kkx Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 1 hour ago, F360 said: yup, it's all your fault. ....... not entirely but reasonable enough. For me paypal is easier and have less issues for instock items. direct with creditcard made me lose a nice priced preorder from N-Y.,, They said it was declined and just cancelled my order. And of course they relisted later for higher price. I see. Will be careful in future for anything critical. AmiAmi updated the invoice and I have paid. Hope they will ship out soon. Whew, HLJ is out. I am lucky to have this one. Missed the AJ deal, but AmiAmi is not bad. Quote

As you can see from my cAPs, i was forwarding the video and rushing off when i was replying... The color scheme looks evenly colored so far! 21 hours ago, tekering said: Well, 30 seconds is about all I could take. There's nothing more annoying than watching disingenuous young actors pretending to be excited about something... ...and yet, 90% of Japanese TV is exactly that.

derex3592 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Looks good! Got my shipping notification from AmiAmi this morning! Quote

seti88 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Moar pics! https://twitter.com/kamiyafactory/status/1119560392420675584 I wonder how good it would look like if the shot below was recreated? Quote
EmilianoAlfaro Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Is there no minmay for the seat? At least it's not a disaster like vt-1 painting, good job bandai! You know how to color a model evenly. Edited April 20, 2019 by EmilianoAlfaro Quote
seti88 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 No seated minmay... if you don’t mind put the super O’s minmay in the seat instead Quote

Not gonna complain though, they are giving us "telescopic" seats. Ha one more seat to have Minmei sitting, now that i think about it. It would be cool if they gave us standing or kneeing Hikarus too.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 From the photos I’m seeing so far, it appears that the orange parts on the VF-1D (chest, legs, and maybe head) are actually molded plastic instead of paint, so I’d bet they look better than the VT-1. I’m looking forward to recreating the TV version of this pair: Quote
rocketblast Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 I just finished purchasing 10 Macross Hi-Metal R VF-1D valkyries to keep for a while. I was hoping they would come out with this in 1/55 but you gotta love the Hi-Metal R line. Easy to transform, good details, nice size. So far one has shipped, my Amazon order of 4 which was a GREAT deal thanks to the poster is being processed. Pretty good stuff. Quote

Smiley424 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 VF-1D is looking good! I have mine ready to ship from Anime Export, but I'm waiting on the DX Chogokin VF-1 Missile Set coming out next month and will ship them together. I already email them, but does anyone know how long Anime Export will hold items? Quote
sh9000 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 It’s been a while so I’ve forgotten which HM or HMR VF-1 can have the fuselage to easily detach. It would be nice if the VF-1D can do it but if it can’t then I’ll still do it with one of my spares. Quote

seti88 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 https://twitter.com/erobos1/status/1119609002508181505 Bandai got the color mix right this time with the vf-1D...seems more saturated Quote
rdrunner Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Just now, seti88 said: https://twitter.com/erobos1/status/1119609002508181505 Bandai got the color mix right this time with the vf-1D...seems more saturated Very nice and thanks for the side-by-side comparisons! Not nit-picking but it still looks as though the backpack's shade of orange is a tad brighter than the rest of the body on the 1D, not sure if it's just the lighting. And not sure which is canon - but only the centre part of the back cover was painted orange in Yamato's 1D, not the whole piece. I just checked my Super O and the back cover was painted in two colours - why the step back, Bandai? Quote
rdrunner Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) (edited) and I just realized that the shape of the back cover are different between the 1D and the super O. Dammit. Edited April 20, 2019 by rdrunner Quote

I’ve had items there for well over a year before I shipped and they all arrived in perfect condition when I eventually got them. Quote
vlenhoff Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Hikaru looks great in his jumpsuit, even at this scale! I am so pumped, I am watching ep2, countdown right now... And to think i was going to pass on this. In fact, I got the Superostrich because was exited about this... and it was a good price. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 Looks like TV pilots are the same size as DYRL pilots now. Quote
Dobber Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 I would love to see a good profile comparison of the nose between the standard single seat and this 2 seater. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like they pulled a Yamato on us and just moved the rollbar slightly forward and made it vertical. Chris Quote

I have been waiting for some SAL shipments from nin nin and mandarake and they are taking forever to reach New York ISC for some reason. It’s not even golden week yet. I’m just going to have to be patient, but I hope at least something will arrive in the next two weeks. Quote

The Orange of the chest plate appears duller than the painted orange. My CD Japan order is also in "In Shipping Process." Quote
