[Silvestri]

I managed to get one in on order at HLJ when it was still available this morning. Thanks MW!

[Loop]

My notice of order preparation went out last night around 1am.

Shipping notice from HLJ received!!!

Looks like most of us state side will get it after New Years. I am pretty excited about it.

Hm, I thought I was getting fedex but it's just regular EMS or am I wrong for NY?

[skullmilitia]

Considering FedEx is down Sun, 1/2 Monday and Tuesday. Getting it Thursday is only 3 day shipping time.

Can't complain, especially before CNY and all that fun.

[jorawar_b]

I all, talk about being late to tge party..... Is the VF-4 done for good or will there come another round of orders? wow talk about missing the bus...

[xrentonx]

Ohgod. What have I done?! Just paid for a SECOND VF-4G through NY. I was totally gonna cancel that order but instead caved in and got me a second one. The first one was purchased through a proxy buyer who should be getting back to me the first week of Jan (or so).

Man am I glad I got a bonus in my paycheck this year

[troyness]

What are you talking about? Are you referring to the first plastic sample that Yamato showed some weeks ago?

A few pages back there was a sample VF-4G all in black with some guy handling it with white gloves, is that not another variant coming out later?

[IXTL]

No. That was a test shot.

[Hikuro]

latest plastic test shot, probably one of the final molds after corrections.

I believe that is the base color of the plastic before painting. Didn't someone confirm something to that effect?

[Loop]

I think Yamato molded the plastic in color as usual. Pretty sure that was a test shot.

Oh well, I guess that's my stealth dream dead lol.

Yamato must be thinking about another variant with the success of the VF-4G( I'd like to know the numbers sold)

Anyone care to guess what Yamato would legally be allowed to produce if they did another variant.

(and if it's not being too cheeky lineart to go with it)

Thanx guys.

So who brought that bootleg VF-1 on the right there :3

I'm quite sure that would be Gimlet. He's the life of the party every time they do one of these events (he made those Lego Destroids from a while back).

If this is so iconic from the Macross flashback 2012, then how come the color is incorrect!?

This is the Digital Mission VF-X version. There is no Battroid lineart for the FB2012 version.

[Reïvaj]

Oh well, I guess that's my stealth dream dead lol.

I'm afraid so. No stealth VF-19Kai either.

[Loop]

Honestly, I think they would be pretty ugly in the gloss finish. If they made a matte version though.... Too bad they would have to alter the molds.

[Dimis]

It has been such a long wait. This toy is awesome! Thanks Yamato!!!

Aaah, thank you. It does look more grey than shown before. Now i'm ready to welcome it. :-)

Is that the box of a 19P on the side?

[OzmaLee74]

Just shipped from NY! Now the wait begins.

[derex3592]

FedEx shipping update from HLJ says mine will be here 1/3/13 next Thursday. Guess that's not tooo bad for New Year's weekend and all.

It has been such a long wait. This toy is awesome! Thanks Yamato!!!

What's the transformation like, are the hinged wings nice and tight?

What's the length in fighter mode(cm)?

[Lightning]

Mine is on its way too!

[Valkyrie addict]

Shipping confirmation from NIppon-Yassan, woohoo!!

[Reïvaj]

B_A_T_ has uploaded more gerwalk mode pictures. Have you seen these?

[UN Spacy]

YES! BAT answered the one question that's been on my mind.

[Froy]

Wow gundpod attachment! Good I have a spare gunpod to display along with the VF-4.

[eugimon]

Ha, was right about that port!

[Lightning]

Never understood why people feel that the thing needs a gunpod. It's got cannons.

[charger69]

I asked BAT to join MW

[Dobber]

I can't remember, does someone sell after market gun pods from shape ways or something. I only have one and it is being used on my canon fodder VF-1

[Hikuro]

I've got a spare gun pod from a kit I f up on during the summer. I gotta say very very cool to know we got an attachment!

Mine shipped bout 1 this morning, no eta ill suspect after New Years too.

Yes, got the 19P and the 17 super pack as well. It is a bit more grey than I thought it would be, but still light enough to modify to FB2012 scheme. Only complain is that missles keeps poping off, and the hands are a bit small. Easy fix though.

Hinges on the wings are tight. The toy is easy to transform and very solid. Very much like the vf-19. don't have a ruler, but estimate it to be same length as the yf-21

For those still looking for one in HK, there are still a few at alpha toys at richmond shopping center at MK.

....now I wanna try to collect one of each again. You've killed my wallet.

[M'Kyuun]

Got shipping notices from both NY and HLJ yesterday. So, next Thursday I should have 2 VF-4's and a VF-17D with Fast Packs on my doorstep. Can't wait. Heck, I'm still basking in the glory of my VF-27G Renewal...just an awesome figure.

Fortunately, my wife takes no issue with my valk habit, as I usually only acquire one or two in a year's time. This particular order constitutes the most valks I've ever ordered within such a small space of time. I hope I hate the YF-30, b/c I don't think I can afford it, too.
