no3Ljm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey guys i got my payment notice too! Just wondering if you guys know if the Silvie Macross II toy will eventually have a SAP pack release? or are the Faierie and NEX SAP packs compatible with this one? At this point, it's too early to tell if there's going to be an official SAP Parts only release. But from what we saw on those photos, it's safe to assume that the upcoming SAP packs from the Faerie and Nexx releases will also be compatible to Silvie's.

UN Spacy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Well since mine is bundled with the Hi-Metal Regults at AmiAmi I won't be able to do a review until the end of the month. LOL. It's all good...I bet VEEF is working on his right now anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Didn't Renato preordered this? If so, he should be the first here to review it for us. Otherwise, Graham should get his copy soon and will review it for how it is like he used to roll in MWF... Well you can certainly expect a video review from me as soon as I get mine (I ordered from HLJ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Paid for mine at AmiAmi, I suppose I'll get it on Monday. Haven't gone into a high end Macross purchase blind like this since Bandai started the DX Frontier line. Hopefully it's a better experience than that...

SuperDimensionalDave Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) First review is already up. Looks like exactly what I've been expecting to receive. Not line art nor anime perfect, Not Yamato/ Arcadia and certainly not Bandai quality. But I haven't seen Yamato/Arcadia's nor Bandai's VF-2SS yet since they don't exist so I won't complain about it. From what I could glean this is still not the final product and It seems the hinges, knees landing gear and ankles are diecast and the eyesore screws and hinges on the tailfins will be painted white on final version. I like how the wings can cant upwards. http://s.ameblo.jp/digitamin/entry-12085022976.html Edited February 17, 2016 by SuperDimensionalDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) That older review made me almost press the panic button. Almost. HLJ Payment Request received. Much to my excitement, I went to check this thread before paying hoping there's somebody already posted a link on reviews. Only to feel the same thing when I checked that 'old' link. Hahaha! The only regret here is that HLJ keeps on bothering me about my 60 days old VF-0S in their Private Warehouse. Instead of me saving a little dough now I have to wait for some late Feb purchases before shipping this one. Oh well.

Scyla Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think the box-art is the best aspect of the toy. I really like it.... except ugly hinges are ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I ever even posted in this thread?? The only thing that looks good to me about this release is the box design, man... Thanks, but include me OUT of this mess...

Duymon Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm going to pick one of these up when I'm in Japan in early March. Pretty sure it's going to look Much better after some light grey panel lines and a flat-coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 hmmm. It's 9am in Japan right now, but no early review of this as of yet. Toysdaily's forum and vf2ss-thread don't have any updates, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I like the design, in a lot of ways it looks like a more organic evolution of the VF1 than any of the designs that came after SDFM. The toy just looks......cheap. And it's not cheap....but it looks......cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I like it from certain angles (like the ones in the photos above.....haha), but I really wanna hear about how well it locks together in the three different modes. I'm preying it's not a froppy mess. Well, I've paid HLJ. So now begins the agonizing wait for the snails at HLJ to actually get it out of the door.
