Just means you'll have to wait a bit. Quote

Expand 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. Quote
mantisfists Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I just got a shipping notice from HLJ. That was fast. Edited March 3, 2021 by mantisfists Quote

KFDzero Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Dooh! Missed the hlj Roy..... I've been on that site every day but not looking at DX stuff assuming gone forever Thanks for the heads up and congrats on those that picked one up Quote

Chronocidal Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I'm not shelling out for any more Roys unless they release a DYRL version. I might just straight up trade one of my TV ones, if the option presents itself, but that still depends on Bandai actually making it. Quote

The ones without it just look too plain by comparison. Expand This is why I don't buy the PF version. In my head, I rather do all the panel linings or weathering if I want to add it. So all of it will look the same. Or I'll just save a lot of money and send everything to @Lolicon so all of my Valks will have that Premium 'Lolicon-Special-Touch' Edition. And all the landing gears will be white. Quote

I'm honestly curious if that would give a better result than an official Bandai release, because I know at least the TV Roy has the right tail number. The head and head markings really don't bother me either way, but I'd probably make a recast DYRL pilot rather than repaint a Kakizaki. Quote

Expand Oh, to be clear, my DYRL Roy used to be a DYRL Hikaru, not a TV Roy. I think making the red things yellow and doing the name/rank and tail 001 is actually easier than trying to change all the other decals and worry about cockpits and pilots (besides a bit of yellow paint on the helmet).

Ryoma Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Not quite sure if the subject has been discussed yet but i was wondering...is it possible to use the old yamato variable stand on the new Bandai 1/48 line? Quote
canklebreaker Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I know there is a thread dedicated to NY issues but just wanted to inform everyone here as well that PayPal offered me a $100 voucher for my original pre-order of the TV movie parts. It took a lot of time and effort contacting them and reiterating the issue but it paid off. YMMV Quote
