DX for Macross seems to be more about how tall the battroid is so it's a relatively safe bet a VF-19Kai would be 1/60 scale.

And they have already made such a formidable figure with the Y/VF-19 Isamu figures in the 1/60 scale that you would think they could just modify that a bit.

Ah yeah that makes tons of sense.  Thanks!

I just noticed that in the official photos of the Tamashii Features 2020 event, where the Super Set was unveiled, Bandai conveniently left atmospheric-helmet-Roy out of the cockpit:

Looks like they could also use a Hikaru decal for the cockpit

TQ shizuka!!!!!!!!!!

My Roy which was in the cart before could not proceed. So i went and deleted that and ordered again.
Why does it not recognise my old cart item HLJ?? Few minutes of tension there!

Thanks to @Shizuka the Cat and hope this works for everyone. Still shows as available atm. 
FWIW, I still have a Hikaru DX 1S in my PW from when that released that they have not fulfilled or cancelled. 
 

edit: order stop again now.

Hopefully its not a glitch. I finally got one 5 minutes ago, but have been trying to add to my cart since 6:45 CA USA time.

[spacemanoeuvres]

Cart jacked

You got to be joking, so even HLJ is not secure...?

[dragontype]

I literally said that to my wife just now.  I think this is a glitch.  Lol but hey, I'll take it if it works.  I wonder if I can cancel my order at NinNin.  But after all the talk on the forums that NinNin is highly suspect... am I better trying to cancel that order?

[Whatever_Guy]

Wow very fast (not unexpected) but it sounds like a few ppl managed to order one.

I noticed that it now says limited to 1 per person. Originally it said something like 20 ... so perhaps one of those was cancelled, hence why some appeared available.

In any case, hopefully everyone's order sticks!

If mighty HLJ is not secure......hate to think abt the others...

Thanks  much for the heads up!!!   I got my order in just in time.   I'll  still keep my back up order with Mykombini for now - just in case.

I do occasionally see sites like AmiAmi, HLJ, and CDJapan show availability of seemingly sold out pre-orders that end up working out OK.

That's why I have been routinely checking these sites a few times a day to see if the VF-1S Roy became available again.

To my shock, it was again at HLJ.   Hopefully this works out well!

HLJ has cancelled orders before. I have a feeling this one will stick because it seems like they may have had a similar situation as CDJ recently and opened a batch for order. They probably reconciled their orders with stock they are expecting and found they were able to reopen. At least let’s hope so. My Hikaru 1S situation is probably a glitch because I know others who ordered around the same time had their orders cancelled and some fulfilled. I’m just going to leave it there and if they someday deliver, bonus for me!

I am actually feeling rather optimistic about this too.

I would be more inclined to think this was a glitch if the order floodgates remained opened. But the fact VF-1S Roy went back to being sold out after 8 or so new orders makes me think that HLJ was maybe able to accommodate a few more from Bandai or some cancellations occurred.... I hope.

Man, just as I sit down for a nice "screen free dinner" haha. Oh well, hoping that both Nin-nin and my Kombini don't both cancel on me for my $225ish orders.

When did CDJ reopen?
