  1. I'm glad that at least some stores send out notifications. HLJ does not. I generally don't know that a PO through them has been delayed until I get one of their periodic "open order reminder" emails that includes release dates and start to think that I'm crazy because something I was expecting to release soon is now scheduled a few months later, so I go back and look at emails and discover that HLJ quietly changed the release date. I know that they're at the mercy of the manufacturers, but they could do a better job of letting customers know about changes. I try to combine shipments through my Private Warehouse as much as possible, so I've started tracking release dates more closely on my own. This kit delay, likely to the end of May, just complicated my March shipment plans.
  2. Looks like the VF-1J Battroid kit is delayed until sometime in May: https://www.goodsmile.com/ja/news/5811 The news didn't show up on the English version of their site, but I noticed that Amazon Japan changed the release date to end of May, so I checked the Japanese version of their site and, sure enough, there it was:
  3. That turned out really nice. I love how the grey adapter blends in with the valk. Glad to hear that you like the design. I put a lot of work into them!
  4. I know that some of the proxy services in Japan use them for highly competitive preorders. Mandarake's site is simple enough that you could probably build something useful, but you could end up automatically buying a poor quality used item unless you add some natural language processing filters to catch that. Mandarake tends to use standard descriptions for item condition, so that helps.
  5. Schrödinger's Valkyrie! And this is why, once I open mine, it will be transformed to battroid mode and stay that way forever. I'm keeping my original 171 CF in fighter mode for similar reasons (potential explodium).
  6. My 171 has been sitting on a shelf, unopened, since it arrived in late January, mainly due to all of the poor-quality-control comments in this thread. Odds of me having one that doesn't come with paint issues, bent antennas, and/or stress marks are very low. I will open it, eventually, but I'm waiting until I can counterbalance that experience with opening something that won't disappoint me. Might be another two months before that can happen, given current release schedules.
  7. Finally had a little time to wrap up the design work on the armament set, do a final test print, and upload everything to Cults 3D: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/weapon-armament-set-for-the-1-55-vf-1-armored-valkyrie @nightmareB4macross, let me know if you still want a set. I plan on printing and prepping a few of them for my own projects and thought you might want one for your museum (or a custom).
  8. Results of the latest test print. Panel line details came out well and the double RMS-1 pylon attachment system is working as designed. I'm not 100% happy with how the rear section of the UUM-7 is printing, though. Need to fix that before making the files available for purchase.
  9. Yep, I made a few of those customs for MW members back in the day. The conversion kit was really nice. Not surprising, since it was made by @captain america.
  10. I'm still waiting for the 1/20 Strike Battroid so I can complete my set. Won't happen, though....
  11. I could have sworn at one point you posted pictures of your attic and it was filled with your "overflow" items. Maybe it was just boxes?
  12. Just ask @tekering about attics....
  13. I would love it if "normal" meant that we'd finally be getting a TV version of the SDF-1, but I'm not holding my breath. My best guess is that it's the non-premium-finish DYRL version.
  14. My DX is going to be in Battroid mode permanently, precisely because I want to keep my Yamato in Fighter mode permanently due to its superior profile.
