I would've preferred this at the Hi-Metal scale personally.

Agreed. Though I'm only waiting for Hikaru's DX VF-1A at this point.  

 

[Lolicon]

I'm in for one. Though I would have preferred the remaining hero units first. 

[nightmareB4macross]

I’m in for one. Don’t need to redo a squadron in in 1/48 again.

what’s up with the weird stripes on the shoulders, arms, and head?

[505thAirborne]

I'm in for one, that's a good price! 

[BlueMax]

Probably the most affordable DX VF-1 so far, given the current yen rate.

 

Would prefer if it was the CF though, most of us would be down for multiples.

[Bahamutzyro]

I’m in for 4-5…. Web exclusive so where would they be able to be ordered?

[Sildani]

Why not a brownie? 

[Rein+]

I don't need another VF-1, I don't need another VF-1, I don't need another VF-1.... But its DXC version or so i say to myself.

Is this the preorder where it opens and closes in seconds being sold out, or is it the put in your web order here and we will send you 5 if you ask for 5 like the original fast packs were done

 

[Shawn]

Also I can't access the bandai dx page...they've really got their geo-fencing working well for the US people...hell I just want to LOOK at it

[Miles_Wolf]

OMG 

Yeah I would like if this is one of those preorders that go out hyperfast or will it be available at other webs?

And yes, I would had prefered for these the hi-metal scale.

The latter (though once their allocation limit is reached, it will close). The only catch is that you need to pay for it upfront.

I like the changeable tail numbers. they should have done that with the GBP 1 on the chest

Is this website legit to preorder this figure? Anyone who has bought anything there?

[Bahamutzyro]

Is big in Japan reliable?

Yes. BigInJapan is a legit site. Bought some P-Bandai items few years ago. What I hear here lately is that they do charge shipping cost higher than others.

Thanks, got off my own arse and set it up on a browser over here as well.

[MKT]

Yeahh really wished they would have done this in HMR instead. That would be perfect scale to get the whole squad.

On positive note, we might see the Yamato 1/60 Angel Birds secondary prices to finally come down a bit.

[seti88]

[chriswoo]

No complaint if they came out this ver. However going to get 1 instead squadron and need to learn Photoshop more for the maximum effect. Don't think can bought entire squadron for this

[enphily]

Damn. i want it so bad

[nekromaniak]

Will have to pass on this and wait for the main valks, especially after all the mega SDCC reveals

[Chronocidal]

Just going to grab a single, they just popped up on Anime Export.  I'm actually really happy for the conversion rate right now, it came out under $190, which I think is the cheapest DX VF-1 I've gotten so far.  

[Sanity is Optional]

$300 to put in a couple proxy orders, not bad.

[Lolicon]

I just ordered the Tomy 1/350 Enterprise and bought a PS5... Gonna need to let my wallet breathe a bit. 

That AE markup...

For those in the USA, what's looking to be the least expensive after shipping? I assume there's no way around Bandai not shipping to the US on this if you can't see it normally, yeah? So, BIJ, AE, etc...what's going to hurt least?

[Bahamutzyro]

Anime export only lets you order 1? Says sold out after I placed order for only 1 ?

[Bahamutzyro]

Big in Japan also showing out of stock

[Radioguy]

What's the AE shipping even likely to be?
