This is a children's movie. Disney should leave any overt characterization of a character's non-traditional sexuality out of it; subtly imply it if they must so that adults get it, but stop with the in-you-face 'Heather has Two Mommies' agenda pushing nonsense. Is keeping sexualization out of kid's programming too much to ask?...

.... and lots and lots of tape. Got my copy fro N-Y today as well; 10 days total transit time via SAL. Checked everything out and no missing parts or defects; the only thing I had to address was a loose (pulls out too easily) right hip ball socket cylinder-- just added a bit of nail polish and it's good to go.

I refer to that backpack flap as a Thrust Deflection Plate...

"A lot more details", he says... That's got to be the understatement of the day. This SDF-1, once completed, deserves to be displayed prominently in a museum.

Well I'll be a monkey's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, my YF-30 also has SWS on its left canard/shoulder panel...

Amiami frowns upon cancellation requests, but it's not impossible if you ask nicely and/or make a compelling case. The thing with a back-order, though, is that it pretty much works the same as a pre-order -- you won't be charged until they have the item ready to ship. If you scroll down on the item's page you will see the following: About Back-order Items This item is back-ordered from the wholesaler and will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks before it is ready to be shipped. Please understand that in some rare cases we may not be able to source your item if it is sold out at our distributors.

Amiami has it listed as a Back-order item and at the regular "16%" discount (31,200 JPY), which means you can place an order and see if they'll be able to fulfill it.

That head looks goofier and far less appealing in physical form than it does in its anime appearance... odd.

TV Fast Packs VS DYRL? Fast Packs VS DYRL? Strike Packs

Got 1 from HLJ (6120 Yen, same as CDJ) due to their usually better shipping rates-- just need 1... no intention to army build, but if Hobbysearch (5780 Yen) gets more preorder stock I may get anther. That was remarkably easy.

That tooling is too old and too outdated, and we don't even know if Arcadia acquired them from Yamato... I'm almost positive they did not. Arcadia will need to develop a whole new Sv-51, just as they did with the VF-0s, if they have any intention of capitalizing/expanding on their M0 license and Bandai's eventual Sv-262 DX offering.

To the best of my knowledge, the USA does not charge import/customs fees... at least I've never encountered it, no matter how large the box or how high the declared value on the shipping label, whether if by SAL, EMS, or FedEx.

You'll have to take my word for it... no camera

To this day, my favorite Valkyrie toy, the one I would save over all others if came down to it, is my Yamato 1/48 VF-1A Low Visibility (grey) Color Limited Edition.

N-Y have finally gotten around to me to "ask" -- how can it be asking if they're holding my item hostage pending remuneration of additional funds? -- for an extra $8.00 for shipping with their sheepish "Unfortunately this order is bigger then expected..." BS; like I've mentioned before, CDJ would've honored their initial shipping charge and eaten the difference. But... Tamashii Web Exclusive, so very few alternatives. At least I should be getting it, eventually.

If all the wingtips do is rotate 90o up from horizontal, the best solution would be some type of lock -- pull out to unlock, rotate up, push in to lock, for example.

Since you mentioned, I went ahead and checked my PayPal account just in case, and... butkus. Come the end of Monday EST, if I haven't received any communication, I'll have to contact them to see what's up. If things get ugly I can always dispute the charge via Paypal on the grounds of "item not delivered".

My preorder, placed early on to secure a stand and optioned for Registered SAL, is still listed as preparation in progress; the email notifying me of this status was received on the 19th. I'll wait until Monday before contacting them regarding it, but so far, the whole situation is very confusing with some of you guys stating that N-Y misquoted shipping and are now demanding additional money via messages that have not gone through in as much of 50% of the cases -- with them assuming they did without following up despite having been made aware of the snafu (I recall one occasion when CDJapan undercharged on shipping for one of my preorders because their estimate was based off erroneous data, but they honored their original charge without ever asking for additional funds or making a fuss), or others saying that they claim to having received insufficient stock from whatever supplier they use to cover all the orders they've accepted, or both... All I know is that I ordered early enough to qualify for the bonus stand, selected a shipping method they offered, chose pay later as that was allowed at the time, paid in full when asked after they changed their exclusive items preoder policy, received the Preparation email, and then chirping crickets. I expect, nay, demand, to get what I ordered and paid for in good faith.

Evolution Toy - VF-2SS Valkyrie I 《MACROSS II ~LOVERS AGAIN~
mechaninac replied to joppewo's topic in Toys
Got mine yesterday... over two weeks sooner than I expected since I went with the SAL option. I can honestly say that every last bit of criticism and ire leveled at this toy is richly deserved. I'm glad I let my full price pre-order slip and got it at almost 1/2 off, just to satisfy my curiosity; otherwise, I would've been furious. Fighter mode not only looks disgracefully bad from all but a few angles -- a shame since the VF-2SS has such a striking fighter design, it's gappy and won't hold together at all... it's just pathetic; and although battroid looks decent enough, I've been cursed with a loosey-goossey right ankle. Evolution Toys, you guys have failed on an epic scale... I suggest your entire design, engineering, and QC staff commit seppuku as a form of atonement. -
Ditto!

Wriggles fingers to perform a bit of thread necromancy... I found this image online and thought this was the most appropriate place to share; the artist is byeontae_jagga (http://blog.naver.com/rulldis/220685610456). Enjoy! Edit: Replaced with larger image
