grogall Posted February 13 Posted February 13 (edited) I'm sure that this is a prototype but in late state of development, you can tell that they are still using stickers on the fast packs, The prototype from November also had gaps in the fast packs, The pictures of the ostrich on the Tamashi website could be a further along developed model, we'll have to see and wait till July/August to see if they fracked it up...🙄 Edited February 13 by grogall Quote
grogall Posted February 22 Posted February 22 One of the early prototypes, still has a TV hud in the cockpit. The final version shouldn't have that! Quote
arrow Posted February 23 Posted February 23 the question is, will any of the pilots fit the back of the empty DX 1D back seat Quote

Did anyone notice the Minmaii is holding a helmet? Edited February 23 by grogall Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Real pity we never got a seated Minmay for the VF-1D. Still feels ridiculous. Quote

rocketblast Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Man, now I really hope they release an elintseeker. Quote
grogall Posted March 24 Posted March 24 (edited) Comparison picture... Plus new order information Edited March 24 by grogall Quote
Anasazi37 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Courtesy of Google Translate: preorders close on 31 March and it releases sometime in July. I'm fairly certain that all direct proxies used up their allocations almost immediately and the stores like Anime Export that act like proxies are largely sold out now, too. Folks in Japan still have a week to place orders; everyone else is probably out of luck at this point--until they start to show up on the secondary market (Yahoo Japan, Mandarake, etc.). I hope it does really well with respect to sales, because I'd like to also own a VE-1 and Bandai is 75% of the way there with the VT-1 mold. Quote

But I also interpret from this that if the have large orders they may make a second batch!? Like they did with the VF-1S (Mechanical Edition)? I'm also with you on the VE-1... Although we only see it for a blink and miss second it would be my Holy Grail in 1/48th! and I'm very confident the will release it after the Ostrich, like they did with the High Metal-R version in 2018...

Like they did with the VF-1S (Mechanical Edition)? Yes, that looks to be the case, based on the additional information you just shared (I hadn't gone to look at the listing). I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai included that language on all TWE items now, to give themselves the option to make additional batches based on demand. If they opened up a second VT-1 batch, that would be great news for collectors who missed out on the initial batch and would (hopefully) encourage Bandai to make the VE-1 because I think there would be enough demand for it.

MKT Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 For TWE items, I always thought 2nd or subsequent batches will only happen if the current PO batch is sold out before the closing date. If the VT-1 hasn't sold out yet by now, I won't expect they will by next week's closing date.. so slim chance there will be another batch for this. Quote

That's why I was thinking that it might be standard language that Bandai adds to all TWE listings now. We've seen additional batches when first batches sell out quickly, but it's unpredictable and I haven't yet seen one happen this late in the preorder window. Quote
Spark-O-Matic Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Crossing fingers for a VE-1 to go next to my Skillet head. ...Luna Park is still selling these on PO so its still possible for late comers. Quote

I feel you with the lack of display space, I have to get creative with the limited room I have. Quote
