I wouldn't call that box art Neon pink at all.

So hopefully, their “modern interpretation” sticks closer to red.  Seriously, that pink just will stick out like a sore thumb in group shots.

I definitely enjoyed the improvements and tweaks they did from the initial prototype to the second one.

Just hope Sentinel can nail the colors next.

Look at the box art for her fighter, the bike is VERY neon pink, NOT red. Sentinel is screwing this up for sure. Very disappointed. Very likely a pass.

So hopes of a full squad on bikes is out the window as far as I am concerned.

Is anyone else beside me still waiting on their Sentinel ETA Legioss from BBTS? I can't imagine it taking nearly half a year for any sort of shipment to arrive even by the slowest method of shipping across the ocean. People have gotten theirs from BBTS months ago and I can't seem to get a helpful answer from them on if I should still be expecting to get one or not.

I am as well. Last I was told they were waiting on the rest of their order but yes, this is unusual for them. Interestingly, it is not listed as "Sold Out" as it does normally when no more to be had. It shows as still "Pre-Order Sold Out" so clearly they expected X amount and only got in y so far. I am close to giving up and ordering at scalped pricing.

Hey @spanner! I just remembered that I have an order too from NY. Haven't heard from them as well. Not keeping my hopes up now.

 

Thanks for reminding me... I too have a paid order for Strike parts and not so much as an email about being delayed or that they where in. Submitted a ticket asking to downgrade shipping or get a refund. Which I know will be a credit I will probably never use, never touching NY again.

Have you contacted them?

I have as I am still waiting to get my pre-order filled. They say they have not received their entire shipment and do not know when they are getting the rest.  I suspect he got someones unpaid preorder.

Any word from Sentinel about a 2nd run? I suspect, for the first time ever, I may get shorted by BBTS. Not sure I can somach the aftermarket prices already on this in Japan...

Here's where I'm guessing Sentinel drops the ball.... I'm fearing it will be more pink then red when released....

Their default color option for the micro version with the fighter release got me thinking, why would they pick that pink for it? Unless that is the prominent overall color of the larger one. 

Is it just me or is Bandai going WAYYYY out of it's way to say "frakk off if you're outside of Japan! We do not want you to have this!" more than usual this time around?

SO NY is a no go this time? No overpriced stock huh? This sucks.

New photos and 6/2020 release date via Dengeki Hobby:

It's perfect IMHO. I Never loved any of the modern offerings, they where always to lean and tall looking. Alphas to me have always been "stubby" and a bit 'Squat" looking. Sentinel appears to have really nailed that look and made the fighter mode amazing.

Looks like the pilot figures are even articulated! 

I'm in for all three + the eventual Beta's.

If it's got HG on the package don't buy it, lots of other and far better choices out there to spend money on. 

If it say Toynami on the package, stay far away.

This would’ve been me had I been collecting at the Yammie stages. I just prefer the way DX feels in hand and don’t want to pay a premium to go back in time like I have for some grails in order to get Yammies. Also, DYRL is my fave so TV vermillion would only be the bonus now to get Kaki. Then of course there’s M&M.

 The madness never stops does it?! 

No, no it doesn't

I only have a soft spot for the VF-1S in the DYRL style so I may just seek out a Arcadia premium finish and be fine with that instead. Think it pair a bit better with their SDF-1 as well. Also going to continue with picking up 1/60 scales across the various manufacturers to get one of each style of VF so I can display the evolution of the design together.

Just going to stick to TV style only on the DX's to have their own display.

I only got back into collecting again a couple of years ago so I am kind of starting fresh on valks so I do have options

DX VF-1A Max will probably jump in price after all the retail stock dries up. This has happened every time with every version of it released in the past.

For sure, given enough time I am sure my extra will find a home. I am not to worried about it.

Sadly it looks like I am going to have to pass on this one.  Just can't do this AND Vehicle Voltron in the same month and having to choose.... and it was hard. I'm keeping my preorder for Voltron.

Gambling they re-release or someone will want to trade for the extra vf-1A Max. I do have the Strike Set preordered ironically.
