  1. Can you not use the included fixed pose hand that has a downward angle to it?
  2. Is this the new Kazikazi? Does it get shot down while talkin' about women? haha the contrast between red and green is very nice.

    Man she's got one manly leg..too masculine for my taste
  4. Ahhh the typical Bandai QC we come to embrace and love...NOT! (Seriously that ain’t too bad)
  5. Never get tired of this GIF, love it. Sad but true!
  6. Great to hear from a fellow Canadian member! To share my DX VF-1S Hikaru purchases from Mandarake, ask them to ship in their ‘shou’ size box which is 4,330 yen. Sometimes they will show 8,210 yen for shipping but it is their ‘dai’ box and it is way too big for your standard box size dx vf-1, which Hikaru 1S is. One time I caught it and had to get shipping quote corrected by their staff. Then DHL will tear your wallet a new one at the door. The mandatory $20 processing fee + duties(13% CAD equivalent) comes to $50-60 fun fun!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So I’ve been playing with my new 31J reissue, transforming a few times to get myself acquainted as this is my first 31 toy. So far I am happy with, but there is so much paint on this bird that the more I handle it, the more roughed up paint edges I find..it seems inevitable regardless of how careful you are.
  8. Nice! There’s still hope with LP. Looking forward to your 31AX review’s up soon!

  10. My guess is it's just a drawer + hinge type of design solely for aesthetic purposes. This way the fold pieces retract sitting flush to the chest until you decide to transform. Otherwise there'd be ugly hinges visible on top of the chest.
  11. Yup mistakes happen (which is inevitable) and they do touch up any imperfections after the fact. My copy of 1D has a rather nice thicc smear of orange touch up on top of what looks like a tiny hair. I just hope it didn't come from there.
  12. Sorry dude, that's bad. That'd be a package heavily damaged on Mandarake..but then you've just purchased supposedly a brand-new one from a retailer, not a second hand market. That is not a great buying experience. I have a preorder with LP and they need to get it together rather than take advantage of our passion.
  13. Can you not apply some silicon lubricant to make the panels slide a little easier? - I am afraid I might have to deal with it when I do get a Mirage...
  14. Nothing's broken and that is normal. In fact some crazy people swap the cockpits going from TV to DYRL vice versa.
  15. Ouch sorry to hear that. That grey piece should be ABS so you might want to use any good CA glue or even try Tamiya ABS cement if you got one lying around.
  16. Is it true that stuff shipped via DHL from Luna Park is exempt from customs and duties somehow?- I seem to remember reading about a Canadian fellow member here gotten away with no additional fees at the door.
  17. Yes I am about five years late. Just got this out of boredom & curiosity, and now I got a Delta fever!
  18. I certainly hope Bandai gets it right for the second round ‘cause I finally gave in and preordered a 31AX Mirage..
  19. Staying away from the AX for now, I'm picking up a 31J with sound booster this afternoon locally at a reasonable secondary market price...a go or no go? Only asking 'cause I do not own a single Valk from Delta!
  20. Fixed for ya. Perhaps you should post on WTB section.
  21. I am positive that they'll eventually get better at it over time.
  22. All of sudden I don't feel as bad not jumping on the bandwagon..But it looks cool!
