Lolicon Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Got mine a few days ago. Usual QC for Bandai's stuff. It'd really be nice if Bandai could make wings that weren't warped. Still, it's nice to finally have the entire SMS Skull Squadron... only 5 freaking years after Frontier's original run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Woohoo! Arrived Tuesday 25th (via registered SAL), picked it up today and no customs or duties. NY only declared 10 euros, but the registered insurance was for 27,000Y - I'm just so happy that I didn't get dinged by the government again. Just took it out and it all looked great - it was somewhat mis-aligned in the box - but a few snaps here and there aligned it up nicely (at least in plane mode). Will transform it tonight when I get home from work to check out the toy, but I think this bird is staying in the aircraft mode for most of its life. The mint green is still an odd choice from a design point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I just finished unpacking/transforming/poseing mine... OH MY GOD, IT'S SO GOOD! It's so pretty, I love the colors, especially the bluish-steel metallic on the feet. ELINT by Mike - drowning in plastic, on Flickr The VF-27 looks so sad next to the renewal and the 171, but I just can't accept paying so much for an only partially remolded version with fast packs.

KH355hamdi Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My Skull team is now complete. They sent it early morning. Going to continue my sleep before I unwrap this baby and update my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KH355hamdi Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't mind the extra parts used in the fighter mode. Infact it makes mounting of the gunpod easier compared to the other VF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXTL Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) so what's with otacute. They updated their facebook page but no word on RVF-25 I gave up on them and went with HLJ. They may yet come through but I've had a bad feeling about them since they missed the release date 2 weeks ago.

raptormesh Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just got mine, really surprised by how long's the ventral EW fin. Think it would like better with super packs but that's many months to come argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Btw, is the ventral fin permanently attached or removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm sorry that otacute is shutting down, but I just paid for my RVF-25 from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH355hamdi Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 That took me about an hour to transform them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This is bullshit! Fedex has always come through for me even delivering packages before their scheduled delivery date and today my RVF was supposed to be delivered and it wasnt. The last scan shows it was in Memphis and I called FedEx and they are looking for the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Got an email from Otacute stating my preorder for the RVF-25 is ready to be shipped. Strange thing is that i'm pretty sure that i didn't place a preorder with them especially since i got one from N-Y. The only thing i can think of is that i clicked on the wish list button (or the Otacute equivalent ) back during preorder time and they gave me one from a cancelled preorder? I bought it anyway. For $128 dollers you can't go wrong. Just wished i didn't pay N-Y scalper prices for my first one (still haven't got it yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Otacute actually has it back up for pre-order, so I guess more stock is headed their way $147.50 USD + Shipping. I really don't need another Luca and have been trying hard to avoid it every time I run across them when searching the JP web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 The RVF looks much nicer in Robot in person than i was expecting. I'll still display in fighter, since thats definitive for me, but it looks pretty damned cool in Battroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yeah I need to get around to transforming mine. I have been enjoying it in fighter mode with the rest of Skull squadron (all in fighter mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KH355hamdi Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 So far the armor parts have not chipped any of the paint on my Ozma or Alto. I often have to remove the booster on the wings for easy transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
