I can imagine some extra aftermarket waterslides might be necessary anyways depending on what they might miss but it'd be nice to have a base set of them. Actually, even GoodSmile website says 'stickers' too. Maybe you can contact them and verify? http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7226/PLAMAX+MF+25+minimum+factory+VF+1+Super+Strike+Gerwalk+Valkyrie.html Quote

I expect I'll be looking down the nose of some photo-etch or 3-d printed improvements for this kit anyhow on top of building some custom lighting. A large scale VF-1 has been on my wishlist forever and I expect to put a lot extra into this build when I finally have a year or two to work on it. Quote

milhouse Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Goodsmile has listed this for release in Jan 2019 Amiami: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-041875 Now if only they would release Figma versions of all the SDF characters... and Plus as well :P Quote

I've had enough of DYRL characters with the CMS and Banpresto lines. I hope some SDF Macross figures get released. So far, the only company working on that is Kitz Concept Quote

milhouse Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 The kit is now delayed to October... as per Goodsmile news: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/post/4771/Release+Dates+and+Changes+for+September+2018+Products+Scale+Figure+Delay+Apology.html and product page: http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7226/PLAMAX+MF+25+minimum+factory+VF+1+Super+Strike+Gerwalk+Valkyrie.html I'm a bit bummed about the delay; however, I guessed it would happen... Goodsmile has been delaying quite a few of their releases as of late... maybe they produce too much for their own good? :P Quote
pafy6285 Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 GSC really expanded theirs lines the past few years, so I think these delays are something to be expected considering that they try to have consistent high quality releases. But between the delay and Bandai's model of limited quantity items or exclusivity, I'll pick the former. Quote
GMK Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 The blog shows CAD of a VF-1A battroid....hmm. Quote

no3Ljm Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Yes. For its backpack’s 3 nozzle size discussion. Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 toco toco channel put up a video profiling Max Watanabe and in it we get a brief glimpse of the landing gear bays of the vanilla VF-1 Quote
pafy6285 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Damn, Gross weight with the brown/carton box is 11.2 kg. Carton box seems to be 5.7kg. Quote
Duymon Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 That is ridiculous..... No joke I may as well just wait until I visit the in-laws and bring a suitcase. Then I can take all the parts off the runners and use my clothing as padding Quote
Mr Jones Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I'm going to go broke shipping this over to Canada .... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I have zero idea where I'm going to put either the box, or the completed model. Quote

tekering Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Suspended from the ceiling is my only option. Something like this... ...but it's hardly ideal. Quote
kajnrig Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Mounting it onto a ceiling fan is obviously the one and only place it was ever designed to be put. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 So, I looked up how much Amazon Japan wanted to ship one of these to me in the US, since their normal shipping is both cheap and fast. They wanted around $400 in shipping. Yup, keeping that CDJ pre-order... Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Just sitting and waiting for that shipping email.... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 CDJ just sent me another email, release pushed back to November. Quote Hi. Thank you for shopping at CDJapan.

Mr Jones Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I'm guessing they're having some problems producing all the big sprues at volume? Disappointing but I can wait heh Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 So while we're getting delayed again, could they at least post the manual online so that we can plan our builds better? I ended up going back and looking through all the available pics of the runners so far. They've actually shown runners for pretty much everything by now except the arms and hands. Unless I missed those. Would very much appreciate if someone posted pics of those runners. Another interesting thing I found is a pretty massive mold redesign for the wing runner over the years of development Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Judging by the extra gates, looks like they ran into some issues with the large parts having bubbles/gaps. Quote
