shogun221 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Missiles came in yesterday: A decent little set. Still a bit salty at the fact they aren't being included with the upcoming VF-1S. Ended up late to the party on this TWE set. A work of caution on the hard-points for the individually-mounted reaction missiles. Once they're fully installed into the missile, the task of prying them apart is going to be somewhere between obnoxious and impossible. Personally, I'm not sure if I care all that much; they basically function as a single piece anyway. But if you think you'll ever want to separate those missiles from their hard-points, I'd recommend either not pushing them together all the way or lightly sanding the connection point.

Slave IV Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Haha, I was talking crap like I had months before I needed to buy the Strike/Super Parts. No worries, they (Bandai) already announced there would be another batch so I think it won’t be a problem and they will be available again but will see on the price. Either way, I’ll buy it faster next time, lol. Quote

I ordered my pile of Super/Strike Parts from NY in the first 24 hours NY had them posted so I am hoping that wasn't a mistake. I don't think they were even up on the Tamashii site for sale yet. Worst case I suppose they will get them to me by the time the rest of the DYRL Valks are released :P Quote

Even though the 31A took a long time, they still managed to do it while other stores either weren't or only accepted a much smaller number of orders. Quote

gerwookie Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Wow $135.48 shipped at nin-nin for strike/supers. Yeah I’ll wait Quote

I did the same for 3 sets the first hour a link came to MW. I dont want to have to many orders to NY as I understand they "wait" until all orders are gathered up to ship. Which would mean wait for Arad armor. VF-1A, then the missiles. Besides I havent ordered from AE so I thought now is a good time to give them a go Edited June 10, 2019 by Alphahorizon Quote

MacrossDYRL Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 We know that a few members have responded that they will making another batch of the Strike/Super parts available however but does anyone know if they mentioned anything about a reprint of the VF1 missiles? I'm sure we'll hear something eventually, just curious if it was mentioned at the same time with the Strike/Super parts or not. On another note, any recommendations on a good stand/base for these? Saw that the yetistands look decent and was looking at other options too, thanks. Quote

I would recommend putting a piece of scotch tape (sticky side toward the display stand) on top of each nub to prevent reaction of the stand with any material it would touch, some people had the stands fuse with the paint on their toy or leave a ring of discoloration.

HardlyNever Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Official Tamashii page for the strike parts is up: https://tamashii.jp/item/12988/?#pagetop Basically no new information. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I think it is a reasonable assumption that there is at least engine detail in the FAST PACK. Probably missile boom detail. Maybe leg engine detail. And the emblems are swap out plastic parts. But why wouldn't they make that clear? Why leave it up to speculation? Quote
jenius Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Certainly no shortage of painted on markings! That's a lot... Curious about details. It seems 99% certain they have removable exteriors but I wonder why Bandai isn't selling that? Quote

Just don't over-torque them. https://www.yetistand.com/ Quote
Fisitron Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Any where to get the strike parts? Or at least a release day Quote

I’m holding off on DYRL schemes for now. I’m surprised that a TWE sold out that quickly. I’m guessing a lot of people bought multiples. Quote
jenius Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 They kinda forced people who could to buy 4 all at once on the hope that the DYRL valks would be made... because Bandai has a very nasty habit of not making TWEs available again. So a lot of people may end up with way more Strike Parts than they need if Bandai doesn't release any more DYRL valks or only releases one each year for the next few years. I think every time they make a Max valk available (either TV or DYRL) they should do a TWE release of Kakizaki the next month. For the most part, it'd be very easy to break one production run into two paint schemes... seems like a no brainer. Quote
