    Just to be clear, waiting "a while" could be up to a year.  HLJ has made absolutely no attempt to explain to me why my YF-21 is still backordered, beyond a copy-pasted "filling orders in the order received" excuse.

    It's probably a little more expensive but they'll get it to you.  HLJ tried that with my Sinanju Stein 1.5 and USAGS got it to me within a week.

    I think this game would have been so much better if:

    2) If the weapons (Gunpod, missiles, head lasers, beam cannons etc) had a bit more closely followed the anime for each VF). Same for enemies as well.

     

    This isn't even necessarily true.  Scramble Valkyrie isn't realistic to the show with their three VF-1 Variants but the game actually has some design balance to it.

    Yeah, I am not rich so I’ll probably just do the basic blue, but I’d love to go for more, like have a blue to open and maybe the black to have a signed copy in box

    No, what I mean is he's nickle and diming each unlock.  $250K  for extra hands?  At the rate he's shown stuff the campaign will have to make 4.5 million to unlock everything.  Just watching the trends it won't even make what the original Kickstarter made and that didn't come anywhere near 4.5 mil.

    I'm still hoping we eventually get an HMR VF-17D/S & VF-11C/D / VF-11C Armored.  I would be really excited to see Bandai's take on the VF-17 and VF-11.

    To be honest, I'd much rather have those than the proposed VF-17T and VF-11MAXL.

    VF-17D/S and VF-11C are among my all time favorite VF designs.

    And waiting for news of release of VF-19S/F/P HMR which should be a no brainer to milk the mold.

    But with the release of the Fire Valk in HMR will we actually see a Bandai take on any of those?

    Yeah, my issue is that ordering through their site vs somewhere like HLJ or even Amazon is a massive price hike.

    The YF-21 I ordered from HLJ was a little over $30.  Amazon had them for around $50, last I checked.

    Pricing on the P-Bandai site for Gamlin's is over $70, due to the combination of shipping, taxes, and general Bandai markup.

    Amazon is going to charge tax too.  So, really, it's $57 plus tax plus shipping because they don't have an in with the US government for cheap/free shipping like Amazon does.  Not that big of a difference for domestic prices.

    Are we going to have to deal with their web exclusive nonsense again for this release, or are these going to be more widely available?

    Nonsense?  You can still get Gamlins on P-Bandai right now.

    I just received mine from EKnightmedia. Two issues:

    1. slightly bent antennae near the tip, I can live with this

    2. I don't know the proper terminology to describe them, but there are two small fins in the bottom front side of the bird, one on each side. I believe my copy has two left fins. The right one was already popped out when I remove the YF-21 from the tray. When I pop the right fin back in, it doesn't swivel at all like the left one does, which is when I realized I received two left fins. It does fit but the fin would be closer to vertical unlike the other one.

    Has anyone dealt with Eknight media before on issues like this?

    I didn't even contact them, I just went right to the replacement link MacrossJunkie Provided.
