  1. 1. If you lived in Japan would you pre-order a VF-4?

    • I would pre-order but I'm not sure I can afford it.
      82
    • Yes I would pre-order, but I would only buy it if it was under $300 (about 24000円).
      164
    • I would pre-order it and buy it at any price.
      82
    • I would pre-order it just to bump the numbers, but won't actually buy it.

It would've veen far better to place the Lightning III at a an angle, maybe 45%, which would still leave plenty of space for the meager tidbits, and likely allow the box to be more compact, and possibly less expensive to ship too.

But a T-shape takes up more space at an angle and don't forget the VF-4 has very long ventral fins and its upper canards that have to be packaged with care. It's not nearly as compact as a VF-25 or VF-171.

HLJ had already charged me for the VF-4 and place the item into private warehouse, then they send me an email notice, I guess now they will charge me for the shipping. I rather make one payment instead of two.

Then I just paid for the VF-17D w/Super too, now I can't afford to buy anything else. :unsure:

Great to here as anybody got anything from NY yet?

I believe they don't send payment requests any more and you should've sent payment before the 24th. Hurry up and check it up!

I'm glad they separated the skulls from the black tailfin markings. I think I rather paint the black stripes in. Nice that they also added the 101. Now all we need is a more accurate FB pilot.

Woo, just got charged at HLJ, and sent to my warehouse :D

Now, it gets to sit there for a while and hang out with my sale VF-19F, fire valk, and sound booster, until I get back to my apartment in january :p

This is going to be one huge freakin mess of yamato boxes littering my apartment... I just need to hear if AmiAmi is shipping my VF-19P and super VF-17D...

I got an e-mail @ 12:32am stating: [Nippon-Yasan.Com] Preparation in progress.. The wait begins again :D

*Edit*

The notice for preparation was actually my VF-171 Armor parts.....

True, but the SV-51 was packaged at 45o and that too was rear biased -- granted that not as much as the VF-4G, and the wings on the 4 can pivot at the nacelles' roots which would allow more room. However, my nit-picking is entirely academic at this point... the box arrangement is what it is.

I've got to check my email for a payment request from HLJ; I'd love to be able to pay after the New Year as I've just paid for the VF-171EX's Armor Parts, and still have preorder commitments for a Revoltech Iron Man Mk.5 and 1/100 Rex kit vying for my cash. :wacko:

Edit: Gack! Got the payment request...3 days to pay. What an expensive year 2012 has been... :blink:

I think they all meant stickers sadly....BUT if they are waterslides you and I and a few others will be beside ourselves while everybody else will be screaming "no stickers, WTF!!" :rolleyes:

The wings need to be level so they don't get damaged in case the box is banged up.
