Also had a set on order from DeJapan but given that I had to CC dispute and get my money back last month, it'll probably be the same thing again. DeJapan sucks. Don't use them if you actually want to get your stuff. I have an order for the second batch armor set with them. I forget the release date, but it must be over 6 months from the order date. I am worried now seeing your experience. Did they refuse refund when they could not get the item? Quote
mech9T8 Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 Anyone get notification from Nin Nin Game? I was a little late to the game and preordered in July. Hopefully it will ship soon. All the pics are getting me excited! Quote

My only advantage is geographic. I've never put an armored Valkyrie on a stand before, but... ...I've never had a GBP this articulate before, either! Great posing there! It will be a while until I get my copy but just curious, do you get any waist articulation with the armour on? Quote

Chronocidal Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 My armor-only set from BigInJapan is out for delivery today, but I caved and grabbed a combo set from Okini after I saw the packaging. Quote

They never responded to my emails except for the first email, where I got a "it should be here next week" stalling email. Over a week passed, I emailed them a couple more times and never got any response. So I just disputed the charge through my CC and got my money back. I have zero tolerance for NY-style stalling tactics. Give me my item, my money back, or a real update on when I will receive it. Those are the only acceptable answers to me. Quote

derex3592 Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 Anyone else having an issue getting the pilot seat to lock in behind the head with the head tilted foward? My 1D one pops right in, but this one just won't...Am I missing something? Quote

Hopefully it will ship soon. All the pics are getting me excited! My Armored Parts from Nin-Nin Game that I ordered in May haven’t shipped. I wrote to them last week to ship asap and they wrote back saying that they will ship once they get them in. It turns out the tracking for my 2 from Big In Japan was showing Monday but they arrived at 12 PM today. I’ll either pick them up later today or for sure tomorrow morning. Quote

It would be nice if the missiles came out (and I'm kinda happy I don't ala Yamato and self ejecting missiles every time you sneeze). I would love for Bandai to release a missile effects set. The quality seems good. Not out of this world. Nothing wrong with it either. I'd say it gets a 9 out of 10. Mostly I'm happy the armor doesn't self eject ala Yamato.....thank goodness. Used a extra S as a stand in until one of the full sets I have on order comes in. Not thrilled with this pose. Something isn't quite right. I'll have to sort that out over the next few days. FYI, the side-leg Missiles (the 4-packs) are removable. Quote

Bought the item and paid immediately. They generate a tracking number the next day. However, the tracking number does not work .... until 10 days later (yesterday). Frakken BS. Hopefully the item will arrive in 2 weeks. Quote

I see, thanks for sharing. They did ship out the 1D I have ordered via them. I am not sure what to do about the second batch armor sets. I hope they come through. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Picked up my 2 sets of Armored Parts. Yay! Quote
lavinrac Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 On 9/24/2021 at 7:40 PM, sqidd said: Pro Tip: Take the intake/compressor covers off and stow them before you put the armor on. If/when they fall off (one of mine did while putting it in the cabinet) you can't get them back on without removing the "diaper" portion of the armor. Easier just to remove them and stow them in the box. Anyone ever post a fix for the intake covers? the left one seems a touch too big on several of my dx's and just pops out. I haven't seen a DIY thread on fixing it. Quote

tjdetweiler Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I'm waiting for Luna and HLJ to ship since DHL does not ship on the weekends over there. DHL for the combo wasn't too bad - 7K yen I thought it would've been more expensive. Nice pictures guys! I can't wait to have my one in hand! Quote
sh9000 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Once a DX VF-1A TV Kakizaki gets released I’ll do this setup too. First pose will be from Takani box art. Quote
eXis10z Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Has Amiami requested payment or shipped for anyone's order? I have yet to receive a payment request from them. Quote
borgified Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Not yet @eXis10z. Should get it within this week and @Alex GS also got a unit from them also. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I'm not sure. It does come from Macross source material. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 I'll eventually get to creating missile effects just like the ones I did for the HMR Armored Valkyrie. Quote
