SaitouSad Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I recalled he has them sent to 2 addresses or something, so he probably just stacked them for the shot Quote
neoexcaliber Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Wait a minute. They allowed you to buy 2? He probably bought it during the first preorder. HLJ didn't set a limit that time. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Woo Hoo Otacute sent me my payment request yeah, got mine too Quote

Pedro2k6 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Hk has em for 1480hkd. Still quite a few around. Hk?...what is that? Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Hong Kong LOL ...i think it was a website. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Ok, got my Alto from HLJ today. Only checked a few little things, won't transform until tomorrow or even the next day, but did check opening gear/canopy etc, and transformed just enough to put the gunpod on. A few little niggles/quirks/questions: 1. The canopy seems to securely click closed, but the main section is a little higher than the windscreen. Inherent, common, fixable? 2. Left side seems overall more secure/flush in fighter mode---notably how the left wingroot lies alongside the leg, and how "high" the leg is in fighter mode. If the entire fighter was as flush/tight as the left side, it'd look amazing--but the right side, the leg seems to "sag" just a little bit, making a bit of a gap/seam all around it. (and the right leg panel which you open for moving the ventral fin seems to never quite close) Overall, my -27 seems to be more flush/secure in fighter mode---when it's together, everything goes EXACTLY into a certain spot. Despite being a later design/mold, the -25 renewal seems to have fewer pegs/tabs/clicks, relying more on "hinge friction" to hold it together---everything seems to stay in place, but only about half of it really seems to go in as tight/flush/close as it possibly can.

Saburo Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I also go my Alto delivered today. I compared mine to what you have posted. 1. Canopy on mine is exactly as you have written. The main section is ever so slightly raised compared to the windscreen. 2. On mine the right side in fighter is flush and aligned. I did transform it to partial Gerwalk mode (standing fighter mode).

Ghostkiller Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 the last release of the VF-25F has 2 small corrections : - the white parts of the head lasers are real white this time - the fighter/gerwalk mode piece of the display stand has been modified Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 By modified, do you mean now with fewer points of connection like the RVF-25 stand adapter? Quote
Ghostkiller Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Just the front part, it is shorter and does not need to plug into 2 attachements used to secure the legs in battroid mode. Quote
Ghostkiller Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 oups sorry the stand is the same as the original release I was comparing it to stand of the vf-25G so only the head lasers have been revised Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Finally. Man. I could have got it cheaper from a shop in the states, and faster. So done with NY. Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, the right side is not as flush as the left. Definitely a step down compared to the RVF. Glad I didn't pay 260$ from NY for this Quote
wm cheng Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, the right side is not as flush as the left. Definitely a step down compared to the RVF. Glad I didn't pay 260$ from NY for this Gee thanks ;-) Still waiting on mine from NY... I was hoping that it would be just like the RVF - its seemed so nice. Quote
erikos0311 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 It will be , trust me. Once you have it in your hands, you won't want to put it down! Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 It will be , trust me. Once you have it in your hands, you won't want to put it down! I'm looking forward to that part Quote
mog_kupo Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Finaly arrived from HLJ to my place in Mexico....BEAUTIFUL BIRD Quote
xrentonx Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) I have one to pick up today from CDJ. Second HLJ coming next week AND I cancelled one from NY! Edit: AE, not CDJ. Edited August 3, 2013 by xrentonx Quote
Ghostkiller Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 mine arrived in 5 days this time, using air mail with no tracking number ( last time it took 2 weeks with a tracking number ) I do not use ems anymore as here you get easily taxed it is very strange regarding the delay... Quote

My canopy is fine but regarding the wing, you should try to rotate the legs inward in bit it will push the wing section a bit down if it works you can glue a pre-cut piece of residual photoetch on the tab in the wing section (it would be invisible) BUT FIRST : you should check if they did glue correctly the plates that hold the wings !

anime52k8 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Got mine today, canopy lines up fine. the right wing glove doesn't sit against the leg quite as flush as the left side but overall it's fine. only issue I have is that the torso doesn't come together as well as on my RVF-25 in battroid mode. The sliding platform the head/neck sits on moves up and down easily and I can't get it to line up the same way I can on the RVF-25. Quote
Loop Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 But that website...dont have VF25f to sell. He was referring to retail shops in Hong Kong as far as I can tell. Meaning stores in the city of HK. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 just got mine! beautiful!!! psst... I think you've got some transformation issues going on there. Quote
Loop Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 So I am still waiting on the 2 copies I ordered. I have one of the first release Renewal 25-F's already. Could someone show me a pic of what changed on the head lasers? Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 psst... I think you've got some transformation issues going on there. where? Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 where? Crotch needs to be outward like this / And the leg wings aren't folded in. Quote
