my 1/48 hanging with Voltron

Question , I ordered this from Nippon Yasan .

it was delivered when I was out town.

And I did not pick it up in time, so they sent it back ...

what should or can I do??

They could be fun  ..

agree Rick looks like Chucky and Roy and Minnay not much better. 

The regult, Vf-1, SDF, and gerwalk look the best of the bunch.

Anyone seen this ??

Gabriel,

I think I got it to work now.

I was not locking it at the proper time.

Thanks!!

You don't have it transformed right. the center block should go down and then lock.

 

I think it's that the chest thrusters haven't been pulled up.

I see what you are saying.

I lifted the chest thrusters up.

But I noticed that it does not feel ‘locked’ in that position, just a minor amount of pressure and it falls down.  Is there something to lock it in place better?

One for each mode!

Haha that is a good idea!!

@VF-18S Hornet thanks for the reply on the previous post.  I figured out the transorm on youtube.  The instructions were a little vague.

The ARMD platforms weren’t extremely hard to attach, but weren’t super easy either.  

I was a little concerned I might break something if I pushed too hard.

I vaguely remember hearing how hard the ARMD platforms were to attach on the first release.

Once again this thing is a beauty, and glad I finally purchased it., looking forward to the premium finish!!

Mine arrived yesterday.

I missed the original release years ago, so this is my first.

I am really impressed, it is a beautiful toy even if its not the premium version, which I pre-ordered as well.

Figured I may sell the original when the premium version arrived, but I’ll probably keep both since these are so cool.

Any idea when the regular version is going to be released?  

I thought I received an email that it may ship soon .

Also ordered from NY and it was $628 including ems shipping with tracking ouch 

Will probably cancel the hlj.

but it could be a good buy and hold option to sell later.

No option to cancel one of the orders yet

On the  first order I got distracted, and it took me a while to fill in the payment options.

when I hit submit it almost looked like I had been logged out.

so logged back in but did not see any orders, so I placed a second.

Then got two pre-ordee emails

I'll pay that HLJ markup to make sure I get one .

Its back up at HLJ!

I accidently preordered 2.

Maybe I'll ebay one.

was  bummed wheni first saw POs closed.

 Thanks to everyone for all the info on this thread.

I lurk more than I post.

My 1/48 in action.

I agree with some of the other members this looks better in fighter mode.

This and the strike parts were literally in the box for years.  Because I felt battroid transformation was a pain and it did not look as impressive in that mode.

Glad I revisited it, and put it all together again.

Check out the YetiStand Alpha thread, I just posted a couple of pics of the VF-4 on a Yeti Stand.

Those stands look sweet, definitely getting one.

Put it in fighter mode with the Yamato stand.

Kind of giving up bothering with Battroid.

Well this is the best you can get http://www.yetistand.com/ . If that isn't what you want then you could try your luck with finding an old Yamato stand or I heard that some megablocks stands work.

Hey thanks, I'll look into those.

Anyone going to apply the stickers to make it look more like FB 2012? Some cool looking stuff is already showing up in the MW facebook page.

Just got mine in the mail.

Where can I find a stand for it?

I've got a buddy who is good with creating molds, I'll ask him if it would be much trouble to make a resin copy of my filler piece. If he doesn't mind, I can have one made and send it out to you if you want. Let me know.

Thanks for the offer, that would be great if your friend could do that!

2 weeks and 2 more days to go.

Thanks for info!

Has anyone received their Hikaru VF-1S Hi-Metal?

Says November release date.

I preorderd mine through CD japan, but they have not updated the shipping status.

Thanks for all the replies.

I did not see the neck filler piece in either box, maybe I misplaced it years ago.

This is taking a lot of space in my collection, so I may put it up for sale at some point.

Hello, long time lurker here.

Several years ago, I purchased the Yamato 1/48 VF-1S with a set of super/strike parts.

During that time I assembled everything togther and the jet booster back would not stay up in battroid mode.

Eventually I just put it back in the box and forgot about it, was somewhat dissapointed overall.

Now years later, and after reading some threads here, I was interested if anyone has any tips on getting the battroid mode to work with the jet booster packs? I've read some threads saying there were some flaws with the early 1/48 releases, or that maybe the transformation was done wrong. Also, I saw in the strike pars manual an addtional piece that could be used around the neck area, that was not in the box, but not clear what it was for (see pics).

Also, was the head of the 1/48 Valk supposed to be so loose?
