Are you looking for one complete with box or loose is okay too?

Where did you order yours?

That's a really very fast shipping to the US since it was just released yesterday in Japan.

 

 

I had it preordered at HLJ. It was available in my private warehouse a little early and I had it shipped via DHL for about 4500 yen. It arrived at my house on Friday.

I'd be ticked.

Yeah a bit disappointed in the lack of gray goggles. I am glad to see they improved the overall plastic color of the VF-1J - no more salmon pink hue.

Would really love to see them produce a weathered version or even  premium format with all possible tampo version of this set.

I can confirm mine has white goggles. Was a little surprised to find it lacks the gray visor

I preordered a Kakizaki from Kuramatoys but haven't heard anything yet.

Same here. I received a full refund from NY in the form of store credit for my 5 SSP that I pre-ordered almost on day one. Glad to sort of have my money back, but I will never pre-order from them again.

Are you actively selling these parts?

Sounds like the odds are not in my favor.

I found your old post looking for one while I was doing a search and wondered if you ever found one. That answers my question I guess

I am looking for GN-U Dou VF-1 figures for Roy's VF-1S #020 and Kakizaki's VF-1A #019. Would like to buy them if anybody has one or both they will part with. Looks like Kakizaki is fairly rare. If anybody can help out it's much appreciated!

I asked NY if they would cancel my order of 5 in favor of store credit since they can't fulfill the order I paid for almost 15 months ago. Figure it was worth a shot, but so far they have not responded.

I can't imagine I will ever get my set of five. Wonder if my credit card can back charge from an order paid 14 months ago

Nice, thank you. I have never heard of yowcow before. Have you used it?

Hmmm so after the From Japan email saying they messed up the price, I told them proceed with the order, and they did, but never sent me an invoice for the remainder of the balance. On the FJ page it just says order complete with the 10% deposit. Maybe they're fine with just the deposit and they'll charge me the remainder later? Who knows. Feb 2021 is a long way off.

Mine said they will add it to the Charge 2 payment. Maybe they won't charge the balance until they receive the item in February and it's ready to ship.

If anybody is curious about how the DX VF-1 Shoulder armor comes apart - here it is. It's two halves - I pulled up on the long end to expose the seam and then worked my thumbnail into it. Two out of three pegs broke. I don't know if they were glued or just really right. The larger half is the front in Battroid mode.

Going to try disassembling the other shoulder without breakage. Experimenting for future painting possibilities.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, I think those pegs were glued. Might try some heat for the other shoulder.

I also received notice from From Japan that they made a mistake and they need the full payment up front.

Thanks for the tip and I received an immediate reply with the title "Change shipping method"

And so this is their reply:

Delivery center said we will receive our stock little by little.

Unfortunately due to this fact, they decided to ship first orders by UPS (faster shipping method ) , come after orders with only 1 products from fastest to slowest sending method, and afters other orders with quantity 2 and 3 ....

For this moment i cannot tell you when your order will be ship. Probably during this month, but when exactly, I do not know yet.

This is word for word the response I got from them a few weeks ago. I ordered 5 SSP because obviously I am stupid lol. Should probably get them by 2023.

Got payment request from my proxy; they only charged me for the deposit which is nice. 

That pleasantly surprised me too. I had to pay the full amount up front last time.

It seems likely HLJ will carry the PF as well as the regular version. I think they did with everything else

The Normal Version is up on HLJ now too.

I am holding out for word on the Premium

I am waiting for a more official announcement on the release too, as well as info on PF. Did these sites jump the gun a bit?

I'll be very cautious as I open the box, take it out, and put it on a shelf for display.

 

I'm all about intellectual property. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, when you drop the ball as badly as Big West has and there significant customer base is not getting what they want.......well.......I don't feel THAT bad about it.

There s no way that Big West and HG can't figure out a way to make more money by importing Macross stuff to the US. I mean seriously, if they only got $2/ unit it

s $2/ unit more than they're getting now.

Agreed. Somebody somewhere has to acknowledge how much Macross merchandise gets sold to North America

@derex3592 your custom Alaska Base looks great!

That green is FANTASTIC. I have never wanted a Alaska Base variant before.......now.

Yes! We need these! @RedComet please make it so 

Oh....I guess I should have asked if you were looking for TV or DYRL
