kkx Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 1 hour ago, F360 said: yup, it's all your fault. ....... not entirely but reasonable enough. For me paypal is easier and have less issues for instock items. direct with creditcard made me lose a nice priced preorder from N-Y.,, They said it was declined and just cancelled my order. And of course they relisted later for higher price. I see. Will be careful in future for anything critical. AmiAmi updated the invoice and I have paid. Hope they will ship out soon. Whew, HLJ is out. I am lucky to have this one. Missed the AJ deal, but AmiAmi is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna complain though, they are giving us "telescopic" seats. Ha one more seat to have Minmei sitting, now that i think about it. It would be cool if they gave us standing or kneeing Hikarus too.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 From the photos I’m seeing so far, it appears that the orange parts on the VF-1D (chest, legs, and maybe head) are actually molded plastic instead of paint, so I’d bet they look better than the VT-1. I’m looking forward to recreating the TV version of this pair: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I just finished purchasing 10 Macross Hi-Metal R VF-1D valkyries to keep for a while. I was hoping they would come out with this in 1/55 but you gotta love the Hi-Metal R line. Easy to transform, good details, nice size. So far one has shipped, my Amazon order of 4 which was a GREAT deal thanks to the poster is being processed. Pretty good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley424 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 VF-1D is looking good! I have mine ready to ship from Anime Export, but I'm waiting on the DX Chogokin VF-1 Missile Set coming out next month and will ship them together. I already email them, but does anyone know how long Anime Export will hold items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It’s been a while so I’ve forgotten which HM or HMR VF-1 can have the fuselage to easily detach. It would be nice if the VF-1D can do it but if it can’t then I’ll still do it with one of my spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nit-picking but it still looks as though the backpack's shade of orange is a tad brighter than the rest of the body on the 1D, not sure if it's just the lighting. And not sure which is canon - but only the centre part of the back cover was painted orange in Yamato's 1D, not the whole piece. I just checked my Super O and the back cover was painted in two colours - why the step back, Bandai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) (edited) and I just realized that the shape of the back cover are different between the 1D and the super O. Dammit. Edited April 20, 2019 by rdrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had items there for well over a year before I shipped and they all arrived in perfect condition when I eventually got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I would love to see a good profile comparison of the nose between the standard single seat and this 2 seater. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like they pulled a Yamato on us and just moved the rollbar slightly forward and made it vertical. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting for some SAL shipments from nin nin and mandarake and they are taking forever to reach New York ISC for some reason. It’s not even golden week yet. I’m just going to have to be patient, but I hope at least something will arrive in the next two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orange of the chest plate appears duller than the painted orange. My CD Japan order is also in "In Shipping Process." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
