Reïvaj Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks for the scans, IXTL! So is that a little Kuran Kuran? Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Nice! Was hoping that would be her, and not Ranka/Sheryl/Cathy, since I've already got two of those. And, though I might just be clinging to an impossible hope here, I think they might actually have molded the lower wing gloves in color. They didn't bother to paint the interior of the lower wing glove on Ozma's VF-25S, but that one there clearly isn't blue. Quote
Loop Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Is it just me or does the head/neck area look wrong in those pics? It looks as if someone failed to extend the neck all the way up. Quote
Mommar Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Is it just me or does the head/neck area look wrong in those pics? It looks as if someone failed to extend the neck all the way up. Considering what a giant pain in the ass getting the neck portion of my Ozma to get in position was the photographer probably said "eff it" and left it the way it was. Quote

pud333 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I got an email from Anime-Export telling me the 25G was in. I told them to ship it immediately, so I should get a shipping payment request soon. Quote
Kurisama Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I got my payment request from Nippon Yasan a week and a half ago - so i expected it to ship a few days later - when it didn't I e-mailed to ask when it'd be sent, they advised that it is officially released on the 28th of sept, but would ship a day or two before. So that should be today? Quote
jmx222 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Mine just shipped by AE via EMS. Already got the tracking number.. Hope it will arrive next week.. Quote
mechaninac Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Just put in my shipping request with AE... What an expensive year this has been, but I can't wait to get this. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I'm still counting on HLJ for this one Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I got my payment request from Nippon Yasan a week and a half ago - so i expected it to ship a few days later - when it didn't I e-mailed to ask when it'd be sent, they advised that it is officially released on the 28th of sept, but would ship a day or two before. So that should be today? Should be based on all my past Mac F preorders with them. All of them were shipped either on the 27th or 28th of the month. Quote
mechaninac Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Wow, shipping from AE worked out to be quite reasonable: ~ $36.00 for EMS, and ~ $23.00 for SAL. I went with SAL since I don't need to get it fast (had the difference in shipping been only about $5.00 I would have gone EMS, but $13.00 was too much to ignore). Including the 60 cents Paypal tacked on to the exchange rate, my total going with AE came to $188.48... Amiami would've been a much better deal, but ever since after the VF-25S you stand a better chance of getting hit by a meteorite and getting struck by lighting, at the same time, then you do of securing a preorder for a Bandai renewal 25 with them. So now the waiting begins... Quote
zulu Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Has anybody gotten a response from NY that their order has been shipped out yet? I'm still waiting to her back from them. Quote

anime52k8 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I just got an email like a minute ago from Hobby Search saying that the VF-25G (which I had wait listed) was available for order, but when I clicked the link the page error-ed out. not like I could afford it even if I could find one available.

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Wow some good prices... even otacute has theirs as well but at a higher price $214 (US). I should have waited on other sites before paying for my NY order. Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I just got an email like a minute ago from Hobby Search saying that the VF-25G (which I had wait listed) was available for order, but when I clicked the link the page error-ed out. not like I could afford it even if I could find one available. I received that email as well. The page is currently active. It still appears as sold out. Edited September 28, 2012 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote
Lolicon Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I sat there refreshing the page continuously as soon as I got the email. When it finally came up, it was Sold Out. F U Bandai. Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Otacute payment request is in...$184...plus shipping. I really don't feel like paying $40 for EMS. Quote
Phalanix Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I just got an email like a minute ago from Hobby Search saying that the VF-25G (which I had wait listed) was available for order, but when I clicked the link the page error-ed out. not like I could afford it even if I could find one available. Not like it matters, their e-mail notification isn't instant, so by the time you received it, it's most likely sold out already. The window for this was really short as I checked it out of curiousity before I went to lunch for about an hour, saw the e-mail just as I got back and the page already says sold out. LOL Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 so this is out? i ordered mine from a local store but they get theirs a aweek or two later than these onlne guys. guess i'll have it ina few weeks? any word or fast packs for this guy yet in terms of release dates or perorders? Quote

Rabidweezil Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 IMG_0981 by Ultraman23, on Flickr not to hit the panic button or anything, but does that head-laser look a bit warped? Quote
Jasonc Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Is that a Ranka co-pilot? I totally forgot to pay my invoice, and it should've been cancelled two days ago, but it was still there, and I got it in. Whooooaaa. Lucky me, hahahaha. Edited September 28, 2012 by Jasonc Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I have my repainted/relabeled Alto super packs waiting for this bad boy to arrive... Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Copilot's actually Klan, from the last episode scene. NY seems to be a bit behind sending out the shipping notices this time around, but I guess I'll find out what happens next week. Quote
NightCastle Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Wow! It is already going for over $330 on eBay! Quote
mqvu Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Nice ... come on NY, don't fail me now... still waiting for the shipment notices Quote
Loop Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 not to hit the panic button or anything, but does that head-laser look a bit warped? I had this same problem with my YF-29, I had to send it back to Japan to get one that had a straight fin on the head. I hope I don't get a bent head laser. Quote
jenius Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 A friend in Japan says he was able to grab me one. W00t! Quote
xrentonx Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Damnit! I wish I had a friend in Japan Quote
