anybody got the dimensions of the box from amiami? and the box for the poster goes inside the bigger box w/ the Vf-27 in it, right?

cool, thanks... the way he said it in his video review made it seem like it wasn't.

nice review... i didn't realize it until peaugh mentioned it, but is that "tail" of the VF-27 in battroid really not present in the anime? does the model kit have that "tail" or is it all removable as part of the shield?

did you try to insert the knurled pin in the much tighter holes of the inner piece/part of the 2-part hinge also?

oh yeah... and also forgot about "made in China" oh well, guess that's what KY jelly is for, so it won't hurt as much when you have no choice but to take it up the arse...

but isn't that what QC/QA is for?

well, i'm assuming it was smooth end first coz that's the obvious logical way to do it... the other way would be massively dumb! maybe some factory worker was thinking "head in first!!!" coz he was daydreaming that he was having... ...or if it were an all female assembly line, maybe they thought it was some di1do that went into the hole...

lubricate it w/ baby oil before pushing the pin out. ...and i don't believe that pushing it out stresses the plastic, in fact it relieves the stress coz after you take the pin out, some of the whitish stress marks disappear. what stresses out the plastic is the knurling that's bulging the plastic from inside the hole. but yeah, having knurled pins doesn't equate to a 100% chance of it breaking/cracking. it's all up to you if you want to do it or not.

it was by Konami. well, everybody was expecting a SOC GL... as for the scale, i hope it's 1/100... coz if it's 1/144 its only gonna be as tall or maybe a little taller than the revoltech GL.

on the scans it says "Composite Ver. Ka" only for the Albion and Gurren Lagann... whereas for the 0 Gundam right below, it clearly states it's part of the "G.F.F. Metal Composite" line and (the last scan states) that it'll be in 1/100 scale. http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthre...;extra=page%3D1

the VF Hi-Metal VF-1s could very possibly be cheaper than the VF-19, but expect the Super Parts, SSParts and/or GBP armor to be web exclusives.

so, i've been asking around and still haven't gotten anything.... what scale are these Lancelot Albion and Gurren Lagann GFF Composite ver. Ka figures at, 1/100 (like the metal composite) or 1/144 (like the normal GFFs/GFFNs)?

yeah, it will be sold to Japanese residents ONLY at that price, w/out the normal dist. discount that retailers usually get... so, good luck getting it for lower than 16800JPY x 130%... EDIT - my bad... the 50-100% mark-up is usually for smaller/cheaper items like the Robot Damashii exclusives. 30-40% would be about right for these more expensive figures like the DX VF-27... probably around $240-250 like the VF-25F Fold Clear ver. w/c retailed @ 1500JPY and is selling for $220-230.

well, amiami just restocked the Vf-27 w/ "plenty"...

LOL, that's one way of looking at it...

those are VF-25 Supers w/ the 3600 EMS s/h... bigger box... which leads back to the question - "why is the VF-27 priced the same as a VF-25 w/ Super Packs and stand?"

looks better, more mech-like... no more light blue.

LOL , ron5864 was the one who posted those pics of his "modified" GBP for his 1D!

i think this is a case of jacking up the price before putting in on 50% off sale... EMS from HLJ for the VF-27 is just 2800 JPY... and the box, at 36 x 27 x 8 cm is just a little taller than the Alto or Ozma standalone while the width and depth are just about the same.

any chance we could get a side by side pic of the 27 w/ the SV-51 Nora in fighter mode?

looks nice in fighter and gerwalk. looks like a brick in battroid ... also wondering about paint/tampo app. box size looks just about the same as the Alto or Ozma standalone (width & depth-wise) just a little taller (~5cm).

me too... on display: w/ some neighbors... :

awesome display, bluemax! love the extra 2nd level. gotta love fighter mode!

i want one too... and yeah, in light gray. the bright white seems more prone to yellowing w/c will be accentuated by Focker's yellow stripes. man, all this Fuocker talk...
