SHMOGUN Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Awesome Graham-If theres anyone that would figure it out, it be you. Overdrive is processing mine. Can't wait, but waiting. Quote
crasis Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 What a relief! Graham, you just made my week!!! Now I'm very happy that OverDrive is processing my order today! Max TV 1A, Max 1S and VF-11B...all in one box. My front porch may explode from the sheer awesome contained within. Quote
SuperHobo Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Excuse me if I may Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Quote
Birdman Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Huge thanks, Graham! Mine's on the way from HLJ. Quote
Dobber Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I don't know either, but HLJ shipped mine yesterday via EMS. I should get it by Monday at the latest. I paid for mine wiht them 2 days ago, and still haven't gotten the shipping notice yet! That's the one thing about HLJ I don't like...sometimes they take a while to ship after you pay. Hopefully it won't be delayed due to Golden week. Dang, I was hoping the panic would continue for a while longer because I had almost bottled enough to power my home for a whole year. I could just tap into the swine flu panic but that kind of terror-sweat is a little too high-test. Good for dissolving glue, but too volitile to power every day appliances. LOL! We should get you a Job with Sully and Mike at Monsters Inc. Chris Quote
wolfx Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Panic Over. w00ts. Thanks for confirmation, Graham Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Overdrive is processing my order too Quote
transfan52 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 That's good to hear. I'll probably pick one up later this year... Too many releases this year and I only have so much to spend. Quote
Jasonc Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Graham or Alex, can you tell us if the foam is needed in the cockpit as cushion, or is it part of the packing? Now that the bottom portion of the shield is working, I'm wondering if those foam pieces need to be put back in. Quote
kanedaestes Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Graham said no, he did it without the foam there. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 What in the hell is Golden Week? I just ordered a boatload of shiggity from Over Drive. Maybe that explains why my order status is still pending... Wiki is your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan) Oh and OD is processing my toy as well. MacPlus triumvirate almost complete! Quote
MacrossMan Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wiki is your friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week_(Japan) Oh and OD is processing my toy as well. MacPlus triumvirate almost complete! Thanks for the info Dangard Ace. I Googled Golden Week this morning before I left work after posting the question. I'll check my account with OD later this evening. Hopefully it will finish processing. Just good to know that it appears they have not shut down for the week long holiday. Quote
Sluff Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I got my tracking info from HLJ and it shows it has left Tokyo at 0420 AM. Any one guess when it would arrive in Texas? Quote
Cent Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 HA! I knew it! my good faith tides me over! Props to everyone else who said this was too dumb to be like Yamato =P Anyway, no QC issues, no foam, sturdy heatshield locking, firm joints, first release.................. Oh my God, they did it! Time to order Quote
Jasonc Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Graham said no, he did it without the foam there. That I got, but is that foam necessary for some other purpose? Quote
OmegaD3k Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Great, great news! Are there any pegs, or indications that may suggest armored packs for the VF-11, in the future? Seeing how Yamato has the M7 license... *crosses fingers for armored VF-11* Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 VERY glad to hear that the detent is there and that the shield works properly. The tailfins don't look so bad. I'd like to see more pics with those fins out, in super mode, canon be damned, I like the VF-11B with FAST packs on AND tailfins out. If the VFX-2 scheme is planned, and the skull emblems/designs can fit well on the fins, I may consider picking it up. Quote
Kicker773 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Now that the VF11 is out let the Armour requesting begin!!!! Quote

Dobber Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I got my tracking info from HLJ and it shows it has left Tokyo at 0420 AM. Any one guess when it would arrive in Texas? When did your payment go through with them? I paid on Tues. got the Thank you message from them...and it still hasn't shipped. Argg! I'm impatient!! Chris Quote
m0n5t3r Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 great! "look 'ma!... no foam!" - Graham's pic Thanks Graham and Yamato! Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Was the VFX-2 version in that BAD ASS color scheme ever shown with FAST packs? I'm trying to determine how much a VF-11B would cost without those things. Quote
Sluff Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Hey Dobber they processed my payment on Tuesday. But I had a large order placed, not just the VF-11, I also had my Max's, that Valkyries book, the VF-25 Alto and some stands and armor packs so most of those were waiting to ship maybe thats why mine was processed so quick Quote
firmpulse Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I got my tracking info from HLJ and it shows it has left Tokyo at 0420 AM. Any one guess when it would arrive in Texas? after items ship from hlj i receive them within two days (relative because tokyo central time is more that twelve hours ahead of the central u.s. time zone. time travel is awesome.). my vf-11b shipped april 30th on the japanese calender. i will probably have it by saturday. once your package reaches the inward office of exchange in jfk you're golden. hope that helps. Quote
Sluff Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wow they go all the way to JFK? I live on the end of a runway at DFW and I see the JAL Cargo freighter 747s all the time, I was hoping it would be on one of them that would rock Quote
kanedaestes Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 That I got, but is that foam necessary for some other purpose? Believe it is just for transport to keep it secure. Seems like it is unnecessary really with actual use. Quote
Dobber Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hey Dobber they processed my payment on Tuesday. But I had a large order placed, not just the VF-11, I also had my Max's, that Valkyries book, the VF-25 Alto and some stands and armor packs so most of those were waiting to ship maybe thats why mine was processed so quick My shipment will have the VF-11 the Max 1S and 4 of the new Yamato stands, so it's a pretty big order too. Hopefully it will ship before the weekend. Thanks though. Chris Quote
Nani?! Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 GREAT NEWS. Nice. Thanks Graham. Just ordered mine. Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Was the VFX-2 version in that BAD ASS color scheme ever shown with FAST packs? I'm trying to determine how much a VF-11B would cost without those things. well the VF-22 which lacks the stand and Fast packs of the YF-21 is 3,000 yen less and it has some new tooling. a VFX-2 11 would probebly be about the same, I'd seriously consider getting one, the VFX2 scheme is so much better looking and I don't like the fast packs anyways. (course there's a LOT of Yamato coming out that might be more worth it) Quote
eugimon Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 swwwweeet... OD coming through with vf-1d, tv max vf-1a and vf-11.... can't wait. Quote
Graham Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Confirmed by email from Yamato. The foam is just for shipping, please take it out for play. Quote
nugundamII Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains. Im waiting for Version 3 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Gyah! Want pics WITHOUT FAST packs! (fighter and battroid) Quote
Graham Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Gyah! Want pics WITHOUT FAST packs! (fighter and battroid) Will try to take some tonight, but won't be home for another 7 hours. Quote
