thegunny Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I got them from my local store two days ago!! We don't have a local store in Australia Quote
Sam Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 be nice if we did though! maybe one day.... Quote
Kicker773 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 didn't get my notice from HLJ about them yet, i did get my notice for the revoltech and estel blanch figures.. Quote
mister_e Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I haven't received a notice from HLJ yet either, and I placed my pre-order back in March. What gives? Should I be worried? Quote
Busted VF1A Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I haven't received a notice from HLJ yet either, and I placed my pre-order back in March. What gives? Should I be worried? No, not really. HLJ can be a little slow in sending out notices and shipping but they always fill pre-orders first. The're very reliable. I haven't recieved mine yet either but probably will by Monday at the latest (most likely sooner). Just so you know: if there are other items on the same order as your M&M's then they might not ship them until the other items are in stock. It all depends on wether you selected partial shipments when you ordered. Quote
vermillion01 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) DUH..SORRY WRONG THREAD....actually, come to think of it.. any first reports on these? Edited September 21, 2007 by vermillion01 Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) When logging into your HLJ account they should have a notice stating they're on vacation (for a japanese holiday) and will continue processing orders on the 25th when they return. ***EDIT*** I just requested hlj to send (process) any instock items seeing that the VF-1J M&M were on low stock. -=X Edited September 22, 2007 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote
ikhii Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I hope i can get mine soon. Couldn't wait to get my hands on these babies. For those who already got it in hand, do share some great photos or a bit of review on the item. Thanks. Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Box art: Out of the box config... The above was taken a few day back.... More pic to come after lunch.... Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 After panel lining and sticker application... Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Mr. and Mrs. Jenius!!! I am trying to replicate the Hasagawa box art..... Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Damn Swoosh!!! Those are some nice pics!!! Thanks for sharing! -=]****** Quote
eugimon Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 swoosh definitely takes some of the best pics here. Quote
Dante74 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 swoosh definitely takes some of the best pics here. Agreed! I was never too eager to get these but Swoosh's pics made me change my mind. Quote
Inspirit Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Agreed! I was never too eager to get these but Swoosh's pics made me change my mind. Wow the 1/48's look freakin awesome! Nice Pix! Quote
MasterOfPuppets Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Wow Swoosh those look amazing! What did you use to do the panel lines? And are those the regular Yamato stickers? Now that they aren't so scarce, I might be tempted to do some work on my M&Ms. Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Wow Swoosh those look amazing! What did you use to do the panel lines? And are those the regular Yamato stickers? Now that they aren't so scarce, I might be tempted to do some work on my M&Ms. Thanks MasterOfPuppets, I am lazy so I just use 0.3mm mechanical pencil to do the the panel lines, and those sticker are from takatoys.

ikhii Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) amazing birds. Now really really hope i can get mine asap. Envy you Swoosh. Edited September 22, 2007 by ikhii Quote
Kicker773 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 like someone said, if you already had preordered them i believe they fill your orders first before they mention anything low stock for the regular buyers. i'm also one of the few who preordered them. Quote
vermillion01 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Holy s:@t! nice pics Swoosh! Keerching... there goes my wallet again! EDIT - actually i vote u put those in the "strike a pose" gallery mate... thwey are really awsome shots. Edited September 22, 2007 by vermillion01 Quote
Golden Arms Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Excellent pics yet again Swoosh. What impresses me the most is the short amount of time that it took you to panel line and sticker two valks at seemingly the same time. Quote
kensei Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Those pics just affirm that the 1/48s are the best. THE BEST! Quote
Fly4victory Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) The Super VF-1J sets are great. I have the first release and wish I had the funds to get a second set just to steal the custom fastpacks. The Max VF-1S looks awsome with the Blue VF-1J fastpacks. Edit: I forgot about the extra hands and the TV figures. Its the little things that count. Edited September 22, 2007 by Fly4victory Quote
kanedaestes Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I have never been a big fan of milia's valk only because i like blue more than red but i be damned if they don't look oh so sexy together. I might need to pick hers up now. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 They look to be better painted and with better parts fit than the original release. Most notably the wing stripes, and the hatch/cover on the underside of the radome over where the swing bar latches in. Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Excellent pics yet again Swoosh. What impresses me the most is the short amount of time that it took you to panel line and sticker two valks at seemingly the same time. haha, the first few pics with box and FP were taken right after I bought them on Mon, and those with panel and sticker were 5 taken days later, it took me total around 10 hrs to do it... Quote
Golden Arms Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Not bad at all. Swoosh have you noticed any differences between this rerelease of M & M vs their original releases (if you have the originals)? On a separate note, is the SPEC movie Eva 01 out yet? Quote
Swoosh Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) I don't have the original release, so I can't compare... SPEC movie EVA 01 is out in HK, and accessories is coming soon... Edited September 22, 2007 by Swoosh Quote
Golden Arms Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I don't have the original release, so I can't compare... SPEC movie EVA 01 is out in HK, and accessories is coming soon... Awesome news. I haven't seen those pics before. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 So Swoosh... which one of those eva pics are yours? XD Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Very Nice Swoosh! But i will still not get these. Quote
Fatalist Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I really need to get those.....again. /sigh Quote
