    Awesome got one! Thanks for the post! I think this is the first time i've ever been on the forum at the right time.

    I just noticed he's got the Vf-4 on a gundam action base with the adapter piece EXO made. Looks decent.

    This is kinda hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Nippon Yassen is selling the first release at scalper prices while at the same time offering (for a while) a preorder of the reissue at regular price.

    It's funny how those yf-21\vf-22 gun pods actually work for the vf-4.

    How did people know that the 171 preorder was last night? I was over in the yf-29 thread keeping an eye cause someone gave a heads up it was going for that preorder. I totally missed the 171 preorder as i didn't see any mention of it prior. How about the RVF-25? When is that preorder going up? I would've though that would've been up as well? Anyway if it's anything like the alto 171, there will be lots floating around after release for a somewhat reasonable price. Though if i remember correctly, most people really wanted the cannon fodder instead. Maybe be they'll be harder to come by? I can see people selling their alto vf-171ex now that the cannon fodder is out.

    I wonder if there is a slight delay between the japanese and english version of the page. Even if it's just seconds, the stock could be depleted before anyone on the english site has a chance to purchase. Probably off base but maybe true if no one here got one?

    Out of curiosity did anyone get one?
  8. Sandman
    Nevermind.

    I think Veef removed the bigger size since it wasn't necessary anymore.

    My mistake. Must of been remembering the discounted preorder price.
  11. Sandman
    Price listed seems to indicate that but like you i'll wait and see. What other forum are you referring to?

    By some crazy fluke today i noticed that Aoshima's Arcadia is being re-released in March. Here's the link: http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS09706 This is awesome news since I've been trying to get one for a few years for a reasonable price. I've been trying to hunt down news about this re-release but can't seem to find anything. I'm hoping they release the blue version as well. Anyone in the know?

    Wow i thought it was bad over here in the middle of BC at -15 to -18 this week.

    . Jeez...you have bad luck with Yamato valks. I remember buying the vf-11b and breaking the leg off a few minutes after opening it. Shitty feeling.
  15. Sandman
    Panzar Dragoon Saga damn. I've wanted that game for over 10 years. Was never able to get my hands on it for a reasonable price.

    The movie had the English subs hard coded to the video image. the US DVD release looked like it was taken from the vhs masters. I'm guessing they probably either don't want to want to put any extra work into putting subs into this release. The ova dub was probably just added in as an afterthought and because it was easy enough to do with minimal effort. I'd be interested to know how good the audio of the dub is. It's probably just upmixed stereo audio.

    I'm all about saving money and buying yamato stuff at a discount but part of me wonders if we are shooting ourselves in the foot? If everyone decides to wait for yamato valks to go on sale and not buy them when they first come out, will this affect yamato continuing to release product? it's kinda sad that right now that we are rewarding Bandai (myself included) by buying their valks at preorder time because we're all afraid of not getting our hands on one. Meanwhile yamato is releasing enough product for most of us to get without camping out on websites at 2 in the morning (my time) but we reward them by waiting for sales (myself included). This year was my most expensive year ever in this hobby except maybe my first year collecting (2008) but this year was definately the most i spent on new just released product and not used stuff. This year i got the vf-25s, yf-29, vf-171ex, vf-25g, Vf-1a cavalier, Vt-1, VF-19s, vf-19f, vf-17s, vf-11b, vf-1j, vf-0a and a bunch of other valks i picked up at good hard to resist prices. Some of these were multiples as well. Looking back at the list i'm glad to see i preorder 3 yamato valks this year (vf-19f, Cavalier and VT-1). Will also get the VF-4G of course.

    Have you guys gotten a payment request from nippon yassen? They usually send one 2weeks before release. I havent seen one myself.
  19. Sandman
    I tried that and they didn't work at all. The yamato valkyries are too heavy and there's no good way to attach the stand to the valkyrie.

    UPS is the worst for that. When i ordered my set and i saw they were the shipping company i cursed to myself. Everything that i order that is shipped through UPS gets dinged with custom, brokerage, handling and any other fees they can think of. I once ordered cd for $15 and had to pay close to $60 in fees. Like WTF? Another time a friend send me some blank tapes of old Japanese shows he recorded. Customs considered them goods bought and charged me $27 per tape. Want makes it sting worse is that there is no one to call and complain or dispute these charges. It's either pay or not get your stuff. I use USPS whenever i can to avoid this. Not sure why it's so different but it hardly ever hits customs and they don't charge any of those extra bs fees that UPS does.

    I bought a set of five today. I already have 4 gundam stands. I'm hoping this is a great solution for the pricey yamato stand and paint removing flightpose stands. Not a moment too soon. I just noticed that my vf-171 just lost a tiny dot of paint from the flightpose stand it was resting on. I guess the bandai stuff is not safe as well.

    I always thought he was saying "it's the major" with horrible pronouncation.
  23. Sandman
    How are the subs on these japanese international releases?
  24. Sandman
    Can you pop it off and put it back on correctly? I could do that with the ver1 vf-25. Haven't looked on mine yet since it hasn't been delivered yet.
  25. Sandman
    You know i don't love the Vf-2SS like i use to since they made macross plus and on. I think the nose bugs me. If the nose was shaped more like a real fighter plane or other vfs i'd probably like it better.
