Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Love the standard VF-171.....though, would that canopy still work on the EX nose section or would it require an new nose? Chris The CF canopy is definitely wider than the EX version, but considering the entire cockpit on the VF-171 rotates up, it shouldn't be too hard to replace that entire section. It's hard to tell from the pictures so far, but the portion that moves might be big enough for the standard canopy already. Considering they planned ahead so well for the armor and super parts with the renewal VF-25, I can't imagine they'd pass up a chance to milk this mold, and the CF is really the only other thing you can get out of it.

Lolicon Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 So did everyone who wanted a 171 manage to get a preorder in? Quote
Graham Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I got 3 pre-orders in with 3 different shops (Anime-Export, iShop2Go and HLJ), so hopefully, I'll get all 3, or at least 1. Call me greedy, but I really want multiples of this. Graham Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I'd rather have gotten one from AmiAmi, but the preorder died midway through me placing my order. Got one at BBTS, so I'll just have to hope they don't overestimate the supply again. Quote
xrentonx Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I wanted 1 and managed to get 2. I was all worried for nothing Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ARGH. Dammit! Missed the HLJ preorder... Quote
xrentonx Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 There should be another BBTS (I know) order floating around somewhere now that I cancelled mine. Quote
mgmalheiros Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Mee too, missed all preorder windows. I'd give a try at DenDenHobby... Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) HLJ NOW! http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN975641 Go GO! Edited March 8, 2012 by Valkyrie23 Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 HLJ NOW! http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN975641 Go GO! Finally! Thanks for the heads-up! -b. Quote
shazam Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Just ordered now after emailing them for days. No sign of the YF-29 Durandal though. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Good to see more MWers getting in. Good ol' HLJ - I should never doubt them. I'm still looking for a YF-29 myself. Well maybe down the road someone would be willing to trade a YF-29 for a VF-171EX Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 HLJ NOW! http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN975641 Go GO! Awesome. Thanks for the heads up! Quote
sharpnel Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Yay!! Finally got mine ordered from HLJ. I'm glad I waited. Thanks Valkyrie23. Edited March 8, 2012 by sharpnel Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) And "Order Stop" That was a lot quicker than the 3 hour run the other day Edited March 8, 2012 by Valkyrie23 Quote
sharpnel Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 That was fast. I should have ordered more than 1 to split wth you guys. Quote
mgmalheiros Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Amazing! Thank you guys, just got mine at HLJ! Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 BTW I got my email confirmation a few minutes ago from HLJ Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ARGH!! Again, I was in the shower this time. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ARGH!! Again, I was in the shower this time. Stop making excuses. If you really wanted one you shouldn't be taking showers. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Oh, I got a BBTS order in, so I'm not that worried. I'd just love to have the extra insurance of an HLJ order as well. Quote
BlueMax Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 If I ordered through HLJ, this is gonna be my 4th Preorder , each from different sources. Hah.... i dunno, maybe in July, everybody who ordered multiples across sources will be selling the extras, and that could have downward pressure on the prices... lol~! If that happens, I'll blame Bandai again. Quote
Sandman Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I'm getting really annoyed with this. I'm constantly looking at this thread and i always seem to miss these preorder windows. Very frustrating. Quote
Kyp Durron Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Oh, I got a BBTS order in, so I'm not that worried. I'd just love to have the extra insurance of an HLJ order as well. So do I, but after getting screwed over by them on the VF-25S, I wouldn't be too confident either, if I were you. -Kyp Quote
eyesonme78 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just hope i can get all three shops to have the VF-171EX valkyries.. so i can have 3 valkyries!! hahaha... Fantasy hope though... Quote
chen Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Toy-wave has pre-orders up. It looks like the online Hong Kong stores are now getting their turn now. Hopefully that lessons the panic around here.....probably not lol. Quote
charger69 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Toy-wave has pre-orders up. It looks like the online Hong Kong stores are now getting their turn now. Hopefully that lessons the panic around here.....probably not lol. Do you recommend toy-wave? Quote
Renato Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ARGH!! Again, I was in the shower this time. This might sound crazy, but in the end, hygiene is more important than robot toys. You're doing a favour not only for yourself , but also for the outside perception of our community. Quote
Golden Arms Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I missed HLJ, again, but went ahead and ordered through toywave. If the HLJ preorder opens up again, I plan to go with them. This is what I get for going out and drinking :-) Quote

It's the only way they'll learn. Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I have yet to have even been close to getting one of these preorders. I sucked it up and ebay'd it Quote
