Thanks guys. I have no problem waiting and know that the stands take time (his site does does say 2-4 weeks) It’s just when I send questions, NOT about when will my order be ready, and get radio silence, that’s when I worry. A little communication goes a long way.

Hey! I apologize if I missed your email. Can you pm me on this site with your question?

Mini disaster has struck and I need some help. The stand adapter for my Metal build Aile Strike just broke. (tab snapped off, why was this piece made clear plastic? ). I'm not sure how familiar you are with Metal build stands but I was hoping you could help me out with a printed replacement.

Post pics.

Nice! How much heavier is it than an Arcadia VF-0?

Don't get me wrong. I love yetis.

Is just that for this particular base, I would rather have just an adaptor for gerwalk and battroid that would fit the original "arm"

So, just a 3d printed arm with a tab at the end?

Since it's different than the regular yeti stands, I would prefer no screws. Something like just an adaptor.

Can you explain? What do you mean, no screws?

The bar has been raised. Looks good! Although the banking feature the stand was made for is lost without more parts.

You could put a banking adapter on top, instead of the standing one. What would you guys want bundled together with the base pivot adapter?

The SV-262 adapters should work based on another users measurements. I still haven't had a DX-1J in hand to measure the adapters it comes with myself.

@ChaoticYeti - Looks like the side tabs are 1cm long on the VF-1J DX stands. Is that the same as the SV-262 standing and banking adapters? If so, I plan to put in an order to give it a try.

That sounds about right, but I can double check and get back to you. Thanks for measuring.

Do any of the existing adapters work with the VF-1J DX clear pieces? Looks like they have additional plastic that goes down both sides of the arm for extra support. Kind of like the VF-31 battroid stand, but with longer pieces for the extra support.

Can you post a pic? Sounds like what they did with the SV-262.

Whoa, that's a cool setup! Can you post a wider shot? Did you mount those into a shelf?

Another trick is to layer clear packing tape on the peg until it fits firmly in the slot to shore up any slack. There is a variance in the thickness of the acrylic. Adding a bit of thickness with the tape is a less permanent solution to adhesives/solvents. Shouldn't need much.

Unless Bandai have changed the shape of their slots again, the DX adapters should be sufficient. These work for me on the DX VF-19 advance release.

So weird. Has anyone received their 31a from NY in the brown tamashii box? Seems like an odd point to make, but this is the first time I have received an exclusive without it.

Hello! That's just a guide to call out where to put the rubber feet. Earlier versions of the stands did come with a 3d printed plastic piece to help line it up, but I got more questions about what that piece was for than what it was worth to include.

Haven't had time to transform mine yet, but I do have the residue/paint finish issue on the wings where the "protective" plastic strips were placed. It is subtle, but noticeble if you look for it.

Finally.

I posted another ticket with a similar note, saying I'd heard of orders placed after mine that have already been sent.  We'll see if I get any kind of response.  If they offer to send me just one, and refund the other as store credit, I'll probably take it at this point, since that would probably pay for a pair of armor packs.

I politely asked for a refund, and it quickly went to preparation in progress, than shipped after that. It has made its way to New York. I'll be interested to see if it comes in the tamashii brown, or naked.

Similar story. I reached out to them yesterday asking for an update. I mentioned if they were not going to be able to fullfil the pre-order I want the value transfered to store credit. I received an uncharacteristically quick reply stating that they would be sending out the item as soon as possible. Read into that what you will, and your mileage may vary. I had been inquiring about once a month on status.

As a follow up, I just received a shipment notification and tracking.

I had only pre-ordered one.

Question about screwing stand arms together. I notice there is a smooth side and a rough side. I want to screw two smooth sides together and will plan to put the rubber washer in between them. Is that okay to do, or do you have to screw two rough sides facing each other? Thanks. 

Hello! You can use either side, and the rubber washer will help with friction on the smooth sides. The etched/roughed sides will offer a far stronger grip. Just be mindful of how much weight your figure is adding to the stand arms. For that fact, best practice is to use the etched/roughed sides against each other with a rubber washer in-between. I hope that helps!

If you have access to a machinst, I would encourage you to move forward with that direction. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what you want. The 3d printer I use can only print with several different types of plastic. I'd love to see pictures of progress and what you end up with. Let me know if I can help.

The wall measured at 2.1 inches. I did a rough sketch of what I was thinking for the mounting bracket (really wish there was a usable CAD application on android).

I'd think something like that should provide enough stability to keep the mount from twisting off the wall. For the adapter to attach the plane I'm still waiting on the one I'd want to use this with to arrive so I don't know what I need on that end yet.

 

I can modify the detolf adapter to fit that dimension if you would like. Do you only want the pivot on one side?

Out of curiosity is possible to make a custom base and adapter?

I'm trying to squeeze in another Hobby Master 1/72 diecast in at my desk at work but my only option without obstructing my work area would be to find a way to hang it off the cube wall; I was thinking a U shaped bracket to fit over the top of the wall and an adapter that mates to the stock HM cradle would probably work.

What's the thickness of the wall?
