CF18

So you are buying the second / third copies?

1:60 v2 is the second version of VF-1 from Yamato in 1:60 scale. It is very different from 1:60 v1 but similar to 1:48 and retain most of the special features, minus some details like movable flaps. This is the front of a 1:60 v1 box: This is the front of a 1:60 v2 box: In general 1:60 v1 is out of stock in all stores, unless you are buying from ebay or other private sellers.

No. Yamato only. That VF-11B is already going low stock/Dec restrock.... Decision time... Edit: I did it! There go another random custom duty fee thanks to EMS.

Not assembled. It is molded in the wing piece.

They already made 18 from the same base mold: VF-1S Roy DYRL VF-1A Hikaru DYRL VF-1J Hikaru TV VF-1S Hikaru DYRL VF-1D TV VF-1S Max TV VF-1A Max TV VF-1A Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A Max TV VF-1A Kakizaki TV VF-1J CF TV VF-1A CF TV VT-1 DYRL VE-1 DYRL VF-1S Low vis VF-1J Max TV VF-1J Millia TV VF-1D Virgin Road TV It may be the most milked toy mold ever.

Art work for premium figures of the Movie set.

Yeah two units, Assembled, unpainted public release, 7900 yen: http://www.yamato-toys.com/ec/items/detail.php?gid=1519 Unassembled, unpainted limited release, 5800 yen: http://www.yamato-toys.com/ec/items/detail.php?gid=1543 But remember HLJ may carry this limited release in the future. Unassemebled make sense since you have to take it apart anyway to properly paint it. Is that water slide or just sticker?

source I can't find a better version yet, but that sure looks like a VF-4 at the lower right corner. Also you may have noticed but the part 3 will be more expensive - 6000 yen for a set of 12, while part 1 and 2 was listed at 5040 yen for a set of 12 . Also base on amiami listing: Part 1: Total 16 + 1 secret Part 2: Total 19 types + secret. Part 3: Basic Version: 21, Deculture Version: 4, Secret Version: 2

The original was so bad that the bootleg may actually have better quality.

Well this one is interesting - never saw those extra boxes on the line art, DX or model photos. I guess it is a space use version?

Fast, super and armor! source

Competition is good. I just noticed the newest "Early Bird" pre-orders on HLJ have 10% off instead of 5%. e.g. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN961417 http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN961946

No Ngee Khiong read it wrong. From his source: http://www.tamashii.jp/item/t_month.php you can see it is actually the Robot Spirits VF-25G that will be released on 5th for 2940yen after tax.

Speaking of M&M problem, on my two units the back fast pack push the back pack flush against the back where the two little fins stick out, resulting with the vertical wing getting a little off color dot.

1J will be released on February 15th. My guess for fast pack will be separate release with fixed fast packs, since I don't see any holes for adding them on.

All from here: http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/release_048...ml?mmlnk=091125 It mentions something about reducing detail and scale for mass production ...

Those are scale models from Wave at 1:72 and 1:100 scale, not new toys from Bandai. Although I think the chance of seeing destroid from side-VF or Revoltech is above 0.
