Sildani Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Cool toy, they forgot to slide the knee covers up though. Quote
seti88 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Cool toy, they forgot to slide the knee covers up though. Nicely spotted... Cool! Took out the F-14A. the vf-4 should be as large as the f-14, no? A question waiting to be answered... boy if there was a similar scaled sr-71 (cos they both have twin engine on the wings), that would provide a nice contrast to a white vf-4.. oh maaan...what did I make myself look for.... 1/72 scale...https://www.amazon.com/Mastercraft-Collection-Blackbird-Reconnaissance-Supersonic/dp/B0006N1Q90 1/100 scale...https://www.amazon.ca/Motormax-Skywings-100-Scale-77017/dp/B005VCO8PA Not sure on the quality tho...sorry for the diversion...

The VF-4 should be a little bit smaller in length than the F-14. Yeah the SR-71 would contrast well with the VF-4. I still need a good 1/100 scale SR-71, F-117, and B-2 Bomber.

Chronocidal Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 By the way, for anyone looking for a 1/100 VF-25, but not wanting to deal with the VF100s, there's always this little gem of a kit. Fighter only, but you can't really go wrong at this pricepoint. https://hlj.com/1-100-scale-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-alto-custom-ban969488 Quote

seti88 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Yeah, i suppose its to avoid sharp points and accidentally breaking them whilst transformation? Quote
Master Dex Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Now to just wait on the CDJapan billing and shipping... I heard it could be as late at the 23rd. Quote
Boobytrap Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Received and paid for my invoice from MK yesterday. Super pumped to be getting this in hand soon. Quote
Alex GS Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I'm really thinking of letting these ones go((HMR VF4 x 2) once I pay for them(don't want to get bad reputation from AmiAmi by cancelling), some surprise expenses pop up for me so I will need to recover some of the cash from this purchase, if I decide to let them go(I hope not) I will sell them for much less of its original price, will let you know guys .

davidwhangchoi Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Wow, Detachable that's incredible news. i hope i don't lose any Quote
Pontus Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I gotta stay off of this site. You guys are always making me want more! I've never seen where this came from, and thus wasn't all that interested, but after seeing everyone get excited about it, I decided to look it up and watch it in action. Awesome! Now I want one!

slide Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Wow, on a re-watch I never noticed the Digital Picture frame Minmay has... Macross has a Star Trek "we have those now" moment!! neat! Edited March 18, 2019 by slide Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Wow, Detachable I only have one request for these.. well, ok two. Obviously, they need to stay on. Second? It doesn't look like it from the picture there, but I'm really wishing they had molded all of the missiles identically. I know Yamato made the attachments different for the different locations, but they didn't even bother to try and give the missiles a standard shape. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 The tabs should hold the missiles in place. I’ll keep them from falling out. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 that's what we all thought about the Yamato one's as well..LOL. I glued mine on years ago. Quote
onnasake Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 My Lightning will be arriving Saturday or Sunday, On the one hand, I want to avoid all pics and videos to be completely surprised by the brand new toy. On the other hand, that ended in utter disaster for my YF-19. Maybe I'll find a happy medium and go to videos when I;m really stuck on something. Thankfully, between the 19 and my Sentinel Mospeada I have now learned to handle these toys as gently and delicately and possible and never ever use excessive force on anything. This is my first Hi Metal R.....I am a bit surprised by how small it is, It is NOT gonna scale well on a shelf with the YF 19. Quote

So any breakage you may experience with the HMR will not be quite as traumatic as the ones that you experienced with your original DX YF-19. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 i'm perplexed, the white plastic looks kinda cheap in some pics. like some cheap marshmallow ghostbuster. hopeful it's just the lighting. doesn't look as nice as the cover box pics. Quote

borgified Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Think of me! This is the first thing that pops into my mind when you said this.. I admit that some guys don't like musicals.. To each their own I say. I'm actually staring to like the VF-4 after seeing pics of it more being posted and seeing the transformation done by Bandai before the actual release date. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 After watching the transformation video I'm noticing a lot of similarities in design to the VF-25 and VF-31. Quote
F360 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 i'm perplexed, the white plastic looks kinda cheap in some pics. like some cheap marshmallow ghostbuster. hopeful it's just the lighting. doesn't look as nice as the cover box pics. could also be the panel lining not as sharp along with a not so colorful pilot.

jenius Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I ordered mine through CDJ... I suspect they're going to make me wait a bit... seems like they've been a little slower the last few months. Quote
wm cheng Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Has anyone gotten shipping notice on the VF-4? Especially if they ordered it through AmiAmi like I did. Quote
Dobber Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Funny, Bandai can get the Ejection seat Triangles on these tiny HM -R’s bit not the 1/48 lol Chris Quote
Master Dex Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I ordered mine through CDJ... I suspect they're going to make me wait a bit... seems like they've been a little slower the last few months. I think so, I also went with CDJ. Back during the VF-31A release I swear I waited an extra week compared to others (well... Except for the NY people of course). Quote
Penguin sushi Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 If anyone gets an extra vf-4 I wouldn't mind buying one. With practically all the places sold out. I hate how tons of people only wanting to make a few dollars on top of what they paid got them to resell. It has been this way a lot with items and it is getting tiring. Yhey really are not making that much money on what they spend Quote
F360 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Has anyone gotten shipping notice on the VF-4? Especially if they ordered it through AmiAmi like I did. release date is the 23rd JST. Quote
