EX-171 missles and those have no problems fitting while the others from the same set like the huge MDE, reaction missle and missle pods could not fit. But from what I see, the booster might fit the underside hardpoints abeit loose as the hardpoints on the wing fold seem too small for those I mentioned that could not fit.

Seeing how the AX super boosters attach to the wing, I think I can put them on the underside hardpoints of a regular VF-31 with supers on and make a 4 booster version, I ‘ll call it a VF-31 super super, haha

Hi Guy s, thanks for all the info on shaving/filing the wing pegs. I have one question before I do the same for mine, which side of the pegs are you guys shaving/filing? (In fighter mode, the side facing up or down?) We will need to fix those wing pegs when the super parts come out for these toys, I read how they were attaching to the wings and can confirm there is a hard point holes where the wing folds. If the wings are not secured at the pegs it will cause all sort of problems with the added weight at the extremities of those wings. On a better note, I do love the new cockpit, I didnt realised that they changed the design of it and the pilot now sits not so close to the front of the cockpit. Also the design has changed to a one piece ‘glass’ instead of a 2 piece one. Did they also removed the 2nd seat on it or maybe I missed something and can’t access it.

Just got mine, my thoughts is that for some reason, my copy feels less solid when in fighter mode compared to the VF-31A, the stubs on the wings don’t seem to fit well into the holes in the legs that its supposed to peg into, maybe it was not transformed properly from thr factoy. Now onto what I like, I never noticed that they changed the cockpit to one piece in the promo shots, and I really like that, also they moved the pilot seat back now and it looks like it is the correct position compared to the VF-31A to S.

I totally missed PO date, thank goodness its a world wide release and my local shop claims to have stock to preorder, though in the past they have taken my deposit but could get me a YF-29 back in the day when the 2nd batch was released, they did refund my deposit in full though.

Too bad you can’t remove the missles except for those on the outer leg armour, aside from this, as this is my 1st VF-1 GBP this thing looks great

Mine from okinland arrived today…..man is she a beauty

That puts a whole new meaning of having your head up your a$$ in fighter mode.

Thanks guys for all the great answers, here is hoping they get it right one day.

A question to all 1D owners, is the canopy elongated compared to a standard vf-1, and also, if it’s elongated, is it elongated enough?

So, I guess that stand cost 2000yen.

Just realized that the AX is the same price as the new YF-29 that came with super parts, I wonder if there is something extra in it that justifies the price.

When I accidentally bought 2 extra sets of movie DX SSP for VF-1 and was selling it at cost here no one wanted to bite due to me residing in Singapore and that would make shipping cost too high to bear, in the end I sold them locally for a loss of $20 usd.

Honk

While I know xigfrid has one on shapeways to sell, the problem is its unpainted and not everyone is as talented as some of the members here to be able to paint and finish it to make it look somewhat passable to display them

Now I can’t unsee that… Maybe they should release a TWE pack of 5 for all 5 valks, that I will buy

Easy pass for me, I wish I could somehow just get the mission pod though

I just realised that p-bandai reopened their twe for the armoured packs for the VF-1J, when did this happened? Too bad My wife helped me source for one from Okinland which is a bit more than if I ordered thru a proxy to get this direct from p-bandai

The wife helped me secure one on okinland as she saw how upset I was about not getting one in PO, thus I am asking de to refund mine. Its a bit more expensive but I guess at least I got it

I used dejapan, I did have a correspondance with them and they are holding on to my payment in hopes that bandai will reopen the orders

My proxy just informed me that they did not order the twe parts in time, looks like I will either haveto join in the PO craziness for the bundle version or pay scalpers on release date, and to think this would be the last piece I wanted before slowing down collecting these high end toys. I wonder how likely is it that Bandai reopens another batch, I mean I thought the whole point of TWE is made to order, these days it seems that even TWEs can get sold out which is a joke, and defeats the purpose of it being TWE

I guess that confirms the missles do not detach from the armour

That is bad, although I made my order at my proxy before it was sold out, my proxy is still showing order in progress....there is a chance I might not have made it.

Well, DX Roy is still available for a small mark up compared to the 1J, I think it might be worse as 1J is definitely more popular than Roy in Japan so, we’ll see. On another note, am excited as this will be my 1st VF-1 GBP I have in my collection, always wanted one but was late to the party, now if only there will be an effects release like the ones I have seen for the HMR, that would be sweet

I think the owner of the website came here to post before, it was a few months back.
