    How does one buy one of these new Bandai 1/48 without getting sweezed. Is there a certain store online everyone buys from? Thx

     

    You need to offer Jobu some cigar and rum like Cerrano did...

    not backwards, they are on both sides of the standard mold for the super/strike forearm armor, also used to secure the gun pod (if you could call it secure).

    edit, but as you pointed out the mold does appear to be new with the circle, could be backwards, but the notches are normally on both sides.

     

    The VT-1 does not really come with arm armors and/or arm accoutrements.  No gunpod, either. 

    In contrast, the VF-1D and the VE-1 do have arm attachments (gunpod and radar thingies, respectively).

    I guess only the old Bandai 1/55 VT-1 bizarrely came with arm armors...

    Okay, I think that's a Last Red Shoulder TC in the upper left and a the Blood Sucker so two more releases? Surprised they didn't go to the round mover, parachute pack, and Melkia versions for the easy $.

     

    Yeah.  They're the LRS Turbo-Customs (seven-missiles box). Expecting it to be the complete team of Gregor, Murza, Byman, and Chirico.

    I do hope Bandai will also do the ROA six-missiles Red Shoulder TC variants. Complete with Gregor's chains and stuff!

    As such, I also do hope Bandai makes a Space Fatty since it's a sorta hero-type coz Chirico piloted one for his duel with Ypsilon.

    Wondering if the micro-missiles are removable on this Mechanic Edition, like on the old Yammie 1/48 FPs.

    I'm kinda waiting on some fan(s) to do some proper budweiser-detailing on 'em to show off with the clear covers and stuff...

    Engineering-schmengineering.  They didn't do it because they either fouled up the production and the assembly monkeys got glue everywhere, or they couldn't be arsed to spend the extra money to paint the internals.  There was never anything stopping them they couldn't have easily overcome if they wanted to.

    +1

    Yup. Totally!

    simply just plain ol' Bandai Assymmetry shenanigans, imho...

    at any rate, a user-yt of this release...

    Got my package today and....
    WTH Amazon JP!?

    They've always used the secure plastic wrap mounted to the carboard and dropping it in the box

    I opened and was happy to see some paper padding for the top, but then I open and see 3 loose books in a huge box
    I've seen worse posted here before, so how much can I complain about Obi and outside cover and corner damage, but at $240 shipped, I feel this is not acceptable from a company like this.

    I'll definitely be looking at alternatives in a future release.

    That's considered "damaged", imho.

    You need to contact them via email right away about it.   Add the photos, too.

    Consider the options they give you when they reply back after seeing/acknowleding the items as damaged.

    per tamasshiweb official,  PO was scheduled on 11/1 in Japan, so it did came and went already last night:

    Seems very extremely low allocations, too, even by Bandai's usual stupid tactics. 

    AE doesn't outright state limit-one, but it goes out-of-stock right away when you cart one from them. 

    Oh, well.

    Try to catch Ami-eng tonite or something, but do prepare to be disappointed:
