But I have my own VF-1S to look at. While I was waiting for NY to ship all I got was boxed pictures. Since I'll be waiting on NY again I'm hoping for lots of lovely photos to make my wait even more unbearable.

I don't take pretty pictures. But I'll take some.

Hi~ Guys!

 

I have a question.

The missiles for DX YF-19 are compatible with

DX VF-1?

Is there anyone who has ever tried this?

When the strike packs start arriving I hope we get more than just pictures of people's boxes.

Maybe @Lockdowngot it since he posted it first.

Same here. Shows as available, lets you add to cart, but after logging in, it errors out saying stock not available.

I got the same as well... Is Amiami seriously trolling with us?  

[Lockdown]

No, I didn’t get it this time. I canceled mine 2 weeks ago or so. Since it was my 2nd preorder... 

The preorder night took me few tries and patience for each steps, I was thinking it was frozen but it was not it was just super slow, it took like 4-5 min to process each step of the preorder... if I remember right, that night, it was showing no stock available few times as well but then got through...

Good luck ; )

Going to pass for now.. To those that want another copy of Hikaru's 1s, hope that you get it.  

[Tenbatsu]

The link was available since 12 hours ago. It won't let you check out thou. I contacted AmiAmi about it, they stated that they have no stock and it's an error on their page.

Thanks man, yeah obviously the zentradi was a little more exciting than the VF-1S

Smart kid. 

Just add some markings and the Yamato is easily on par with the Bandai. And those lovely white landing gear!

Done.  This establishes immediate dominance of Yamato for all time.

It is known.

[F360]

I think the main reason the kid picked Yamato is due to the weight .  The Bandai might be too heavy to move or play with .

I will take Bandai DX over Yammarcadia any day.  It's hard to argue with a 3-month old, I get it, but minus a few grails that Yammie put out, I love the tampo-riddled, meaty "Chunky Monkey" feel of the DX.  No decals and chunky?  Yes please.

I agree I'll take the DX every time. I do think Yamato nailed fighter mode though.

[Lolicon]

Yeah, I hate how my Yamato valks always get blown across the room whenever I turn on the AC. DX 4 life! 

[eyesonme78]

Anyone knows when will the super/strike packs be released ? For the first wave ?

[Shawn]

Sorry-not to derail the thread, but what size pictures are uploading that give an error? I've tried 4.2MB and no problems.

Let me know the size so I can adjust the server! (We prefer the pics on the server if at all possible because image hosts tend to come and go, and when going back 15 years in the forums like we do, its nice to see the pictures that were in the post at the time)

[Sanity is Optional]

It's when I try and upload directly from the phone. Looks like under that size, but its 4k x 3k resolution.

Looks like it works when I crop the image, so might be a resolution limit.

Bandai made it auto direct to the 2nd batch, so it's hard to see the release date for the 1st batch.

But most if not all of the TWE items in december have a release date of 12-23-19.   So I would day it's on the 23rd too.

[Dirtyboy]

Haha to be honest I must admit the DX is a better figure/toy, especially in battroid. But considering the roughly 15 years between the two. Yamato really did do an amazing job. 

The Bandai was an evolution not a revolution. 

[Kanzaki]

The yammies were revolutionary for its time. Looking back, it still holds the test of time (in regard to the engineering and design). Bandai improved and made the engineering and design even better through the DX. If at all, my two cents says the DX modernized the engineering and design of the Valk, whilst paying homage to the Yammies.
