The 3 beam sabres look like it might be some kind of beam spear like a gm striker’s

Nin-nin dropped the price to 14960 yen and thus was a no brainer for me.

Where is the tomahawk?

I saw this last week when I was in japan, at the tamashi nations in akihabara

It said ships in 2023.11, was there a PO for this that we missed?

In japan now and the local shops sell the VF-0D for 12800yen, too bad I already bought my copy a while ago.

edit for spelling mistakes

AE via DHL says it should be on my doorstep on 8/24! 

My shipping options from AE only had EMS or small packet airmail, how do I get them to use DHL?

I guess they are just slow then, I guess I can wait a bit for it

Hi has anyone gotten their unit from anime export yet? Mine is still in awaiting release status. Should I email them about it?

Oh, thanks for that information, I was looking at the pics and couldnt spot the difference.

Hi may I know the difference between the VF-5000B and VF-5000G?

Still says release date of late November 2019. Did it say something earlier? I would guess they found a box or two in the warehouse.

Oh maybe they did, that explains it, I also misread the date and thought it was late november this year. I already have one, so good luck you all that registered.

Was there a reissue of the DX VF-1S Hikaru DYRL version? I saw this link

I have been looking for the title of a certain movie for the longest time, in this movie there was a scene on a subway train whereby a commuter had a mini screen over his right eye watching a black and white godzilla movie. This movie I think was a some what futuristic movie. I have tried googling this for the longest time and always get links to godzilla movies instead.

Should we be hopeful that the tomahawk is listed in the coming soon section of the new Hi Metal R book?  Or just another tease?

Opps i should watch the whole video in future, i guess the price and date was for something else.

The only problem I have with mine is the display stand for storm attacker mode had a small support piece broke off, I can still put it on the stand, just that if I moved it, the macross will fall off the stand.

That clear version, is that a V1?

Got mine and it seems that the tolerance issues with the wing tabs are still there, just that they are slightly better than those on hayate’s version. They can hold fighter mode, but will still pop off from time to time.

Sadly, I don't believe the hardpoints will be the correct size.  The ones in the wing hinges are a different size compared with the usual missile ones.

After your comments I went to test fit some other stuff, It seems that the lik drakens and the missles mountings from the VF-19 will not fit on the mountings where the boosters go but they fit on the hardpoints under the wing of the AX, weird, then I tried the 3rd party 3 missle mount and single missle mount that were made from the molds of the EX-171 missles and those have no problems fitting while the others from the same set like the huge MDE, reaction missle and missle pods could not fit.

But from what I see, the booster might fit the underside hardpoints abeit loose as the hardpoints on the wing fold seem too small for those I mentioned that could not fit.

Seeing how the AX super boosters attach to the wing, I think I can put them on the underside hardpoints of a regular VF-31 with supers on and make a 4 booster version, I ‘ll call it a VF-31 super super, haha

Hi Guy s, thanks for all the info on shaving/filing the wing pegs. I have one question before I do the same for mine, which side of the pegs are you guys shaving/filing? (In fighter mode, the side facing up or down?)

We will need to fix those wing pegs when the super parts come out for these toys, I read how they were attaching to the wings and can confirm there is a hard point holes where the wing folds. If the wings are not secured at the pegs it will cause all sort of problems with the added weight at the extremities of those wings.

On a better note, I do love the new cockpit, I didnt realised that they changed the design of it and the pilot now sits not so close to the front of the cockpit. Also the design has changed to a one piece ‘glass’ instead of a 2 piece one.

Did they also removed the 2nd seat on it or maybe I missed something and can’t access it.

Just got mine, my thoughts is that for some reason, my copy feels less solid when in fighter mode compared to the VF-31A, the stubs on the wings don’t seem to fit well into the holes in the legs that its supposed to peg into, maybe it was not transformed properly from thr factoy.

Now onto what I like, I never noticed that they changed the cockpit to one piece in the promo shots, and I really like that, also they moved the pilot seat back now and it looks like it is the correct position compared to the VF-31A to S.
