Loop Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 My copy from Amiami shipped a bit later than normal as it took them time to regenerate the invoice due to address change. I still have my copy at HLJ in the PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetJockey Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 On 9/9/2017 at 1:00 AM, no3Ljm said: What episode number is Silent Hacker? Can't remember there was an episode with that title. As for Mirage fight in the asteroid belt that's episode 6. I think the best Mirage aerial fight is with the VF-1Ex. The VF-1Ex was early in the show right? I just searched for the VF-1Ex and I think I remember seeing that episode. But Mirage wasn't piloting her VF-31C. If I eventually get this version, I'll probably just leave it in jet mode. The colors do look really nice on the release version.

I always think of it as the Silent Hacker episode. I don't know what it's called. But the song was at the beginning. I remember they were infiltrating a planet and get captured at the end. Perhaps I watched the episode afterwards. I can't remember. The show really didn't catch on with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one time I was trying to swap the heads of 31J and 31F only to realize it will not look right because each variant have its own groove on the side panel where the head rest in fighter mode.

Bummer. There's already a pinpoint barrier knife. And congratulations! You're already ahead of the geniuses who engineered the V1 VF-25 toys. I better be careful not to mix up the Walkure pilot figures since they're all identical and I'm not going to remember which is which. (One is pink, another is... pinker?)

Acteon Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Waiting to ship mine with the anniversary Hi-Metal figures I ordered. The great pics on here numb the pain a bit, but nothing will beat having this in-hand. So pleased I managed to get one on the day. Hopefully the HMR VF-2SS will be easier to grab on launch as well. Fingers crossed anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still amazes me that the kits got that right from day one, but they seemed to either not care or didn't actually transform any other than Alto's into fighter mode for the first DX's.

NUNS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Has anyone's order from NY left Japan yet? My order shipped 9/11 at 10am JST. It is now 9/13 4am JST, getting close to 2 full days after receiving tracking number, and EMS' website still has status as "Posting/Collection". This may be my last order from NY. Not only did I pay close to 40 dollars more than HLJ, but now shipping issues? This is starting to really piss me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did I pay close to 40 dollars more than HLJ, but now shipping issues? This is starting to really piss me off. How did you manage to pay $40 more at NY compared to HLJ? Did you pay in USD? Mine shipped on the same day as yours and it says it has dispatched. I paid a few dollars more with shipping at NY than HLJ's price without shipping. After shipping at HLJ, it will be over $20 more than NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUNS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 My bad, I meant to say $30 not $40. I payed $207 for the valk itself, then $45 for EMS shipping, for a total of $252. 4 minutes ago, Slave IV said: Mine shipped on the same day as yours and it says it has dispatched This is really disconcerting. I already contacted NY during business hours yesterday and they said to wait for the tracking website to update (of course). They also said they would contact Japan Post if shipping took too long. Well from my experience, and from your example, it has already taken too long. When did EMS show yours dispatching from outward office?

Dispatched 4 pm 9/12 JST. Either way it sounds like you overpaid by letting them do the currency conversion for you. Anyways, we're talking a couple days so far here and it sounds like NY already did their part so I don't see how anything after they ship could be their fault. I know some people need their toys ASAP but I don't care as long as it shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
