A VF1-D would be kick-ass but I think it will be something more mundane like a VF1-J Hikaru re-issue (with some improvements) followed almost immediately after by GBP Armor

0D arrived.  How TF do you guys open the rear landing gear doors?  There are no gaps...why? 

I usually use a toothpick. I push one door down which gives me enough space to fit a toothpick in there to fish the other door open.

Sounds like a nightmare to transform based on @jenius review. I might get one more. One to transform and another to leave in jet form. I dunno yet!

Sorry Alan. That sucks to hear. Hopefully Paypal refunds you soon.

Anyways, I couldn't resist any longer.  At least I got a SV-262H at near retail price?

I’m legit hoping someone wants to trade me pre order for the YF-29. I already have the VF-1S hikaru but I’m jumping on the hype train. Let me know if anyone is interested 

I'll take you up on this offer. Just PM me.

Is that DHL? Or 6 week slow boat shipping?

You have enough already too haha. You don't need anymore either..

.. and it's DHL.

Isnt there cheaper options for this, I see plenty on FJ for around 25k

I dunno. it's $288 shipped to my door. I'm not sure how much it would cost with shipping from FJ. It needs to go away already as I'm way over budget on toys this month.

Someone needs to buy this before I do... Shipping to US and it's getting harder to resist.

@ChaoticYetiany chance your website will be up soon? Also, I was interested in having some custom adaptors made for the following:

- Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri line of Transformers.

- Soul of Chogokin FA line

- 1/3000 SDF-1

- Metal Structure Nu Gundam (This is VERY Heavy and might not be possible)

- Metal Build Eva 01/02

- SoC Voltron GX-71 and GX-88

Could I send you some of the adaptors I have to help you make them since I don't have anything here more complex than a ruler?

Great job! Thanks for posting this. I'll my hand at this as well. I'll have to try some of those phosphorescent paints.

If anyone knows of some good decals that could go well with this please share.

There's no way I would accept anyone from taking my money on undelivered goods only to have them convert it to store credit. Having them relist the undelivered goods at a significantly higher price would just add insult to injury and destroy any faith I have in that business.

Can you host it on google drive by chance?

Just pretend it is the latest release from Arcadia...the 1/48 VF-1S V2 with an MSRP of 40,000 JPY, then click that "add to cart" button!

Its can very well be priced around Arcadia’s premium finish rate .  Pre tampo , it even comes with display stands   .

But, but, but, every time I buy an Arcadia product I seriously question my life choices... 

Just pre-order on Amazon.co.jp as they have a pay later option.

Or if you're willing to wait, look for stateside websites to have it like BBTS, ChosenPrime, TheToySource, etc. This isn't a Macross item so there are other distribution channels available.

Wouldn't purchasing through BBTS be cheaper though with their $4 flat rate shipping?

That's an incredibly heave Valk you have on that stand. I would worry it might tip over unless you have some kind of counter weight on the base..

Yes but this will be a very large and heavy package. Roughly 50% larger than the Metal Structure Nu Gundam and likely on par with other SoC DX boxes which are HUGE. I just hope they pack it well enough that it doesn't arrive completely damaged.

The DHL price was from FromJapan which is also on par with Nippon Yassan. You were only charged $22 from AmiAmi for your MP-44 or is that an Amazon.jp price?

Amazon JP shipping is at ~$80 which will likely be the cheapest price for shipping.

I really hope stateside companies will carry it like BBTS or ChosenPrime, etc where they've purchased in bulk already and the shipping is free.

For reference DHL for a single VF-0D was ~$97 USD. I think we'll be lucky if the shipping price is $200 or lower.

Nah.. I think my 1/48 VF-1 itch has been scratched well enough. All I think I want now is GBP Armor and a 1/3000 or larger scale TV SDF-1. 

Hmm. I don’t know if I need more super parts after buying 5 SS sets for the 3 valkyries I currently own... this is a hard sell after a crazy PO night that included Voltes V DX just the other day! I’m tapped out for the rest of the year. 

Well.. You can actually get a new Hikaru VF-1S for less than what I paid on PO night direct from Amazon.co.jp. Surprisingly.

HLJ's website was a lot faster than usual. Did anyone notice that? I mean, other than listing a product you couldn't actually put in your cart for a good 5-10 minutes it was surprisingly responsive. 

Last website left that might get one is MyKombini. Keep your eyes peeled. Maybe BigInJap.com as well
