Expand Ah, the good old days when you could leisurely ask a proxy to purchase it for you. Now it's another form of PO Madness, where you have to get to a proxy as quickly as possible, otherwise they run out of purchasing slots (thanks, Bandai!) and you're stuck waiting until after release and hoping you can get one on the secondary market for a somewhat reasonable price.

derex3592 Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 If anyone still wants or needs this for the absolutely ludicrous price.... https://smile.amazon.com/Tamashi-Nations-Macross-Phoenix-HI-Metal/dp/B0B23ZMHYZ/ref=rvi_sccl_2/142-1236103-0727000?pd_rd_w=5NQhe&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=H7BS7MEMFC6FQKNACFYW&pd_rd_wg=YDSIO&pd_rd_r=0b310964-c45e-4556-a1a9-7374971cfa35&pd_rd_i=B0B23ZMHYZ&psc=1 Quote
Froy Posted September 13, 2022 Posted September 13, 2022 Weird. I have never seen a product like this with shipping to Mexico. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 Now that they've followed through on the VF-0S and VF-1S, let's hope that this is the next piece that Bandai finally delivers... Quote

Expand I'm guessing that HLJ is still using their "eh...sometime before the end of October" estimate because the actual release date was only just announced. AE still shows 31 Oct as well. I can't remember a time when HLJ and AE didn't start shipping valks on Bandai's release date. This could be the exception, or the new normal, but I hope not. Quote
MKT Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 We are going to find out very soon, the actual height of this HMR VF-0.. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 HLJ, and many other retailers, list the release date as the last day of the release month until they update the listing with the actual release day (which bandai usually announces at the start of the month an item ships). They just haven't updated the listing yet, no big mystery. Quote

MKT Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Another fantastic box art! Though looking at the back, only 1/5 of the space is taken up by the actual toy itself. Wonder what fills the rest of it.. Quote

Expand Have to wonder about this too, it doesn't have that many accessories, does it? Maybe they packaged the stand in the main tray, instead of under it. Quote

It'll be a bit of shame if they reverse course now. Perhaps it's their way to justify the unusually higher MSRP for this.. Quote
vladykins Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 I bit the bullet and bought another from AE to ship together. Need one in fighter and one in battroid. Quote

sh9000 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Looks like it will be one long tray for the VF-0S instead of smaller trays like for the VF-1. The box also looks it is shorter in height when laying down flat. Quote

sh9000 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 From Ataru Au on FB. The VF-0S is taller. Quote

I'm not including the head lasers. Do the ratios get better or worse when they're both standing straight up? Dunno. Expand I used the Ataru's Facebook photo to upscale VF-0S to its correct height/scale against VF-1S based on its official Battroid height specs. VF-1 Battroid at 12.68 meters and VF-0S at 14 meters. I used those numbers to the top of the head and not to the head lasers. I know most members will say that they're not standing straight. Yes, they're not, but I tweaked the legs straight in Photoshop so I can measure it properly and created a guide to be able to use it on the leg sprayed pose. And this is what I came up with. What do you guys think? Quote
Lolicon Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Bottom pic definitely more accurate depiction of the height difference between the two. Quote
