Agreed. If I can find one with a cheaper price with shipping total I'll change my pre-order. With NY its about $400 with shipping.
-
I chose the pre-order pay notice option (up to 1 day prior). If NY can get their orders in prior to the 5% discount deadline they're making a decent amount per valk. Plus I'm pretty sure they have a retailer's discount of some sort.

http://www.nippon-ya...ed-edition.html NY has them up. ***EDIT*** Ahh... Murphy beat me to it, but yea... it's up and I ordered one as well.
-
Wow... kind of surprised. AE is for once the cheaper alternative than AmiAmi for the VF-19P. ***EDIT*** I think I'll wait for the Red exclusive (if there will ever be one) or for this one to go on sale. I'm already pretty happy with my VF-19S. I still need to get the VF-19Kai.
-
Already order stopped on HLJ (sale price 17000 yen): http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN977444 ***EDIT*** Don't know how as the page was just put up. I guess it could've been available since I had my page checker set at a random interval of 51 seconds.
-
Same as well
-
Nice... I have a middleman service trying to secure an order of one for me through other means, but they're having difficultly placing an order from his sources as well. I was going to order one from Otacute because the prices were better and I've ordered from them before.
-
Wow... Otacute opened up pre-orders for the YF-29 VF-1S scheme and the pre-order was closed as soon as the notification was sent. ***EDIT*** I'm guessing a few scalpers out there have buying bots for them... ***RE-EDIT*** I guess on the flip side that if Otacute was only able to secure like 10-20 orders that wouldn't be much considering how many people across the world would want one. Just to say... I was not able to place an order for one, lol.

NY has them up at 18500yen: http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/2631-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-25g-messiah-valkyrie-michael-blanc-custom-renewal-version.html

The only improvement that can be made on the VF-27 are its hip/waist (as featured on the v2 VF-25 versions), the hands, and possibly the folding shoulder mechanism. I've been thinking about swapping my VF-29F's hip/waist with my VF-27 to see how it would hold. The only difference in height between the renewals and the VF-27 is just the hip/waist feature. That is primarily the reason why the VF-27 is so short when compared to a VF-25 in battroid mode.
-
I believe the entire HLJ site is bogged down. Could be due to the 'YF-29 VF-1S scheme' craze.
-
Is the red encircled part of the scan indicating that there's some sort of a rubber sleeve encasing the shoulder's joint? I can't read Japanese, but that's kind of what it looks like from the picture.
-
I didn't make this. I stumbled upon it while looking at some Gundam models. http://www.modelers-...id=10687&cid=40 I'm kind of surprised there isn't a dedicated thread for inspirational Macross models/customs...
-
Just cancelled my preorder with BBTS...
-
The reason for the height difference in that particular picture is because the ankles on the VF-27 are not extended as they should be and there is no swing bar in the hip section like all the VF-25 renewal versions. ***EDIT*** If Bandai just releases exclusive hip-part and hand supplement parts for the VF-27 it would be one of the best valks out there because that's all the VF-27 really needs.
-
I'm guessing a Ver 2 release with thicker legs! LOL... okay bad joke.
-
Nice! Got my order in.
-
I think all Bandai would have to do is just create/sell a supplement set for the VF-27 (crotch section, metal swing bar, new hands) and I'm pretty sure this would suffice, since the only mode that is off really is the Battroid mode.
-
I don't have the VF-19Kai, but yes it appears that the VF-19S does have the notches in the diecast back section for the canards.
-
Nice find, but with a service surcharge of 2,500 yen for an item that is about 15,000 yen it comes out to more than 210+$ US prior to shipping.
-
Unfortunately, I never dealt with Otacute before. I placed an order hoping they could fill it and since they didn't charge upfront I didn't mind. If they don't fill it then I guess I won't have to worry about doing a nice repaint of the YF-29 (I have plenty of Gundam models on my backlog, lol).
-
I got an order the first time around for the YF-29 from amiami and placed a pre-order with Otacute for a slightly inflated price for a 2nd. I'm planning on repainting one of the YF-29s with Alclad II lacquers. Unfortunately I missed out on the VF-25F and S reissues, yet I pre-ordered a fast pack set for Alto with nano, lol. Luckily, I got an order in for the VF-171EX last night through AnimeExport. I think the reason AmiAmi is selling out so fast is probably because Japan residents use them as well. Aside from that a 26% discount is huge compared to all the other sites. Apparently, AmiAmi is suppose to be monitoring purchases for the VF-171EX for duplicates... that probably explains the short three minute window opening 15 minutes later after it sold out in five minutes and possibly again a few hours later. I like AmiAmi... I ordered my two VF-19S from them. They have excellent prices, their shipping is great because they pack everything extremely well. They're my first choice as I'm pretty much sure its the same with many other people. I've had issues with HLJ in the past where I've orders only to find that they used minimal packing materials and were easily damaged. Their response to me about the issue was basically... if I didn't like the way they ship to go shop elsewhere. I keep forgetting about 1999.co.jp and Anime Export. They are the last ones I would usually check, but I've dealt with them in the past and had good view points with them.

Filing a dispute is only up to 45 days. Not sure if this applies for ebay transactions as well.
-
Well... if Bandai's definition of milking the mold is like what they did with the VF-27 (tamashii exclusive for the green one)... then I guess it's going to have some more people happy/pissed, lol.
