pud333 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Not here in HK, they're still relatively easy to find in shops here. Graham Really? Cool.
David Hingtgen Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Not here in HK, they're still relatively easy to find in shops here. Seems hard to find in Japan, based on how few places in the US seem able to import them from there.
Kurisama Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Shipping paid and... IT'S AWAAAAY! Pew pew pew pew!

Got the VF-25F last year from them - no worries at all! 3200yen for EMS tho, meh - it's not too bad. I got in while it was (both VF-25's) still 11200yen, which is about $140AUD for me.

Lolicon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 HLJ is notoriously slow at processing and shipping orders.
pud333 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The 30th anniversary sticker is a very nice touch. This is going to be awesome!
Mechapilot77 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 HLJ is notoriously slow at processing and shipping orders. honestly no been my experience. no one is faster than amiami though.
Negotiator Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Haven't heard from amiami yet and they're usually first.
boyarque Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I ordered through amiami too and still no invoice....nvm, I can wait . And I agree, the 30th Anniversary logo is a nice touch, shows that Bandai gives the effort to please loyal Macross fans. I can imagine myself, many years down the road, looking at the box and rejoice in the memories...
GU-11 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I'll say this much; Bandai certainly puts more effort into its box art than Yamato.
Murphy Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Wow, I thought that the 30th anniversary logo was fan made because I saw it first on the MW main page. Pretty cool. Is the vf-25s just comming with the ranka figure that sits in the back seat? I hope they include a mini-ex gear ozma with a wings extended! So I can put it next to the mini alto.

Graham Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I still miss the days of painted box art by artists like Yuji Kaida and Yoshiyuki Takani Oh, yeah, I still don't get what exactly people were complaining about regarding the paint scheme of the Ozma VF-25S. can somebody eleborate please? I'm going hunting for it later today, so when/if I get it, I'll post some pics so those people who where worried about the paint scheme can see if the actual production toy is correct or not. Graham
Chronocidal Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 The early pics showed the paint matching pretty badly as I recall. Probably partly due to the lighting used, but I do remember some people saying that the shades of gray used weren't put in the right places. As for the 30th anniversary logo... anyone else find it funny that we're getting that on a toy from the series that celebrated the 25th anniversary?
VF5SS Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 It's better than all the constant re-issues of out-of-date model kits for each anniversary.
David Hingtgen Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Box art colors don't match the earlier pics of the actual toy. Wonder if the final productions colors are different, or the box printing is just off. Anyways, here's my issues with the colors (of what we saw earlier) and why I cancelled: 1. Mis-match. The painted parts and the molded parts of the lighter, belly grey don't match. 2. Hue. The lighter grey, both painted and molded, is way too blue. Reminds me of toothpaste/mint. 3. Contrast. The lighter grey isn't nearly light enough. Ozma's valk should be 2 very different shades of grey. The toy is like 2 barely different shades of grey. The contrast should be obvious, not subtle. All of the above also plays into how it'll look with full armor--which is mostly grey. It ends up looking kinda like one boring blue-grey mecha overall, when it should have contrast between the valk's warm light grey, warm medium grey, and the armor's cool grey.
Reïvaj Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Sometimes I think Bandai don’t care very much about line art colour accuracy. Have a look at the DX YF-29 and its Super Parts. Not a big deal to me though.
valid Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 yeah talking about anime acurate,, did the anime show a black canonpod .. because i saw a black canonpod in the box art
Reïvaj Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) yeah talking about anime acurate,, did the anime show a black canonpod .. because i saw a black canonpod in the box art Good point. It didn't AFAIK. Source: http://www.macross2....ossf/vf-25s.htm Edited January 13, 2012 by Reïvaj
