Anasazi37 Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 I couldn't sleep last night and happened to be up when the PO opened for these three, so I went to HLJ. Wow, that was a terrible decision. Not sure if it's because a ton of items from a lot of different properties went up for PO right after the Tamashii Nations event, but their site was getting absolutely hammered starting at 4pm JST. I tried to buy them for 30 minutes, but couldn't get to the payment screen (it would keep crashing). I finally gave up and tried again early this morning, remembering that these don't sell out instantly like the DX valks. Completed the order in 10-15 seconds. The experience reminded me to NOT use HLJ when PO Madness is a real concern. Their system can't handle the traffic. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 If the newer versions or the DX VF-25 re-renewals are finished like this, we’ll then, count me in. Bandai has their hooks in me. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 Too awesome! Can’t wait until I get the full squadron. Sorry about the homemade stand.😅 Quote
twich Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 I really wanted these, and my wife convinced me to get them for my two youngest kids for Christmas. They arrived today from HLJ and I didn't open them, but I will have a smile on my face on Christmas morning when my son and daughter open them up on Christmas morning! Twich Quote

Twich Expand You kiddos are going to love opening these up on Christmas. Mine wants a nice chess set and the other wants, well, not sure yet. They, 11 & 16, saw these and all they said was “Cool those are cute.” My 11 YO played with it and really liked it. Quote
twich Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 The boy is 14, he is getting the VF-25F and my daughter is 12, she is getting the VF-25G, because it is blue! how is the build quality? Is it light, or does it feel substantial in the hand? they look well put together. Twich Quote

Great material used and paint apps are crisp. The mini figures are all kinds of adorable. Quote

Zx31 Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 The figures are neat. The stand adapter is not. A bit of a bummer for figures as solid as these. Quote
Anasazi37 Posted November 22, 2022 Posted November 22, 2022 Clicked the "ship" button this morning at HLJ, so I should have mine early next week. Had to wait until the Nendoroid Denji reissue was available so I could ship everything in my Private Warehouse, which includes an Arcadia Tomahawk. I'm debating if I should make decals for that. Not enough hours in the day and every time I use my ALPS printer I'm basically gambling that it won't break. Discussion for the other dedicated thread. Quote
