Roy Focker Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Mine is still in Japan cause Sal is cheap and slow. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Looks like this is one that'll sell out, rather than sit and get discounted like the VF-2. Quote

Question about tracking for you guys. I’ve ordered quite a bit of stuff over the years from Japan, mostly using SAL registered which provides a tracking number, but the tracking usually stops at dispatched from outward office and nothing after that. I always get my stuff delivered, but just wondering what’s the point of a tracking number if it tracks just to the outbound office. Quote

In the US you can track SAL shipments through USPS as soon as they hit customs. Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I’m kicking myself for missing those missle regults. Now they’re $400. Not sure I can justify the price for the size. Quote

Guyffon Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Usually, you should be able to track it at your own country’s postal website after it leaves japan and hits your country, thats what I normally do. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Got back to fighter fairly easily today.. Prob gonna panel line this bird tomorrow. Quote
jenius Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Battroid mode question for you guys, flaps down behind the shoulders (like in GERWALK mode) or flaps up? The instructions don't mention pushing them back up but they also don't show them down. Edited March 30, 2019 by jenius Quote
mickyg Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I always go down. I think I got that from the Yam-Cadia though. Quote
Bolt Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I left mine down as it doesn’t seem to impede on articulation. looks like they’re down on the back of the box. You are talking about the flaps below the main rear thrusters, yes? Edited March 30, 2019 by Bolt Quote

Penguin sushi Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I know that the hm regult is really expensive, but has anyone had any experience with the ones from revoltech? Quote
derex3592 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Yes, I have one, it's was ok for it's day, but an old design at this point, and pails in comparison to the HMR. I'd say watch the For Sale threads here, maybe you'll get lucky. Quote
jenius Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I reviewed the revoltech regult here http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=2362 Quote
Pontus Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 34 minutes ago, Penguin sushi said: I know that the hm regult is really expensive, but has anyone had any experience with the ones from revoltech? They're non scale, too small to pair with HMR, the plastic is cheap, and the joints don't hold well. It will pose well enough, but never the way you want. But, for $40 vs $140+ for an HMR, at least I have one regult, so... meh. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 The HMR Regult is way better than the Revoltech one. Quote
easnoddy Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Love the HMR VF-4! A beautifully scaled down version of the Yamato version. It's amazing how great the HMR line is. Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Ugh. Bit the bullet and paid $400 for the missle regults. They’ll announce a rerelease next week. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Man, I'm really glad I got 2 sets of those regults when they were at "retail". $400 is more of a percentage increase than even the 31A. Quote

vlenhoff Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Wow, so the H-M R monster is cheaper than the H-M R missileRegults. [if you get it at Mandarake] Quote
seti88 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) If bandai ever issues a regult scout, the missile variants would be even more expensive for squad completion.. Edited March 31, 2019 by seti88 Quote
sh9000 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 They were TWE and the window was open long for them. My 5 sets were 15580 JPY each. $400 for one set is high. Quote
mapendieck Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Hi all, I just bought the VF-4 from AmiAmi for 12960 yen ($116). just thought i'd send that info out in case anyone still needs one. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scode=FIGURE-043796 my wife made me "Kondo" my toy closet and i ended up selling off a ton of old transformers. enough to get this beaut. so...thanks Marie Kondo.

If you're looking for cheaper Regults, you're best bet would be Toynami's 1/100 Battlepods. They don't have the crazy posability and details of the HMR, but they look decent. If the HMR's don't get a reissue, I can see Toynami's Battelpods going up in price. Quote
