DX Chogokin YF-29 (Alto) Durandal Valkyrie - Reissue

[no3Ljm]

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?

It does?

[no3Ljm]

It does?

Yup. It was placed just like the U.N.Spacy logo on the gunpods. Upside down, right?

[F360]

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.

[Mr Bomber]

im a victim too on my YF-30.

but it should have being spotted earlier, the tampo mistake its even on the box art!!

[Kanedas Bike]

That's hilariously awesome.

I'm gonna check my 30 when I get home, never really paid attention.

-b.

[no3Ljm]

Imagine if you have multiples of this. And one of them has a correct right-reading SMS on the shoulder fin.

[wmkjr]

One dude that handles all tampo printing on the left shoulder and his on saki ALL DAY!

Hahaha! You only got ONE job! lol!

[jenius]

Wow, mine is upside down also, who knew?

[in2seconds]

eBay: 1000$ ULTRA RARE YF-30 w/ correct SMS markings on right shoulder

It wouldn't see the light of the day

[Mr Bomber]

i say let make a joint lawsuit to bandai for this tampos and get rich(or get all valks) in the process XD lol

[Bub]

LOL this thread is making everyone check their 30.

Mine has it. The SWS club membership just got larger...

Heheheh. Sorry for for hijacking this thread. It was just a comparison with the YF-29 reissue shoulder misprint problem.

[barurutor]

maybe the mods can move the YF-30 SWS check posts to the YF-30 thread?

[mechaninac]

Well I'll be a monkey's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, my YF-30 also has SWS on its left canard/shoulder panel...

[yman1437]

Emailed cdj twice about the tampon issue, 4/28 and 5/2...no response

Third email sent

[ErikElvis]

I'm extremely surprised it was never noticed on the 30.

[iguanaman8989]

Probably not until the end of the month.

[ArchieNov]

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.

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,

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.

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.

[mog_kupo]

I think there is a slight chance the shortage its caused by Bandai pulling some of the stock when they realized the shoulder mistake

[no3Ljm]

I thought that's the reason why the restocking this month? For a corrected shoulder print release.

Yup. This is for the May restock. 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!!!

I'm a little confused here.

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?

looking at my 30's I think having the logo flipped on one side kinda works actually! Seeing they are always visible regardless of what ever mode you're in then they are easily readable.. or at least that's the way I see it..

[Alberich]

Well my PO is also from april 23... lets see what happen with this, I can wait to see if I can get one. If not well i will get something else from another shop as I'm still missing almost all the DX releases

yeah i figured that too spanner.

[anubis20]

Im just waiting on the shoulder piece so i can ship my PW everything that i had ordered for May already came in and that damn piece is delaying everything.

[Garfinkel]

I ordered this for the May reissue but it has disappeared from my hlj orders list. Had anyone else had this. I guess i am beat off sourcing this separately as hlj have given up.

[Sandman]

That's sucks. They should of emailed you at least to let you know.

My order is still on. You should email hlj about that.
