Hi, I need help with my 25A Super parts. I know I've screwed up somewhere. Basically, after all Super parts have been attached, the legs no longer fold and tuck in properly in Fighter mode, and the wings fit into the holes provided for the pegs in such a way that the wings are set at a fair dihedral. What have I done wrong? Do the legs need to folded differently, like the VF-1's did? Do the legs need to be pulled out to the Gerwalk position? Please help! Thanks.

Well done. Bloody well done. How'd you do it, specifically, the paint?

Yeah, but... "Don't worry , she'll hold together!" *puts the 30 into crazy Gerwalk pose, feels joints creaking* "Hear me, baby? Hold together!"

Hey all, tracking says my Super parts are in New York. Not much longer now...

It does seem that way. I think there's a "hands on" event in a week or so in Japan, hopefully our man Tochiro can report on it.

Yeah, then I need Anasazi to make decals that say "Rittmeister 017" that would go where the "Siegfrieds" go on the white job. Points if you get the reference. No Google.

Nicely done. It looks like that bracket folds out of someplace. Hopefully it's not a separate part. Who am I kidding? Hopefully, it's included at all.

Yes indeed. How about a pic of fighter mode with Super parts attached? Please?

I think most everyone got one. What was HLJ's initial price? They have it for 20,000 yen currently with an order stop.

Preach, brother.

Yes indeed, mine has shipped! Thanks!

Oh cool, thanks for that. I just got through chatting with NY and was told, due to the number of pre-orders they have to process, they couldn't say for sure if my order would get sent before or after Golden Week. She said they'd try to ship it before. We'll see.

I agree. This Valkyrie will most likely be available at a small markup upon release date. Also: available at NY again!!! CHARGE!!!

No, not really. This isn't the thread for it, but it wasn't terrible. It wasn't as good as it could have been, though.

Booyah! Grabbed one and got email confirmation! Best of luck to everyone trying!

Do you pay in advance with CD Japan?

Which, if you read earlier in the thread, is screaming for a Decepticon symbol.

Much the same here. NY was broken, Ami Ami sold out, was going thru the ordering process on CD Japan but then was told "sold out" more than halfway through. NY back online at around 0515 ET and sold out somehow. Yeesh.

While waiting for the YF-30 on NY, I saw this. Anybody want it badly enough? http://www.nippon-yasan.com/macross/3606-choujikuu-yousai-macross-vf-4g-lightning-iii-limited-edition.html

Golden Week starts tomorrow, doesn't it? Think that has anything to do with it?

HOW MUCH?!

I got naught. Weird how MW was down until quite recently. And let me ask: which Japanese sites, if any, make you pay up front for pre-orders? Thanks!

Yes, just now. I was just on there 10 minutes ago asking CS when my 25A Super parts would be shipped. EDIT: Now it says the web page is unavailable.

Ah, so you put the wash directly into the panel line and pray you don't slop it out? If so, that must be what the moist finger is for. Thanks! Didn't know if you applied the wash over the whole thing or what.

Very, very nice! Please, what's your technique?
