Oooooooooh, here's what we do. The base is big enough to fit an arduino, the pipe is nice and hollow for wires, so all nice for brainy wiring. Put super bright LEDs in the feet, but also put a light sensor in there. So if anyone at a show gets curious enough about the internals to take out there inspection flashlight and point it there, THE INNER LIGHT WILL SHINE BACK! :P

Full manual scans for those that like to build in their head instead of physically: https://imgur.com/a/VjcWEYc This thing is super fun. Opening the box and looking at all the huge part filled me with so much child-like glee that it fully shut up my adult thinking about how much this cost. Sure the detail is a lot softer than I would have liked, but this was never going to be on par with actual aircraft kits. For a giant cartoon robot kit this is more than fine. Definitely a fantastic accessory for the 1/20 scale pilot figure kit. Now to try and rebuild the cockpit for TV version......

Yeeeeeeeep. $592CAD turned into $652CAD ;_;

Hmm, that kinda makes me regret choosing EMS. I got horrendous fees from other carriers in the past due to their "convenience" fees at the border. What was the total wallet damage? For me it was $593CAD.

Did CBSA hit it?

Welp. amiami finally willing to ship mine. Subtotal: 32,980 JPY EMS Shipping: 15,600 JPY Grand total: 48,580 JPY Now let's see how long it takes to get through the Canada Post strike backlog....

For those that have theirs already, what's the outside diameter of the gunpod and roughly how long is it?
-
So what's everyone's plan for painting? Spraycans? Endless airbrushing? Mini sprayguns? HVLP guns?

Those look way too much like NACA ducts to be a molding mistake, they're facing the correct way for Valk mode too, but why they would be on the fins I have no idea. I'm assuming that's just the only way they could mold the part, since if they made it solid you'd have horrendous shrinkage, which we've seen in some test shots all over the place Those are on the Valk-only runners Which there will be at least 3 4 of, including the above, the following image, the straight legs runner we've seen a lot in the early days of development and wherever they put the rest of the landing gear bay parts we saw in the Max video a few pages back

You have to remember this is a minimum factory release, the 25th in the lineup and they've always put this much effort into the figures. The gerwalk is technically just an accessory for the pilot :P
-
A/J/S heads are already included in the kit. Pilot runners are entirely separate so we'll probably get extra ones as plain minimum factory releases. From the looks of it the runners look laid out to only swap two runners to make it a VF-1D.

Twitter flooding this morning with shops posting their stocks EDIT: lots more unboxing and building on the internet now Full runner layout
-
At least these guys have their stock
-
Thanks for the shipping cost info! This lovely gentleman has an unboxing thread on twitter. The Box Inception keeps going it seems. There's three flat boxes inside the colorful box which is inside the plain cardboard box which seems to get an extra cardboard box all around by whoever shipped it to him (and presumably for international buyers too) Now I just want complete manual scans while I wait for mine. Hobby Search doesn't seem to post PLAMAX manuals like they do with everything else

Can whoever ordered from amiami report when they start sending out payment requests and shipping prices?

The worst news to wake up to https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2018/1115_02_en.html It's only a rotating strike, it's not that bad, if only they had waited a week it would have shipped and arrived ;___;

That "new" info is on the previous page of this thread :P
-
Oh god, is it finally happening!? I need to lube up my wallet....

Remember they did announce the vanilla Valk development first. Gerwalk didn't show up until over a year later. Parts breakdown on runners accounted for different modes from the very start and at this point the Valk should be ready to go whenever their contract factory has the capacity as all the design work seems finished.

I have a suspicion that due to the massive size of the molds needed Max Factory couldn't use their previous maker in China and instead had to go to someone with much larger injection machine. Larger injection machines are usually used for stuff like appliance cases and dashboards, where it's one large part with no spues/runners left attached to it once the product leaves the factory. While those guys have the necessary machines, maybe asking them to do model kit molds with lots of interconnected parts wasn't the best idea.
-
So while we're getting delayed again, could they at least post the manual online so that we can plan our builds better? I ended up going back and looking through all the available pics of the runners so far. They've actually shown runners for pretty much everything by now except the arms and hands. Unless I missed those. Would very much appreciate if someone posted pics of those runners. Another interesting thing I found is a pretty massive mold redesign for the wing runner over the years of development

Just sitting and waiting for that shipping email....

toco toco channel put up a video profiling Max Watanabe and in it we get a brief glimpse of the landing gear bays of the vanilla VF-1
