After a frustrating 2-3 hrs I figured out the culprit the gerwalk joint was glued shut literally on my vf-0s. It took some slow tender loving to pry it open without damaging it. Glad that is over 

one of my vf-0s gerwalk joint is extremely (frightening) stiff and wont move. any recommendations to open it up so I can transform him properly? I managed to get him in batroid but I dont see hope for gerwalk. Also the hip extension gimmick is incredibly tight on mine restricting movement at his hips. @jenius

take my money already!

Exactly! Business is about money and the rest is just smoke. That's why I think it's funny when people bring up fair, theft and other things. No business gives a crap about anything other than getting the cheapest labor they can when they outsource manufacturing to other countries (which is what Arcadia does). If you go to a country that doesn't care about your IP, it's all fair game to me. 

The only Ko/bootleg experience I have is with Transformers and those are typically 50% less and comparable or better than the officials. 

These KO VF1s should be out soon so will see how it goes. 

I agree. Its about sharing an idea and making something even better.

AE = Anime Export?

Yes.

It gets better, I called UPS and the moron on the line told me that NY marked the shipment down as not covering any fees and that toys in the US are always charged duties and if I wanted the package I HAD to pay the additional $200+.  And the only reason I never paid it before is because the shipper always elected to.  When I explained to the dumb beaver that no company could ever stay in business paying almost three times the amount for an item purchased without charging me the difference she just kept repeating, "that's customs."  I told her toys don't have a penalty and she claimed that everything but printed documents do.

I feel the pain. Are you in the US? This is another reason why I avoid courier.

Then how can I get a premium version? 

Keep an eye on AE, amiami and hlj. They may get extra stock. BTW premium version preorder released through AE for me now.

$4 bucks, damn mine was $8 more, well hope they arrive soon

$4 wow still can't believe they send an invoice for it. This is why I don't deal with NY 

What is the release date on the premium version?

If prices are up for negotiation. Im willing to take it off your hands.

Waiting anxiously on the sv 51 release. I hope they give a date soon.

Wow that's awesome

I would prefer the light blue VF-19A instead.  So I can finally replace my old 1/72 Yamato ver. (which I bought many years ago from a listing on craigslist at a safeway parking lot late at night.)   It was safer back then. 

Lol. Glad the valkyrie is safe

Bandai needs to step up to the plate with the elint seeker and the super ostrich.  I think the new paint schemed vf-1 wasn't necessary at all.

Yes!

if you are getting pre-owned 262, just wait for mandarake. Kokura branch recently listed it at 10,000 yen earlier (but was not able to get it)

Thanks I'll keep a eye out.

I would stay away from any 2nd hand 262, because of the wing emblem scratches 

Its not second hand. It falls under amiami pre-owned section basically new but with dents on the box is what I understand. I'm still waiting for it to plummet further on sale   with all the other delta valkyries.

Amiami has pre-owned 262 for 19k

I have a weird feeling that a premium version will follow-up soon of milia

Thanks for sending me to check my paypal "conversion option"---I know I've changed it before---but it was back at "use paypal's awful rate".  

So, changed it back to "use CC's rate" yet again, hope it sticks around until it's time to actually pay.   Pre-ordered Milia with N-Y.  

This is true. I just checked my paypal account and they reset it for some reason. I urge everyone to check theirs as well.
