I started building my 31J last night and the moment I put the head antenna on it snapped... so brittle a plastic piece. Quite upset by that.

First time pre-ordering, first time lucky I guess. Hobby Search was gone within 10 seconds. I was lucky to enter the queue on Amiami. It took 3 goes to login again to get to the cart completion and checkout process. I have the confirmation email now though so all good. HLJ one is weird. Doesn't show up on search terms and their menus are a jumbled mess... how did you find it?

I'm new to this. What are "Hi-Metal R"s? The valkyries look very much like plastic with some metal struts and connectors but otherwise it's plastic. The kit looks like it's also utilising a lot of swappable parts like hands, cockpit covers and wings with/without missile pod mount points. Are they a design intended for poseable photography?

Thank you. That's 6pm my time. I'll have to get a leave pass to see if I can get a preorder in. These photos of the 05 that are coming up are convincing me to put an order in.

Generally what time in Japan (UTC +08:00) do these preorders open?

Will it come with a canopy that has a sniper hole in it?

How do you chaps know these things come on available order so quickly?

JPY 21,600 is a princely sum. Current conversions make it $278 AUD. I recall I paid less for the YF-29 even after missing out on the initial release and getting it from a seconds reseller. Bandai seeking to just rake our wallets clean? Surely the production of these figurines aren't any more complex than the production of the VF-25, VF-27, YF-29 and YF-30?

Oh my... those glass shelf clip stands really are wonderful an addition to the options list. Reckon it's possible to get 3 clips, back and both sides, different lengths of arm and see if they work in the internal space of the Detolf? Might not fit with 3x 1/60s but I reckon with the right banking you can achieve 2x 1/60s

Refreshing to see a seemingly more simplified transformation. No more of the tuck arms between legs business. Tucking the arms to the outside of the legs and snapping them in underneath the wings is so simple and elegant.

I really quite like the subtle extra colours that are coming with the VF-31. Rather than holding to the previous colour formula of primary colour and black and/or white, the blue/red/white, maroon/black/white, grey/black/white, blue/grey/red/white is quite striking. In comparison, Delta 03 looks quite bland. I'll have to get myself a Delta 01 when it comes out.

Here's my pic! Stand arrived today. Colour and lighting is terrible - image comes straight off the camera. When I get time, I'll re-do it with better lighting.
