    They aren’t legit. I decided to test them out back in Jan for the DX 1J. They had MSRP rates. Anyway they had JapanPost tracking for like two weeks that never populated actually in JapanPost. I made a case with PP and they never responded. PP refunded me and took it from there.

    Thaaaaaank you. I know that it was brought up back in January but I never saw any follow up. I appreciate you answering me. One day I shall own the elusive DX VF-1J but today is not that day.

    finally decided to upgrade my original 2010 Hikaru 1j with the “R”. My original is kissed by the yellowing plastic disorder. Going to post it for sale in the for sale section here before offering it up on the e-bay.

    Hahahaha!

    I have been a gundam fan for a long time, as well as a fan of the transformers masterpiece line.  While Gundam mecha has beautiful and extremely detailed sculpt and articulation, most of them don't transform and even when they do (zeta/zz/etc) the non-robot mode always look "forced".  Transformers on the other hand, feels more like a kids toy and a lot of the transformation gimmicks are needed to account for "anime magic", and the resulting sculpt and lines aren't as refined as Valkyries. 

    To me, valks strike the perfect balance between decent forms (in both fighter and battroid modes, in most cases), great articulation (I'm looking at you, VF-4, with the fixed shoulders, as the only exception), and the pristine finish to them as a figure for grown ups, not just a toy.  It's a shame that valks are not more widely appreciated by the market, which could have increased production volumes and our chances of securing these GD preorders...

    This...all of it.

    I recently ordered the VF-1J and they never updated shipping. Thankfully, I used PayPal and got them involved. Nin-nin cancelled my order and refunded rather than fulfilled order.

    Sometimes cancel your order well after the pre-order window closes, from what I remember hearing.

    i shall learn from your experience then, thank you.

    HMR question. i got the original release of the hi metal VF-1J Hikaru and it is starting to yellow. is the new HMR Hikaru 1J that much better/different than the original? thinking about picking one up but on the fence.
