anime52k8 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I bought a Robot Damashii figure to add it to the VF-27 just because I was curious about the line. Maybe hlj has something on a sale that may be interesting to you. Robot Damashii's are awesome. I like all of the one's I have more than the v1 VF-27 I own. Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I love Robot Damashii's. I usually always add one or two to my HLJ orders. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 i dont mind the Damashiis, but i feel they're a little pricey for what you get/ Quote
Scyla Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Well I managed to get the EMS costs pretty close to the SAL ones with the inclusion of a few items (don't know if this is a good thing). Now I have the VF-27 on the way with some extra toys that I can bring to work and play with them instead of... ...you know actually work. Can't wait for the VF-27 though. The maroon color is just too nice. Quote
cinello Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) NY Ship my VF27 with SAL one from three order. Edited August 15, 2013 by cinello Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Mine has been "preparation in progress" for a few days now at NY. That seems like a long time to "prepare" a package. Quote
Dobber Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Same here. Maybe they don't like our area of the U.S. Chris Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Mine was like that too. Im in Delaware. Maybe your on to something... Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Mine has been "preparation in progress" for a few days now at NY. That seems like a long time to "prepare" a package. yup mine has been since monday japan time...so 2.5 days...or 3 whole work days for them. usually doesn' t seem to take this long. Quote
Gakken85 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I'm waiting for HLJ to get some stuff in stock, but I'll probably SAL it Thursday or Friday. Quote
valhary Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 for the price two parts missing and should be included in this upgrade was the shooting effect and the fold booster Quote
charger69 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Fold booster will probably come with Grace ver. Edited August 14, 2013 by charger69 Quote
thirty Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Reading the instructions it seems the gunpod attachment piece is optional and only makes gunpod very solid in fighter mode. It's definitely renewal-worthy I think. Question for the early owners of this beauty : The instruction manual shows the karate-chop hands mounted for fighter mode. You could still have the new articulated hands in there, right? Yes, the clip on the Gunpod itself is suffiencient for holding the Gun in place. The external clip is added to sheath the gun handle to make for a super solid connection, but the Gun clip is stable as is. I will try the articulated hands out tonight when I get home, but they should work. Quote
thirty Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 so is the plastic and paint color actually different from the first release or is just a lighting thing? This color of dark maroon photographs as a lighter almost pinkish color. Definitely a trick of the picture taking process. In person, the color is much darker. Sorry I don't have the original to compare to. Quote
Frogze Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks thirty! Looks like Bandai updated this bird as it deserved to be ^^ Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 That's good---here's hoping they tweak the CF's colors. (really, the striping needs tweaking far more than the main color--the main color merely needs to match itself better, but the striping could use a complete re-do) Quote
eyesonme78 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 if any one is still keen, vf-27 super is on mandarake. http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1363837.html Quote

wm cheng Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Gone... already ;-( That was fast. Thanks though. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 What about the prices on yahoo Japan? Is it a safe bet to pick up any valk from there? A little off topic but was wondering about a second 25G. Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I think mine I'd stick in Japanese holiday hell. Has been at the Tokyo export sorting station for the past three days. I wish the US had this many holidays! Quote
Stark1975 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Just arrived from Nin nin mine from nin nin is still waiting at customs in L.A. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Mine has left Jaopan, and landed at Sydney. I should get it Monday Quote
Loop Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 For some reason my VF-25F and VF-27 are still processing for shipping at HLJ. Quote
IXTL Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 For some reason my VF-25F and VF-27 are still processing for shipping at HLJ. HLJ are closed for the Obon holiday. I think they'll only be back next week. Quote
Valk-1S Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Yesterday I saw Amazon JP (Amazon itself and not marketplace) put up over 20 pieces at 21,000 Yen which is retail plus 5% Japan Tax, and they were gone in a few minutes. It's still early, and probably expect prices to fall over at Amazon JP marketplace after a while. The Alto VF-25F have been falling in price each week over at Amazon JP. The RVF-25 is still selling below retail over at Amazon JP. Edited August 16, 2013 by Valk-1S Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 That's a big box! Open it, open it!! Didn't have time to handle it yet as I needed to go to work. Need to make moolah in order to sustain this seriously expensive hobby of ours. I'll take more pics when I get off in the morning. =) Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Anyone else find the purple parts at the feet to be loose and the arms a bit floppy? It's also back heavy, but other than that, it's golden. Quote
Bullet_Sponge Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Mine has been "preparing" over at NY for a full week now. Anyone else having this issue? Quote
