I too placed an order at NY. However, given their track record for always being the last to deliver (in fairness they always do though) I placed another order with nin-nin. Guess which one arrived at my house a few days ago and which one is still preparing to ship. Maybe it’s because NY is a lot more popular, but they are always the last to ship for me compared to others.

I got my tracking number for the VF-1S Roy. Anyone else?
-
Interesting. Where did that come from?
-
I still can’t get the circled area to tab in properly. I probably just got a bad one. For what it’s worth though, those intake covers hold in great.
-
Be very careful removing the missiles. I tried to go very slow after the first one and I still ended up with 3 out of 4 mounts popping off. Easy fix though.
-
In case anyone is curious about size differences.
-
I really look forward to your review.
-
Also, please let me know if anyone else has issues with the gun pod sitting lower than the landing gear. I probably messed something up there as well but I sure can’t get it to go away. Not a bad photo in fighter mode. I can’t wait to see some of the pros we have on here make it look really good.

Ok. So I was able to get to fighter mode, but I still can’t tab in the legs in completely. I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong and will be happy to correct myself once you all figure it out. Too early to tell my final opinion, but my initial thoughts are it’s ok. It would have been something great years ago, but even compared to my Yamato VF-1 v2’s it still needs some tweaking. I’m worried the hands are going to break and overall it’s just needs a little more refinement. It’s really not bad and it’s definitely the best Robotech licensed VF-1. I do like the paint job. The light up gimmicks are neat and something new, but I feel like my HMR is just more refined. That being said, it has a few more things the HMR doesn’t. Gerwalk is not very good though. Not enough knee bend. I guess it’s priced and targeting where it should be. In between both V2 and HMR. Time will tell if it holds together or starts falling apart. Curious to know all of your thoughts. Maybe the next VF-1 Kitz makes will address the things I’m seeing and really get everything right. Oh, and it did come with a t-shirt, gift bag, some kind of VF-1S print, and no super parts yet.

Just got mine. So far it’s just ok. I’m having issues tabbing the legs in. I think I’ve been spoiled by the DX VF-1J.
-
Thank you! It would be cool if Bandai did this.
-
I’d love to see how they did that.
-
I sold all my Evolution Legioss. Had all 3. Hoped that by Iota (Green) we would see improvements. Holding out now for the next foray into Mospeada Legioss.
-
Or at least tracking info for it on PayPal. I also got an email from them asking to confirm my address.

VF-1S
-
I got a shipping notice. Anyone else?
-
@jenius where did you get your turntable for your review? I’d love to find one to help display.
-
My apologies if this was already posted and I missed it. Interesting though.
-
I think Mrs Jenius was right...you would get more reviews if she did it. Well done as usual.
-
Me too. I wish the head recessed better in fighter mode, but it’s looking like a 1/72 Yamato-ish figure with panel lining and a light up gimmick. Time will tell if the quality is there.
-
I stand corrected. It looks like this does have an integrated heat shield. (10:00)
-
I think they would sell a lot of a jetfire paint scheme.
-
I think Shiro was a great character and it didn’t matter if he was straight or gay. But he needed more development if they wanted to explore his personal life. (By the way I was trying to not give spoilers away since I’m on my phone and can’t hide comments)
-
For the record I’m perfectly fine with a gay character in a show (and I’m not LGBTQ but support all types when it comes to liberty). The problem I had with the very ending was that he just found some guy and got married. I think that was a missed opportunity to flush out something more natural instead of just shoe horning it in at the end. I think that is the problem with shows going “woke.” I’m fine with representing all people of all types and ideologies. But make it first about the story and not just some agenda to make a point. That fails all the time in religious films too. Tell a good story first and then flow the players in smartly...not forced to make a point or a political stand. It’s just bad writing and storytelling...and it’s definitely overdone.

While I could see UV being a problem, I would think heat could be another. Like a hot attic or garage effecting plastic. Am I right on that?
