F360 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 But wait, that means there's now a vacancy in the premium VF-1 market... DX? I keep saying it's going to happen... it keeps not happening. I think it just shows how good the Yamato V2 really was. I thinking in some way Bandai is still trying to perfect the swing leg transformation of the VF-1. Which they release the model version. But it was not very stable, so they will need to rework it some more. Once they finally figure out a good way to make it work. they will be able to once again label it "Perfect transformation" similar to their other premium Chogokin. Quote
Mommar Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 So I guess this line is SDF/DYRL only then? What a waste. Nobody else is making Regults, Glaugs or Destroids. So there are plenty of things not VF-1 as well. Quote
Valkyrie Griffon Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Anyone still looking CDJapan just had some more in stock. They are gone now but might be worth checking around tonight. Quote
jodokast Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 For those that never got the GPB-1, Nippon Yasson has them back in stock https://www.nippon-yasan.com/11965-hi-metal-r-vf-1j-armored-valkyrie.html Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 That's an unattractive price. It is. But that's common now with Nippon-Yasan. Quote
F360 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I have 3 PO'd, so I am going to sell off a couple DYRL Toynamis I have, I'm still upset I wasn't able to get a Hikaru Strike =( http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-145669 CDjapan have 1 more copy of the hikaru strike right now. Quote
treatment Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Karaoke Ninja will get that one. Probably... Quote
sh9000 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I think I'm going to paint one of my Strike Hikarus into a Strike Max when they come in. I would totally buy a VF-1A TV Max and a few CFs. Edited October 5, 2015 by sh9000 Quote

F360 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Seriously? They can't just sell it on their online shop? think of it as advertisement, or re directing new customers to your website. Quote

sharky Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Up at AE. http://www.anime-export.com/product/28034 6120 yen but limited to 1 per customer. Thanks. Finally got a pre-order. Now, hopefully, I can get 1 or 2 more on release day, but at least the pressure is off.I do plan to collect the entire line. I missed the VF-1S pre-order. Hope I can get 1 on release day. I narrowly missed my chance on the VF-1J, but I was able to get one when it was released. It's been a little bit of a struggle to stay on top of things. I can't camp out at all hours of the night. I guess the best I can do is check right before I go to sleep and again first thing in the morning. Edited October 5, 2015 by sharky Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Seriously? They can't just sell it on their online shop? Or probably, not everyone knows there's an AmiAmi site. Nor other Japanese online site. Not every people in the world knows AmiAmi. Probably some collectors or buyers are just focused on using eBay or Amazon. Quote
Sandman Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Damn bad timing for me. With anime export you have to pay up front right? Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Damn bad timing for me. With anime export you have to pay up front right? Yup. They do charge right away. Quote
warrhead Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Where, if at all are these available for preorder? Quote
Loop Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I would say keep the faith and check all of the standard online shops in Japan. I am sure there will be more available, especially for how long the pre-orders were open. Quote
yman1437 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Now sold out...was open for like 17 hours .. Up at AE. http://www.anime-export.com/product/28034 6120 yen but limited to 1 per customer. Quote
nismogtrr32 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 These are cool! So one of mine has a loose leg and always falls off. Is it safe to just glue that back in or does it need some freedom? The second one had a stuck Gerwalk upper leg hinge and I had to unscrew it and wear down that joint. I think it's all good now. Dreaming of another Yetistand here... (sorry yeti I keep spending on toys at the moment!) I'm having the same issue with the gerwalk joint being stuck. How did you unscrew the joint? Quote
koonfasa Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I pried out the cap pictured, undid the screw underneath and carefully twisted the two pieces apart at the pin. It's easier to slide the leg off first and once unscrewed the lower leg falls off so you're just working with the thigh. Seeing how it worked, I thought the best thing to do was to wear it down by exercising that joint a few times while it was apart. It's still pretty tight, but will serve.

Ohh I didn't even notice the thing hiding the screw. How did you manage to pry that out? Where you able to do it with minimal damage? Quote
treatment Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Just got my HMR GBP-1J, so here are some quickie shots... Yeah. The other bot is the Robot Spirits Gundam ZZ v1. May have moar pics when I get a chance. Edited October 6, 2015 by treatment Quote
Reaction Warhead Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I'm not that interested in the Hi-Metal line myself, but is Bandai planning on releasing any Destroid units? I'll probably break my wallet trying to army build with those thing if they do. lol Quote

jvmacross Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Whoever is in charge of the Hi-Metal R lineup must be a Takatoku old school fan.....they are starting off with the Destroids in 1/100 exactly where Takatoku left off with their 1/100 Conversion Kit that included the Tomahawk, Defender, and Phalanx....the "sculpts" of the Spartan and Monster actually fit in very well with the old sculpts created originally by Takatoku in 1983.......
