Nicely done

Her white suit material looks better than the previous one they showed.

There’s certain nostalgia on the triumph & disappointments with Macross pre-order nights. With WWM these days, these pre-order stories are getting to be few & far in between lol. Congrats

The product page says it’s in stock.

I’ve not had the DX VF-1 with supers wheels down for display, but just the naked ones. I’ve also had other Chogokins & Arcadias wheels down long term, & so far none of the gears have any issues. What I do though is to rotate the wheels periodically to prevent potential deformity / flat spotting on the rubber wheels from the weight.
-
Nice observation. Somehow obvious stuff that should be included are not, but stuff nobody asked for are, like that alternate head lasers for the 0S.

No experience with them before, but from the PO just now, the quoted shipping looks pretty reasonable for my imagined package size. Hence, now I understand why others have reported why Nin-nin sometimes ask for extra shipping if the actual item turned out to be heavier than expected. Hobby-Genki on other hand, turned out to be opposite in a way. For one of the PO’s, they appeared to have put in a very large margin for error in estimated weight, & consequently quoted me an insane shipping rate. I went with private warehouse, and so upon release, the actual shipping tuned out to be effectively near half of what was quoted earlier. I’m not sure if they will refund shipping cost differences between actual & during PO if one paid at that time. Anyway, both Nin-nin & Hobby Genki offer private warehouse option so that should always be the choice even for single item orders. -
Nin-nin is surprisingly the cheapest this time, and by quite a fair margin. Tyring them out for the very first time, despite some not too good feedback from others. If anything goes wrong, there should be no problem picking up another copy elsewhere on release.

PO's for re-issued Ride Armor Yellow & Fuke are up.

Gotta hand it to KC for trying really hard to continue flogging this mold with cool schemes.
-
If I get Guile, I'll put him into his iconic glitch pose.
-
Cool butterfly comb is really an actual thing.. I don't know why but I feel like getting this instead of SHF Guile haha
-
I actually quite like the ejection pod, even though it doesn't do too much haha. I appreciate Yamato managed to take care of tolerances so it's very flush and doesn't interrupt the lines around the cockpit area.
-
This is pretty cool in its own weird way.
-
Wow a new SHF SF figure after so long.. and never knew Guile's comb was actually like a folding knife.
-
It's showing available again, although it's the last items in stock. They just added the VF-25F to the sales, although not as cheap as the previous 2: https://hobby-genki.com/en/bandai/16974-tiny-session-vf-25f-messiah-valkyrie-alto-machine-with-sheryl-nome-4573102638977.html

That would be better Thunderbolt FP can then be released with the Ghost X-9
-
Trying to look suave lol
-
Ah yes.. its just wild speculation on my part lol. Not sure how TWE items work with WWM items now.
-
Perhaps it could be translation error, but in one of the development notes, it is alluded the Fast Pack are included because there are just too little pieces to be sold separately? Seeing that YF-19's FP are almost similarly little in volume, them not including the FP in the re-issue pretty much just confirms that they will be sold separately later on with the rest of the full-pack the original issue came with. What would be really great, if Bandai makes the X-9 Ghost right after this YF-21. They are going through the trouble to make delimiter mode, whether in response to Yamato's effort or not, but it would be a shame to not have this side by side with the X-9. And now I'm thinking if it would have been better to have left out the FP entirely here and release the FP together with the X-9 haha.
-
Seeing that there hasn't been any TWE releases for the VF-0 yet, for a while there I thought this CF would be a good candidate. But then it is likely the TWE spot will be taken up by the Reactive Armor..
