If you're asking the original line (VF Hi-Metal), no. Both of them however were renewed in the Hi-Metal R line initial releases. But as of this moment there's no info if those two are getting reissues. Quote
Slave IV Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 That Roy color VF-2SS looks really good! Quote

I’d love to have a transformation display with HMR VF-1J Hikaru’s but I don’t think I have enough. I might try it with my CF VF-1A’s Quote

F360 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 received my 2 VF-2Ss from Nippon-Yasan today, They used 2 smaller boxes and slided together and use Sushi ads for packaging paper. I'm hungry again thanks to them. Quote
barurutor Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 man i just get the regular japanese newspaper for my amiami and n-y packages. Quote
borgified Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 @F360: Don't you love those hidden messages that they try to entice you with? @barurutor: Actually N-Y has sent me this a few years back when I ordered the Hi-Metal R VF-1S Roy and I still have it with me presently. As a gearhead by trade, I actually did further digging and discovered that Ken Okuyama did help out in the design of the Enzo Ferrari and the Kode 7 (it looks more of the Ariel Atom car than the X-Bow IMO), plus the various Shinkansen trains that are being used to get around Japan.

I think I'll take your advice and flat coat them so they don't look so cheap and plastic...ky?

Roy Focker Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Finally got my VF-2SS today. Actually it arrived yesterday. During yesterday morning I checked the shipping status. It was still listed as being on route to my local post office. That was lie as it arrived and already on a truck on its away towards me. I was home all day and nobody knocked on my door. I just got the pick up your package note tomorrow at the post office. Not the first time I had to deal with lazy delivery people who refuse to move than 20ft away from their truck. I have yet to transform it out of battroid mode. I was trying but a cat kept trying to get in my way and some parts popped off. This toy feels like complex and fragile engineering master piece. At this scale I'm afraid it will break or simply become a floppy mess with over handling. Instead I armed with fast packs and the rifle. Fact you have to remove a tiny little square in the limbs in order to plug in the fast packs is ridiculous. Those pieces are so tiny. If accidently drop one on the floor you'll never find it. This toy looks great but it feels like snap together model kit than actual toy. Quote

When transforming it into Fighter, just take your time with those leg joints, takes a bit of fiddling around get them straight. Once in place the 2SS looks really good! Quote
locidm Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Finally had time to mess with 2SS. Made the mistake of also taking out the ET one for a comparison shot. It reminded me just how bad the ET one is. Granted, the amount of small parts needed to be taken out of the HMR for SAP attachment was very surprising: four Tony bits for arms and legs armors and one long narrow bit for attachment of display stand adaptor plus better stability. Once I get pass that and the showing of the skeleton, I like it enough for what it is. Edited December 16, 2017 by locidm Quote
sh9000 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Found pics of the packaging and inside contents. Looks good. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Agreed, the art is nice. And seems they packed pretty efficiently for space. I was wondering how large the box would need to be for these. Edited December 16, 2017 by ScrambledValkyrie Quote
HardlyNever Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 I'm more excited for the Regults than I probably should be. Looks like we'll never run out of spare chin lasers, either. Quote

derex3592 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 That looks fantastic! Pumped for the Regult missile types. Quote

I was wishing ET provided some stickers of the MII kite emblem so I could use it elsewhere. Maybe I'll switch it with a NUNS logo on my other one. Quote
