m0n5t3r Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 just paid for my TV 1A Max... local currency bounced back a little against the Yen. it's now showing "Low Stock" and a few others are on backorder status... guess this sale is pretty hot! Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I have been cursed with a YF-19 problem. The previous two times I have purchased the sales have fallen through. Perhaps a blessing in disguise because this time is the cheapest yet with the new HLJ sale! here's to hoping I have a new package renewal YF-19 soon! Quote
Uxi Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 They wouldn't have been nearly as slick. But I really think they shouldn't as be. They should be about the same dimensions as a YF-21 with belly plates... maybe a bit smoother. Oh well, water under the bridge. My Gamlin is still my single most favorite valk. Quote

charger69 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 @Agent-GHQ Man! Please tell me that you have enough shelf space to display them correctly, otherwise it's a blasphemy to keep them in the box!! Quote

Loop Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 So I got bored tonight and decided I would take out my 1/48 VF-1S Roy that I got on my first order from the sale. Upon transforming it to Battroid mode I notice something is missing........ Sorry, had to use my phone as my camera battery was dead I wish Yamato would up the QC process. I never even knew the verniers on the arms were seperate parts until tonight I am going to contact HLJ and see if they can help me. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 That's quite an order. What do you figure shipping will come out to? ¥10,244 Quote
pud333 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) ¥10,244 Epic. Just epic. It would be awesome if you could post a picture here of your total order once you get it with a health warning indicating heart attack upon viewing may occur. Edited December 10, 2010 by pud333 Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Hah... I think I'm already immune to this potential heart attack from bulk orders. But I shall definitely post some pics upon arrival. Quote
KiriK Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 just got my pile of loot in the office!! haha... my coworkers made me open up the huge box and i showed them the 1/1 scale Roy helmet i got. It's pretty frickin sweeet Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Picked up my box last night, and I have to say I'm much more impressed with Yamato's 1/60 run than with the 1/48. Fiddled with my Max and Kaki 1As a little, and they're just as tight and solid as the first ones I got. Joint tightness on these seemed to lessen a little around the time the VF-1D and Max TV 1A were released, but that may be due to different types of plastic being used. Actually it's kind of funny... I almost preferred that run of slightly loose jointed ones, because I could actually get the landing gear down without any tools. Also, happy to confirm, these DYRL strike pack issues of the 1As do have the new nose hatch design, and non-coated canopy, and I checked the shoulders just in case, but no trouble there. As for the missing arm thruster, that sucks, but fortunately it's a very small and easy to replace bit. In fact, with Hasegawa making 1/48 kits now, you might actually be able to use something from those kits to fix it. Edited December 10, 2010 by Chronocidal Quote

Nice. Though personally I enjoyed the coated canopies. Can't wait to get mine. Just checked the shipping notice with HLJ and it looks like they sent my two 1A's through EMS, and my TV Roy via SAL. Huh? I picked SAL for everything. Ah well. Whatever. Edited December 10, 2010 by pud333 Quote

Just checked the shipping notice with HLJ and it looks like they sent my two 1A's through EMS, and my TV Roy via SAL. Huh? I picked SAL for everything. Ah well. Whatever. AFAIK, if an item reaches a certain size and price (approx. 200 USD and above, I think), HLJ will ship via trackable option (usually EMS) no matter what you choose. Apparently, it's to ensure that the item gets to you safely. BTW, it's great to know that the DYRL VF01A's are improved versions! Are the boxes different in any way? Quote

I don't know if I would call them different per se, since these are brand new issues. I got Max and Kakizaki strike bundles, which are both new releases, so the boxes are brand new styling. Style-wise, they look about the same as the TV Roy packaging. Quote

It'll be a while before I can afford to pick them up (just bought a Ghost Booster and Macross display stand, on top of the YF-19 renewal package and TV Kakizaki), but it's good to know they're safe to buy.

Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 I think I am in for a VF-0 and want to know whether to get the S or the A? They are both reissues I gather. The A is not a Shin type right? Does the shin type really have any more differences other then a red helmet and white lines on the plane? Any other Tampo as compared to the regular vf-0a? What looks more imposing on the shelf? They A appeals to me because it is cheaper at the moment, but perhaps the S has charms that I need to know about? please help me! thanks Quote

They A appeals to me because it is cheaper at the moment, but perhaps the S has charms that I need to know about? please help me! thanks Besides the added stripes, "pilot number" and different pilot fig for the Shin type, the VF-0A Shin and "Unknown Soldier"/CF had slightly different tones of gray: Basically, AFAIK, the two are identical design-wise. To date, only the VF-0S and VF-0A "Unknown Soldier"/CF have been reissued. BTW, there's currently no news or even rumor of a reissue/renewal package for the Shin type, and the latest available one (the one that comes with the Ghost Booster) has received less than favorable reviews from Scorched Earth. As for the -0S, I guess its most obvious charm is the fact that it was piloted by a young Roy Focker. Quote
dreadnought Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Up till now I have been collecting yamato 1/48's VF-1's. I allready oredered a reissue packaging 1/48 VF-1S from HLJ last week. Now I'm looking for a more exotic 1/60 yamato from macross plus or macross zero, which mold is the best quality wise? Quote

Now I'm looking for a more exotic 1/60 yamato from macross plus or macross zero, which mold is the best quality wise? Hey when you get your renewal version, can you leave a comment on quality? Mine is missing one of the vernier thrusters and when I pulled out of the box there was a massive gap on the left side where the body and the intake are supposed to come together and would not hold together properly and wants to pop apart. I like the YF-21/VF-22S. If looking for something from the Zero line try the VF-0S re issue. I have the old issue VF-0A/VF-0S with ghost booster combos so I am not sure how the QC is on the new VF-0x's Edited December 13, 2010 by Loop Quote

ron5864 Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Darn it...looks like the item I want is not on sale, the 1/60 Yamato Regult kit. Quote
mechaninac Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 FedEx estimated delivery date: 12/14/2010 Actual delivery on 12/13/2010... sweeeet! Officially joined the 1/60 V2 owner's ranks. First impressions are very favorable; the Vermillion Squadron looks great. These are very nice looking renditions of the venerable VF-1; but I must admit that the 1/48's fighter mode appeals to me quite a bit more: the size, longer nose, and somewhat sleeker proportions - despite the lower-hanging stowed arms. If it hadn't been for the 40% off on these and the 1/2 price shipping I would not have gotten them; as it is though, I'm quite happy to have made the purchase... problem is that now I'll just have to eventually get a Focker 1S, and a 1D, and CF,and a VT-1, and.... Ouch!... my wallet just kicked me... Quote
