Looks good. There’s the stand adaptor. Quote

Maybe the author is describing that feature? Quote

Dobber Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Paid for mine, as well, from AmiAmi. Does this come with a stand? Chris Quote

It's so good the way they made the armor attach to the figure. Highly recommended! Quote

Roy Focker Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Just paid Ami Ami. And now I have zero pending Hi-Metal R preorders. Come on and announce the next preorder. Quote
amptor Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Waiting for my nine orders to ship. Sorting things out with my paypal preorder to AE so nothing has shipped yet unless Mykombini shipped mine already. Quote

Boobytrap Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 HLJ payment request for ELINT received and paid for. Hopefully they ship it out soon so I can get it next week. Quote
Atheonyirh Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Same, just got my payment request taken care of, then sent my shipping request along with the Sheryl Nome Figuarts. Quote

I don't think so. They're typically stored/launched in fighter mode. The normal operational setting wpuld be stowed in both fighter and gerwalk. It only has to telescope for the oddity that is Battroid. Quote

The normal operational setting wpuld be stowed in both fighter and gerwalk. It only has to telescope for the oddity that is Battroid. Yeah, you're still backward. A toy needs to exist in a physical form where it can accomplish all three modes. In this instance, that can only be accomplished with the dome being too high in fighter and GERWALK modes unless a telescoping function is added. As you say, without the telescoping it wouldn't be able to do battroid, and we know it can and would never be made where it couldn't. Again, I refer you to the 1/55. Yes, we can call this a semantics argument but I think it would only ever be pointed out because the 1/55 does not telescope and achieves all modes but this telescoping let's it do so in a more attractive manner.

Sanity is Optional Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Waiting for Hobby Search to ship mine out. Quote
mechaninac Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Got my shipping notification for my HI-METAL R VE-1, along with Figuarts' Rei Yamamoto, from CDJ this morning, but since I chose SAL, I won't have them in-hand until the middle of next month, at the earliest. Quote

Not sure if even @sh9000 is getting that many. @amptor -- Are you just a really big fan of this and the VT-1? Speaking of VT-1, I'd also really love to see a PO soon. But with the last HMR releases being VF-1 variants, I'm guessing Bandai will mix it up and announce something else, like a destroid maybe (hopefully the Tomahawk). Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Tomahawk or Phalanx would be sweet Quote
Cowboy17 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Crap. I forgot to cancel my other preorders, now I have 3 shipping to me, lol Quote
wmkjr Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I totally forgot about my order at NY and it got cancelled. Luckily I was able to order it again. Quote
