These figures are here because they are in arms reach for my kids to play with. To each his own and more power to you! This not for everyone but we do enjoy it. Nice! My kids have been all over my NewAge figures! They love them! Yeah, our family loves Nightmare Before Christmas too and I do consider myself a Burton fan although some of his choices bug me.

sh9000 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Got in another VF-4G thanks to @Slave IV. I’m going to paint the yellow parts blue. My kid loves Nightmare Before Christmas. It gets requested to watch almost every morning. I’ve met Tim Burton at an Auto Show once when he was checking out the 1989 Batmobile and I’ve been to his exhibit. I have his Romeo and Juliet piece hanging in one of our rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to reuse parts of the HMR Monster to make the one from Macross Zero then I’d be cool with that. Is that VF-0A the one from Wave? I thought it would be taller but it still looks cool.

It is the wave (should be 1/100 If I remember correctly) model. Maybe their scale is not spot on or mostly like it is due to my camera angle. I have the vf-1a wave 1/100 sitting around somewhere. When I build that up, will compare that to the HMR size and see if that one have correct scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they were dragging their feet on this long before COVID was a thing. And they're already TWE to begin with, so there's no risk of shelf warmers to be had. It's hard to imagine a world where they'll release obscure destroids but not supers for valks piloted by named characters. But they wont release stuff for named Zentradi characters (Glaug Eldare, Queadluun-Rau etc) yet released grunt Valkyries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewPoint Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well, I finally caved in and asked Nippon-Yasan about my HMR VF-4G order status this weekend. The last e-mail I received from them was on January 31st. They told me: Quote Date: 2020-05-12 15:04:11 Name: Marine Message: Hello Thank you for your message We apologize if we were unable to send your order upon release of the product. We cannot send the orders in SAL service due to the restriction of Japan post So for the moment, orders are on pause. As soon as we can send again, we will honor your order. Please don't hesitate to send another message if you need anything else. Kind Regards Nippon-yasan.com Customer Service Though the timing of things seems a bit odd, but whatever. I impulsed bought it and its not a "must have" for me. I can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear they responded. Was thinking abt emailing them, but i suspected the lockdown on posting was still a factor. Let's see if it ends up arriving as a christmas valk or not this year.

Matt Random Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I got the same dubious answer from NY when I inquired about the DC Strike Packs that I should have had back in December if NY had their act together. The only difference is that the reply I got had 'ems' as opposed to 'sal'. Funny how things from Amazon Japan don't seem to be affected by this. And for China I still get shipping notices, but it just takes a long time to go from that first notice (label creation) to actually being scanned by the carrier. It seems to me that NY hasn't even created the shipping labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I could be wrong, but i think amazon has their own distribution system, which removes reliance of local post offices, at country send points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavinrac Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The model builder/resin kit pinner on me can't help but think that may be fixable. Wonder if you could get someone with good skills to fix the break for you? (I didn't offer because my skills are middling. They work for static kits, but for a moving joint I might not be there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'd start by pushing the pin out. Once the broken piece is separated it ought to be possible to glue back together more securely without having to worry about freezing the joint.

It may never be the same strength but will totally be functional and proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least drill some holes to let the glue flow into and provide extract strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
