kkx Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, spacemanoeuvres said: Some of the armor variants did sell out quickly. I had to order a few different sets to get the combination I wanted. Even then some of the colors were exclusive to particular armors. So, order what you want quickly as a matter of course. Otherwise you may miss out As long as it is not the same PO madness as with Bandai DX line, then it is good. That is the only thing that I worry about. Since I start collection earlier this January, I have had ZERO success with PO of the DX VF-1 line. Edited June 21, 2019 by kkx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It's funny, they kind of had pre-order madness with the first set but it was really just the website not handling inventory accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Yeah, it is nowhere near the level of Bandai DX madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 There’s still even a few sets from the previous run available.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkx Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Sorry if this had been covered earlier in the thread. I am trying to decide if I should get one or two of the current version that is still in stock and get less of the new version. Or wait for the new version before I decide. What are the key differences between the two that is not apparent to just comparing photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Nice to be able to fit both 1 and 2 seaters. Ok, will wait for the new version then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Fext Hobby has some Black Friday sales, but it is ending in just few hours. A great time for folks to pick up some OWL-ONE sets.. The combo set at $31.14 appears to be much, much more than the 40% off it says in the description.

Jasonc Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I've been wanting to make this in 1/60 scale, and eventually will, but I think the easiest way to do this would be to scan it, resize it, clean it up, and then shape the connecting parts properly for a Yamato/Arcadia.

BlueMax Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Indeed, a shame that the 1/60s did not see the light of day.... but they were a ittle too late....... if they were mooted during the 1/60s heyday, it might have a different outcome.

Fext Hobby was intending to make this in 1/60 but supposedly didn't get enough preorder commitments at the time. I remember that time frame they gave it. They were wanting really high numbers for it, too, which is a bit of a shame. I think the fact that these are completely gone, and only rarely pop up is a good thing, especially since I don't believe this is a licensed design (although it attaches to one). A little gray market no doubt, but they do look pretty decent. It'd be nice to make this as just a complete set, with all options available, and each person can just mix/match all the various components, instead of sets.

Bolt Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Based on what I've seen people do here. Starting from scratch seems entirely doable. Anyway , I'm happy with the OWL ONE sets i have. At some point, they will be panel lined. Edited November 8, 2023 by Bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are my HMR versions Sadly, they were not able to get the numbers they wanted for PO for the 1/60th OWL One armor. FEXT had reached out to me and asked me to photograph the 2 sample units they had. I agreed and shipped them to me from Hong Kong to the US via FedEx. The 2 samples were not the final but they looked amazing. Although the 1/60 OWL-One armor never entered production, I was honored to be asked to photograph the two samples.

Mommar Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 That's a bummer. But it was really poor timing. There just weren't cheap 1/60's floating around by that point anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been interesting if they had gotten the 1/60 OWL- ONE funded. I had several conversations with FEXT about their plans for the HM-R and 1/60-scale Valkyries. I am not at liberty to say, but they had some really cool things in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
