anime52k8 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Well, if you guys are really so enraged by how utterly inaccurate the paint scheme is, I'd be happy to take the thing off your hands free of charge. Heck, I'll be nice and even cover the cost of shipping. Quote
Mommar Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 NY claims I didn't choose a method of shipping with Tracking... Quote
Bunneh Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Send them a PDF copy of your order. Mine just got shipped this morning, Edited October 3, 2012 by Bunneh Quote
ArchieNov Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I'd rather they release the tornado pack for the 25g Quote
mechaninac Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I don't know about the Tornado Packs, but the Super Pack is a given... just give'em time. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Mine's inbound into customs in LA! Yes! Quote
Loop Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Mine's inbound into customs in LA! Yes! Nice, maybe mine will end up in customs soon.... My packages usually hit the SFO customs office, but I have not seen an update. I am guessing I will have it on Fri/Sat. Quote

Jasonc Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm getting kinda pissed at NY, as they have had mine in processed for a week now. 1st and last time for Nippon Yassan for me. I should've received mine already. Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Paid for mine on 10/1 at NY, received tracking and shipping info this morning before I woke up for work. I guess NY is hit or miss, but they've been all hits for me so far so I'll keep letting it ride with them. Quote

I paid for mine on the 28th of September.Edit: I just sent them an email putting them on point. While normally I'm cool with a wait while they sort their stuff out, the fact that some people who paid after me already have shipping and tracking notices, that irks me to no end. This probably is going to be my last purchase from them, unless I get a perk, or great explanation why. Edited October 4, 2012 by Jasonc Quote
ultraman zoffy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I paid for mine on the 28th of September. Thats pretty bad... did you email them to see what the hold up was? Quote
Kurisama Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I paid for mine on the 16th of sept, lol - got confirmation yesterday they have sent it, it is chilling somewhere in Ehime Prefecture. Quote
pud333 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 The towline hooks just underneath. The money shot. Quote
Loop Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for the pics pud333, can't wait to get mine. Quote

Paid for mine the 16th as well... and just got notice yesterday (the 3rd) that it was just shipped out. Maybe they're going by who placed their pre-orders first? I was on the late boat... a couple days (2/3?) after the first price because I missed the first run and ended up with 230 a pop. Edited October 4, 2012 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 It must be by date. I pre-ordered mine when they were $190. Im pretty sure I didnt pay until after the 21st and it should be here tomorrow. Quote
master of macross Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 beautiful pictures, I wait my 3 copies to arrive in Italy ... this time I am made to cheat, and I've taken 3 already in preorder, given the price hann reached the renewal series ... Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Nice pics! What material are the "cables" made of? Quote
pud333 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the kind words guys. The grappling hooks are made of plastic, and the wire is the same as the little alternate Alto you got with the VF-25F. As for the toy, I don't know about anyone else who has theirs already, but the QC on mine is awesome. No major paint problems, no bent or warped pieces, no floppy wings, all the joints are tight, but not too tight... Bandai really did a great job. I figure I have to go through the ridiculous preorder hunt at least one more time, which would be for Luca's. Maybe twice, if they do a renewal VF-27, which I really hope they do. But other than that, I think I am done for Frontier unless Bandai decides to venture into doing Klan Klang's Queadluun or something, which probably won't happen.

xrentonx Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) So after all the nail-biting and cancelling of orders (with NY) and then scrambling for new orders (long story), it turns out I'm getting two of these babies. One from HLJ, which I barely made (Yay!)...and one via a second order with NY (after cancelling the first preorder with them in haste). The HLJ order came after the 2nd NY order. Guess which one I overpaid for? I wasn't planning on keeping both but now that I've looked at the pictures, I'm leaning toward keeping both because I love the VF-25G (second to the Ozma). I'm still not happy about the price I paid for the NY order but I'll deal with it. I understand why they up the price like that but it makes me less likely to go to them first for any kind of orders in the future. On a happy note, I pulled my HLJ order like a champ. I'm one lucky bastard Edited October 4, 2012 by xrentonx Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I don't remember off the top of my head what the conversion at the time was, but I know I got mine for 16,000 yen, plus shipping. I pretty much preordered with NY from the day they had it, so I missed the price hikes. According to the tracking number it hit customs already, so I might have it by the end of this week. Edit: Whoa. Seriously.. I just checked the tracking number on the USPS site: Processed Through Sort Facility: October 03, 2012, 3:41 pm ISC LOS ANGELES CA (USPS) Origin Post is Preparing Shipment Processed Through Sort Facility: October 03, 2012, 1:03 am KANSAI INT APT, JAPAN Processed Through Sort Facility: October 03, 2012, 12:51 am KANSAI INT APT, JAPAN Acceptance: October 01, 2012, 9:38 pm I don't think I've ever seen a package get processed, and arrive in LA the same day. Granted, there's a big time change in there to help... but still. Edited October 4, 2012 by Chronocidal Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 out for delivery!!!! yay! just missed getting it delivered on 30th anniversary of sdfm by a day. lol. On a side note....Someone REALLY REALLY needs to recast the arm part of the stand in clear plastic. I like the functionality of the stand but hate that it looks lik ea big black stick up the gerwalks crotch. Can someone get on that? :-) i've been wanting a clear version since the V1 days. the flightpose stands are great but not that stable as they loosen over time with usage. Quote
sharpnel Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Anyone got the notice from HLJ yet? My order is still in processing. BTW, good idea on the clear stand Mechapilot77. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) My video review won't be out until next Friday. LOL. Too busy now that the A's have made the post season. Edited October 4, 2012 by UN Spacy Quote
Lolicon Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 HLJ shipment arrived early! And I placed my order late Sunday/early Monday morning. I don't think I've ever gotten such a quick turnaround time from HLJ. I might have to reevaluate my assessment of HLJ. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Even recast in clear, I don't think you'll ever fix the fact that those stands are just ridiculously massive The huge pedestal/stand for my UCS Lego Star Destroyer was less distracting than those black monstrosities. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 In answer to earlier inquiries, unlike the 25S, the wing gloves and shoulders are molded in their proper color. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Mine's out of customs. Should be here tomorrow. =) Quote
Loop Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Mine's out of customs. Should be here tomorrow. =) Mine also made it in and out of customs over night. Cleared customs @ around 7:00 am Quote
