Got my Super Os today.  I have the same issue with the back part of the right foot being really stiff.  I just worked it back and forth and put more pressure on it and it seems to be moving almost completely back.  It is still stiff, but I can get it to maybe 95% fully back, so if you are still having issues with it, I would say just keep working it back and forth.

They definitely used a different finish for the feet on this one.  Whether that is affecting the foot, I don't know, but it only seems to be one side. 

Same experience with mine. Is it possible that a tiny defect in the mold is growing bigger over use? My Elint had the same issue.

I'm interested in the Rick and Minmay figures. Do you have to pay upfront at the Kitz Concept site?

Not much into the Thunder Hummer, but I'm glad there's another 3rd party engrossing the 1/100 Macross catalog. The orbital booster is a must, so I'm keeping an eye to this thread.

Yeah, sorta. Use the 'Live Chat' box at the bottom right of the screen to talk to a rep and request cancellation. From what I've read there is less chance of them blacklisting you if you use chat instead of emailing them...

Thanks, Tober. I'll do that.

Got one from NY. Does anybody know how to cancel a preorder from them? I don't see any option to edit my orders, do you have to write a letter or something?

Cool. I think I'll wait for NY to see if they have a better price. I also hope Nexx's comes with an optional leg armor.

Pricey. I wish I could buy multiples.

To join the wish list bandwagon (hey, this is fun!) I'd go with a HMR Comanchero. It'd look fantastic in a hangar diorama. A set of 3 lancers with action stand would also be a must for me.

I imagine a large Japanese retailer like Yodobashi Camera probably got stuck with a lot of sets with 2 right armor pieces...

Sure, once it's completed for the contest this weekend.

WOO-HOO! Thanks, Tekering

I've added some rudimentary markings...

...and installed some lighting effects...

Lots of work still to do...!  

Awsome! Care to post a list of the base parts used in case I commit to building one? I recognise the Armored Factory but that's it.

I like how it looks when they're both plain. I'm sure I'd also like how they'd look if both had Tampo too hehe.

I really like these figures. My only gripe is they didn't include gallants like on the 1/10 figs.

Maybe somebody can upload one to shapeways?

>EXO< is on it already

Bite the bullet and PO'd the pair at NY.

Genius' review sold me this morning. Then I learned they were sold out everywhere (or in stock for an arm and a leg) and felt bummed. A couple hours later there were PO's for the reissues everywhere at great prices. Must be my lucky day.

Crazy how NY has Stick in stock for 33,500 and on Preorder for 17,800.

I had already cancelled my extra PO with Hlj and still got the cancellation letter the next day and the coupon this morning. 

I didn't like the Yamato YF-21 at all. Battroid was a sore to the eyes for me, so I skipped it and waited (I still do) for a better iteration. I'd be happy to see Bandai giving it a go. Even the 1/100 Hi-Metal teased a while would make me so happy at this point. 

I got the same eMail this morning. The funny thing is I had already cancelled the YF-19 I ordered from them last night.

If/when bandai decides to resurrect that mold, I'll get at least a couple. The YF-21 is my favorite Valk and that prototype still looks like the best transforming YF-21 toy yet.   

Haven't received my confirmation from Hlj yet, but got a confirmed one from Ami, so I'm good. I'll go get some sleep now. Good night everyone and congrats on your catches. Let's hope Bandai considers a YF-21 after tonight

Ami is down!

NY is up again. I searched for DX Chogokin and it narrows it down quite a bit (I tried adding Macross to the search but apparently that's too much for the search engine). Anyway, no place holder for the 19.

Sorry I'm late to the party. When is preorder night for this again?

No place holder at NY as of yet. They tend to list a few hours later than everybody else don't they? Last time I panicked so I ordered someplace else, but I like them the best.

Yeah, but since this valkyrie seems so much cheaper than any other HMR I have seen, I thought this might be  an affordable way to go. But if it is a pain to remove the old paint job.... *sigh*

Too bad I don't like the 35th anniversary's paint job.

It could take some time, but I totally see Bandai releasing an all white VF-1 for custom heads at some point.

Regult missile set secured! After three months, but who's counting? Good news is my Elintseeker cleared customs already. Looks like Mexican Customs is finally catching up.

Looks good, definitely want one since I missed out on the GBP. A little spendy but not as bad as aftermarket GBP

How'd you figure? Do we have a price tag on this already?

Well at least you have hope, I'm fairly certain my second regult set is lost in shipment.... Started a case last week and no word on that either.

Now I'm worried.
