Which store? I paid 2200yen for SAL shipping for my VF-19Adv off CDJ, and I live in the East Coast of the US.
I was charged 2610 yen SAL registered to Canada back at January initial pre-order time. They must have got the wrong box size from Bandai at that time and is charging real cost for them now.

Found a better image.

Still no confirmation whether or not the missiles from the Arcadia YF-19 can fit on the Bandai VF-19 Advance?
This ToysDaily review say no. The Arcadia YF-19 missiles don't fit VF-171 or VF-30 and they share the same mounting point design.
-
It was listed on Amiami for half price for a long time before sold out, so it was not a very limited low number release.
-
Isamu don't care about head laser because he prefer out flying missiles instead of shooting them down. He probably got stuck with the head design even in the YF-29 because it is associated with him in all those "Hero that saved Macross city" posters from Shinsei Industry.

Pretty sure the original also had optional head lasers.
Yes, they looks thicker than the new one.

Compare with my VF-1S Roy:
6500 yen vs 8800 yen, new head laser, fast pack more blue than green, leg fast pack has UN Spacy markings.
Still I would rather see something on my must buy list i.e. Destroids released instead of the may-be list.

Like I said, usually.
I don't bother with non-TWS sites for TWE stuff, as I don't appreciate even a little markup on an already expensive TWE.
Some TWE ends up in Amazon via Bluefin and are cheaper to get than importing from N-Y or A-E during and after preorder-times.
It does say ※本商品は海外で販売の可能性がございます。
But do you have any example from Amazon? I can't find anything like that on Amazon at all, but then I don't really know how to navigate this Amazon maze.

If the Regult have this major feature they would have shown it in the big display already. I would rather they have different missile options included, and make the recon version.
Even the just announced Bandai Hulk Buster do not have removable figure, but have LED instead.

Hi ChaoticYeti have you shipped some of your stands to Canada yet? Just wondering what's the shipping cost would be.

There hasn't been a Glaug toy since.....well....this...
I think the Bandai gashapons were newer than that.

Bandai have moved VF-19 to June release list.

So you can remove some of the missiles, which you can do in the 1:48 GBP but not the 1:60v2.

I can't be only one disappointed by it needing part swapping to open the shoulder and leg missile boxes?

The Arcadia stand is quite good for the price, but seems to be sold out everywhere now. Compatible with Yamato and Arcadia units only:
But some of the stand adapters that came with the VFs are rather poor, e.g. the YF-19 fighter mode adapter is not attaching securely to the plane, so the pose shown above is not safe. The similar adapter on the Yamato VF-19 is even worst.
Yeti stands are better, and he also have better adapters than the default ones.
-
Reactions from Hong Kong seems to be mostly negative over the company, and the exposed hinges on the back.
-
eBay is not a very good indicator, especially if you use buy-now listed price instead of auction sold price. You missed many sales - Yamato 1:60v2 VF-1 were frequently half-price on HLJ 5+ years ago. The Arcada VF-1J 30th you are looking at were also half-priced last year in multiple stores. HKC used to have VF-19S listed for $135 - it's $152 now.

Yeah but it's still kind of news since this is the finally completed version that was posted today.
Oh a poster:

Tamashii pre-order page is up: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000096698/
The photos have both 102 and 302 on the shoulders. Probably stickers since the text only mention swapped heads but not shoulders?

Yeah I guess being 3rd repaint without new head didn't help, or the craziness with Bandai DX is over. CDjapan only sold 2 copies in the last two days. It probably wouldn't see a matching super part.
