That will be the Mountian Hoilday (Obon). @Alex GS is right that the next business day is Thursday.

The orange colors actually look really good in this shot. I'm also noticing that Bandai has included a true standard fighter mode stand adapter for the first time in HMR since the original GBP release.

I think it looks awesome , great/awesome pictures @EmilianoAlfaro  can't wait to get mine., waiting for AmiAmi payment request  

[Shizuka the Cat]

It's so beautiful and.... orange!

And YAY, CDJapan is showing my pre-order of 2 HMR VT-1's is in shipping process.

[spacemanoeuvres]

Looks good. Mine haven’t shipped from cdj but I chose cheap shipping so going to be a while either way

[derex3592]

Looking good! This little guy is my BDay present to myself this month, so I'm excited to see him! 

[vt102]

Looks beautiful to me. I can't believe people are complaining. Be lucky companies are making new items and in different scales.

Waiting a couple of more days to hit the 60 day PW limit at HLJ to get my SuperO....

I'm sure it's noticeable to naked eye but contrast won't be so stark.

Actually, mine exhibits only a faint difference in color when photographed:

...but the difference looks more significant to my eye than it does in pictures.

NY sent me tracking info and then didn’t ship mine either.

[F360]

even though the items at cdjapan are label as "in shipping process"

They have already credit the reward points to my account.

In those kinda of cases, it more likely that they already shipped out the item, but is yet to update you with the tracking number.

This happen a couple of time with friday/saturday releases.

Can't wait to get my package. I still prefer the orange tone in Yamato V2. Anyone has one to place side by side?

You know I do.  

Even the beige is different!  

[Sanity is Optional]

Just got shipping notice from CDJ on mine.

SAL, just one HMR in the box.

 

[edit] Also say they shipped my Aile Strike, in a separate box. SAL

Yamato just killed it.

[HardlyNever]

Sigh... also got a shipping notice from CDJapan.  Despite changing my address with them weeks ago, and sending them 2 emails after I noticed they were STILL shipping the vt-1 to my old address... they sent it out to my old address...

I think USPS has a rerouting option, but I know that costs money.  And I'm sure CDJapan won't cover that cost.  This is my first (and probably last) time using them.  If your system can't automatically update the shipping address of pre-ordered items, then you need to update your system.

Edit: Just checked and it looks like that is only available for domestic shipments... so... I'm not sure what to do.  I might try a change of address, but I'm not sure if this package will be redirected by that.  Anyone else ever run into a situation like this?

Got my shipping notice from CDJ too. 2x VT-1 and MB Aile Strike shipping together. 

The Yamato version is far superior to the HMR version, but good luck finding one for a reasonable price!

Just redirect to a nearby UPS store.  They don’t charge for that.

NM, I read UPS.  USPS... you could tell them to hold it at the local distribution center.  You’d have to go physically pick it up then.  No idea what kind of drive that would be for you though.

Does anyone else think the HMR VT-1 looks very much like the original Yamato 1/60 VT-1 version 1 (w/ the removable legs)?  The color scheme looks almost identical, and the molding of the boosters look more like that than the Yammy V2.  It's as if they were going for that look instead of the Yammy V2 Ostrich.  SMH...

[TheLoneWolf]

I always thought that the colors used on the Yamato v2 were a little off.

Unless my monitor is miscalibrated, the colors that Bandai's HMR uses is a better match with the colors chosen by the Macross Mecha Manual, which is pretty reliable.
