Vi-RS Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 anyone else notice the katakana under the blue 30th Anniversary text on the top right of the box says "option parts set"? maybe i m seeing things, but here's hoping it actually comes with them! Yes, that is what it says. Quote
caslon Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I've just sent an email to HLJ for further details...waiting for reply now! Quote
Loop Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) I would have preferred you said VF-84 Jolly Rogers, but VF-103 is ok too. I like the dark blue for this VF-1A, I'll definitely pick one up. Personally, I like the VF-84 Jolly Rogers myself, but I thought they were deactivated.. I just threw one out there as an example. anyone else notice the katakana under the blue 30th Anniversary text on the top right of the box says "option parts set"? maybe i m seeing things, but here's hoping it actually comes with them! I have a feeling that the option parts will come with any of the 30th anniversary releases. I hope Yamato does not stop adding the parts once the year is over. Edited July 28, 2012 by Loop Quote
troyness Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 option parts and cavaliers in the one sentence sounds sexy to me. If any owner has the urge to transform to battroid with option parts and take pics,don,t let anyone stop you,post until your lightheaded,then continue to post!! Quote
derex3592 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 No Payment Email for me from HLJ yet...maybe Monday. Quote
Rabidweezil Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 same here...nothing from HLJ for my Cavalier. And the DYRL VF-1A production is listed as "discountined" now. Hopefully that's just for any new orders and existing orders will get fullfilled. Last thing we need is Yamato taking lessons from Bandai! Quote

mechaninac Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I recall seeing a similar image before, clearly remember the Alaska base 1A on the right, but I just noticed the Browny 1D on the left... non-trainer 1D on the way, too? Edited July 29, 2012 by mechaninac Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I recall seeing a similar image before, clearly remember the Alaska base 1A on the right, but I just noticed the Browny 1D on the left... non-trainer 1D on the way, too? Those were seen in the Virgin Road episode, but it's just a painted example of the VF-1D's kit. Quote
mechaninac Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Oh, I know the unit is canon to the show (everytime I see that sequence I'm reminded of how lousy the animation was in that episode...), I just never thought I'd see that variant released, and it seems it's not going to be. Bummer on it being just a painted 1/60 assembly kit, but I suppose that the kits of the 1A, 1J, 1S, and 1D are a costomizers dream come true. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Don't forget, there also a second version of the VF-1D, shown only for a few seconds. It appears minutes before Max and Milia's grand entrance. Quote
caslon Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I've just got a response from HLJ by saying that my order has being processed now...Thanks god! Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I've just got a response from HLJ by saying that my order has being processed now...Thanks god! Do you have the dyrl CF-1A in preorder too? My CF-1A shows "discontinued", and I hope it's not case like the VF-1D is repeating now. I'm so close to hit the button now. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) My order of the CF DYRL? VF-1A shows discontinued too My VF-1A Cavaliers order is processing though. I'm waiting for another order of the cavaliers with ishop2go. Edited July 30, 2012 by Ignacio Ocamica Quote

ErikElvis Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah Im pretty sure the HLJ site is just messed up again. Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah Im pretty sure the HLJ site is just messed up again. Yeah, you are right. I just received a payment acknowledgement for the dyrl CF-1A and Cavaliers. My order of the CF DYRL? VF-1A shows discontinued too My VF-1A Cavaliers order is processing though. I'm waiting for another order of the cavaliers with ishop2go. I guess your CF DYRL will be processed too. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Got an email that says mine is reserved, but I think the HLJ website is messed up..can't log in or request password through email. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah, you are right. I just received a payment acknowledgement for the dyrl CF-1A and Cavaliers. I guess your CF DYRL will be processed too. Everything fine now!! Quote
Loop Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Yeah guys, sometime today I was billed and both the DYRL? CF VF-1A and the Cavaliers were moved to my private warehouse. They never even replied to my personal e-mail which is odd. They may have been put on blast if this happened to all of the customers who ordered. *Edit I just checked my paypal and it does not show a charge...... *Another Edit OK, so it turns out I had selected the PayPal merchant auth like usual. What actually happened was they charged my CC that was on file with them. The site is f*cked up still as far as I can tell. At least I got my valks , but they need to get their sh!t together!

Mechapilot77 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 this is a first....am i the first to get a cavalier? i can confirm there are no option parts no matter what the 30th anniversary label says at least not on mine. Quote
derex3592 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 sent an email to HLJ about my particular problem..something about Paypal not having my home address that matched the one they had or something...anyways...got a response less than 2 hrs later. Great customer service I must say..not sure what's going on with the whole Paypal payment option, but I'm sure it will get worked out...ready to get my Cavalier! Quote
Mommar Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 this is a first....am i the first to get a cavalier? i can confirm there are no option parts no matter what the 30th anniversary label says at least not on mine. Pics!!!! Quote
Renato Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 this is a first....am i the first to get a cavalier? i can confirm there are no option parts no matter what the 30th anniversary label says at least not on mine. I'm guessing the option parts only come with the ones sold at WF, then? Can I ask if the box you received actually has that "30th anniversary オプションパーツ付きSET (option parts included)" label on it? Quote

The pics of it posted on the MW front page don't seem to show the parts on the valk? Quote
usagiz Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Dynamite! invoice received from HKcollectibles! Now where are everyone else's pictures to drool over until mine arrives? (null) Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, really, where are everyone's pictures??? I'll have to wait 1/2 weeks until I get mine. Quote
eyesonme78 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 My cavalier will arrive on thursday! hopefully it comes with options parts =) Quote
Loop Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Where have you seen pics of the Cavaliers valk sporting the option parts? The pics of it posted on the MW front page don't seem to show the parts on the valk? There was a picture posted of the box, and it had the 30th anniversary band on the box. Quote
Vi-RS Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 There was a picture posted of the box, and it had the 30th anniversary band on the box. It's from Hobbysearch. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 The thing is that Mechapilot77 received his and he confirmed that despite having the 30th anniversary band on the box it came with no option parts. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing the option parts only come with the ones sold at WF, then? Can I ask if the box you received actually has that "30th anniversary オプションパーツ付きSET (option parts included)" label on it? yes my box had the 30th anniversary band sticker. no option parts inside though. granted it is possible they forgot to put it in or someone swiped it? i doubt it though. yamato doesn't seal their boxes wtih tape but this box i could tell had not been opened before. as a reminder, at least for the one valk with optino parts i do have (reissue 1D) they come in a bag taped to the back of one of the plastic trays. now i suppose there is a possibility they just forgot to include it, but i guess thats unlikely. i'll wait for others to chime in when they get theirs. if other's do have it, i'm going to raise hell! lol. btw, most retailers list the valks that do come with it as "+ option parts", this one doesn't have that designation on any retailer site. i'll try to snap a couple quick pics when i get home tonight.

DarrinG Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Well then Boooooo Yamato, boooo. Serve your loyal customers and put in the dag-gone parts, sheesh... Quote
jvmacross Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 No pics of these cavalier-specific colored option parts yet??? These parts will become part of macross legend...like the Macross Plus second novel...or the Takatoku Max and Millia wedding set!!! People will swear they have seen them!!! Quote
