    Hi-Metal R

    I'm just thinking to myself, if Messer had a VF-1 EX for training delta pilots, this would probably what it would look like.

    Hi-Metal R

    Scheme looks nice on the VF-1. Definitely unexpected from bandai, possibly a rare bird in the future. Will probably pick one up (I still have the Arcadia NASCAR 30th anniversary 1J as well). And N-Y is preparing the HM-R missile sets for shipping!
  3. People who want 1/60 milia but didn't get in the PO and can't afford Yamato pricing...
  4. IIRC those replies by Mr. K regarding wastage % were about the Arcadia VF-0 series which was not a reissue but a new design.
  5. The robot spirits Q-rare might look undersized compared to Hi-metal R, they're more in scale with the revoltech battroids as seen from jenius' site: here's the 1/60 Q-rau compared to the 1/60 Yamato v2 in battroid (again from jenius' site):
  6. you could also try linking a bank account to your paypal and top up your paypal balance, then use that to pay HLJ manually (send JPY amount to paypal@hlj.com & quote your HLJ customer ID number & order number). but it will use paypal's conversion rate.
  7. shame they never reissued that for the 30th anniversary.

    Toy Manufacturing

    except the toy factories Arcadia uses aren't Japanese anymore... they'd probably repurpose the defective parts for KOs
  9. How can I pass on an extra Messer PO (I have amiami/HLJ POs) to a fellow board member?
  10. It says it's a hasegawa 1/72 0S, probably a model kit.
  11. Across the board decrease or just specific ones?
  12. a review's already been done, by forbes even. https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/04/01/vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijo-custom-toy-review-better-than-any-jetfire/#14fe8c451c4b tldr; It's exactly the same Yamato v2 VF-1 mold apart from the bright white plastic, black hand covers and additional tampo (even the strike parts have additional markings). You can view this as a good or bad thing. Long time collectors of the old Yamato releases, skilled modelers, or anybody who doesn't like double dipping will say this is how it should've been initially reissued by Arcadia. Others without the skill or patience to apply the decals may find it as a worthwhile upgrade to their collection.
  13. I wonder if the option part body covers will be cast in red/blue as well.
  14. Can you do the gunpod-holding one as well? It'd go well with the closed fist.
  15. You can get white DYRL-style hands from kurisama's Shapeways shop IIRC.
  16. Those are some expensive missiles, USD20 for 18... not to mention shipping. I'm glad Xigfrid is working on this though, could pick up a set if it turns out nice. The spelling nazi in me is crying at the thread title though...Ordnance not Ordinance
  17. Most probably the post office couldn't understand the address printed/written by CDJ. Sorry about your predicament.
  18. Finally! Hope they do premium finish versions as well. EDIT: so does it mean Arcadia still has SDF:M license for 1/60?
  19. the jungle one is B condition though: Comments: Outer Box damage(moderate) / Discoloration on figure probably may not be worth saving $97 over
  20. goddamit it showed up as preorder then the cart crashed. now not available.
