  1. Amazon co.jp reviews have been good so far, but one said the boosters in fighter mode could be a bit loose. Removing the boosters gives it the FAST Pack configuration just like the Arcadia release.
  2. I only started collecting Bandai Macross this year, so this is my first time experiencing the hype in anticipation of a new mould/release. The last new mould was the YF 30 and Arcadia's 0D.
  3. I was wondering, does Hong Kong usually get popular Macross items in stock on release date? My impression is that Hong Kong doesn't have as many people pre-ordering and they usually wait for the retail release. I remember seeing many Voltes V and Metal RD Hi-NuGundam upon release. Of course, that was due to the Asia official batch stock.
  4. AE has it at a slight premium.
  5. This is also one of the few self contained releases as it also comes with its own super pack. VF-27 1.5 doesn't count as it is an obsolete mould.
  6. Sorry for being off topic, but I had no idea that Arcadia's was a completely different mould from Yamato. But I guess Arcadia's VF-19Kai and the VF-1 were just reissues. I think Bandai must have upped the production numbers from the delay. But this one tend to attract those who avoid Frontier era styled designs.

    http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-139741 I cancelled mine. Someone please get it as I told them that I would get someone to order it.
  8. The colour from the video makes it look closer to the Macross Plus version.
  9. So basically price is coming down a bit due to people not wanting to double up with Arcadia's one.
  10. DAYUM! Was this the first Bandai VF to get a transformation video promo? So it takes 10 minutes at fast forward speed to transform a couple of rounds. VF toys are definitely the most complex transforming toys to date.
  11. Overly skinny waist Hyakushiki as well?
  12. Meanwhile the next Kawamori/Satelite project, Aquarion Logos, is airing in July.
  13. I was wondering, could someone show me an armored pack with the back boosters swapped out with a strike pack?

    Actually, I am thinking of giving a spare armor pack to the VF-1S with the strike pack attached, kind of like that Thunder Hummer one.
  15. So is the price going to drop due to weight issues on battroid wings, and the angle of the gunpod in fighter mode? Guess not.
  16. HLJ is renowned for necromancy. That VF-22S Miria from few months back must have been loose stock/preowned. Hobbysearch has unsealed preowned but sold at original price. AE still has that YF-19 unit 4 for 22k. A small premium above the initial price.
  17. Aside from the VF-1, it appears that the YF-19 had the most number of (re)releases in Yamato's line.
  18. Is the VF-19 the most popular VF of all time?
  19. Yeap, still up. Got my second one. Not sure when to off load my other one which I pre-ordered for 26k yen before commission. Maybe I'll just keep it as an unopened grail or sell it to someone locally if I could ever find a buyer. It appears that HLJ is the only store that tends to reopen Bandai pre-order madness items a month before release.
  20. Looks greyer than the initial stock photos. Given that even the VF-1 Armored had a color change upon release, no one knows the exact color of an Arcadia product until it comes out.
  21. So everywhere sold out due to the grey goggle confirmation. Went with Bandai instead during the lead up to the release. Oh well, I would rather wait for VF-0 Armored.
  22. They're the same stands as the ghost ones that came with the RVF-25 Super Pack.
