Tober, can you please send me the tips?

I missed out again. All those pre-order usually open very late (or early should I say) for the folks in east coast or central time zone.

HF usually has a later release date (couple/few months). I don't know why. I bought some Hot Toys 12" figures and resin kits from them before. They usually come through except one time they delayed it over and over again, so I ended up cancelling the order. I hope they will come through for the RVF-25.

Yeah, it is closed again.

Made my reservation (pre-order)! Thanks!!! The status is showning "WAITING". Is that normal? I never bought from Otacute before. I hope they don't end up cancelling a bunch of orders if they get less than they expected...

Amiami pre-order also opened for SSP and VE-1

nanoplash, got the package safely today. Have not got a chance to check the parts yet, but the box is pristine. Thank you again for doing the GB!

EXO, can I get one 1/60 side covers Basic Set($20) and one Complete Set($25) both in gray. Hope I am not too late to join.

Please checks PMs.

PM sent.

UN Spacy, can you PM me also? Thanks!

Ditto. I hope the VF-25G is the same way.

Yes, hlj has it in stock. Just placed an order.

I looked at all the parts again, and I think I figure out what the problem is. Comparing my sets to Loute's post in page 5, I think even though I order two sets of single (5mm), I got 1 hinge of 4mm and the second hinge is a mix of 5mm and 4mm(the ball part), making my second hinge unless. I thought Shapeways prints two pieces as a set together. Another possiblity is they did make the set correct, but messed up while packing, meaning another person's order maybe wrong (order 4mm set but get one and a half set of 4mm and one piece of 5mm).

I got my order from Shapeways last week but did not have time to check it out until today.

First of all, I want to thank VF5SS for making these joints. I ordered two sets of white (double), one set of white polish (double) and two set of white singles. The white polish is a little smoother than the regular. If I order more in the future, I think I will go with the polish version. The material feels very strong. It is kind of rough even for the polished version. It is a bit "chalky" out of the bag, and the hole are plugged with the chalky stuff. Just use a pin the clear the stuff. No problem.

However, I do have problem with one of my single joints, the diameter for one of the hinge way bigger than the other one. I have not put it on the valk yet, but I can foresee it is likely going to be a problem. Do I contact Shapeway directly for this issue? Looks like they got the wrong dimension. Here is some pics.

Except Shapeways got the wrong dimension, I am very happy with these joints. I now have no worry when I play with my valks. Thanks again VF5SS!

VF5SS, thank you so much for doing these hinges. Now I can transform and play with my valk without worry. I just order 2 single sets and 3 double sets from Shapeways. I notice there are color options available (white, white polish, black, red and purple). A option gray will be awesome. I order all white but 1 set for white polish to see how they are different. [Edit] You mention it can be painted with arcylics. Is priming required?

It would be my fourth or fifth attempt. I always end up not enjoying the first few episodes, losing interest quickly, and deleting the entire thing from my computer. It really is my least liked Macross series.

I am on my 3rd (or is it 4th?) attempt. Couldn't get pass the first 4 ep before. I am now on ep 9. Man, I hope it gets better. BTW, I did watch all the OVAs before. They are ok. Sorry for the OT.

amiami pre order for the limited edition was just opened momentarily. I was able to place an order before it was sold out again. Don't give up. Keep checking.

Did anyone actually get the decals or heard from Axelay? It has been more than 3 months since he was here. I tried email him but did not get any reply. Am I the only one did not get the decal?

nanoplasm, my name appears in the list twice. I would love to get two for the price of one . Please remove the duplicate.

Finally received mine from amiami today. Don't have time to play with it yet. The fighter mode looks awesome though!

hi guys just new here on the board, heres my vf-25s v2 that came this morning...

Welcome aboard! Interesting black and white pic. Can you post more pics (preferably higher res)?

I got my shipping email on the 14th (Saturday), so it probably did not ship until the 16th. The past several orders in the last couple of months I got from Amiami did take close to 3 weeks. I am still patiently waiting. In the past, SAL takes about two weeks. The fastest time ever was 10 days.

Payment sent! Thanks nanoplasm.

Hopefully, they will improve the leg locking in fighter mode.

Graham, any news on whether this is just a re-issue of the exact toy or will there be improvement/fix done on the leg locking?

nanoplasm, please count me in for one set. Really appreciate you doing these group buys.
