The reality is that A) this VF-1S isn't due to release until Saturday, 11/23 (and it's only 7:18 AM in Japan right now so there's plenty of time left for the 23rd).  B) Many places don't ship on Saturdays, so I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't shipping updates till Japan's Monday.

Preparing for shipment at amazon :) 

First time using a forwarding service. Hope everything gets to where it needs to go :hail:

i think that this means that the items aren't fully processed on their end, so the shipping isn't determined yet...?  anyone got more solid info on that?

Mine is shippable now ^_^

Oops!

We'll see if the japanese-fans will be extra sensitive enough to complain about it to get Bandai to fix/replace it like they did with the original Alto YF-29...

 

 

The YF-29 shoulders just popped off, the vertical stabilizer would be hard to change

I said that to myself. " Just one, I dont need to many of them..." I have like 35 now. But the VF-1S will be a great start for you.

I have zero faith I'll stop at one, hoping to nab one of these and the Roy, and if the VF-1A continues to drop in price as it has been, that could be a huge maybe

FedEX was cheaper than EMS for me, so I went with that.  FedEX was faster, too.

With fedex ,There’s also more options to pickup your package .

not sure if hlj shipping account allows it or not, but if they do , you can request it to be hold for pickup at a Fedex office , shipping center , or any Walgreens since it will need a indirect signature.   ( need to check that next week )

Haven't been able to locate one in Tokyo yet, but it's still early. Time to really hit the streets!

Your best bet will be Tamashii Tokyo at Akihabara.

It's goddamn pathetic when even people living in Japan can't get their hands on a 1S because of Bandai's "produce the absolute minimum so that nothing stays on the shelves for more than 5 minutes" policy, nevermind people abroad and the hordes of Chinese tourists here.

Did amazon Japan ever reopen sales for the 1S? Seems very unlikely now.

FWIW, I caught a chaotic brief window on AJ for Max a week after he was released and snagged at MSRP but no one else reported getting him at that time. It was really glitchy

So now we don't feel like we're alone.

Hikaru's VF-1S is an iconic enough Valk for a reissue. Only questions are when and weather it will include Strike Packs. :unsure:

Bandai reissue more please!

Japanese fans should complain like the Evangelion release.  It's a scalper problem, but at the end of the day, if Bandai produced sufficient quantities, the scalpers wouldn't sell for much over msrp.

Good deal, congrats on finding one!

Thanks! Now there's the logistics of getting it home, as I only travel with a laptop backpack and a carry-on. :lol:

Buy a suitcase and check in your "normal" unneeded "carry-on items" and the VF-1S becomes the "new carry-on?"

Holy crap! That idea sounds nutty, but if I can find a super cheap suitcase, it becomes a brilliant idea and cheaper than shipping all this stuff! Genius!
