At least it's coming EMS, since I had some other stuff waiting. No word on the second one I ordered from CDJapan. Mine from CDJapan has "shipping in progress" but no email yet Quote
borgified Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I have a feeling that someone here will be taking comparison pics of the HMR VF-4 and the 1/60 Yamacadia VF-4. Note: At least the HMR will not have parts falling off upon doing the transformation sequence. Edited March 23, 2019 by borgified Quote

I went to 信和 in my recent visit but was rather disappointed. BTW $103 US ($800 HKD?) seems like a fairly good price to me. Sino is good, but u should also go to CTMA n Ins point too, with in 500m Quote

treatment Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 taken over at TD-forum already panel-lined his HMR VF-4, it seems... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=275997&pid=7907606 Quote
derex3592 Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I'm prob in the minority here, but I still like the Yamarcadia paint scheme better....that tan in the middle of the Bandai just looks odd to me, I know it's accurate to FB 2012, but still... Quote

The 1:60 VF-4 just looks too plain, especially the nosecone. Time to break out the waterslide decals! Quote
onnasake Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Just watched the Chinese quick review in this thread again. He left the landing gear cover on when he converted it to Battroid, so I thought "yeah it does seem odd that I'm the only one doing this." So I put it back in place, reassembled Batttroid, and once again, everything snaps in nice and tight. No loose floppiness. Obviously, I was doing something wrong earlier, which seems to be my "thing" when it comes to these toys. My only problem with this is how much I'm freaking enjoying it. Suddenly......I want more in this scale. More...more... Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 my happy meal vf-4 shipped from CDjapan. Quote
mickyg Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Same here. Looks like today's the day for CDJ. Well, at least some... Quote

Well, at least some... how many did you order? i usually get one HMR but this one i got 2 since we waited so long for this color scheme update: my amazon one just shipped too Edited March 25, 2019 by davidwhangchoi Quote
jenius Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 It looks like cdj was late on sending notices and they shipped yesterday. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 No notice from CDJ. I actually sent them an email 4 days ago asking to change the shipping method. They only just now replied saying it's in shipping progress now and can't be changed. Gotta love how ass backwards many Japanese companies still are. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) looking at the video review i like the yamato color better. the white looks cheap. the brown they messed up and made too light. looks like some human substance. the 1/60 mass 1a feet were a darker brown. i'd prob would've like it that dark to almost black. i prob need it in hand to judge but that's just going off the pics and videos i've seen so far Edited March 25, 2019 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Master Dex Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Also got shipping notice from CDJapan. Now the wait begins! Quote
Mommar Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 CDJ has had my three sitting in Shipping Processing for days. No actual shipping info. for me yet. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Shipping notices received from CDJ and Amazon.jp, today; of course AJP's will arrive shortly, while CDJ's will take several weeks. Quote

They can be late a sending notices , the other way you can use to check is by looking at your cdjapan reward points , when they ship your order , you will see the purchase reward points added to your account. The issue date is suppose to be the same date they shipped out your package. take a look at your reward points , mobile mode does not show issue date , only desktop mode . Quote
sh9000 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 One VF-4 out of the seven that I ordered should be arriving Wednesday. Can’t wait. Quote

tekering Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 So, taking inspiration from the HMR, I've started giving my 1:60 VF-4 the "Premium Finish" treatment... However, I have a question concerning the markings on the HMR. What does the "SDF-018" on the vertical stabilizers refer to? Quote

On the cover of an issue of Macross Chronicle, it doesn’t have any markings. On the Master File book, it says Megaroad-01. I don’t think SDF-018 is the Megaroad’s call sign. Bad, Bandai. Quote
F360 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 hmm, the wave 1/72 vf-4 model kit seems to have the same "SDF-018" at the tail. Quote
onnasake Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe at one point is was supposed to be SDF-01B and got confused? Sorry....I'm useless...I have no idea how that kind of stuff and aviation works. Quote

sh9000 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) @Major Focker your VF-4 x2 has shipped from Amiami. @ScrambledValkyrie your VF-4 has shipped from Amiami. Edited March 25, 2019 by sh9000 Quote
Blknblumark Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Mine shipped! Ordered on Saturday and it will be here tomorrow according to DHL. Which is weird since looking at email traffic over the weekend, Amazon couldnt authorize my card for payment at first but then could and i didnt call anybody. Trying to decide if i need to 'work' from home tomorrow... Quote
sh9000 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I think from now on I’m going to buy at least 1 HMR release from Amazon JP if it is available to get it earlier and my multiples at NY. Looking forward to the VF-1D next. Quote
