  1. Then there's the question of if we'll ever see VT-1/VE-1/VF-1D two-seater variants. Or Bandai could make the fandom explode by doing a TWE Alaska Base version in green.
  2. I can't tell if the engines are over-wing or around-wing.
  3. Interesting, are they planning to send an entire replacement leg? Replacing the foot itself isn’t too bad, but the screws aren’t technically properly accessible to do so.
  4. No sale, need one that can turn into a dragon, thanks. Honestly though, looks decent, but those seams on the legs are pretty bad.
  5. What was the last transforming unmanned fighter? I'm only familiar with the movies/OVAs/TV shows.
  6. Oh, nice, I think I'll get a couple more missile sets. Watch those aftermarket prices start dropping back down.
  7. It's weird how the aftermarket prices of the VF-31 series are shaking out. 31A: ¥65000 31F: ¥19000 31J: ¥25000 31J Kai: ¥33000 31S: ¥45000 31C: ¥35000 31E: Still near MSRP, as recent release.
  8. I'm always in for new VF designs. If it's unmanned, it'll be interesting to see if he does anything weird with the battroid/gerwalk forms, like not having a head for instance.
  9. Thanks, need to figure out how I actually want to display it still.
  10. Thanks, there's a benefit to being massively over-illuminated. That table has about 200watts equivalent of lighting directly overhead.
  11. That's dead sexy, I really need another 1S at minimum, past the one I have on order.
  12. As requested, pics via my phone-tato. At least I have daylight LEDs everywhere. Top/Bottom Comparison vs HMRs
  13. After opening up my Max 1A, gotta say the colors are much nicer in person. The body is a light grey, and the blue is nice and vibrant.
  14. You probably need to sand them around the edges and corners.
  15. Couple other things: Perfect Grade Perfect Strike, available as both a full kit and an expansion set. Also, finally we're getting the inevitable: Real Grade Phenex (Narrative, Plated, P-Bandai)
  16. I'm in for one, the HMR VF-4 is pretty solid, and (even non-cannon) I like the Roy paint scheme.
  17. Mine showed up in my city around noon, but will probably deliver tomorrow. To my work. On my day off. Oh well.
  18. Contacted CDJapan again, mentioned other retailers have contacted Arcadia about sourcing replacement parts, offered to pay international shipping if they could source some. So far silence, I think I'm on my own here. Probably will not be buying any more high-ticket items with them unless there are no other alternatives.
  19. I use a Capitol One "travel" card. Works well, but they're a PITA if you have to cancel/re-issue the card due to fraud. Took me too long to get my new card and I had to put a couple orders on my other card that does charge foreign transaction fees.
  20. If I hadn't just dumped $400 on DX VF-1As... Some day I want a Maruyama, but it'll have to wait for a hole in the release schedule.
  21. FYI shows as ¥22,400 until you set the shipping address during checkout, as the tax is included until that point. [edit] Mildly annoyed that mine from AJ ended up like $15 more, since I ordered it a few days ago. Well, I can hope this means the scalpers are getting burned a little and they'll be less on top of the 1S release.
  22. Given the prices of the Queadluuns and Desdroids on the secondary market, I'm going to say it would be a bad idea for Arcadia to re-issue them.
  23. Wasn't the only Yamato release of the VT-1 one of the ones with the shoulder issues?
  24. Bah, going to try contacting CDJapan again, and checking if they can bug Arcadia for a replacement foot on my behalf.
