DYRL VF-1S Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Akiba ex (or however it's spelled in English; sign is Japanese) is buying back the 1S for 17500. That's not a good sign regarding availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tober Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hikaru's VF-1S is an iconic enough Valk for a reissue. Only questions are when and weather it will include Strike Packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 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.

CharlesXavier Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Let's hope Bandai reissues this soon with the correct tampo. For all we know this one with the error print might be worth more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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!
