Old Man

Sweet! All 7 Regults accounted for! 3 on the way from CDJapan, 3 from AmiAmi soon to follow, and my 7th from HLJ will have to wait until more things arrive at my PW

+1. And with this kind of proportion.

Hello, nurse!!!

Noice! I can put a little light in the cockpit to make the eye glow

Alright! Payment request from HLJ!

i got a shipping notice for my regults today from cdj!

Same here! Now just waiting to hear from HLJ and for AmiAmi to bundle my orders

Nothing from AmiAmi yet

Yes, and I'd really like to know if there is any difference at all between the Yamato and Arcadia (besides the box). Are the conformal missiles more secure? Any color tweaks by Arcadia?

I'm liking the size

PM sent!

Is that an escalator that swings down for the crew? Crazy. Amazing detail.

The ladder detail is on the left

Wow, Bandai is just ticking all of the boxes on the gimmicks I was hoping for in this thing.

Touché Bandai...touché...

Too bad HLJ's Regult limit is not 3. The only places I can buy 1 more Regult are cdjapan and nippon-yasan.

Where else did you buy from?

The VF-1S Blue Roses is one of my favorites.

Yeah...you and Kanedas Bike just basically named all my dream paint schemes, except I would have to add the 004 and 006 VF-1J Blue Roses on top of the 002 VF-1S. The Blue Roses 1Js have the coolest hexagonal digital camo scheme.

I had these all planned in 1/48, but stalled on getting them out to Kurt before he retired from commission work

Both Minmay Guards and Enigma - on VF-1S.

They seem cliche at this point, but those are still my favorite custom schemes.

-b.

You're not alone

Now I want the MkI.

With the DAMN CLAWS!!!

Took the words right outta my mouth

Why do you think Arcadia made the colour change? Was a reason ever given? Cuz in the future there will be nothing to distinguish DYRL and TV valks! lol

Not a fan of the new Arcadia white though.... although I understand the pinkish tone is designed to prevent yellowing.

My fav white is still the Yamato TV white!

I thought you liked the Arcadia white the most...

I'm still on the fence...

A little more than a week away for the Regults to come out. Woo hoo.

I've been waiting a LONG time for a decent Regult toy. Let's all hope this one doesn't disappoint

Is anyone else banking on a separate release for the light and heavy missile versions?

Just started picking up Yeti stands for myself and I must say I wish I had started getting them a long time ago! Gonna take awhile to get enough stands!

Thanks to Saburo for showing me how to mount more than 1 per stand. They were a little confusing at first from just looking at pictures, but once I got them in hand they were a breeze.

That weathering looks phenomenal!

I think it shows the counterweight here.

Sorry guys, but after just purchasing a second VT-1, I have to withdraw my previous vote. On the very slight chance that Arcadia actually cares what we want (yeah right), I'm voting for some M&M action...and because I don't have a grand to pay for the ones on the secondary market...

Even if Arcadia started to re-release the VF-1 line again, I'd still miss all the tampo Yamato was including in their later releases...

Hey Old Man, How were the shoulders?

I haven't received the new one yet, and my original is still MISB. I've heard that basically all the V2 VT-1 shoulders will fail eventually, which is why I picked up a set of matching Yamato replacement hinges from Graham back in the day. Too bad I only have 1 set...I guess one of these will stay MISB indefinitely

NY has it coming out on the 29th.

Thanks Sildani!

This is my #1. I have one already but it had a defective canopy and I only made it worse trying to fix it.

Bummer. What method did you use to try to fix the canopy?
