Afaik/read Toynami has not said anything about a second wave of sale. On the website listing (since taken down)/email update they stated the remaining orders would ship end of August/beginning of September. Posts on fb groups mentioned only the first two days of orders (100 each day, Wednesday Preview night, and Thursday) were the first to go out, orders placed Friday, Sat and Sunday were end of August/beginning of Sept, totaling the 500 units. It would be nice and hopefully Toynami will open up another set/batch of orders maybe for NYCC if they make an appearance there.

Unfortunately, it looks like there are two sellers on ebay listed it for very* high prices atm 😵

I stumbled across this IG post of the bike: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNFHErKOhFr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MXg0OTF2ZzZpazZ2OA== LOL 🤣

Also the same goes for if you happen to use Windex (contains ammonia) over acrylics.

Avoid going over any existing paint/tampo with alcohol, most paints that companies (now a days) use on toys are acrylic base. The alcohol will wear or take the coat/paint off.

It was actually listed on Toynami's website because there was a whole debacle about their shipment not clearing customs in time for SDCC. That' peeved many who attended SDCC in hopes of obtaining one.

The eBay listing is live: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167683570826 (At a higher price to offset eBay fees) Etsy sometime soon. Prices will be in the same range. I have also posted a thread in the for Sale & Trade section (will link, pending approval). Although it has been a while since I've sold here on the forums I should still be on the straight-shooters list.

Just an update. I was pretty busy, sorting, packing the sets. I also have updated pics of the 'reaching hands' which will also be part of the set of hands. Sets are kits that require assembly/gluing/building, top-coating/painting. A set of hobby grade tools are recommended but not needed: hobby side cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, super glue, gloss coat of preference, alcohol/water, enamel or lacquer based paints, paint brush, pointed q-tips, hobby markers, etc. Household tools items such as: nail clippers, small side cutters, super-glue, utility knife, emery board, clear-nail polish Sharpie/alcohol based marker, iso-propanol alcohol would suffice as well. Sample pics of the parts/what a set consists of. 1x VF22S Head [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x green visor with 2x green sensors (option to mix and match with red) 1x red visor with 2x red sensors (option to mix and match with green) 1x lower front (grey), 1x 2.95 visor (grey), 1x visor (grey), 1x lower back (blue), 1x top (blue) 1x pair VF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted window set, one heat shield set) 1x pair of YVF22S Canopies (two frames: one tinted windowed, one heat shield) 1x pair of VF22S Bay Doors (left and right), [0603 SMD LED or smaller compatible, not included]: 1x pair of each: beam cannons (left and right), and port covers (left and right) 1x AAL Antenna (regular) and 1x XL AAL Antenna (MAX custom) Four pairs of hands with pivoting sockets, these require 1mm pins (paperclips suffice): 1x pair of Saluting hands 1x pair of Macross flight hands 1x pair of Reaching hands 1x pair of Grasping hands BONUS: one VF22S Canopy frame, one YVF22S Canopy frame with clear windows Originally I was planning on making it an option if a buyer to decide between tinted windows or clear windows, but I'm leaning towards tinted windows only. This hasn't been set in stone. Also the first 24 sets I will be including a set of bonus canopies (as mentioned above), with clear windows and frames (one of each the VF22S and Concept Canopy). NOTE: most of the Bonus frames are post-tinted a shade deeper than the YF-21 blue, barely noticeable. The green/red visors and the bay door beam cannon attachments are SMD 0603 LED or smaller compatible (LEDs not included, sorry I couldn't work out the logistics at the moment to source, test, etc.) I did my utmost best to color match the parts to the Bandai DX YF-21's colors. I will have a QR code, tinyurl link for access to assembly instructions, updated notes, help, etc. Aside from the sets I will also make the parts available separately for a reasonable cost. In case some are not interested in certain parts or want extra parts ie. the VF22S Bay Doors, heads, canopies, hands, antennas... The ballpark range/damage for an unbuilt set/kit is $70-$75. When I am ready (probably in a day or two) I will make the kits available in the sell thread/section of the forums (PayPal Goods and Services), eBay and eventually Etsy. I am considered built/post-processed sets later for an additional cost (includes painting, gluing, sanding, gloss/top-coating). Reaching Hands updated sculpt/model (the final will include the pivoting socket pegs as pictured in the set further below): A Full Set (with Bonus Parts for the first 24 sets):

Wow it's been three weeks... I've been busy printing and working out most of the logistics. The Bay Doors took up most of the time for printing (about 36+ pairs). I should have the first 24 sets ready by the end of the week. I have batches of all the other parts for the project but not enough room to lay them out. Will be posting more updates as the week progresses.

Awesome job! 🔥

As promised, some more pics (before I burn out for the night... ) I also made some changes to a few parts, made another pair of hands, have some more ideas and will print them up later this week hopefully. Red Visor pics to compliment the Green Visor pics posted earlier: Poses: Head articulation:

Thank you very much for the kind compliments! 🙏

Battroid, I used a Blue 503 SMD LED for the head:
