modelglue Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Just a heads up for those who missed out on the VF-31A Hasegawa fighter, HobbySearch just sent me a payment request for my reservation of the re-release. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10472150 Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Just sent a payment to AmiAmi for three VF-31A kits, now waiting for HLJ. Quote
kajnrig Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I had to cancel my order with HLJ, unfortunately. If they're still available in a month or so, I'll snag a third kit, but for now I'll have to be satisfied with the two I got the first time around. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 And HLJ has now taken their money too, going to need more display space for these guys! Quote
mickyg Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I somehow ordered two from HLJ. If I can cancel one without a penalty, I will. Otherwise for you Australia for, I may have a spare for sale soon. And I might even do one up for someone who's willing to pay a bit more for it. Quote

If it's private warehouse, they accept no-penalty cancellations within a period of stocking. Contact customer service. Outside of that period it's just a restocking fee. Quote
Urashiman Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Just got my VF-31a payment notice from HLJ, too. Shipping should start the next days. Quote

If it's still not paid, you can still cancel it in your account page. But if it's already paid and went to your Private Warehouse, assuming you did that, then you have 10 days to get a 100% refund. Beyond that it will deduct restocking fee and the rest will be store credit. Here's detail info from their Terms and Conditions page. Quote Private Warehouse Cancellations Private Warehouse items can be returned as long as they have not entered shipping processing. Returns requested within 10 days of the date the item entered payment processing are eligible for a 100% refund. Such refunds may be returned to the original payment source, or as HLJ store credit, at the preference of the customer. Returns requested after more than 10 days have passed since the original payment date are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Such refunds can only be provided as HLJ store credit. If a Private Warehouse item enters automatic shipping and payment is not received for the shipment, the item will be cancelled and returned to stock, and the customer will receive 85% of its cost as store credit.

mickyg Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks Noel. My concern is due to the fact my account is set to a billing agreement. As soon as it's available, it is purchased automatically. Normally that's how I want it because I don't have to think about it and log in and pay. This time though, I completely forgot I'd already pre-ordered it in December. Either way, sounds like I'm safe. This one hit my PW over the weekend. So I'm still in the 10 day window. Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 First three have arrived! The VF-31A is just plain awesome! Fingers crossed that Hasegawa does a Battroid kit like they did for the VF-0. Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I know everyone's still very excited about the VF-31A, and I know the scheduled 35th Anniversary VF-31 still hasn't been released yet, but I must admit I'm growing impatient - waiting for news on subsequent VF-31 releases. Would at least like some confirmation that the VF-31F, VF-31S, and hopefully VF-31E are on the way. Some Super VF-31s would be nice too. Quote

Unless a member here works directly for Hasegawa and authorized to spill a bean, your guess is just as good as everyone else. Quote

I know. I was just grumbling out loud. Since Bandai didn't complete the 5 fighter set, I'm relying on Hasegawa to do so. Quote
seti88 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Well, some folks in JP have been customising their J's for the rest of the platoon... just enjoy the pics whilst we wait! Quote
ivorysniper Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 VF-31F pictures are now out on http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65844/. They came out sooner than expected. Quote
kajnrig Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 In case anyone's interested, i'm getting rid of a spare Kairos and spare VF-10EF/A. $30 + shipping, $40 max OBO http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45691-model-kits-vf-31a-vf-19efa/ Quote
ivorysniper Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Boxart for the VF-31F + Lil's Drakens is now posted on Hasegawa's Japanese website. Quote

kajnrig Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Just caught this courtesy of the folks who run Macross Central on Facebook. VF-31C Makina Nakajima colors. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65845/ Late September release, 4600 JPY Edited July 2, 2018 by kajnrig Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 So it costs 800 yen more than a regular VF-31 because of the mobile game AR crossover? Quote
kajnrig Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 No, it's 800 yen more for the oppai tax. I mean, it's kind of right there in the number. 8. 00. That's like... oppai squared. ...anyway, preorder link: https://hlj.com/product/HSG65845 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4608 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10546913 And while I'm at it, the regular Hasegawa VF-31C is still available: https://hlj.com/product/HSG65840 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4350 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10486644 Quote
Focslain Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Hoping this gets a pre-order on CDJapan, if not guess it's time to bite the bullet on the VFG as well. Quote

Might get this one if Hasegawa includes a big water decal of Ms. Nakajima I can use to dress ELINT radar dishes like the custom Catseye @PetarB did years ago. Always liked that idea.

If so, are there any others like this in the movie? Or is this made up for the model kit line? Quote

The design showed up (along with 4 others, apparently) in the Walkure 3rd Live "Walkure Won't Betray You" concert this past February. Seems like it's also an available skin or something in the mobile game Uta Macross. The paint scheme was designed by Hidetaka Tenjin himself (Google Translate translates his name as Takami Hidetori).

OK then I hope the other similar designs show up as kits later. Quote
Lord_Of_Tetris Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Question: Are these kits all one color of plastic? If so...which color? The VF-31 are far more colorful than, say, the VF-0, YF-19, and YF-21, which (heh) just happen to be the Hasegawa kits I've built. I love the outcome of the model kit, but I'm not an expert modeler at all, and I found it quite frustrating that all the plastic was the same color. If the VF-31 is also all one color, and most of the colors are the result of DIY painting, this would be a major deciding factor in whether or not I get one. Quote
Darth Mingus Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 All the hasegawa kits are molded in a single colour. See the parts pictures in the following links: VF-31F: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10531055 VF-31A: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10472150 VF-31J (Anniversary): https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10514611 VF-31J: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10460298 VF-31C: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10486644 The kits come with water slide decals to replicate some of the colourful parts but some painting is required. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Thanks for the links, I pre-ordered some more of the VF-31A kits. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 These models are not snap on model like Bandai. "Some Painting is required" is downright a lie. Painting is required, in some case, masking and painting is required Glueing/plastic welding parts together is required. Quote

slide Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 it says "order stop" when I check hlj now Quote
