Got a delivery from LP today. Of course I had to email them to "expedite" the process last weekend. Tamashii web exclusive shipper wrapped in a bunch of paper then thrown into a DHL bag, no major damage, just a corner bit wrinkled. Regardless LP shipped it quick and I am excited to check it out after work. I will be sure to share my first impression.

Looking at the photos I am thinking this toy may benefit from subtle panel lines to accentuate all those details, make it pop so to speakš

Maybe you need to tighten those three screws right away? This reviewer not a happy camper.

Mandarake Nakano branch had it for sale the other day and Iām positive other branches will follow so yeah, not the only way but a great place to get it for 10k yen plus shipping. As for me I emailed LP for order update and to my surprise, theyāve given me a shipping notice w/ tracking hopefully it gets picked up next week!
-
My order is with LP. I guess I'll have to email them with 'where's my order?!' to get the ball rolling again, when I shouldn't have to. Unless things improve, it's my last order.

Secured one from AmiAmi. It lasted 2 minutes before closing preorder.š -
Is your friend @Arky? He did post about his LP purchase over at 1/48 DX VF-1 threadš

Nice! The new wing boosters are really cool but seem to be heavier as well watching the clip..Hopefully everything stays in place because I already see loose joints on my hayate.š¤

It usually opens up at 4pm JST on the day of preorder. That is 3am EST for me and you know whoās upš

Sorry that happened to you. Looks like a typical Bandai QC to me. What did you use to remove the glue spill btw? Acetone will destroy paint and there isnāt really any other way than sanding and repainting the affected panel entirely. I had a similar glue spill on my metal composite Zaku and boy, did I have so much fun color matching to factory paint..
-
Great news! This is a perfect size I could have it out and play with on my work desk and no doubt the 0A is imminently to be followed down the road Bandai milking the new mold.

Shipment info received from LP last Friday but no movement as of yet. Oh well in the meantime.š
-
It hit me all of sudden that LP is nothing more than a proxy service such as FJ or Tenso with their business practice such as this. Sure, LP comes through eventually and you get your stuff wrapped in dismantled amazon box but.. a direct supplier with Bandai my a$$. God I wish I didn't have those pending preorders.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Are these rare survivors from the crushed box we seen recently.š -

Superglue should keep those wing pieces shut. Itās funny because normally my problemās the opposite them using too much glue! I havenāt yet transformed into battroid but something tells me I am going to find the same flapper.š If so I may try some kiki or nail polish.

You got it. If it was available today and I was in the market for one, It would cost me approx. $445 CAD everything in from Mandarake for their unopened, package damaged. It certainly isnāt cheap but what can I say? - VF-1S Hikaru is a must! and donāt forget the SSP.
-
The answer is No, Mandarake does not charge such an extravagant bs amount for shipping. You are interested in a DX VF-1S Hikaru, correct? That box fits perfectly in their shipping box#12 for 5,090 yen via DHL currently. Then once the parcel makes it across the border, DHL will charge you 13% HST + $19.21 processing every. single. time.š¤£

Hey @Metaphor322 welcome on board! Great to see another member from GTA. As for tracking down VF-1S Hikaru, Mandarake may be your best bet in terms of $$, and yes you have to check the site religiously to snag one if it ever comes up for sale. Happy hunting!

Got a Mirage in the mail today and just finished checking it out. Surprisingly I didnāt have to file down the wing tabs at all, and even the hot origami mess of the arms lined up better especially the guns now donāt drool as much...weird.
-
I agree with ya on that point, just another repaint with the faulty design issues. The reason for my anxiety however, rather than the toy itself, is to see if LP fulfills preorders in timely manner which ultimately helps my decision for future purchases with them, that is all.
-
BTW, has anyone heard anything from Luna Park regarding Mirage preorder fulfillment? - I know at least a handful of people got their orders with LP, myself included.
-
Amazing! so much attention was given to details. I like how you painted the spotlight thing above the shoulders, would that be like homage to the original VF-1?
