Are you looking for clear canopy or rainbow? What's your budget?

I was going to just use the line art, but this popped up on google. I didn't even know it was a member on here, but I think you did a good job! It makes sense that the person who photoshopped this would want one IRL. Max is what we are working on right now, but willing to branch out in the future, already have Low-vis and DX G1 Jetfire Toy Deco on the radar, so Alaska base would be pretty easy once that shade of green is nailed down. Then it's pretty much just taking a 1A Max and painting green all of the blue plastic and get a new U.N. SPACY decal for each leg and come up with some fake pilot Ranks and names and new modex numbers. Still that's a few months off at least, as for the DYRL Max, you could get it before people get DYRL Kakizakis 

Count me in for an Alaska Base custom scheme if you decide to do it.

So Noel said they’d give the discount and that Cally will invoice. Cally emailed me yesterday asking me to verify my delivery address so she could invoice me. Haven’t received my invoice yet. Did any other late comer get their invoice yet

Got my invoice this morning

Just ordered number 2. It was between this and a 1/4 scale spike spiegel figure. 

Nice! Where did you order it from?

Same here. I gave in and ordered one today and they honored the discount

I have the OCD thing about balance. If I got them weathered then I would want all of my Valks weathered. And that is NOT going to happen. I really, really, really like the VF-0D PF's. But they do poke me a bit on display because they're weathered and nothing around them is. Also, the VF-1, especially the Skull One holds a ton of nostalgia for me. The clean cartoon look hits that spot better.

Yeah, I'm a little weird.

Nah, that's not weird at all. I have similar OCD about collection displays. I wish all of my Valkyries were weathered but that would be a nearly impossible task.

Thats one of the great things about this hobby - there's no right or wrong way to do it!

Very cool! The yellow looks great and I love the properly centered skull and crossbones.

You didn't want any weathering?

I also asked in a separate ticket if they would cancel my order for store credit if they don't have stock for this, but they haven't responded to that one yet.

Here's the NY response I got this week when asking about when this might ship. I ordered 5 SSP. They let me downgrade shipping to Ferry a few weeks ago since EMS is a no go. I thought maybe that would get it rolling.

"Dear Customer,

After talked to the delivery center I have a bad news. 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.
Please don't hesitate to send another message if you need anything else.

Kind Regards

Some overdue feedback from me:

Two smooth transactions with @rick.vale, as well as ones with @Dragonprime, @Vertex, @Benson13, and @sjoebarry. All great members to deal with, thanks to everyone.

I'm in the same boat. I really wanted to get one of these until I read about how bad the leg issue was. Shin's VF-0A is my favorite from the series. Hoping it gets some kind of Premium Format release

Man, that sucks.  I was sure I wasn't gonna make it 'cause I had to create an account as a new customer.  It was probably an extra 30-45 seconds to do so, but that's an eternity in PO madness time.

 

That's what I was doing - when I got to payment method it said they didn't have enough stock to cover the amount I ordered, which was one lol. So close

Just now, dafob said:

Got one.  Thanks!!!!

 

And gone. That was quick

35000 yen? No thanks... I'm not that desperate, NY.

Especially not with the very real possibility they will never send the product.

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

Same. here ,  

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'm not getting notifications (yes, I checked spam) for any threads. Are you guys?

I am not getting them for private messages either, and I usually get those emails before I get the actual message on the board.

If NY lists with mark up I’ll secure a third. 

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

Oh $#!T I thought it was one for 19,000!! Ahhhh! Dammit! That was clicking too fast 

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

Crinkled rainbow effect is VERY common on the VF-1S Focker. I wouldn't buy one without seeing a picture of the canopy first.

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 .
