Mine was also dispatched from office of outward exchange on 10/18. If I understand correctly it doesn't necessarily mean it will arrive two weeks later, but depends on availability of cargo space. If no space SAL gets pushed back until there is space. The longest I've waited was like six weeks. I do hope it shows up quickly, and in good condition.

Mine is in the same situation. Been in he same original post status since 10/18. Delays like this tend to happen to larger SAL packages and towards the end of the year. Hopefully it'll come inbound soon.

I wish it is a completed model rather than a resin cast kit.

He looks like he would fit the cockpits of glaug and regults nicely regardless of scale. The anime accurate scale makes it a tight squeeze.

The verdict is still out regarding the legitimacy of Icarus' claim that the KOB V2 is a officially licensed product. The last we heard it isn't, but the WEP logo has long been shown on the box even before that.

Oh that's good to know. I should actually look at the sticker sheet first! Thanks!

Does anyone have good tips on how to trim the circular UN Spacy Kite Symbol that goes on the superpacks?

Will the 31A back kibble be smaller due to the wing type being different?

Sorry slightly off topic. Is the Toynami cyclones looked down upon compared to the Beagle ride armor? I get how we hate HG and the R word. But aren't the toys the same other than branding, packaging, and head sculpt? Personally I slightly preferred the Toynami Stick (Scott) head. I got them over the Beagle just because it was a lot more affordable at the time. I am very excited about he prospect of having potentially the whole team released by Sentinel!

Thanks for the education. Seeing your pictures does inspire me to want to learn proper photography. -

Saburo your pics always amazes. Is that just one shot or a composite? How do all three stay in focus? Hopefully I won't ever find myself wanting all three! No display space, no storage space, and no money. Lol. -
Bandai knows how to make money. That's the only conclusion I can draw. But then Bandai also invalidated my conclusion by not making the Kai a straight web exclusive but only through event or lottery. So the new conclusion is, Bandai knows how to make money off Japanese.

It's just that the reaction missiles scream Macross so much more so than any others. I wonder if the ones from Ozma armor pack would fit.
-
I thought the 171 armor set only came with 2 missiles? So I'll need two sets to replicate that setup? Ouch. THanks.

I applaud you for having the real estate to display them all! I love the Poisedon, but not so much the Liger. If I get Poisedon, I'd be too tempted to get the whole set, and I am running out of storage space! So I'm sticking with just Dragon! It's soo much better than the mazingers and the Getter 1. I took my Getter 1 out last night and it frustrates me to no end! Besides, display space is reserved for Macross. -
I got the VF-171 CF fast pack many years ago when it came out but never opened it. It's been long enough that I don't even remember what's in it. I just looked it up from anymoon.com and saw that the reaction missles are indeed large. So where are the missiles in the above image from? Ozma's armor pack?

Thanks! About $330 shipped. -
would the reaction missiles from the VF-171 cannon fodder armor set fit on the VF-31?

I saw this on Mandarake the other day and couldn't resist......blew another hole on the wallet. -
There is also the fact that Sentinel is based in Hong Kong. Staffing in Hong Kong would generally be a lot lower than in Japan, plus there is the added bonus of being in proximity to China where the manufacturing facilities are located. So the general overhead for Sentinel would be lower to begin with. Combined with run volumes speculations as discussed above, Sentinel was able to price the ride armor lower. I don't know how many units Arcadia makes vs. Sentinel on their releases, but according to Sentinel's website, they're also a pretty small outfit with only 9 staff: http://sentinel-toys.com/catalog/info.php?target=company&PHPSESSID=1a52023eea8d797b5aebb7060935fe7c

I love that shot! It's got DYRL hands on though! If you re-shoot, please consider using the bubble hands as seen on TV? LOL. -

One of Saburo's photo had a 25 with tornado pack on. Seeing it motivated me to finally open up my tornado pack after too many months. So thanks Saburo! I had fun putting it together tonight.
