  1. Was about to recommend deployment of panic button, but if you zoom in really, really close on the wing you can see what must be the NO STEP markings (or some oddly regularly placed dirt).
  2. Placed my pre-order for the Premium Edition. I have a VF-1S Hikaru and a separate FAST pack set, but I think I will like the white better than the grey. I will probably list my current VF-1S for sale here after getting this one. Risky pre-order of the year. After my pre-orders for Mass Effect 3 and the No Man's Sky collector's editions, you think I'd have learned... Then again, my VF-4 pre-order went swimmingly! Quick question, while I was placing my N-Y pre-order, I first clicked 'Pay now', but then changed my mind on the PayPal login screen. This resulted in my order being cancelled. I have placed a new one. Am I getting banned? If I get banned, will I still get my paid HMR Millia pre-order?
  3. 2/8 isn't that far away. Normally I'd play the wait and see game, as Yamato/Arcadia items were traditionally easy to get after the release, but I can't count on that option for this release. Really wish we could get some official confirmation or pictures of production samples.
  4. The NY page is not the premium release. Take a look at this past VF-1S release: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/18718-kanzen-henkei-vf-1s-strike-valkyrie-roy-focker-special-movie-ver-reissue.html Tons of tiny markings that aren't on the final version.
  5. http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=240 http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=241 Pictures are exactly the same. Risky pre-order of the year.
  6. How will we know for sure at preorder-time how much tampo will be on the final version? Yamato product pictures almost always had all possible stickers tampoed on.
  7. Is this ALL the markings, every NO STEP, pilot name, part numbers on the super parts, etc, or is it just restoring the markings that used to be standard on Yamato Valkyries?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Well it's not available there anymore, so maybe it was legit
  9. And now for another kind of pre-order madness entirely... Ordered 3/23/16 for a release date of late June. The game was delayed by the developer to early August, when it was released to nearly universal disappointment. The physical component of my pre-order finally shipped this week, and arrived yesterday. For your viewing pleasure, or ridicule, the No Man's Sky Explorer's Edition.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Rule of thumb is to not only have accounts, but be signed in. I had accounts at AmiAmi and CDJ but was not logged in, and it cost me a CDJ pre-order. Fortunately HLJ was more forgiving.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    THANK YOU I had it in my cart at CDJ, but I tried to check out with paypal even though I had an account. Shame on me. By the time I logged in it was gone there.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    What IS with those 'eye' color differences between photos, anyway?

    Hi-Metal R

    Is it known whether they will ever release a set of super parts alone? I would like a set for my CF.
  14. SV-262 STILL open on CDJ: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-208937

    I might take you up on that, provided you PM me some money first. I have a CF waiting for me to pick up in a couple days, I'll see if that's any better.

    Hi-Metal R

    The Max I just received is my first Hi-Metal R VF-1. I'm kind of underwhelmed. Maybe it's because the fun-factor comes from the posing options in battroid mode and I'm more of a fighter guy? Or maybe I'm bad at transforming it. It looks like a gappy mess from the side in fighter mode. The issues I have are (left to right-ish): The chest and the back don't like to sit flush. There's a bit of a gap between the hip and the wing roots, but at least you can't see clear through. There's a gap between the knee and the wing root that you can see clear through to the other side of the fighter. The tab that holds the leg to the bottom of the plane doesn't really snap into place. There is often a larger gap here. Even in the photo, you can see through the plane here. The backpack doesn't really line up with the back in fighter mode. It's being pulled down by side tab of the legs. There is a gap between the left stabilizer and the backpack that I can't seem to get to get rid of. Is there anything in particular you can see that's mis-transformed in the picture?

    Hi-Metal R

    Is there anywhere besides N-Y I can snag a Milia pre-order?
  18. It was 33% on Rotten Tomatoes when I first saw this comment and it's 40% now. Though some of the "positive" reviews don't seem exactly that.
  19. Mine is here already. Not bad for having shipped Saturday and living on the East Coast. It feels a lot smaller and sleeker in fighter mode compared to the Arcadia version than the side-by-side photos would suggest.
