Still nothing on the tamashii website. Are we still confident the PO is tomorrow?

Armored up the VF-2SS and put the effect part on the gun.

how exactly does that battroid stand attachment fit?  Do you have to have the hip hinges out a certain amount?  I like to have them hinged inward as much as possible so most of it is hidden behind the nose.

Wow they really rolled that Nex version out quick.  Silvie must have really sold well.  I'm happy with it personally, even with the heat shield issues.  

Not a pro modder, but i think the easiest mod to make the heat shield flush is just making the canopy removable, if you dont mind a little parts forming. I think I just need to sand the pegs down on the canopy a bit

Works for me, took like 5 mins

Dang it, I have unreleased items holding up my amiami order.  CDJapan hasn't shipped either yet.  

HLJ has the VF-2SS available for order again, heads up

One second that promo code was there, it said right on the item page it was eligible, now its gone and when i try to use it, it says code cannot be used

Thanks F360! Almost Y20000 to complete the set. Hmmm.

On a side note. Another upcoming Hobby Show Exclusive:

If it's a new sculpt, cool, if not, bleh.

Looks like NY ninja removed the pre-order availablility for the VF-31 Messer Fast Packs.

I was gonna order them today too, damn I got lazy.  Looks like mykombini, big in japan, and cdjapan proxy doesn't have it either.

Anyone know where else I can order them?

How is AE's shipping prices?  Their VF-2 is the cheapest so far at 12,600

Success, if only dx preorders were like this.

that's very tempting to try to avoid pre order madness

Looks like you have to pay upfront...

So they only take paypal? And $33 shipping fee per package? Looks like I'll stick with NY etc. And why is there asia in the url when they only ship to USA/Canada...

 

Dang, just caught up with this news, missed the $20 promo.  Still ordered a red frame though...

Theres tracking for sal register .  

Yeah, the lowest I'll go is registered SAL.  Can't roll the dice too much with a $200 figure...

Status on my CDJapan order says shipped, but I didn't get a shipping notice.  Now the wait for SAL shipping begins...

$230 before shipping?  Can't trust Evolution Toys, but it does look decent.  I'll just wait for this to go on sale.

Pretty sure Bandai's production volume is based on demand in the asian market alone, since they can't really distribute this stuff anywhere else.  

So in a way, they're making more than enough for their purpose.

Does CDJ come through every time and how well do they pack their stuff? 1st time nabbing a PO from them since I failed at Amiami

The first thing I ever bought from them came busted to hell, looked like someone played soccer with it.  But ever since, everything has come in excellent shape, and nicely wrapped too. 

This preorder session was a lot tougher than Messers, which suprises me.  I was unable to snag one, but I'm pretty sure there will be other opportunities.

Still waiting on HLJ's payment request for mine.   It still bugs me that Keith's nickname is White Knight, but he pilots a blue draken.  Especially when the white drakens show up in the end of the series.

Got the Nex set on ebay for $174 after ebay bucks earned. The matte plastic feels better, looks okay from top down perspective, and the extra tabs added helps hold the legs better in fighter.  The arms still hang loose and floppy though.

The plastic on the SAP feels cheap as hell, and the fact that they don't give you both gunpods kinda pisses me off.

Probably feeling mostly regret on this one, but at least I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP.  Being a VF-2SS fan is suffering...

How much did you guys pay for shipping for the armor?  I'm still on the fence for this, either just gonna sell my VF-0, or keep it and buy the armor...

Like F360 said, it's too late to get a VF-31J at launch price. It's either you'll wait for a reissue for you to get that price. The rest it's above MSRP which is Y21600. Unless you'll just stalk Mandarake 24/7 in case one will pop up. Just so you know, the more you're going to hold back, the more chance that the price will just go up. Anyways, good luck on the hunt.

Hmmm. For some reasons, Messer's 31F also compliments Hayate's esp if it's using a 31J Super Parts.

 

The 31F is getting it's own armor release, right?  I can't remember if they ever showed an armored 31F in the anime.

I have a question about the MB Destiny Gundam Wings of Light option set. Is the purchase of one suppose to come with the Destiny Gundam sleeve? The sleeve I am referring to is the sleeve that has the picture of the Destiny Gundam on it and that can hold the boxes of the Destiny and Wings of Light.

Hopefully someone knows and can help

Shameless plug, Im actually selling the wings of light with the slipcase in the sales section if you're looking for it , just puttin it out there

Anyone ever had a cdjapan order where the credit card declined?  My order processed, but the card declined, and I don't wanna lose the order.  Will cdjapan just wait to sort it out, or will they just try a second time and cancel the order if it doesn't go through?
