seti88 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Nice pics gundam ...btw you forgot to pull up the back of the leg covers... Quote
sh9000 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 The VF-4 is looking good @Gundam@EFSF. My VF-4 got bumped up to coming in tomorrow. Cool. Quote
ArchieNov Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) After transforming mine for the first time, I must say that if the Japanese reviewer wasn't able to lock the chest firmly in place for battroid, then he was doing it wrong. It locks pretty solidly in place, though I can imagine someone accidentally missing the step where you push the top part of the chest forward after pressing it down over the cockpit. P.S. - I still think battroid looks ugly Edited March 25, 2019 by ArchieNov Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Anyone need one of these VF-4? Seems I had an extra PO'd at amiami they just emailed about. don't think i want 2. you ccould have it at my cost. I don't know if amiami allows me to just ship directly though or if i''d have to take it and just ship to you after (which would cost more obviously). anyone know? haha Quote

What I meant to say is that at least Some of the CDJ orders shipped. I see Mommar's hasn't yet. I've only got one coming. Strangely, I got the notification yesterday but the tracking info via JP Post shows it shipped on the 23rd. Hopefully that's the same case for some other folks still waiting for CDJ shipping notification. Quote
rdrunner Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Even nin nin game had sent me a shipping notification with tracking number... let’s see how the item turns out when I get it. Quote

sh9000 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Email from NY stating that the release date of the VF-1D is changed from 4/30 to 4/20. Quote
borgified Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Listing for the HMR VF-4 from Manda at 13k yen already gone! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1108591535&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9&lang=en Quote
anubis20 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Really happy with how the 4G turned out. There was some talk on one review about something being loose but I had no problems. The knee joints and the back leg fillers were super tight on my copy. If I had one gripe is how the pilot fits in it. It almost looks like he passed out in the cockpit Edited March 26, 2019 by anubis20 Quote

HardlyNever Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Got an email from NY claiming the VF-1D release date is now 4/20. No notice from AmiAmi, though. Quote
sumyumgoy Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Great pics everyone! Looking forward to receiving mine. Quote
F360 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Officials release date for the vf-1d is on 4/20 posted on tamashii website https://tamashii.jp/item/12790/ Quote
Tking22 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Wow, the Hi-Metal R VF-4 looks leaps and bounds better then the old Yamato/Arcadia version, that version just looks cheap and basic now. I'm excited for mine, I may even grab a second, and yes Bandai, bring on the TWE M&M versions, I'll buy those too. Quote

The knee joints and the back leg fillers were super tight on my copy. Does it feel like there may be a need to initially be careful so as not to break any joints? The VF-1 shoulders tended to be really tight and needed to be turned slowly until they loosened up a bit. Quote
RDX17 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Still puzzled as to why nothing was scheduled for release between the VF-1D (April) and the Soltick H8RF (July) for the HMR line. Here's hoping there's an announcement in the near future, as this silence makes me nervous. Quote

The VF-1 shoulders tended to be really tight and needed to be turned slowly until they loosened up a bit. Not really, the knees are tight but not to the point were you are stressing anything out. Funny enough the fighter and battroid adapters work extremely well and I found them a littlew tough to get off. Quote
Boobytrap Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 MK finally sent me the preparation in progress email. If they were charging me for it on the 16th it sure would have been nice if they sent it out a little sooner. At least there are some nice pictures in here to tide me over. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Mine arrived from AmiAmi via DHL this morning and is waiting on my porch for me when I get off work today! EDIT -- I must say, mad props to DHL for the easy way to skip the signature required thing and the guy actually reading where I requested he leave the package. Spot on DHL.

Vifam7 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Mine arrived from Amazon JP today. The package is much smaller than I thought it would be - which is good as I'm running out of places to store all these boxes. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Got my Amazon.jp copy today as well. That was fast! Quote
