Looks like the reviewer's copy has the wrong side hinge. Now I have to check my 1J when I get home because the shoulder on it doesn't move all the way forward properly. Looks like Arcadia isn't the only one using the incorrect side joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewPoint Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 So you could get two right shoulder joints. Or more precisely, an inverted right shoulder joint install as the left shoulder joint. Bandai and Arcadia probably need to step up their assembly plant QC a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalfiend Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Woohoo, tracking shows my Max is in Toronto already...wasn’t expecting it to get here quite that quickly. Thumbs up for Anime Export. Now it will take Canada Post 3 days to deliver it 30km... Edited September 23, 2019 by Digitalfiend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG what if they're secretly the same company? Even the name is suspicious! If you take ARCADIA and replace the A with a B, drop the R, change the C to an N, and rearrange the letters, and you get BANDAI! Obviously, the dropped R was reassigned to the Hi Metal name giving us Hi Metal R! The clues were there all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theraiden Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I ordered a Max from Anime Export on Saturday and was starting to sweat because it was still in "Packing Status" today.

DYRL VF-1S Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's par for the course with NY as of the last few releases. As @Slave IV always says, "I'm not worried. It always arrives." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekering Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm so glad Bandai stuck with the VF-1J grey for Max's 1A... So much nicer than Yamato's shock-white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhudson311 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have one on order I placed on Friday at 1999 and one I placed a order for on Sunday at Amazon.jp. both orders went through but I have not been charged for either yet. Why would that be you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Finally received shipping notification for my two orders of Max 1A from Amazon JP. Interestingly they were both sent out today (Monday) which is supposed to be a national holiday there. Also, the orders were placed minutes apart, but one shipped from Tokyo and the other originated from Osaka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National holidays don't mean much here, unless you're a civil servant. I received postal deliveries this morning; a courier brought my Amazon package this afternoon; I even had university classes to teach today.

Why would that be you guys think? It means they're going to cancel the orders on you and actually blacklist you from ordering again. You sure your CC is paid up?? JK I find that many of these companies wait to charge you until the product is processed for shipment. So, for example, I ordered Max direct from AJ. I have a pending charge and suspect that I won't see it hit until it's processed for shipment. Nothing to worry about on the AJ side. I haven't ordered from 1999 but know that HobbySearch is reputable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
