MW user VF5SS actually made some replacement hands for the Toynami Alpha:

Excellent transaction with izzyfcuk.

I've got a loose vf1 cavaliers, a loose yf-21, and that og destroid we talked about many years ago.

Oh y

I still have plans on releasing them casted on color. Depends on my recaster.

V.2 figures are definitely coming out also. It's good that we waited because they'll be better now that I've learned how to model clothing better.

I probably will offer painting services.

If you guys want to be on a mailing list for these things, send me a PM or visit my FB page. https://www.facebook.com/PlasticCretins and give it a like for updates.

I'm hoping to keep it a $100 each ship, depending on how much to print and recaster's fee.

Very cool, I didn't know you had a fb page for your custom wares!

Kurisama you have planned to do "hard point for 1/60 wings" for the old YF-19?

Wouldn't you be able to use the yamato hard point pieces he already sells?

Hey, yeah it's the same incident as before. I was just following the instructions they provide when you order, which said to reply to the store email. It's cool, I know how to handle it for next time.

It took me about half a month to get any sort of response from the Fukuoka store. I finally got an answer by emailing international@mandarake.co.jp, so keep that in mind if you don't hear anything for two weeks or so.

Man, it's great to see those guys again! Makes me want to unpack my collection and fire up the old ALPS printer. All of my valks are still in boxes from my last move....

Doooo itttt

Yeah you can see the results.

I'm guessing those indents are for the super packs.

DON'T FORGET TO USE MAGNETS WITH THE SUPER PACKS ARCADIA, DO YOU HEAR ME?!

Interesting choice. Was this a popular release before? I can't remember.

I'm not a M7 fan, so it's an easy pass for me.

Holy cow, 17 days, three emails, and an email to international@mandarake.co.jp and they finally sent me an invoice...

Well, at least I got the item.

Got mine from hlj. No issues at all.

So has this project completely dropped the Yamarcadia valks at this point?

I haven't gotten that far yet, but it is a possibility. I would need to sell at least 1,000 for injection molding. Do you think there is that much demand for these?

Start a kickstarter and post it here and on transformers boards?

Also, depending on cost, I'd be in for 10.

Mine was almost same day from private warehouse to shipped.

Just got my YF-19 and it's great! Put it into gerwalk mode and found no obvious issues.

However I'm having a real hard time plugging the fast pack leg parts in securely. Is there some trick to this that I'm not getting?

Hah, no. I was having the same issues this morning.

Hah! Now you're just trying to make us all jealous

Eff it, this thing is almost as bad at the old YF-19 with fast packs. The whole back end just falls apart at the slightest touch. I'm just displaying it without them.

Finally had a chance to start putting mine together. I really, REALLY wish they had gone with magnets to help keep the fast packs on...

I feel you on that, nothing worse than dead silence. If they're still not contacting you hopefully you can just cancel the order and get a full refund (Paypal, Visa), then order from someone else.

I should clarify, since this is the blacklist thread, that I have not paid yet (thankfully). But still, at least confirm or cancel the order, so I can get the item elsewhere.

try emailing international@mandarake.co.jp while c.c.ing the Fukuoka store, that may help. one will contact the store. i had to do that for one order

Thanks David, I will try that and hopefully I'll get an answer.

I emailed Mandarake Fukuoka a second time on April 1st to inquire about my order. My original order was on 16 March and I've received neither confirmation nor cancellation. It's not a big deal if it's out of stock, I don't care. But at least let me know dammit!

$15 WTF!

Hahaha...wow. As much as the QC factor sucks, this is a lot more damning on AmiAmi.

Could you see if any board member in Japan is generous enough to try and proxy exchange it for you?

Are you only looking for VF-1's, or any of the latter era Yamato valks, ie VF-21, etc?
