  1. I always wonder how do Zentradi and human/micron live together on Frontier without lots of crushing accidents. Only valk incident I remember is a shelf dive of my VF-4 - the 1/250 not the future Yamato - and it's left wing is currently hiding somewhere in my room. I recommend gluing the parts of the 1/250 (especially the wave 1) before putting them up.
  2. It is just a material test shot that happen to dark grey on the legs and purple at other places. The leg armor pack will have extra thrusters on them.
  3. VF-1 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=324421 VF-25 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=357536
  4. So Michael unit will also be a base unit release unlike the previous DX - another round of web order for super and tornado pack later I guess.
  5. Another interesting note: The head guns/fins can be hidden in fighter mode, or they came in the box detached and the setup guy forgot to attach them. He also seems to forgot to attach the main gun in fighter mode, and missed a step in G/B mode and leaving those shoulder hinges exposed.

  7. Good news is no mention of any limited release, so it is a general market release at regular 9800yen price. Bad news is no mention of side covers and B mode seat.
  8. One part can be tricky. High-res fighter mode The big NUNS text will need to be painted on two separated part of the main shoulder hinge. Hopefully they will be able to do it like this:
  9. 1:48 VS 1:60v2: Con - Much less tempo paints - even the cockpit side kites need stickers. Chicken fingers and only TV version come with extra hands. Slightly worst B mode proportion. GBP is too fat. Pro - Slightly better fighter mode proportion. Extra gimmicks - antenna on back pack, movable wing flaps and air brake, removable missiles in super and GBP packs. Edit: one more pro for 1:48 - super/strike pack connected to the back pack using metal bar, more accurate than the big plastic holder on 1:60v2 but also more dangerous since it put a lot of weight on the back pack's hinge and hook.
  10. The armors will make the legs thicker, if/when it happens.
  11. The head antennas was not shown to resting flush in the line arts, and all the 1/250 VF-171 toys have them sticking out.
  12. Forget proxy. HLJ had been selling most Yamato web limited items from Fan Racer to 1:2000 SDF-1 to us for no additional cost for a few years already. I don't expect the VF-4 will be any different.
  13. Guys let the computer do that work for you. Install one of these add-on to your browser: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-scanner/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd#detail/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd Tell them to scan the store listing page every 15 minutes. When you sleep leave the PC on and make sure they don't go to sleep on idle but you can turn the screen off. Leave the speakers on and tell the tool to play a song when one of the page changes. You will get false positive like when HLJ update the exchange rate.
  14. Well there were too many questions and options already, and it's supply were much less limited then thanks to a second batch so most could get them at regular price - HLJ listed it at regular discount for a week after release, unlike the others. I remembered because I got mine from AmiAmi after release at no discount and if HLJ listed it earlier I could saved a bit.
  15. http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000014712/ "胸部ミサイルハッチは組み換えで内開き、外開きの両方を再現しています。" Suppose to come with parts to let them open either way you choose.
  16. The poster image from locusHK link has poor quality but it has a few extra bits - landing gears and open cockpit.
  17. Well I went looking around and see one other HK shop listed it: http://www.locushk.com/?sp=&p=6&cat2=1509&cat1=156&cat0=24&id=4462&cat1=156&cat0=24&new=&more=〈=en That's about US$195 + shipping
  18. http://www.nippon-yasan.com/figurines-autres/1132-macross-f-super-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-vf-25f-saotome-alto-custom-renewal-ver.html http://www.anime-export.com/product/7777 http://yokattaweb.jp/store/preorder/291-super-parts-VF-25F-alto.html It will be hard to find it cheap now since Bandai already closed the web order for the super parts. All that can be listed are what the individual shops ordered and they can't order more from Bandai.
  19. More 1kuji.... http://www.moeyo.com/2012/03/banpaku2012.html Wave 5 right? Will it ever end?
  20. Yes but Graham also mentioned the street price for the DXv2 VF-25F in Hong Kong is about HK$2000, i.e. about the same as eBay. I don't know what kind of price real shops in Japan are charging, but it is looking crazy at Amazon.co.jp.
  21. Well I can't understand where you get that. The YF-29 and VF-25S are hard to find in Hong Kong. The YF-29 reissue pre-order is just messy with some shop refunding quickly after they took too much pre-orders.
