If it isn't out on display I don't need it. 

 

That right here makes all the sense. With all of my collectibles, I've realized that if I can't properly display them, I can't properly appreciate them, which makes me lose interest.

Are there any missile effects that would scale with these? If not, do you think they’ll release any in the future? I saw some for the Hi-Metal R line that look really good.

Also received my 2nd unit.

Think I need another missile set to customize. Any leads on those?

Got notification that SSP are releasing a week early.

Wow, ordered Max from Mandarake on Tuesday and it’s gonna be here tomorrow.

Its normal but VF-1 is among or simply the easiest to transform so get over it to enjoy the toy more.

Being that this was my first time transforming a VF, it was nerve-racking but I managed to do so successfully without breaking anything! Definitely a fun figure.

Is it weird that I’m paranoid in handling/transforming the figure in fear of damaging it?

Just touched down before leaving early for work, doesn’t get any better. Still can’t believe I scored on that drop last week! HLJ coming through with the great packaging and KitKats. 

edit: does anyone's else has a funky kinda smell or is that just the factory scent?

 I just spoke to their upper management today (they called me from Hong Kong via international call) and they are going to compensate me for their mistake as I don't accept their refund. They will work it out and let me know. I am suggesting to them that they pay the difference by buying a mark up from 3rd party sellers. Overall I have to say it's certainly professional of them to even call me up.

Thats pretty amazing service, hopefully it works out for you, wasn't aware you could deny a refund? Kudos to them.

Thats a sexy box, tomorrow can't come soon enough!

Sucks that there are QC issues for a figure at this price.

Anyone know what open status means on HLJ? Is it going to be fulfilled or cancelled like @dafob?

edit: read their FAQs.

Got shipping notice from HLJ!

@peter nice pics!

Will add you to the queue pending previous requests. Hopefully you guys can score if they release again somewhere.

Still not showing as shippable in the private warehouse.

Does it normally take time for an item to become available or is that a bad sign? Luckily for me I was able to request shipping on mine.

bad habits of buy first and plan later

I'm guilty of that as well, should probably work on that haha. Can't wait till this guy ships!

Thanks @F360, I probably shouldn't have been so lazy lol. Hopefully it can go to a good home at the very least.

Does anyone know if I am able to cancel my buyee order since I scored last night on HLJ?

I'm willing to hang onto it if another boardie is interested buying it at the price I got it at as well...

edit: already have several people inquiring so I'll stop with them, should anything change I'll be sure to post to try to help anyone out.

expect cancellation for HLJ but I got one in as well haha

Don't need that negativity! :P

Oh man, I hope my order gets fulfilled! Thanks for the links guys.

edit: I must not have distillo set up correctly becus I didn't get a notification lol...

Seems like email requires a paid account as well.

Hmm looks like you need to pay for text message settings?

I'm so glad I have Distill running at times like this.

Can you elaborate? I’m assuming some sort of page monitor?
