Just got mine, have to say its not nearly as polished as the other VF-31s, and the packagaing wasnt nearly as great as the VF-31s.
The paint is a bit rough in some areas. Figure is ridiculously tight as well.
Wont be purchasing anymore VF-31AX tbh
Congrats, I remember buying gamlin ages ago when it came out and was cheap. Still my favourite in fighter mode.
Pairs nicely with arcadia yf-19 in fighter mode.
Another one as well

Carn believe they're still Using Styrofoam tray, kinda rubbish. It's the reason why my mirage yellowed whilst boxed up because I didn't have the plastic separating the foam tray and the fighter.
HLJ is charing 4800 JPY for FEDEX to the UK, or 3500 JPY via surface. Gonna leave it the ol Private Warehouse for a bit whilst i figure out if I want anything else.
When other DX Chogokins have been close to their release dates the prices tended to be 25 to 50% markup on the RRP. It seems now, or at least with the 1J GBP the price so close to release date is as close to RRP as it has been for a while. Hence my comment.
