Am I the only one that feels like buying the GBP set was the cheapest way to buy a DX VF-1J? Cause thats why I bought it. 

Lol more a wish and a possible guess because Max VF-1J was shown when the GB armors were being shown. 

TV Kakizaki in April Next year. Followed by Max In Miria in September. I guess. 

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.

Can you elaborate? How did you come to that conclusion?

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. 

It's promising to see that scalpers are slowly backing away, at least for this one. 

Haha nice display sqidd

I finally completed a valkyrie I always wanted , VF-1D with super parts. Finding a set of them for a decent price was a challenge.

Also got a VF-2SS, I regret selling my first one so needed another.

And also finally got myself a dream car, always wanted a turbo sport car and since I was diagnosed with terminal cancer I thought it was the time to get and enjoy with whatever time I have left.

 

 

 

Wow mate, that's tough. Really sorry to hear that. Enjoy the new collection and the car. 

My VF-31C has recently yellowed, left in the box. Was the Styrofoam for sure thst caused it. The other DX VF-31s I have had a plastic sheet between the valk and the Styrofoam and they had no issues. 

Will contemplate this process once I muster up the courage to do it. 

I don't think Big In Japan have put up their pre order yet either? Or have they 

In battroid mode the images suggest a chunkier form. Especially in the arms area. 

Managed to get AmiAmi

Why is the AX costing 25,300 JPY, surely the extra stand shouldnt cost that much extra?

Nice job Lolicon, that pilot figure does look great as does the YF-29

If Bandai will not release Kairos’ Super Pack, atleast release its Armored Pack. As neutral color like that, it’s going to be easy for people to buy multiples and custom paint it for the rest of the Delta Valks.  

Its annoying how much more appealing the armor set is in those more neutral military style livery. 

I just want to order it now for the box art. Lol. 

Expanse is fantastic, but I wouldnt say their ship designs are very interesting. Functional and realisitc, but not exciting.

Finally got this, thought I would bite the bullet in an attempt to finish off vermillion sqaudron once Ben Dixon/Kakizaki is released. Definitely spent too much on it, but meh I aint buying multiples so i guess its ok.
 

For those interested NY selling missles for close to Retail price atm. Not a bad deal 

I never picked up a VF-31J, this might be a good reason now

Did anyone manage Hobby Search, literally 10 secs after 4pm JPT it was sold out, like how???

Got lucky on HLJ, after site crashed for ages

Its now a week past its official release and still no word from NY.. Has anyone else who ordered with NY heard anything from them?

Once the status changes to Not Available it means they are going through the orders, but can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months for them to ship the item. They always come through but upto you if you want to wait or not or get for somewhere else.

Head now has removable/replaceable center spike, and side head lasers made out of a different material.

Hips now use a different design, which looks like the one used in the YF-19 (ought to be easier to loosen/tighten, and more durable)

Mid-wing engines are now mounted on ratcheted swivels, rather than the normal swivels.

Possibly it is now in a Matte finish.

Thanks

Applogies if someone has already mentioned this earlier, but what exactly are the improvements of this reissue over the original?

All the Toynami Robotech stuff. They all break, and just don't look good. Just the packaging was good.
