If NY will definitely fulfill my order in time, maybe I will just wait it out. I have Strike Packs pre-ordered with them too and don't want NY to cancel them too or ban me. Here is my VF-1S among friends. Haven't transformed it to battroid yet. Once I do, it will likely permanently stay that way as I think battroid (and Gerwalk) are where the DX really shines. 1/48 Valkyries fill up display room rather quickly!
-
That sounds painless. I am wondering if this is worth a shot or if multiple requests by people will upset them.
-
I got brave and applied some careful force and it popped right in there. Yay!
-
I still haven't heard a peep from NY. The one I bought from Loopaza showed up today though. Has a little bit of smeared tampo paint and some scuffs. More frustrating is the arm shoulder slider isnt assembled right. I couldn't figure out why the leg wouldn't seat properly in fighter mode. The L part of the slider tab is above the groove instead of below. Looks like I will have to attempt a little disassembly. I couldn't pop it into the groove and don't want to break anything. Small issues aside and the silly 001/100 error, this is a nice looking figure.

I haven't got any notice from NY either. Mine was purchased from them at the first markup round they had. My multiples set of Strike Parts are on order from them too so that should be interesting. I will try to be patient another week before I get too anxious about it.
-
My sentiments exactly. This should absolutely be a proper white TV Version Roy VF-1S. Other than that - very cool Scout Regult.
-
LOL ugh that's accurate for both Bandai and moreso for Arcadia
-
Yeah don't I feel stupid paying 27000+ yen for mine. Wish I would have been patient. Maybe there's some hope for Bandai making the next figure more readily available though.
-
I finally tried installing the replacement VF-1 shoulder hinges I got from Shapeways earlier in the year. https://www.shapeways.com/product/DV3KRQCTN/kanzen-henkei-1-60-scale-fighter-variable-hinge?optionId=3675956 Unfortunately these things suck. Drilling out the holes so the pin could go in wasn't bad, but the hinges don't actually close all the way. Maybe I should have picked a different plastic type instead of the white versatile? They work fine for battroid or Gerwalk mode, but this VF-1 won't be able to fully transform into fighter mode. Has anyone had any better luck with these?

I really enjoy the Yamato 1/48 VF-1s. I have been debating selling my DYRL set, but not because I don't like them - it's for space purposes. Assuming Bandai does the whole lineup in 1/48 DX, I won't have room to display one of each . Even with that in mind it isn't an easy decision to let them go.
-
HLJ got back to me and confirmed replacement parts are coming in mid October with instructions on how to replace the foot.
-
Wow that's interesting. I haven't received an update from HLJ yet. If returning it for a refund is the only option, I can't confidently say I would buy another SV51.
-
I thoroughly enjoy the Kitzconcept figures and these non canon paint schemes. Looks like they rushed the box for the red version - only two sides of mine are labeled correctly. The figure is great though.
-
I will have an extra VF-1A Max that likely won't be needed due to space limitations. Couldn't snag one at less than NY prices but I'd be willing to work with a member here if somebody needs one
-
Curious to see what the next one is. Back to SDF, or another DYRL? Maybe something off the wall like a VF-1D? With Bandai you never know
-
I got a black and gold one from ebay. It was a little cheaper than their website, but I ordered it before I knew it would be on their site for sale. Mine is number 615 out of 660 per the box. The red and black one says only 200 pieces worldwide yet it appears to still be for sale. They didn't sell 200 in over a week's time?? Regardless, I am enjoying these unexpected LE non canon schemes. Nice to see something a little different.
-
HLJ has requested pictures of my figure so they can file a claim with Arcadia. We'll see what they say.
-
Isn't Bandai going to at least do the YF-21? Hopefully the VF-11B too. Those are really the only three aircraft in the show.
-
I contacted HLJ too so we'll see what they say. Although it really should given the price point, this probably won't give me pause to purchasing more Arcadia figures in the future. I still love their stuff.
-
Mine appears to also have two of the same ankles as well. I wonder if HLJ will work something out with Arcadia, as that's where I got mine too. It isn't really a huge deal, especially if I never transform it. But when you think about how much this figure costs it's quite unacceptable.
-
I haven't opened my SV-51 yet and this thread is scaring me. Suppose I need to investigate mine tonight.
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Glad he made it safely! It's really a great figure. -
Jeez, only 45, 990 yen?
-
Do the 1/48 Yamato Weathering editions have additional tampo on them or different decals, or just the painted weather effect? I have never seen one.
-
Very nice. Will definitely be getting one of these. I think I will keep the 4G one to display alongside it as I am still a fan of that simple gray scheme. Might have to sell a couple of my HMR Vf-4's though. So is it a regular release and Premium Finish, or just PF? It doesn't look to have a huge amount of tampo on it in the pictures.
