Hi guys. I obtain a unit of Mirage VF-31C used, still in excellent condition. But I notice the tail fins are not at the usual upright position, but rather found underneath tucked away at the wrist. 

Is this normal? Or a defect? I've checked reviews, and unboxing. Certainly I don't see this. 

Hope you didn’t pay too much for it.🤣

The 0S looks like melted ice cream?

@Lolicon I believe is referring to the lack of details that could've been tastefully added, blunt panel lines that do not convey scale, and the color of the pale plastic used for the entire figure...melted vanilla anyone? 

Having said that, I do wish that the upcoming 0D is a better ice cream.

I am hopeful this rather abrupt shortchanging rerelease of the YF19 is just a prelude to what is to come next.

Pop it out, heat it up, realign, dip it in ice cold water, done.😁

EMS is now more expensive than FedEx/DHL but the difference is still less than FedEx/DHL brokerage/customs/duty fees (which are $25-30 minimum and the duties/taxes on top of that in Canada) where as EMS is often delivered to the door without customs catching on (at least in my experience in Canada).  I paid Nin-Nin 3,900Y for EMS and they just asked for 1,300Y more so I guess I'll end up paying 5,200Y EMS which is totally excessive, but seems in line with most stores in Japan.

I see, so it's on par with current rates which suck..well Imma sucka for Macross goods what can I say eh. As far as getting stuff shipped to Canuckland, I always prefer EMS and avoid DHL like plague due to duties and fees.

Can any kind soul tell me how tall VF-25 is in such gerwalk mode so I can know whether it fits my shelf? If it can't fit probably I won't buy it now. 😊

You got it all wrong. You get a bigger shelf.

Mine arrived this afternoon. Have not had a chance to check them out.

How big is the box? HG wants 5100 yen to ship via EMS to me but it seems a little excessive.

While Bandai manages to get nearly every detail/marking there is on the -25 (especially on the Armor pack) they always miss a significant(IMHO) one on Alto's----the grey part of the "jaw".  They leave it white, which makes the whole bottom half of the head look off as there's like 3x as much white as there should be.  So I painted mine.  

Talking about minimal customization for maximum effect! I’ve rewatched the opening of Frontier and yes, the lower jaw should’ve been dark grey indeed.😀

Hobby Genki available again at 10,650 yen;

Nothing from Hobby Genki as of yet.

I ask again, when does the preorder start for one of these?😁

Sold. When's the preorder open?😁

Hopefully they fix the vertical stabilizer pin and upgrade packaging so nobody ends up with a broken head laser.😝

Guess I wasn't the only one who's scratching the head about the colors of the new ss. - it seems overly vibrant and...purrrrple.😁

Got around to finishing the VF-1A I started like last summer. 

DYRL VF-1A flown by Macross's OG pimpmaster:

Looks freakin' awesome. Love the subtle shade on the panel lines.

Got it thanks!

Has anyone been charged or given updates for Alto’s vf-25 release due this month from any shops? The initial release date noted on HLJ is 4/22 but looks like it is being delayed now to May?🫤
