The dx VF-19 advance has already opened but most places are sold out, maybe nearer towards the release date (may 2015) u might be able to procure one due to order cancellation, to find out where u can find one, might i suggest u go to the dx VF-19 thread

Thats their standard cookie cutter response, its never their fault, even when it is

Cdjapan is still open, i got my yf-30 from them and just preordered my vf-19 from them, but i had to pay upfront, heard you can do a pay later option but have no idea how to

Cdjapan go go go

And its gone

Sorry it took so long. Here's the pic. It's not very obvious, but you can see a little bit of the tab from the top, showing that it had not gone completely in.

Hi saito, i have that problem on my left wing, if you fold down the wing, u will notice that there should be extra plastic on the hinge which was not cleanly cut off, thats whats causing mine to tab in completely on that side. Maybe you can check if yous is the same

Gonna throw it up here, that I once ordered a blu-ray box set from Mandarake, and they offered FedEx because it was cheaper than EMS. Turns out, Fedex wanted me to pay an extra fee (can't remember the amount, think it was about $10) when they sent it to my house.

Needless to say I was kinda miffed, and asked them for an explanation. They said it was indicated on their invoice (WHAT INVOICE?!).

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ended up forking it out because it was still ultimately cheaper than EMS.

Also, I think this has been covered already, but I probably missed it. So I got my YF-30 in the mail, and it was pretty nice and all. Haven't gotten around to transforming it, but out of the box, the wings were folded for packaging. I tried putting them up for flight mode, and on one side, the wing just refuses to tab in.

Anybody had this same issue? And any ideas on how I can remedy it? Worse case scenario, this will be the piece I leave in Battroid mode.

Mind showing us a pic about the wing, my right wing does not tab in completely and i noticed the plastic was not cleanly cut near the hinge but have yet to file it as that part is painted. Will do so when i can get matching paint for that area

I was really lucky, i got my 25s armour parts for around $150, i actually ordered the alto one and he sent me by mistake the ozma ones, and decided to keep it as he was selling them both for the same price, a while later i got my alto parts for around the same price and was a happy camper

Thank you all

I'm from singapore and i too would like to kmow if any asian based stores are taking orders for this

Just wondering if anyone else got this toy. I recent bought one and am amazed at the quality of the figure.

Transformed mine last might and found that you do not really need the brace in battlroid mod at this point of time (joints being still stiff and good)

I love how the landing gear doors can pull outwards before folding them open

Got mine today, am a happy camper

For that price is better be 1/60

That said, i did not manage to get one the 1st 2 times and being oneof my favs, I will have to get this

I thought bandai did annouce the pre order date, thats why we knew about it, actually a lot of stock from ami ami is snapped up by scalpers in japan, as u can find them in secodary markets right after amiami sells put, sometimes even before. As amiami does not require you to pay 1st, where else cdjapan required a pay 1st thus, it disuades scalpers from buying from them which is a boon for us the real collectors

The preorder bullshit is just crap, maybe if they did their general realease with the flexibility of webexclusives(meaning make more on demand) then i guess that wld have been better

Yes, and they have no discount, in faxt this is my very 1st time getting from them

Its funny that ppl are saying they got one from ami ami, as i loaded the page right on the dot at 4pm japan time, it went from going on sale to sold out right in 1 min, i did not even get the add to cart button and i had someone trying with me at the same time on 2 different computers and we both got the same results, at that very second i refreshed cdjapan, saw it there and decided to just buy it there and then to not incurr any more headache from bandai bullshit preorders, thank gawd this is my last one, and my 1st one that iever managed to get via preorders aside from web exclusives

From my understanding, yes you do

On the note about panel lining for the VF -27, I always thought that the VF-27 was more organicin design thus the lack of panel lines, was this true in the lineart too?

Hmmm stranger things do happen

I highly doubt bandai will do a second reissue for the 25F esp when they have yet o reissue the 25S but stranger things have happened

Yeah i just took my 25A out and transformed it to battleloid and back and found it relatively easy to do so, so was hoping to see what could be the problem with his unit

After leaving my 25A alone for yet another week, I decided to take it out and at least pose it in fighter on a shelf, all the while telling myself, "Don't try to transform it to battroid, you almost destroyed it last time, you just don't know how!" Sure enough five minutes later I found myself pulling the legs/hips down from gerwalk heading to battroid, but I knew it, I even felt it, I should have just left it alone. I officially broke the neck, the black "collar" piece around the neck snapped, and the housing around the neck "extender" disintegrated into two pieces, the head just kind of popped off onto the floor, looking up at me like "Why? Why couldn't you transform me? Why did you do this?" I feel kind of stupid, I completely mauled this thing as this point, and it seems like everyone else owns a half dozen of these and they can transform them by looking at them and snapping their fingers. I'm obviously disappointed, I never particularly liked the 25 other than fighter, but I wanted to have at least one in my collection. Since it's broke and mangled I can't gift it, I'm not handy enough to fix it, and I don't want to bother trying to sell what's left. My 29 Anniversary arrives tomorrow, if it ends up being a similar experience I'm just going to try to sell it here before I murderize another expensive figure .

Do you have pics of where it broke, as i would like to take a look at the dmg and hopefully it will be a warning to others on where it might break
