I downgraded my NY SSP order to Ferry a couple weeks ago, hoping that would nudge them along. They obliged and gave me a store credit for the shipping cost adjustments, but I haven't got a notice about any further prep. Might just wait on the TV Super Parts to appear in the wild at the end of the year.

My FJ order for Fast Packs is cancelled already. Buying Bandai products is fun
-
Here as well.
-
Looks good - nice to see the correct red tips on the missiles. Will look sharp on the VF-1S I can't buy
-
They're late....
-
@moose You are correct. They haven't yet. Theres also curiously few on YJA. I don't intend to feed scalpers, but it's interesting to see just how many get posted. I guess it's still early for both of these things.
-
I am not getting them for private messages either, and I usually get those emails before I get the actual message on the board.
-
That appears to be my only hope for just getting one. Then again - they have yet to send me my SSP that I paid for 13 months ago
-
Hdf sir... Well if you go through with it I guess I can buy one from you. I meant to sleep through tonight but my brain woke me up so I could strike out everywhere and be irritated as with every other Bandai PO lol
-
Definitely true. I love the Yamato Weathering editions in both 1/60 and 1/48. The Kakizaki 1/60 VF-1A doesn't show up anywhere very often. Hoping I can track down a 1S Max that doesn't cost a fortune eventually .
-
Yay mine is at FJ too! So great to see the VF-0D finally released. Judging by the pics here it will be worth the wait
-
It would be more traditional Bandai if the head arrows remain inaccurately yellow
-
The overall head proportions and visor do look very slightly different. Also, yay VF-1S Roy! This ought to be pleasant to try to buy
-
@RedCometthe weathered SSP look awesome and really complete the image
-
Still no movement on mine since I requested Ferry. I will give them a few more weeks before I tell my credit card company that this store stole $500 from me and wont deliver the merchandise.
-
NY responded to my request to switch to Ferry and updated the shipping method. I haven't received a preparation in progress notice yet. They gave me a 4700 yen coupon for the store. Was hoping to just get that money back, but meh. Now we will see how long it takes them to actually send it.
-
After NY told me they were holding off on shipping until EMS is available again, I asked them if I could change my shipping method. They responded that I could pay an additional 13000+ yen to upgrade to UPS (after paying 8700 up front for EMS a year ago) or downgrade to Ferry for a 4700 yen credit. This is for 5 S/S Part sets. I said I would like to switch to Ferry. Its been over a year, whats another 3 months?
-
They didn't offer that but I guess I can ask, you know, on top of the 8700 Yen they wanted for EMS shipping up front. I paid this (for 5 sets) a year ago, in the opening moments of the first batch of S/S parts, that should have been sent to me when they released at the end of 2019. Never would have got caught up in the COVID shipping issues. I guess I can just wait, and in theory, someday they will send me my $500 worth of merchandise. End gripe. @sqidd your shelf displays are looking good! I thought I was the only lunatic displaying multiple DXs
-
I got a response from NY: "Hello Thank you for your message We apologize if we were unable to send your order upon release of the product. We cannot send orders by EMs to USA due to the restriction of Japan post So for the moment, orders are on pause. As soon as we can send again, we will honor your order. Please don't hesitate to send another message if you need anything else. Kind Regards Nippon-yasan.com Customer Service"
-
Yeah hopefully just generating income to fund new releases and keep themselves going like the GBP set. I don't think the last M&M releases ever sold out though.
-
These look spectacular! Excellent work. Is the pilot painted too?
-
I politely asked NY about the S/S parts that I ordered almost a year ago. Curious to see what they say.
-
And you might even get it in a little less than 18 months!

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

@sqidd your Strike Parts on the Low Vis VF-1A are looking good. I have been wanting to do this to mine for awhile but have yet to get around to it. Was waiting until I get an airbrush but some quality hobby spray paint looks to work just fine. Funny you should mention the breaking Super/Strike parts. The last two 1/48 S/S sets I bought had this problem too. They were a bit more green in color than my good sets, and some of the pegs snapped off when I tried to gently install them; arm tabs and the pegs for the leg parts too. Hoping I can make one good set out of the two. Now I am a little hesitant to buy any more. Not sure how many sets floating around out there have aged poorly -

Very nice find! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run you?
