Holy crap monkeys! Wasn’t trying to start any ire, just wondering about the differences and my belief that all DX toys were in scale to one another twich

Question. Are the Bandai DX supposed to be 1/60 scale? Roughly? I was comparing my VF-19Advance to my VF-31F and the VF-19Advance is longer by almost a centimeter and isamu’s legs are like 3mm longer and head is bigger. Now I know from all the stats that The VF-31 is 19.31m vs 18.62M for VF-19Advance. Is this just a Bandai concession to allow 2 to fit in the cockpit of the VF-31? Also, why is the VF-19 bigger? Both are DX and from Bandai..... Twich

So, I bought the Hi Metal R VF-4G on Amazon from the seller World Naruto Japan Shop, the order did not have tracking info, so I contacted the seller through Amazon. The seller replied with a form letter reply basically stating that due to Corona Virus Japan Post would stop taking parcel from these countries, and it had a list. The US wasn’t on the list, so I emailed again asking for the tracking info, they didn’t reply. So, fast forward to yesterday, which was one day shy of a month in which the item was marked shipped. I emailed again asking for tracking. The reply was a copy of the same form with no tracking information. I can’t help but feel that something fishy is going on, as the seller seems determined to NOT supply me with tracking info. I am going to wait with hope until May 7th comes around and if no VF-4G, I will get a refund, but I cannot shake the feeling that something shady is going on. I hope I am wrong...... Twich

They did not send link, so I have no idea where it is, or isn’t.

So, I ordered a Hi-Metal R VF-4G Roy from Amazon and it was marked shipped on April 3rd, and the seller was a third party and they sent via Japan Post. I asked the seller for shipping information, which they did not provide, only sending me a link to a FAQ about shipping from Japan. I am trying to remain optimistic, but it has been 1 day shy of a month......hope it shows on Monday....Amazon says that if it doesn’t show by the 7th, then I can get a refund. I just would like an idea of when I can expect the VF-4G. Anyone have a suggestion? Twich

Not only would I like to see all the rest of Macross II VF’s made, but all the mecha from 7, Frontier! Imagine the varuta variable fighters! FBZ-99! A decent VF-27, the possibilities are near endless, just include stands with every release! twich

Since they have already released a VF-2SS twice, once for Sylvie and once for Nexx, who here would like to see a VF-2JA and a VF-1MS or whatever its official designation. I really like the Bandai Hi-Metal R VF-2SS Nexx, but I really cannot get the legs right in fighter mode, so I usually display in Battroid. I wish that the designs for Macross II got some more love. Then again, I wish that a lot more valkyries got made in either 1/60 scale or the Hi-Metal R (1/100ish) scale. Twich

I am glad that I am not the only one who did not know what it was. Thought maybe MW was having some internal strife, thus why I clicked on the thread, hoped Shawn or Graham were not having troubles......and yes, my kids would have to set it up for me and provide tech support......what happened to cursing someone out, face to face? LOL

Apologies, I had thought the VF-1J had released. Thanks for what you do! Twich

I have noticed that you have posted more review vids as of late. Please keep up the excellent reviews! For S & G’s, are you trying to acquire/have the desire to acquire any more of the 1/72 Kitzconept VF-1 toys to review? Thanks! Twich

What is a good price to purchase a Bandai DX VF-27 1st version? I would think the Brera would be less rare, but I have recently got a hankering for a VF-27 toy and don’t want to pay the inflated prices for a renewal version. I would prefer new, but like new, used is good too....just wondering what a good, reasonable price would be. thank you, Twich

So, I purchased a VF-4G Roy from Amazon, the seller used japan post. I contacted the seller asking for tracking info, knowing full well it would take a while and got a link telling me about the restricted countries list. I didn’t see the good old US of A on there, but since I have no way to know, I hope it will get here in a month. Any known issues with this release? Scorched earth toys hasn’t released a review vid yet in which I might live vicariously while I ponder my life as a healthcare worker amidst the pandemic we have going on. twich

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
twich replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
For the FIghting Fantasy VII Remake, I was fairly impressed that there was no day 1 patch, that on my internet, would take a week to 10 days to download in order to make the game playable. I got to install it and look at the opening cinematic and that was it, but it didnt require a patch....pretty impressive in this day and age. Twich -
if you dont want a max/milia VF-1J with fast packs, you could go with the VF-1S Focker that is on ebay for $99.00 USD with free shipping If you do want the VF-1J with fast packs, I think that this is in line with what the ShowZStore was selling them for before they sold out. Twich

Yeah, I have the big hexagon base with the little square that comes off of it. So I guess that is a 1. It works well, and I didnt have to buy it, I already had it. But I wish that all the Bandai Hi-Metal R came with stands, instead of just select ones. Like the VF-2SS SAP would have really benefitted from having a stand and little arms for the 4 little Attack Bits, instead, unless you already own it, the cheapest solution is almost $100 USD, which is the price of the toy itself. Twich

so, if it is the 15th anniversary of Frontier, that would be 2022, right? 2007 was frontier, right along with Gundam 00. I would like to see more Frontier and other valkyries, but not huge price gouging on the secondary market. Twich

Has anyone used, or thought to use the bandai 1/100 funpla stands for stands for their Hi-Metal R toys? I am using an old 1/100 scale stand for gundams, and it seems to work ok, and I also repurposed the two stands that Bandai included with the DX VF-19Advance valk set to hold up the boosters to use to hold up the Attack Bit drones for the Hi-Metal R VF-2SS SAP Nexx that I have as my only HMR so far. I ordered a VF-4G Focker, that will arrive whenever it gets sent over via Amazon. I cant wait to see this toy, as it looks pretty solid. Twich

unfortunately, it was. That seller now has almost 100 negative feedback in just a short span. You might be lucky, but I got a lego figure. Good Luck Twich Edit-so I had to file a claim with ebay, as the seller did not respond to my email after I received the wrong item. Ebay took about five minutes before they issued a full refund, so at least I get my money back......kinda wanted the VF-1J Max, though
-
that was from one specific ebay seller. Unless you purchased from that one ebay seller, you should be fine. Twich
-
oh no, it was a single lego mini-fig. It had a grimace and a beard. was not happy when I saw the package for it, was smaller than a wallet, definately not big enough for a 1/60 VF-1J Twich
-
bad news for me. My ebay purchased ended up being a scam, I got a lego figure instead of a 1/60 VF-1J Max with super packs. Had to start an ebay case for it. One of the most expensive lego figures I ever bought......kinda sucks. Twich

just watched that on youtube, I thought the homage that they paid was very awesome! Who knew what you could do with paperclips? Twich

So, I just looked at that link that was posted on the previous page and it looks like Valkyrie factory is doing a whole bunch of stuff. I cannot read it, but it looks like they are doing a KO VF-31J Kai with reaction missles, and it looks like they do KO YF-29 Super Parts. I would like to see what all of those things posted on the TaoBao site, Valkyrie Factory seem to be quite busy, wonder if it says a release date for the VF-31J Kai KO. Twich
-
Yeah, it looks like these might not get the premium Finish that their VF-1S Roy, VF-1S Hikaru and VF-1J Max/Milia did. I cannot read the text, does it say specifically that they are releasing the Non-PF version of Max and Milia? If they would be under $100 USD for non-fast pack, non-premium finish, I would definately want to get these, if the quality is good. My VF-1J Max is stuck in Indiana, hope it will get to me this week or Monday of next week so I can see how quality these things are. Twich

So, are there any other reviews/pictures of the Kitzconcept 1/72 VF-1J Hikaru/Rick Hunter? Twich
