Seriously speaking, is NY going to majorly piss off people even more and embezzle their $$$ for illegal money laundering?? Quote
HayateAltoHunter Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Delivery from nin-nin just arrived, good condition and packaging. Quote
Lolicon Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Head sensors are all clear parts instead of some being painted. Very nice. Quote

sh9000 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Mine got bumped up to arriving today from Amazon JP. Hopefully no huge hole or dent in their awesome shipping box. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Just opened mine and it looks gorgeous with the matte finish. I need to transform it and make sure there are no issues, but if it's in great shape, I'm receiving a second one today via DHL that I sell sealed here on the board. Quote

ridgebacks Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Wow, Amazon japan ships fast. Placed an ordr on 19th, got it in 21st. Now it replaced my Isamu's 29's position. The matt paint looks duper great compare to the old glossy 29's. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I'm keeping mine in fighter as well. Can't wait to place it on a Yeti!! I'll throw pics in as soon as I have a chance in the next few days. Quote

I'll throw pics in as soon as I have a chance in the next few days. Do you have the link to yeti stand's website? I think I will buy one because when I took down my Isamu 29 from it, I noticed there's a bit of paint chipped off from the stand tip (the paint chipping is underneath the metal bar that connect the cockpit with the lower body) after put it on the stand for a year. I've tried to google it but all I found is mic boom. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Here's some pics of mine. I also had an old one on the shelf I pulled down for some comparison shots. Yeah, the nose-wheel on the old one will bend that far back, while the new one stops at 90-degrees. Also the new one's head lasers won't sit in the grooves properly, tried pulling the ball-joints out a bit but no joy. Might be stuck that way, or just need a transformation.

Lolicon Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Shoulder blocks on mine have paint scraped off right out of the box. Some things never change. Quote

borgified Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Edit post due to @DYRL VF-1S has beaten me to the punch! Have you tried Fightpose stands @ridgebacks? Edited October 22, 2020 by borgified Quote

It looks like he is using Flightpose in his pics above and mentioned he got the infamous paint chipping off because of the stand. I'll be very happy if/when @ChaoticYeti gets his shop back up and running. Quote
borgified Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I looked again and @ridgebacks is using the larger pylons on it. Is there away to coat the plastic nubs on the Flightpose pylons with clear nail polish before putting on whatever that you have for display? Quote

Only thing is it makes the tips lose a lot a friction. Edited October 22, 2020 by Slave IV Quote
sh9000 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Mine arrived a couple of hours ago but I already left work. I’ll pick it up tomorrow. Quote
HardlyNever Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Had a chance to open mine and transform it to Gerwalk. Unfortunately, I have also been Bandai'd: I have both the split left shoulder issue that the Japanese buyer had (the right shoulder has a similar issue, just not as noticeable), and the head laser issue @Sanity is Optional has. It's a shame, too, because otherwise the toy looks great. Neither issue completely ruins the toy (the shoulders still work fine, just look bad). But we really should not be getting this poor of quality control at this price point. Sigh... Bandai Quote
Grey728 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 @HardlyNeverI'm curious if those head lasers are on ball pegs and if so, could you put them on the other side of the head and see if that corrects the issue? Quote

They are on ball joints. From a direct side-by-side it looks like the ball-joint is on a shorter post from the head-lasers than it is on the first release, so they splay out wider. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Well, in my case it's easy enough to swap in the old head-lasers, and stick the new ones onto the old toy. So I could just stick the old ones on whichever one I want to display in Fighter/Gerwalk. Quote

Tekering screwed me by posting pics of his Kakizaki about 5sec after they were released. I really liked the green when I saw it not in advertising photo's. So I took the last shelf available in my Macross cabs and made it into a DYRL/Skull Squadron shelf. And that's all she wrote. I have a little more room, but I don't have any room for wholesale changes. Part of me is relieved. I'm safe until I get a bigger house (too much sunlight in the rest of my current house to display more tpys). Quote
