Says the xerox copied note, lol.

Got a response from HLJ, just not sure which option to go with: Hi-- Thanks for writing, and thanks for sending the photos. We're sorry the item has defective pieces. Unfortunately, we are not able to get replacement parts for these items, and it is out of stock and discontinued so a replacement item cannot be sent. You can either return the item to us, complete in its packaging with all its pieces, for a full refund (that means the cost of the item, its share of the shipping cost from us to you, AND your cost to return it to us). Or, if you'd rather keep the item, we could give you a 25% refund of its cost--which would be 2975 yen--either sent to your PayPal account or as store credit, which would be automatically applied to your next payable transaction. Please let me know which you would prefer; if you want to return the item, I'll send instructions for an authorized return at that time. Thanks for shopping with HobbyLink Japan.

That's the thing. I checked only the few known suspected missing parts: shoulder verniers, cockpit swing arm (battroid mode), the shoulder connections and under carriage sliding cover (two main culprits). I didn't get to check all the landing gear, battroid heads, poseable manipulators (hands attached to the VF-171s)... etc. It was a quick 'OMG!', quickly opens all the boxes and pulls them out doing a half ass transformations. One of them did have a slight bend on the corner of the same piece for the shoulder, but on the left side. I could live with that though. I hope HLJ doesn't require me to send the item back. I've had them (HLJ) send me replacement parts for Yamato valks in the past, but that was when HLJ was dealing with Yamato. Not sure how Bandaid deals with these issues. But yea, I'll keep you guys posted.

Damn... I was awaiting to get display cases before opening all the VF-171s but because of all the cries about dmged/missing pieces on the VF-171s I decided to check my valks. I had four delivered like two weeks ago (one from amiami and three from hlj) and I only opened one from hlj. Right out of the box one of four had two pieces cracked. Damn... kind of late, but sending an inquiry to HLJ now.

NY already sold out. Didn't even get to order one.
-
Got my 171 from Amiami today via EMS*. Also received a shipment notice from HLJ this morning.
-
Yup...
-
Was able to get an order in or the 171 but not the 29... -=\. I'm sure it was due to the limit of 10. How sad HLJ...
-
Yup same here...
-
Probably... looks like they didn't have an order limit. I didn't get one in when I checked.
-
Yup...
-
Wow... NY lowerd their price from 290+ to 250+... >.> horrible.
-
Amiami was up for a few mins. Gone now. The funny thing is.... the 171 lasted longer than the 29. Luckily I was able to get one for the 171, but not the 29.
-
HLJ took down the YF-29 page....
-
Gone fast on Amiami probably because they did not limit the orders to 1 per household. Its set to 3.
-
Order stop on HLJ already!?! LOL... it might just be an update on the page.
-
I got mine Monday afternoon, pulled it out to swoosh around a little then put it back in the box... lol.
-
Pre-orders were opened then closed on AmiAmi for like two minutes earlier, lol. I was debating and then it was gone! Might have just been one p.o. that someone gave up.
-
Oh wow... okay you guys are correct about the swing bar. That was a feature I did not see or use on my VF-171EX... lol. But they still redid the fuselage for the CF cockpit/canopy. EDIT: And I always thought the swing bar was something Bandai decided to leave out. Yup... it's in the manual. I must've skipped that part when transforming it... lol.
-
Pull your 171EX out and look again...
-
Wow... they actually redid the fuselage that houses the cockpit/canopy. I'm guessing to make it more lineart accurate. There's also an extra set of bars there now supporting the cockpit when in Battroid mode.
-
This is speculation, but knowing Bandai... they're going to release the superparts and then maybe about half a year later they will announce a VF-27 Renewal. Milking the fans for all they have. Like what they did with the tornado set then a few months later announcing the VF-25 Renewals.
-
Awesome!
-
I got mine in. QC error as it's missing a screw on the front part of the right foot/thruster. There are two screws securing the part... hopefully it wont fall apart. Maybe I can steal a similar screw from the 1st VF-25G that I have. Other than that no other major QC issues.

Awesome pic as always MacrossJunkie!
