How is the HMR VF-2SS? I really like the fighter but don't care about the SAP. Don't know if it's worth buying or not, seems really fiddly.

by the way just a heads up

Paypals currency conversion seems to be set to "ON" now, even if you previously have it set to "bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice like before"

Ugh, I ALWAYS forget how to undo that It's such a hassle

I wouldn't be upset if Bandai paused on SDF for a while and moved on to plus or 7 or FB2012. I'm still waiting for that YF-21 they teased all those years ago.

I also wouldn't mind an HMR Layzner, Ideon, or Scopedog

Pretty upset that the VF-1A comes with the fighter mode stand adapter that's used with Super parts instead of the one the GBP VF-1J had. There better be a super parts set coming (P-Bandai)

Wow, that's pretty good.

I think you're right! Great explanation.

Do we have a specific release date for the Hikaru 1J? I want to figure out PW shipping dates.

Go to Tamashii.jp They always list the exact date of their releases for the month.

I missed the Pre-Orders for the VF-1J, Other than praying Amiami/HLJ open orders again or stalking manda where you should I look around for one after release?

Not too bad!

Unrelated, but can someone tell me about WAVE's VOTOMS releases? and is the Actic Gear line from Takara coming back? I JUST started buying those from Mandarake!

I'm so hyped for Dougram! It makes sense to ease of the Macross, after this initial slew of releases there aren't many high demand machines left to make from SDF/DYRL (Please keep in mind most people aren't Macross obsessed and don't live on MW before bringing up your niche mecha waifu). The next releases would have to be planes from other series and if they did that they'd begin to over saturate the market and releases would start eating each others sales.

This makes me very happy, I pray we get a Scopedog soon too, maybe even a Giant Gorg!

Why do I feel like these kits have better proportions than the 1/72 ones? The transforming kit of the 31 feels like the nose is sitting too high, but this one looks like it just has a better profile.

Because these don't have more than 50 parts and don't need to transform 3 ways

I'm not too worried about missing this PO, hero valks surely get reissued at least once, right? R-right?

FINALLY! I don't care that's it's a little pricey I'm glad we FINALLY have a kit for this! Now I'll never need to buy the Arcadia. I've built Waves Battroid and fighter mode VF-1 kit that they have really nice quality!

Painted my VF-171 up like the VF-17S

Perfect! I can work on my cruiser and Attack mode SDF-1's at the same time now!

OH MAN! THERE WERE RECASTS!? UGHHHHHHH WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT EARLIER!

I didn't take a picture of it because don't want to be blacklisted.

"Planned to be sold in July." It probably means it will be sold at Wonder Fest 2016 Summer, I guess.

Better find a Middle Man

GOOD NEWS! BATTLE 7 KIT!

BAD NEWS, IT'S AN INFINITY MONEY ARCADIA RESIN KIT

I will need to double check but I believe no line art or sketches were included.

For anyone interested in the VF-4 kit, I have attached a couple photos showing the parts breakdown and a photo of the assembled kit originally provided by the kit maker

My god that's beautiful

I stumbled on here while searching for her news. Anyway on gg infinite they have the Roy 1s for $120 U.S.. They also have a holiday sale so if there's anything else available of interest there is some potential for savings.

Stupid spell check I was trying to write hmr news not her news.

You can get Roy's for $20 less on Nippon Yasan

That VF-4 is very tempting.

More than a few eBay listings average around $120 US shipping included, which beats these.

Cheaper still on Amazon

Just got my VF-1J GBP

Hip connector is mis assemble and on backwards, thanks Bandai!

then you could always on sell the kit! and you're ahead!

or you gonna build it?

I honestly don't think anyone wants this thing, it looks pretty lousy. I might later on build it as a Battroid only kit since it has buff proportions

good to hear you can get your money back anyways..

Yeah, I got refund and they told me to keep the kit.

What was the link or seller in Amazon if you don't mind me asking?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QYNIGG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

That's the item, the seller was Tokyo Line. They say is was an accident it was listed there (yeah, sure) and that they're going to refund my payment
