They've been prompt with replies and they just sent me photos of my YF-21 order with no bent antennas and just paid my shipping. So hopefully to get it next week. So far, the communication with Ryota is great about my order. Hopefully they won't end up like NY. i'm not sure if it's confirmed if it's yoyakunow but one or two of the retailer links that was shared pre-order night were former nippon yasan guys. one was the company with the ultra low pre-order price but with insane shipping costs and read from the forums they were Nippon Yasan. I don't care really care but it's interesting. Quote

Would like to acquire one more VF-1D also but damn they are expensive. I still have one brand new in box. Accidentally broke the rear wing off of the first one I bought. LunaPark standard just said FedEx just picked them up, but that tracking numbers won't be available until Monday. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted July 20 Posted July 20 1 hour ago, no3Ljm said: Is it Nin-Nin-Game? no, it's the two newest websites that people weren't familiar with. Yoyakunow and another one that no one has heard of till recently. it's in the pre-order thread the night of the VT-1 releases and several posts were warning it was Nippon Yasan. I also read similar posts on Robot Japan board. But i'm ordered from Yoyakunow bc i didn't care Quote
rocketblast Posted July 20 Posted July 20 NY is legit again? I remember way back there were problems. I have since forgotten about that website. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I got one of my YF-21s and the Metal Build Kampfer from Yoyakunow. So they're legit so far. Even the shipping rates were reasonable, unlike NY's habit of gouging on shipping. About 5000 yen for Fedex for the YF-21 and it got here in 2 days. Quote

MKT Posted July 20 Author Posted July 20 Thanks for the pics @tekering. Somehow, I prefer the beige either the HMR or Yamato used. The light beige used on the DX reminds me of a yellowing valk lol. But that may be a good thing down the road. @Usagi Thanks for the video too. Now I can't get the image of a frying pan stuck on face out of my head. 4 hours ago, no3Ljm said: Is it Nin-Nin-Game? It's Moehime-Japantoys. Anyone buying from them just be careful to make sure any PO's are well within PP's 6-month protection window. Quote

grogall Posted July 20 Posted July 20 (edited) Dear @tekering, I have one final request! Will the regress seats from the VF-1D also fit the VT-1? and could you please take a picture if it fits? Thanks! Edited July 20 by grogall Quote

Shawn Posted July 21 Posted July 21 in the 1/55 thread there was a pic of an original Bandai Strike Valkyrie shipping case if I remember right. In 30 years would the 1/48 VT-1 Super Ostrich case have the same collectability/sentimentality? Quote
