I'm going to hold it in my private warehouse, gambling that the VF-25F will also show up for retail again at HLJ later next month. Or should I??? Is it much cheaper shipping 2 valks separately vs. 2 valks in one shipment?
-
From the pics there is nothing special with this valk - no sniper rifle or grappling hooks, no extra pilot, no radar dish, no Ex-Gear Alto. If MSRP is in the 12000y range I might bite. But not for 14000y like the other VF-25's.
-
How do you give a preorder to someone else? Just arrange a specific time with someone and the release it, then it automatically comes up for the other person to add to cart? I know people do this for BBTS but not for HLJ. Just got my payment request from HLJ from the "June restock".
-
Well hopefully they fix gerwalk mode. It's the only mode where the VF-19 stinks (nose heavy, needs more stable platform for balance - ratcheting ankles??) An extra seat and figure for Yang?? That would be nice. Considering the VF-19 was 22000y retail I'm betting this will for 26000y.
-
Oh man, time to panic sell my VF-19. . .. So prepare myself for another 2am F5'ing session??? Hope it's under 24000 yen.

Is Brera considered a "hero"?
-
I was talking about these tabs here. Looks like the gunpod handle can fit in there w/o attachment if you can truly remove the fin from the arm.
-
Nevermind, according to this picture, looks like you can attach the gunpod without the attachments.
-
For those that have it, can you install the gunpod in between the arms in fightermode just like the other renewal VF-25's (while tailfin is off)? Or do you always have to use the attachments? Sorry just itching to know. I'd prefer to keep the attachments in the box so I don't lose them like I do with the extra hands.
-
Oh has this been the case? Reissue QTYs in less numbers than the initial offering? I'm assuming the VF-27 v1.5 is the "initial offering" so we should be good in stock QTYs for that release as well.
-
Yeah, take that NY =) If it goes through (hopefully by the 28th), I'm going to cancel my NY VF-25F preorder and try the waiting game with that one as well . . . my lock in was way marked up at $200 anyway. Hopefully this is a trend. Would like to get an Ozma somewhere down the line as well, without having to stay up all night F5'ing.
-
I grabbed one from hlj, but lately for some backorders they haven't been pulling through for me. We'll see about this one. Great price too.
-
Only 28 available at Amazon Japan. So, chances of amiami re-upping their stock is low, huh? I guess I will just move onto the 25F then.
-
Like a CNC machine for the house? Aren't those like multiples of tens of thousand dollars? Will take a while to get it affordable. Plus all of the cutting fluid, maintenance necessary for the machine, etc. makes for a real big pain in the butt.
-
That is a fair question, similar question would be why do people collect coins, stamps, baseball cards, etc. when all they do is sit there. To each his own. Basically if I bought for retail I always wear them. If I bought for aftermarket prices, I usually hold onto it unused. And I have several that I bought aftermarket specifically to wear, but for those I buy used, it's much cheaper (almost by $100). That being said, shoes are meant to be worn, and toys are meant to be opened and played with/transformed. There are much better things to invest your money in than boxes.

Truth. . . But I recently unloaded a bunch of my Air Jordan collection, because Nike keeps on reissuing them. . . keeps on decreasing the values of the older releases so I got fed up and got out of the game.
-
Shipping for HKC is running at around $24. However the yen is getting stronger so HLJ might be more expensive anyway even with the combined shipping. HKC prices aren't based on the yen.
-
Is it still possible for the gunpod to sandwich in between the arms in fighter?
-
Well if the VF-1A TV has the new crotch I might as well pull the trigger on HKC. Great price.
-
It's a v2.0 though. I was looking for a v2.1 or 2.2 with the better 1/48 style crotch lock. The VF-1A CF is still $140 shipped on HK, just waiting for the price to drop.
-
I'm looking for any v2.2 VF-1 valk at 12000y shipped or below. . I look on these sites everyday and have found some for 14000y shipped, just patiently waiting for a sale or coupon and I'll buy on first sight. VF-1S is nice but tends to be priced more than the other types!

I guess so: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=C3335P0021&mode=vintage -
Guess I've been lucky, last two orders from amiami and hobbysearch took exactly 14 days from shipping notice to post office delivery note. Both SAL registered.
-
At $160+ we are paying for a product, yes SAL is a gut wrenching torture of a two weeks for delivery. Tracking doesn't even update until after it's been delivered, which adds to the agony. I check tracking updates obsessively and there's nothing more than I hate than to never see updates either on the japanpost site or usps site.

Nice collection. . do you recommed the VF-22? Or just get it for completeness sakes? Thinking about it.
