    i think i read somewhere that maiden japan is no longer at toynami? correct me if i'm wrong.

    that looks way way way darker than the original pics. i mean it doesn't look bad, but even taking into account the dim lighting this is way darker. hopefully the final product will br half way between this and the original. can anyone read or translate what is said about this picture on yamato's site? is this the final color (hoping not)?

    wow i have over 10 (13-14 maybe?) 1:60 V2 VF-1'sand don't remember seeing the hook. guess i haven't handled on in a while. lol.
  4. Mechapilot77
    Wait whats the difference with the DYRL CF vs. TV? is the head slightly different? Is that the only difference? Also do i see a backpack hook on teh Vf-1S hikaru (ala a 1/48 design?).
  5. Mechapilot77
    so tempting....i don't collect the DYRL valks but have 2 of them, if i got a max and kakizaki i'd have one of each character in the movie (but i'd be missing the VF-1S max andteh VF-1A hikaru). Might be tempted to 'troop build" the TV mass production VF-1A

    oh yeah....tracking says they have been delivered (this morning) and my doorman signed for it....time for alto to get his super armor! woot! mine was ordered form tokyohunter FWIW.
  7. Mechapilot77
    to be honest i'm surprised its not been reissued. I'm SUPER glad i jumped on them as they were about to become hard to find. i think i bought the pair from toy-wave back a couple months after they were first released? yeah the 1/48s were shelf warmers so i guess thats why the limited run, but given the demand now i'm sure they could make a nother small run and sell them all out.
  8. Mechapilot77
    wow those are pretty cool. where/who did you get them from? most of my valks are fine but a couple of the older DYRL ones have floppy shoulders and could benefit from those pieces that "lock" them into place.

    oh yeah, just got my shipment payment request from tokyo hunter for the alto super pack. i'm torn though on the super armor, i have ozma's coming on the way since its i my mind iconic for the series but didn't go in on alto's. alto rarely i shown with teh full armor so in my mind its not "necessary" BUT and its a big BUT....he does do the salute when he is in the armor though. wonder if tis even still up for preorder anywhere.....must check now...haha
  10. Mechapilot77
    thanks guys...i'll give them a try
  11. Mechapilot77
    damn had not been paying attention to the VF-1 rereleases....no way i'm going to be able to track down a vf-1d + option parts now huh? i have a vf-1d, but would love to be able to display one in gerwalk mode too (arguably the most iconic moment fothe vf-1d was in this mode)....just checked amiami/hlj/anime export/toy-wave and they are all sold out on this preorder or don't list it. gah!!!
  12. Mechapilot77
    hmmm, when are those web special fast packs and armors due again? i think i preordered/prepaid through tokyo hunter so long ago i forgot. was it april and june respectively?
  13. Mechapilot77
    thanks guys, thats what i thought but just wanted to confirm. hate having money spent with nothing for months (like whats going on with my vf-171 orders). just preordered with amiami as i remember they are fast with the shipping.
  14. Mechapilot77
    been a while since i ordered anything from the regula vendors (amiami hlj etc). out of the available preorders, do any of them let you pay upon shipment or are they all pay up front (amiami, hlj)? i know bbts is pay on shipment but they are at $165 or so.
  15. Mechapilot77
    wow got to say i like the color scheme on this. hopefully amiami or hlj puts it on preorder.
  16. Mechapilot77
    here is a thought. maybe these scalpers ARE the very e-tailers we deal with or people they've contracted out to sell their stock. i would NOT AT ALL be surprised. why sell out retail when you can scalp?
  17. Mechapilot77
    wow...WTF. i thought a twice daily check would be enough. i havea feeling there is a whole network of people contracted to buy these things the minute the go up and put them on ebay. this sold out WAY quicker than the vf-25's or the YF-29. ridiculous. no other options for US buyers huh? i'm steamed
  18. Mechapilot77
    gosh this thing looks beautiful. i can't preorder soon enough. and yes i'm checking back on this thread everyday in case someone posts a preorder from amiami or hlj. i really hope they release the armor packs soon afterwards as there isnn't enough grey on this thing for me (its almost always seen with the armor and weapons). also REALLY hope they release the CF blue/teal scheme as i think it looks better that way. the VF-171 is a beautiful design (i heavily prefer it to the vf-17 but to each his own!).
  19. Mechapilot77
    booyah!!!! although i want the blue/green mass production ty0pe more, but this thing looks GREAT. Also, i think it needs its extra weapons as usually Alto's was seen with them, that makes it a nightmare ex PLUs or soemthing like that right? haha. i've seriously been waiting for this since the VF-27 came out what was it almost 2 years ago now? I thought it had to b next. As is i'm glad there was a hiatus and a redone vf-25 (i hope they get aroudn to releaseing michael's!!). so happy right now! now i just got to remember to check back here on this thread everyday to see when it goes up on preorder at amiami or hlj. haha
  20. Mechapilot77
    man i like this thing alot. looks much better than the V1 and i actually LIKE the coloring vs. the V1 also. man, and i've been thnking this since V1.....someone REALLY needs to remold the arm of the stand in a CLEAR plastic and release it. the battroid and especially gerwalk would look much better without a black stick up its butt. I'd use the flightpose stands but i don't thint it'll be enouogh once you add the armor on this guy.
  21. Mechapilot77
    your lips are sealed but your fingers can still work a keyboard and mouse right?
  22. Mechapilot77
    i hope you are right. and i hope it happens both sooner (bandai get on this!!!) and later (yamato releases an even better more accurate version 5 years or so down the line). i don't know why i like the 171 and color schemes so much. i just do.
  23. Mechapilot77
    honestly no been my experience. no one is faster than amiami though.
  24. Mechapilot77
    wow, was never a huge fan of the vf-17 until i saw this thread and teh collectiondx pics. $291+shipping from japan may be a bit much for something i haven't wanted for YEARS (i'm not a mac 7 fan). decisions decisions. this thing does look awsome though. curse the yen thats been on steroids though.
  25. Mechapilot77
    just checking in...the heavy armor pack for the renewal ozma has no preorders up yet right?
