seti88 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) it's packed in there somewhere as there were comments on it... Liking the internals of the open missile pods... Edited August 20, 2017 by seti88 Quote
Mommar Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Man, looking at the photos and seeing all the goofy ways people need to adjust the backpack/wings to make things work in Gerwalk pisses me off. Bandai did not implement the 262 correct. The use of additional braces for the lil drakens in fighter is also BS, they haven't learned a single thing from the 25 Armor/Tornado packs.

Chronocidal Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Or, from the 1/72 kit, which has the locking mechanisms for the wings located all along the outer surface of the legs, so the wingtips pivot freely. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Anybody get a shipping notice from NY yet for the lil drakens? Quote
derex3592 Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I was just about to ask the same question!!! Thet have my Defenders waiting to ship with the Lil Drakens! Haven't heard a thing yet.... Edited August 26, 2017 by derex3592 Quote
wmkjr Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 None yet although BiginJapan shipped their order out on the 20th. Quote

I had totally forgotten about these parts due out end of August. Estimated release date still says the 25th on their website. Hopefully soon! Quote
Loop Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Mine have already shipped to my JP contact from the Tamashii web shop. they showed up last week. Edited August 27, 2017 by Loop Quote
technoblue Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 NY has updated my lil draken and missile pod order to preparation in progress. Quote

sh9000 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Preparation in progress at NY. Coming through Eco SAL. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 NY preparation in progress email here as well this evening for Lil Drakens and Defenders! yaay! Quote
Sandman Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Well looks like n-y is at it again. The lil draken set became available agin tonight. I paid for one. Going through the payment process I noticed a new option for wrapping. 250 yen extra after shipping costs for a choice of 2 different wrappings or a bag option. You don't have to get it but I'm thinking they are going to ship these lil drakens out in the shipper boxes they come in and not an outer box like they have been till now. I hope this isn't true but I'm thinking it is. Quote
ArchieNov Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 That giftwrap option has been around for more than a year. Not sure why you haven't seen it till now. And N-Y will ship it using a shipper box like they always do, regardless if they have their own brown shipping boxes (e.g. Limited items). Quote
Graham Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Also received the order preparation in progress email from NY. Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 NY is demanding an extra $5.50 for shipping on my Lil Drakens.... Quote
Loop Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) What's new lately with NY? Seems the past several releases they have underestimated the size of the packaging. What did they originally charge you for shipping? I swear they should do what HLJ does and give you the shipping charge later when they have the item. Edited August 28, 2017 by Loop Quote
derex3592 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 They haven't yet asked for additional shipping from me, I'll keep an eye on my emails today though! Quote
Mommar Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 The difference may be that I've shipped UPS? Quote

Worry more if they do that on their PF SDF-1 next year. Quote
Boobytrap Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 They didn't ask for anything additional from me. I chose EMS though so hopefully, for me anyway, it's because you had a different delivery method. Quote
dizman Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Got my preparation mail from NY, ordered whatever the cheaper shipping option was and haven't been asked to pay more. Quote
Loop Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I got mine off the Tamashii JP site instead of NY. I did have them do the small price increase on me one time but that was because the box was actually way oversized from Bandai and I didn't mind it all, but we hear about it every time they ship something lately. Quote
Mommar Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Watching that video, the little plastic piece they attach in fighter mode doesn't even really make sense. What does it do exactly? Quote
Mommar Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 From watching two videos it's more and more clear that Bandai totally f**ked up Gerwalk, and that nobody actually seems to know what Gerwalk is supposed to look like (likely thanks to Bandai messing it up.) Quote
spanner Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 got order prep notice from NY but still not posted out yet.. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Mine shipped from NY. No extra fee requested. Quote
anubis20 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 For me the Lil Drakens only work in fighter mode. They kinda look stupid in Gerwalk and Battroid IMO. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I only want the missile attachment on the legs. Dont need the drone, sword and fixed shield Quote
Scream Man Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 I got mine, and i dig the set. The Sword and Shield add a surprising amount to the toy, and definitely makes it worth keeping in Battroid. The missile pods basically complete the plane, Im seriously considering gluing them into place. The Drakens are nice solo pieces. Look cool on their own, look cool with the plane overall. I'm sorry people aren't liking them, but I'm digging it. Hell getting it out even made me get better at transforming the plane back to fighter again Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 NY shipped mine. Didn't ask for extra for shipping but mine was EMS. I personally like the drones attached to the fighter. Initially thought the sv-262 with them attached was a different fighter when I was watching the show. Quote

What does it do exactly? Since the wingtips will be folded for the Lil Drakens, those clear plastic pieces will help to tab in again the wing section back to the leg area for support. And IMHO, that's really a stupid idea. They should've figure this out beforehand. 5 hours ago, anubis20 said: For me the Lil Drakens only work in fighter mode.
