no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Just checked the photos of my YF-30 and after all this time I didn't notice the SWS on it. Wait... Mine is SMS. Is that a bad thing? Edited May 3, 2016 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Wait... Mine is SMS. Is that a bad thing? It does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It does? Yup. It was placed just like the U.N.Spacy logo on the gunpods. Upside down, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yeah , but if the box art also shows the SWS then they can say it was on purpose or designed that way for the toy . It would be funny if they found out close to release and then just change the art on the box to show SWS instead of SMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm extremely surprised it was never noticed on the 30. It may have been noticed by others before, but not brought up because it wasn't an issue. Like Noel said, it's perfectly acceptable for one of the markings to be "upside down" since it looks like the correct orientation when in fighter mode.

subie81 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) any news about shipping date on hlj? my order is still waiting to be fullfilled. So I e-mailed HLJ regarding the YF-29 the other day and here's what they replied back: Dear #$@!%, Thank you for writing. Unfortunately, the DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie Alto Saotome Custom arrived short. We allocated the stock strictly by chronological order, but the stock ran out before reaching your order. We are afraid we cannot expect it to become available unless other customers cancels their orders. We are not canceling your order for now just in case other customers cancel their orders. If you would not like to wait any longer, please feel free to cancel your orders. We apologize for the inconvenience, but your understanding is appreciated. Thank you for shopping with HobbyLink Japan! Best Regards, Kunihiko Matsugu HobbyLink Japan Apparently there's a shortage of the YF-29 and I won't be getting one unless someone cancels their order. I was part of the May pre-order batch. Oh well. Saves me $145 right there! And the celebrity Owen Wilson did not e-mail me back! I got Kunihiko Matsugu.

no3Ljm Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Ok. So is this the response from the order for 'May Restock'? All the while I know this will get released towards end of May. And that's the reason why they haven't asked for payment yet. Are you inquiring the previous release (like the ones from 2 weeks ago) or this particular restocking for May? From what I understand on the first part of their email is that the stock arrived short. Unless if they're already talking about the May restock stock since it's already May, then probably I will not get a copy as well. I ordered last April 22. Look at the bright side. Just like Subie81 said, saves me $145 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mog_kupo Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think there is a slight chance the shortage its caused by Bandai pulling some of the stock when they realized the shoulder mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I thought that's the reason why the restocking this month? For a corrected shoulder print release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine on April 22nd as well.I asked them if I will be receiving one since the item is now listed as "discontinued" and that's the answer I received. I'm still going to keep my PO, however, as there is a chance I MAY receive one if people cancel their orders per their e-mail. LOL! I'll use that $145 to go toward basketball play off tickets no3ljm since we all know that the Warriors are going to advance to the next round and Rip City is going down tomorrow night in Oakland!!!

The restock hasn't happened, yet. Maybe they misunderstood your email-inquiry and thought your order was from the not-restock inventory, which was OOS on release-date?
