Nothing will ever beat the "Thunder Hummer" for me.

It certainly do - nice work on the gold visor

Is a bright white VF-0S V 2.0 coming soon?

I hope so because I avoided that yellowish mess that Yamato crapped out the first time. My body (and wallet) are ready.

Looking for a new unit preferably. Please PM me if you have one.

**FOUND**

Great to see some 1/48 love as well as their siblng, the beautiful VF-0A with matching ghost booster.

Yes. You also have to take into account fees and shipping. Those two are what makes things way more expensive.

Find out what the 1D weighs for on websites like HLJ. I usually add 500grams after that. Take note that you can underestimate your costs sometimes cause you wont know the domestic shipping and shipping till after it comes to their warehouse. So it doesn't hurt to overestimate a little.

The fees are also a killer as well as shipping cost twice, once from seller to proxy and the second time from the proxy to you. And the proxies use a horrible conversion Y-$ rate so they get you there as well. Typically, ebay is cheaper for a lot of stuff once you add in all that, but sometimes the stuff you want is only on YAJ.

I hope they make a new stand, the launch arms were stupid since they were upside down.

The Super Strike parts will be getting rereleased, as there has already been

Tweeted pics of their development.

I'm pretty sure they realized that but a little thing called gravity was probably more important

Unless you have the vf-0a unknown soldier. Its like a completely different toy. Love mine.

I'll take it. Check your PM.

WOW. Those did not last.

Wow, people are starting to lose their minds.

Some countries just rake your over the coals. Here in the U.A.E. it's a reasonable 5% if the value is over $250. Europe I hear though is ridiculous.

Line art accuracy is important, but having a fun and attractive toy trumps super strict line art IMO.

Very well said.

Really clean. Better than anything that would have been done officially.

Damn it!! Placed an order on Friday for 1A DYRL Hikaru and 1A Cavalier and got them canceller by the seller today cause they were out of stock.

*sigh*....

Feel your pain bro. I hate it when they do crap like that. I'm not quite sure why it's so hard for sellers to figure out their stock situation.

I really hope that's on another currency.

My thought as well.

WHERE do you find 7x Launch Arms these days?

Bought two more; I think I'm *finally* done (maybe)

I guess no one mentioned the 1/48 Thunder Hummer kit yet ....

That's mine - new 1/48 Thunder Hammer Valk - price not to be discussed due to sticker shock (puts all of the above to shame )

Sorry to see that. In any case, if the company doesn't care, then I don't care to buy their products.

He's definitely not a member.

Nice. Very clean.

Interesting. Looks a little strange though.

So I'm sitting here staring at my two fockers; the vf-1s dyrl and the vf-1s tv version that arrived today and I gotta say I'm not a fan of the super white plastic of the tv version. It seems "unnatural" for lack of a better word. My vf-1s Hikaru with option parts comes tomorrow and hope it isn't white like this.

The same doesn't hold true for 1/48 though where the TV versions are actually yellower than DYRL as I found out recently comparing a 1/48 VF-1J with a 1/48 Roy.

That's the official Yamato display stand, which works well for 1/48 (F/G mode) and 1/60 valks (all modes for VF-1).

And they are an incredible PIA to find these days from my experience (and expensive).

Good question. Strangely, those were by far the hardest things to find. Let's just say I paid through the nose for them and took all stock I could find in the colors I wanted (eBay and here on this forum). You can still find original color launch arms on eBay, but at a premium price (to be fair, it is essentially the current going rate) and from a seller with dubious credentials. But if new is what you want; that's the option atm.
