The offering from Yano Shop sold out, so AmazonJP directed you to a different 3rd party seller... which unfortunately, unlike Yano Shop, does not ship outside of Japan. Quote
Master Dex Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Haven't been watching thread much since VF-4 preorders.. any news on the official release date or is it still just sometime in March? Looking to get an idea of when CDJ is gonna bill me. Quote

F360 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 release date for the HI-metal R VF-4 is set for 03-23-19. Quote
Mazinger Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 And hopefully there's a chunk of VF-4's available then. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 VF-4 available at NY for Y15500 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/26613-hi-metal-r-vf-4-lightning-iii.html Quote
sh9000 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Got the email from NY for the release date change of the VF-4 from 3/31 to now 3/23. Also the payment request to be paid before 3/11. I’ll probably pay some time next week. Quote
Slave IV Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I just went ahead and paid for my VF-4Gs at NY since the exchange rate just jumped up to the best it’s been since Christmas. Might keep getting better but I have a few other orders to pay for in the next couple weeks. Quote
Rogueload Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Just finished up my custom HMR max TV 1A. Thanks for the pointers @sh9000!! Quote
sh9000 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Excellent work @Rogueload! Glad to help. If you have a Max pilot figure from the HM or HMR VF-1J, you can just put him in the seat. Quote

Yep brushed the color on and then brushed matte finish to avoid chipping. 16 minutes ago, sh9000 said: Excellent work @Rogueload! Glad to help.

Big s Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I was looking at that while I checked for the gp01 and gp02. Not a bad price at all for the vt1. There’s some other interesting items for sale as well. Quote

A matte finish won't avoid chipping, especially when applied over a smooth plastic surface. You should hit every raised edge with sandpaper to roughen it up, especially where it's likely to contact another painted surface: Repainting a transformable toy can be a daunting task! Quote
sumyumgoy Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Nice custom @Rogueload! What paint/color did you use? I've been meaning to this as well =) Quote

Thanks for the tips @tekering. I don’t plan to transform it much sense it will be in my SDFM HMR diorama. Next up is hayao’s TV 1A! Quote
Alphahorizon Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Hey could anyone recommend a stand(s) for the HMR line? Quote
