Hi-Metal R

[stormshadow0621]

This sucks, NY finally told me they didn't see my additional payment for the Roy which I made 5 days ago. I knew their system was screwy.

[sh9000]

F*ck it, ordered another Roy.

Yup me too. Now I can open one and leave the other in box.

I still need to open Hikaru. Just been to lazy

Mine just shipped, so we'll see if I got a stand or not.

[calubin_175]

Anyone getting 3x VF-1A? I hope super pack will come later.

Is the VF-1A usually the cheapest of all VF-1's in any line?

I think next month they will announce the DX Delta stuff and then all HI-Metal R's will be web exclusives.

[Old Man]

At least 3...no, make that 4...minimum.

[sh9000]

I'm definitely getting 5 CF VF-1A's minimum and 10 maximum.

[jvmacross]

April 28 pre-order for the VF-1A?

[easnoddy]

Got my Fokker from NY! With the stand! I preordered it 20 days ago. Maybe they all come with the stand?

I'll get 2 CF VF-1A. One for each configuration.

What happened to the HMR Max and Milla valks? Dropped?

They always come last and in limited numbers.

Thanks for the info about NY my first HiMetal VF.

I was planning on only getting enemy mecha and destroids but how can I pass on Roy. I need at least on VF in scale.

Looks like it. I'm ready.

I'm with you on enemy mecha and destroids in this line. I have my main stuff in 1/60, but HMR is a great way to round out some VF repaints that I never had space for...Can't wait for my first CF! Need someone to stand guard after all.

[RDX17]

I wish they just get rid of that useless and fugly "small-wings" crap, and provide the black feet option instead.

I was originally a bit perplexed by the inclusion of the small wings as well, however I've been using the ones included with the VF-1S Strike (Hikaru) on the Armored VF-1J and appreciate them quite a bit. I now wish they'd been included with the Armored VF-1J.

Paid the extra fee over a day ago and now waiting for it to ship.

Was the date announced earlier? I don't remember seeing an announcement for the pre-order.

Got my shipped notification.

I said I only needed a single VF-1 in this scale but the Brownie is cool looking for canon fodder. Plus I have already one in 1/48 & 1/60 scale. I need it in 1/100 to have a matching set.

Love the stand! Is that available somewhere?

[sh9000]

Probably same places online to preorder on 4/28.

Is the brownie a regular release or tamashi exclusive?

Regular.

On this link, you can see that only Roy is the Tamashii exclusive.

vf-1a will be easy to get in Japan. Never had any issues getting one post release

[Tking22]

I'll be needing three 1As, amiami will suffice as usual. I'm wondering what will be next, this 1A was a bit of a curve ball. I'd personally like to finish off some of Vermilion and get the Kaki 1A out of the way, but I'd settle for a Max 1J as well.

Edit: I'm pretty sure those stands are just Tamashii trident stands, maybe I'm wrong and they're something new for the hi-metals.

[Sandman]

Personally glad the brownie is coming out rather than the max 1J since i already have the max from the prior release.

Got my Roy today and it has the stand! Weird since they didn't ask for extra shipping for this one. They ask for 500 yen for the second one that just got shipped today. The funny thing is this all could've been avoided. There's enough space in the second tray with the super parts for the stand. Over 1/3rd of the tray is dead space.

[jenius]

Looks like I got two as NY finally came through and shipped mine. YAY! I like the new trident stand also.

Thanks for that. I must've missed the pre-order date a few pages back.

I really hope they resize the 1a tv pilot. He looks too small for these.

The1a was a bit of a surprise for a September release, now I'm curious about the next release after that, probably November.

I was wondering about the size of the pilot when I was looking at the pics of the 1A. The figure looks small compared to the other VF-1 releases, unless the 1A figure is normal human sized and Roy and Hikaru are much bigger than a normal human.

[takatoys]

Roy is back at NY with the usual higher price.

Since the Monster might be big and heavy, is it more likely to be charged by customs (US)? It would be my first time to order from Japan to US.

To the best of my knowledge, the USA does not charge import/customs fees... at least I've never encountered it, no matter how large the box or how high the declared value on the shipping label, whether if by SAL, EMS, or FedEx.
