Oooh, that's this weekend? Awesome, thanks for the head up. Looks like Ami is going to be hitting me up for some yen. Hope that tax check comes soon! Quote

There was a display with the other variants as well. Edit: Maybe a CF, Alaska Base, Angel Birds in the near future.

Sanity is Optional Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I just hope that they don't use those Max/Miria schemes. I much prefer the ones from the master file that are white underneath rather than red/blue all over. Edited February 13, 2020 by Sanity is Optional Quote

Aaadriiann Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Hacchaka's Fokker VF-4G Review is up! http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/52053562.html Quote
Mommar Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Hmm, Amazon Japan just sent me an e-mail saying it was shipping earlier than expected and now shows the 19th-20th. But everybody here is saying this weekend. And Hacchaka already has his. Quote

I think the displayed shcemes are a good modification of the M3 game versions: TBH I prefer Bandai's take over the VF-4 Masterfile Version, which are actually Periwinkle Blue, and Pink undersides, respectively. Regardless, they're gonna get me for 2 more VF-4s if they release the Max/Miria Set... but Roy never flew one, so keep trying Bandai! 2 hours ago, Bolt said: Ya, umm.. they also teased a Tomahawk.. Indeed... What's the holdup on that I wonder? Edited February 13, 2020 by slide Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Eh, I prefer looking good over accuracy to on-screen appearance. Quote

Roy Focker Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Does it come with a tiny little me figure well dressed up like a Zombie? Quote
seti88 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Haha you would need to mod it to be a zombie...just chew on the pilot fig and put him back in... Quote
Slave IV Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 How dare NY ask for payment for this thing 10 days early and then be one of the first to ship out? I thought they always want money months in advance to purposefully screw people and then wait over a year to ship? For me, I don't care but it looks like mine shipped from NY too. I'll also take the M&M decos the way they were shown on display or any other variant. I definitely don't care about accuracy to some book art or whatever either as long as they end up looking good.

505thAirborne Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Just got a "payment received" email from HLJ for the Roy HMR VF-4G. I guess AmiAmi will be right around the corner for the other one. Update: AmiAmi just asked for a payment as well. Edited February 14, 2020 by 505thAirborne Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 The master file M&M VF-4's are the best I've seen, but I've still yet to see a truly good M&M VF-4 scheme. (the problem with the master file, is that the weapons are used as a main accent color---if it fires all the conformal missiles, then there's almost no white left to break up the red/blue, and it's as bland as the M3 scheme, from above or from the sides) (M3 has amazing schemes for most of them, but they really dropped the ball on the 4 and 5000) Quote

Just got my email from Amiami for payment due by the 21st at 7am JST and picked something else as well, then SAL Registered shipping after that. I'll be getting two packages from Amiami hopefully next month just one week apart from each other. Quote
nathans82 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Just got charged by Hobby Search and Amazon Japan for HMR Roy VF-4G. Now to just wait for it to arrive. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Looks alright. I don't like the color arrangement around the chest intakes. If it's supposed to be Roy's colors, shouldn't the chest stripe be black and the area behind it be yellow? Oh well I'll wait and see how I feel about it when I have it in hand. Not sure I'll bother putting any extra work into this one. Quote
Bolt Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I like it. Looks great. Should call it anniversary scheme. Quote

Not sure I'll bother putting any extra work into this one. Yeah, the chest intakes are the weakest part I think, with the weird jagged yellow tail tips a close second. I might strip them down, but if the main plastic color is the same, I may just swap parts in and out with another version. Quote

Doesn't seem like it's in too many hard to paint places. Quote

Cant wait to get mine! Pictures look great but from a personal perspective Bandai seems a bit bland and lazy. All the brown is very overpowering and muted the true impact of the Roy color scheme. Definitely skipping this. Just my two cents. Quote

Mazinger Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Interesting that it's a space scene. Reminiscent of Asteroids, or the beautiful painting painting style of Atari posters. Those asteroids better not mess with the Megaroad, they got blackholes to explore! Edited February 14, 2020 by Mazinger Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 New estimated delivery date: 2020/02/18 - 2020/02/21 That's what mine reads as. Did you place the order direct with Amazon, and not with a 3rd party seller on Amazon? Quote
