Worked for me.

Okini also shipped mine via DHL. I only paid for EMS, so I have to say that was great customer service!
-
Cool, thanks. I ordered from Okiniland anyway. Couldn't help myself.

Also at NIN NIN Game: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-hobbies-toys-game-character/36510-dx-chogokin-macross-movie-version-vf-1a-valkyrie-hayao-kakizaki-use-limited-edition.html Seems to be a Tamashi Web Exclusive, according to NIN-NIN Game. Are there any other sites that would carry this? Maybe Nippon Yasan?

Unless I missed something, it looks like the DYRL Kakizaki, Hikaru, and Max Super VF-1A are shown on this page: https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1214619.html I like the red stripe around the head lasers. Looking forward to these.

I just wanted to chime in here too. Many kudos to you Shizuka the Cat! Your links during the VF-1J pre-order last year were the reason I was able to snag one, and this round was very helpful as well. Thanks!
-
I struck out this time. Ami Ami pre-order button appeared a couple of times, but it didn't work. I had it in the cart at HLJ, but it showed an Order Stop after processing PayPal.
-
My favorite valkyrie too. This looks amazing! Also, it looks like it will actually be fun to transform, almost toy-like (if that makes sense). I'm looking forward to this!
-
Exactly. There's no way to tell until we actually see a transformation video (of the final product).

Got 1 at Ami Ami. Going back to bed.

If Arcadia re-issued your valk: What improvements would you recommend
Sturmvogel replied to w8kbrder's topic in Toys
For the VF-1, make the color gray (or maybe off-white, like in the Yamato days). At least don't make them pinkish. Lower the price. Diecast shoulders and hip joints in the VF-1 would be nice. -
Same here, the foot thruster fell off my Arcadia Roy VF-1S when transforming it last week. No problem, it slid right back into place (i'll glue it back at some point.) In Arcadia's defense, I was probably trying to open the foot one too many clicks, so I'm just glad it didn't break.

Try the Tamiya thin liquid cement (it's about $5 at hobby stores), it fuses the plastic together nicely (it's ether PVC or ABS, not sure which). It melts the plastic a little at first, you'll need small tools like a tweezers or small needle nosed pliers to place the parts directly after applying the glue, otherwise you can smudge the plastic permanently if you get a finder print on it. I'm not sure Shapeways will work on this, the parts are very small.
-
Earlier in the thread someone said that they contacted the guy and he said negotiations broke down and he wasn't selling the parts. As a side note, I repaired my NUNS triangle with Tamiya extra thin cement. So far so good, although I only had a crack and a small piece broken from it...
-
Thanks, I think I see it now. I've been afraid to transform it until I loosened the screw first. Now if I can only do step 2 without breaking the leg off!
