Forgive me if it's been posted but where do I direct payment?

Thanks for the info. Was just wondering why it's those long pointy ones and not the smaller less conspicuously L shaped ones or a little one at the tip of the nose. Maybe because it's moves in 3 axis in different modes?

Haha, I know your pain if you're talking about the screw covers. That's why I stopped trying to pull it out. Too many scratches. BTW, is it glued on or just tight fitting. Thanks.

If you're talking about the thrusters LMK, you can have mine. I don't need them but I'm missing one.

Edit: Just seen the pics in the workshop thread. Good work around for the screw covers. I'm surprised one tip was that hard to come off.

Sorry if this was brought up before but I gotta ask: Why is there a pitot tube/probe antenna for the VF-0 in the first place? I thought only test versions of aircraft had them unless the whole VF-0 series was meant as to be used as test subjects for the VF-1s.

Hopefully shipment comes in today or I gotta wait till Wednesday.

That's pretty cool your wife has a collection too!

They don't ship FedEX but what I can pick those types do not allow me to place the package on HOLD at USPS or some other counter for pickup. FedEx I can reroute my package to a FedEX center for pickup later or a different day. As state above I guess NY is my only hope.

Like xrentox mentioned, EMS via USPS usually just leaves me a missed delivery note so I can pickup at the Post Office. Does package intercept work for international orders?

What was the price on HLJ?

17100yen

HLJ IS UP OMG

Thanks for the link!

And BOOM! it's done!

good luck!

Quick enough to not even bother trying. Think of it as a teaser for the masses. lol.

I think whoever spent the cash on the 1/2000 sdf-1 would buy a 1/60 monster.

Reposted pic for the peeps that didn't see it the last millionth time :

I would love to see a 1/60 monster up close. Yamato had a prototype 1/60 on display though there's only that one picture that's been shown. There was a member here that started on a 1/60 and was almost finished but didn't post the finished pics just the WIP. Then there is the 1/72 resin kit from mike here and the 1/72ish scale soft vinyl mentioned above by x-plus in the works.

For some reason I keep thinking the SV-51 was influenced by the F-18. Anyways, nice pickup Spanner!

How much is each company charging for EMS shipping for this toy?

Amiami charged me 6240 yen for 2.

Shout out again to Skullmilitia for a smooth transaction! Forgot I had this till it showed up the other day! Thanks again!

I am so pumped right now. hope the GF-2200D-A will fit on this bad boy

Good to hear about the shipping times for Amiami. Unfortunately the Ghosts doesn't fit on the 0D. The tailfins don't align and you'd have to find a slotted conformal tank to paint. The last set of pics on the last page from Anubis20 shows it mounted with a ghost. The tailfins are raised and the ghost is resting on the conformal tanks.

I guess the Ghosts wasn't meant to fit the VF-0D. Can't wait to get it in hand!

Being in space helps out with the whole heavier loads to the center issue too I guess.

The one up for auction is the 1/2000 scale SDF-1. Unless I've misunderstood something. Just using this price as reference.

Well...at least the VF-0S/A can be covered up by a potential armor release....that is unless they screw up the armor colors!!!

We're screwed.....

I say they just gonna reuse the VF-0D colors for the armor. Or to make peeps upset, the color scheme used in the one prior to the final colors photoshop.

Trying out a different configuration.

@davidwhangchoi, I know you'll notice the difference.

I think it looks better that way though you'd think heavier loads go more towards the center.

Not bad price considering it was 200000 yen when it came out. Now to see if I have $2100 laying around somewhere

edit: just reallized that's the starting bid. The BIN price is 400000 yen!

The seller came to their senses and split the items up.

is that just for a single one? I paid about ¥16,000 for EMS for my three..

Ouch! Here I thought my shipping was high. 6240 yen for two via Amiami. Maybe distance and zones play a factor.
