I just cancelled my CDJapan order if anyone wants it.

Didn't some of the HMR preorders stay open for hours?

Up at HLJ!

edit: too slow... getchyou one!!!

SUCCESS through CDJAPAN! Gonna try to snag another from HLJ.

so, when is pre-order madness again?

Just a quick update: HLJ offered a refund, exchange or 10% credit. I remember reading that Arcadia does not supply replacement parts which is why (I assume) is the reason that HLJ can't offer me one. I believe that they do everything they can and IMO they are truly top notch when it comes to service!

Thank you guys. I have a lot of faith in HLJ so we'll see what happens. I'm not sure if I should transform it or not. If HLJ asks me to send the whole toy back then it's best to leave it alone, but if they agree to send a new canopy then it behooves me to put it through it's paces during that 10 day window. I'll wait a day or two for them to respond I suppose.

HLJ. The part's been photographed on and off of the plane. and emailed to HLJ's trouble dept. I am hopeful and this is why I always get my high dollar stuff through them. Hopefully they will only want me to send them the broken part.

Just got my -OS today!

...with a cracked canopy

Gonna let it go until tonight, then it's off to eBay. Happy Holidays everyone!

VF-1S Sold. Thanks!

Price drop for the VF-25A and Super parts.

Still no more news of the Hi-metal VF-2SS with SAP.............sigh

That's the only one I'm interested in.

To be honest, I'm sick to death of VF-1 toys.

I wish I could go 20 years back in time and show you this post

Roy is on hold pending purchase. Thanks!

I have a couple of toys to sell. Both are missing things, so please read closely before inquiring/purchasing. Thanks for looking!

-Bandai VF-25A Renewal with Super parts. Only transformed a few times, otherwise in new/displayed condition. MISSING 1 SHOULDER COVER WHERE THE MISSILE BOXES ATTACH AND GUNPOD. Everything else is there and the Super parts are %100 complete. $225 plus shipping.

-Arcadia VF-1S Roy. MISSING THE TRANSLUCENT BLUE PIECE IN ONE OF THE KNEE COVERS. MISSING STICKERS. Briefly displayed and otherwise new and complete. $125

Pics are soon to follow! I'll give it 48 hours posted here then they're off to eBay.

My Strike arrived today via My Kombini - Decently packed and prompt enough service that I'd buy from them again.

Anybody have one to sell for a decent price? Plz?

You can also try cutting up a paper clip for temporary. The guys over at the model section might know more on pining and where to get those hollow ones .

Hollow pins are called "roll pins." a decent hardware or tool store should carry some.

Thanks, been looking to get some Regults - kept missing the pre-order windows. Never used that site before though, anyone else have experience with mykombini.com? I know someone mentioned they had pretty good feedback on eBay (back on Page 58), but I don't see much mention of them on the Net.

I pulled the trigger with them on a Strike Valk, their service seems to be okay, but I'm still waiting for the mail to get it to me. Tracking in Japan was fine, but then it seems to have been swallowed up in Los Angeles

These are still available.

Maybe a small nail you could cut the ends off of?

My Kombini has the GBP and Strike in stock. Marked up a little, but not as bad as NY.

*They marked 'em up since yesterday. and the 1J is sold out joiks.

The original Bandai 1/100's from the late 80's had integrated landing gear. granted they were a bit crude but they got the job done and you didn't have to carry heat shield and landing gear around... the gun pod didn't mount in fighter mode though. :/

For the record, I would prefer crude landing gear and a simple rotating 2 sided canopy like the original joke machines from the 80's Those two things would make the HMR's perfect IMO

Thank You!!
