(XXXXXX) :P In all seriousness though, that is a killer deal. Hopefully, it works out. All the other listings on eBay that I'm seeing are in the $500-650+ range, which is just ... stupid. Yep. If he comes through i will let someone here that could not secure a VF-1S reap the benefits and sell it for the same price i got it for + customs and shipping Quote

The swing bar was fine for me and the nosecone is pretty tight, has snap to it. Have to get better at avoiding paint rub, that laser clearance for getting the head thru for battroid is pretty tight. My shoulders were correct and the bicep swivel is pretty tight that I wouldn’t want to twist it without holding the shoulder with my other hand. The intake cover for the right leg usually pops off when engaging the gerwalk joint because the ratchets feel nice and tight. Going to try to the waist swivel next for that knee to chest fist to ground superhero landing pose. Your pics made me reorder it. Quote

I’m tempted to secure a pre-order resale from an auction site and then try to snag one from AE, etc. If I end up with two, I’m going to sell it to someone in North America for whatever I paid + shipping.

Sanity is Optional Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 After opening up my Max 1A, gotta say the colors are much nicer in person. The body is a light grey, and the blue is nice and vibrant. Quote

jeniusornome Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Seems like the white is greyer and the blue is slightly lighter than the Yamato? Quote

Digitalfiend Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Hmm, so I think there might be something odd going on with that VF-1 missile set order that I placed through FromJapan. I "won" the bid (via Buy Now) and the item was confirmed as having been sold. I logged in to look at some other stuff and noticed the seller has seemingly re-posted what looks to be the exact same missile set, judging by the same pics/description, but with only a 4hr window on the auction. In the rough translation of the description, it mentioned something about being able to arbitrarily cancel orders (though I haven't received notification from FromJapan). The auction I "won" (shows the name of the account FJ used): https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k412890791 The new auction that was posted today - exact same pics as the auction above: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k412964478 Maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid... Edit: Ok so now the item is listed again for 12hrs and 320 jpy less (9,800 just a few minutes ago and now 9,480). Edited September 28, 2019 by Digitalfiend Quote
kkx Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 @theraidenI hope your eBay order come through. With my eBay failure, I have non on order and will need to hunt one down again. Quote

Top/Bottom Spoiler White table with daylight LED illumination Comparison vs HMRs Spoiler Blue is deeper than the Max HMR, I'd also say it's a bit richer. White is slightly more gray than the VF-4 HMR Quote

theraiden Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I think i'm gonna need another missile set. Looks so good with the Strike parts Edited September 28, 2019 by theraiden Quote
Erebos Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 The 1S looks really great. Interesting that the panel under the wing with the hardpoint is separating. This happened to my 1J as well when i was trying to get a missile off. Easy fix but still a bit surprising. Quote
Halfstep Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) So the 1S has ejector tampo's? Also, I had the same issue with my 1J where the panel on the missle connector separated when I tried to remove them. Did not pull the panel off completely but it really irked me when it happened. It's like the plastic just tore on the panel lines. Not like I was pulling hard either. Edited September 28, 2019 by Halfstep Quote
sqidd Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Riddle this Batman. I was just thinking about this the other night as I was displaying a Valk with FP's on it. When the FP's are installed do you leave the intakes/compressor covers on under the assumption that the FP's are for use in space? I'm assuming the FP's are for space use? It's been a million years since I watched any of this stuff. And one more thing. Oh goodness that thing is sexy! I'm dying to get mine! Quote
