KH355hamdi Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Finally got shipping notification from N-Y. Now what the heck is Special Services Mail...? It is going to be specially flown by one of the VF for quicker delivery. Lol. I believe it is going to be flown by either the following special service method: - Registered Mail - Insured Mail - Advice of Delivery - Express Mail http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/index_en.html Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Here's my review with video! http://collectiondx.com/toy_review/2014/yf29_durandal_valkyrie_ozma_lee_custom Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance.

XFJ-01A Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for explain Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance. Thanks for explaining that! I secured it with a bit of Bluetack in the meantime. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah, my left intake cover now fits up tight and close. Quote
Mommar Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance. What part of the cover needs to be thinned? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Assuming everything is in fighter mode positioning: There is a tab poking upwards from the top of the intake-piece that goes into a slot inside the intake's roof. Thin that tab a bit. I think I made mine about half as thick, removing from the front side. But this can certainly vary valk-to-valk I think. Mainly I just compared it to my well-fitting right-side-piece, and carved the left one's tab to match it. Quote
Scyla Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 ny not ship my 2 copy Did you called their customer support? I got the feeling that they will serve the customers first that poke them with a stick. Good luck! Quote
Valk-1S Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 ny not ship my 2 copy I received preparing for shipping last week, but still have not received shipping confirmation. Might send them a ticket to chase up. Quote
master of macross Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I wrote him several times, but I still have not received a reply, I am waiting and I hope that as soon as my order from escaping Quote
typhoon Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I posted about a week ago about receiving an answer on my two 29's. I had a "prep in progress" around 4 days ago and JUST received the shipping notice and details today. I'm sure they will get to you, but sending off another ticket wouldn't hurt! Quote
Skyboy Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I did try to pass this one(Ozma 29) but lucky I wasn't.Hope u like it... Quote

Saburo Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 A few more photos before I leave on my vacation. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 ^ Especially that last Battroid pic. -b. Quote
Saburo Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) ^ Especially that last Battroid pic. -b. Cool pic.... Love the cool black background ^.^ Thank you both. What really amazes me about the Ozma is the paint Bandai used for the eyes. It reflects the light nicely; in the first and last photos it looks as though I installed an LED in the head but that's just the light reflecting off the paint, no photo shopped effects added.

close313 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Now that you mentioned it, it really looks lighted up by LED, especially when the colour is reflected on the mouthplate. Quote
Saburo Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Now that you mentioned it, it really looks lighted up by LED, especially when the colour is reflected on the mouthplate. Yes, the reflection on the mouth plate. I was wondering what the discoloration on the mouth plate was when I was processing the photo and realized that it was the reflection from the eye. Good job Bandai! Edited May 29, 2014 by Saburo Quote
Valk-1S Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 As someone mentioned previously, NY is shipping by single orders first, then I guess they go to doubles, and so on. So the more you order, yours will be towards the end. Quote
cinello Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 A few more photos before I leave on my vacation. Excellent Photo Quote
XFJ-01A Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Does anyone where or if a 3d Rendering/Plan for the YF-29's pauldron Connector exists?Its that simple C shaped connector that snaps onto the peg in the shoulder, but I have a feeling like it could snap during a transformation or mishandle. If possible, I'd like to go down to my local 3d Printer and print out some spares in case of a worst case scenario. Quote
Duymon Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 no worry those connectors are pretty sturdy. I have 8 yf-29's and not a single issue with the connectors.

Kanedas Bike Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) 2 more came in today: *snip* i got one more coming in then i'm done, i need 3 more supers Glad I didn't sell you my one! All jokes aside, impressive. -b. *edit for spelling Edited May 30, 2014 by Kanedas Bike Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Glad I didn't sell you my one! All jokes aside, impressive. I really thought this would be a shelf warmer so i only ordered one. when i thought you were going to cancel yours i didn't mind taking it as a double. one to keep boxed and one to play. but i had one on hlj that i forgot to cancel so i had to pay for it as well. a few weeks afterwards, once it was hard to find, that's when everyone found out the demand for these. and the collector blood in me starting rising like a zentraedi and i couldn't suppress the instincts. as jvmacross posted in the market watch thread, the fun is in the hunt! you never know, these can drop in price if bandai releases more in the wild...
