Convectuoso Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Great. I didn't know they were doing that. Thanks Quote

Jungle's international front page mentions that all International Shipping is suspended due to the outbreak of the virus. Unless you want to defy orders and pick up stuff yourself @Stranger and screw the Prime Directive. There is the possibility that you may carry the virus yourself even you don't show the systems physically. That's why there is so many cases being positive these past few days/weeks and the numbers are growing each day. Quote

Their front page says that several shipping methods such as EMS have been suspended, but FedEx Priority, DHL, and Japan Post Surface are all still shipping to the US. And I don't see anywhere that says they are suspending their 45 day time limit. I just had an issue with them over shipping fees, and you would think that they would have mentioned waiting for EMS to open up again would be 1 solution if that was the case. In addition, when they shipped me something last week, they said I had 30 days to pay the packing/shipping fee before my time was up. Quote
vladykins Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Oh, I did definitely already pay in advance for shipping. They did indicate that ordinarily they don't allow adding on to orders for combined shipping, but since the stuff is still sitting there, then they are happy to do so. Quote
Draykov Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) This may be a long shot, but...back in Feburary, I ordered the VF-1S 35th Anniversary Messer color version from Mandarake. Item arrived in fine shape. I did, however, experience what I believe to be a manufacturer packing error. The Messer should presumably come with 2 different sets of non-articulated head lasers: 1 narrowly spaced set on a sprue (see below), and 1 widely spaced set mounted on the head in battroid mode. Well, in my case, my VF-1S had mismatched lasers on its head. So I now have 3 narrow and 1 wide set of head lasers. Anybody (trustworthy) in the US in a position to do a straight trade? The proposal: I send you a "like new" set of narrow set of H-MR VF-1S head lasers from my Messer you send me a "like new" set of wide H-MR VF-1S head lasers from your Messer (it's the only H-MR VF-1S I own, so I wasn't sure if the white shade is different from other S variants) If this sounds appealing, PM me and we'll see if we can work out the details.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 I don’t own a Messer, but believe the white plastic is unique to that version. Other HMR VF-1S head lasers are gray. The original Hi Metal 1S is closer, but still off white, and also sculpted differently. If Bandai had decided to give us a true TV version VF-1S in HMR, that white color would have been perfect.

I think the HMRs come closer to 1/90 scale IIRC, so a 1/100 might shrink down like that but is still likely a bit small. I'd have to go back and run the numbers. Quote
Stranger Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 So, has Bandai given any hints on when the next release will be announced? Covid wouldn't make all toy companies put their plans on pause right? I am hoping for (in this order): Q-Rau armor, Battlepod Scout, Tomahawk, Monster. Hell - I'd throw this out there - how cool would a 1/100 SDF head/bridge be? Can recreate some nice scenes. Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 I want to say they teased the scout in the last year as well. Quote

vlenhoff Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) This group shot needs more cowbell... or Tomahawk... Maybe this is a better angle. Edited August 1, 2020 by vlenhoff Quote

seti88 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Was there a tease of the Q-Rau in HMR? Am thinking the scout would have more of a chance of being released first as it was just teased last year. Quote
vladykins Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 No tease of Q-Rau, just a lot of hopeful dreams. Scout was teased potentially with 1S re-release: Quote

The Phalanx and the Tomahawk where teased however Bandai decided to pull the plug in releasing it. Quote

LMAO!!!....Bandai has made no such plug pulling....also there was a N-Ger prototype, just like the Tomahawk and Phalanx....just because they have not been released doesn't mean they won't Quote
MKT Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Sigh... after what seems like the greatest destroid & Zentraedi mecha line that is well on its way to completion, now it's turning into one of the longest blue-balls line. Quote
