Same here. I rather have an Itasha done right Valkyrie (looking at Maruyama's) rather than have an Anniversary scheme Valk.
-
If you paid it with Paypal, then you're safe as long that the item will get released within the next 180 days.
-
Renewal or not, I really want to have a DX Elvis Draken. Period.

Most of your points are correct. The reason why we always refer NY as a proxy is because they accept orders for exclusive items which other stores doesn't. Yes, you are right that they don't mention nor promise that they basically going to order direct to Bandai. Remember NY is a legit store in Japan, that probably has distribution business from Bandai itself. Who knows if this is true, right? One thing for sure is that they will try to order it directly at P-Bandai before sourcing out because if you get it directly from P-Bandai, then you'll get it cheaper. And that's from a businees POV. It's also true that they can source the item if they accept more than they can produce. But as mostly said in here, nobody can really know what's going on under the curtain and NY is not going to explain it to you no matter how many tickets you send to them for inquiry. In the end, everyone's guesses and speculations is as good as anyone else. Any proxy sites cancel your request orders if they didn't obtain the request item. They usually cancel it ahead of time, probably in this case, a day or two after. But since the PO didn't last for a day, then I'm pretty sure they will inform the customer for cancellation and payment returns right away. The only difference here from NY is that NY will not return your payment but instead it's going to give you store credit and has bad customer service. Don't get me wrong on the last part. I still order at NY for bunch of exclusive stuff. But I still hate their customer service.

Sure, as long the next PO is Hikaru's VF-1A. If not, you guys can have all the PO fun.
-
True. And to be honest, forcing oneself to collect this new DX 1/48 line is already madness due to its PO shenanigans. I guess, it's time to re-evaluate my life.
-
Atleast when it went up it's after it got released compared to the VF-1 where the price went up almost doubled at NY in just a span of 5 minutes.

Well, Y12000 is still without shipping. If you choose EMS for US-bound, then it's Y14900. You only saved Y80. With that, just order thru AJ. It will arrive to the US first. Probably it's a glitch.
-
If it's SEED, then there's chance that it's going to be the other packs for Strike? Next information will be revelead come June 17? Easy pass. Money saved. I rather have the actual TV-canon Packs. -
For those who missed out on the missiles or want more, NY has it for Y12000. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26995-dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1-limited-edition.html

Cool photo effects, guys. Don't want to be like an @$$ here, but keep in mind that this is a thread for Hi-Metal R's. For non-HMR, we can use the existing threads below.

Would love to watch if it only comes subtitiled. But thanks for the great news. If they will do a second PO release for the SSP, they should also do the same with the VF-1S too. Because what's the point of opening more of the SSP when there's not enough Valk in the first place? Oh, Bandai. I really love hating you nowadays. They're also not just paid to pretend they're interested in the hobby. They were also paid before to do the Delta character voices as well. Besides, the other things that mentioned above. The Arm parts is more angled and a little bit shorter. Here's a pic from @jenius' Anymoon website.

I'm just assuming that f the Skull Marking Part is double-sided then it's going to look awkward to have that internal mechanism option for the booster packs. You can't display with the internal mechanism showing without the inner portion of the circle marking part a little bit exposed.
-
I think with the pace they're going we'll definitely going to see their design for the VF-1 40th Anniversary Edition.
-
Just so you know, it's not a survey for what figure is coming out. It's more of what's famous in which category within the said anime.
-
Besides, on that image above where the lineup of Skull Marking is, it didn't say 'decal' nor 'sticker'. It just only says 'Skull Mark Parts Included' in katakana and kanji. Maybe there's an access like the Yamato/Arcadia that shows the internal parts and at the same time, you can pull that certain circular parts on the side and change it. Basically making it as interchangeable markings(?). Just a thought and I think it's the practical way to go.

As of now, all we have is the P-Bandai link for this which was been posted by @tjdetweiler a few pages ago. In approximately 10 hours the Tamashii page is going to get updated before or during the actual P-Bandai PO site happens. By then, all we can do is wait.
-
This has been asked a lot of times now and nobody know for certain if there's details underneath it like the Yamato/Arcadia ones and the Hi-Metal R ones.

Ok. What Tamashii offering now is a DYRL version. Remember that the arm pack for SDFM is different from DYRL. And Bandai already shown a prototype for that before. When they're going to release we never know. All we can do is speculating or buy a lot of DYRL packs in the hopes that you already have it in case Bandai decided not to release the TV version after all. The only downside to that is if you want TV accurate packs then the DYRL is not for you because the TV version also have different color. All of them used the packs in the beginning of the movie. Roy's used the Strike Pack and he was designated as 001. The rest of the 3 are using Super Packs. Now if we're going to check again the markings option provided by Bandai via this pic below, it shows Red 001 (Hikaru 1S), Black 001 (Roy 1S), Blue 013 (Max 1A), and Green 012 (Kakizaki 1A). Max wasn't shown with packs when he got promoted to 1S during his battle with Millia. AFAIK, all 1S units have 001 designation. Seeing that there's no Red Skull marking with 011, would that mean Bandai might release Hikaru's VF-1A bundled with Super Parts? Which in that process will omit the Strike Cannon in the bundle. In other words, if ever Bandai is going to release a Max VF-1S, I don't think they will release a separate pack for it with a Blue Skull with 001 designation, right? Since it wasn't shown in the DYRL movie. However, since Max's VF-1S heatshield was painted in black in the movie, I think you can use Roy's Black Skull 001 marking for it. What do you guys think?

AKIRA LIVE ACTION MOVIE = Life Support?

Brothers, eh? Just use those two kids from Ready Player One. And make the younger one -- Tetsuo. -
That's too bad.

At this scale, it would've been nice to have the Micro Missile Pod launch slot gimmick to be open and expose the head point of the micro missile ready to disperse.

Welcome to MacrossWorld. Since you just joined and post, please make sure you check where you need to post. The Toy section where you post is for 'official' releases. Any customs or outside of that concept, sould be in the Workshop section. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/23-the-workshop/ Though we also have a Lego section under Anime or Science Fiction section, where I think it's appropriate to post your inquiry. To answer your question, I think it's best to post a comment to Daikon Cat's stream and see how it goes. Again, welcome to this wonderful community.

In case you missed the few posts above you, the preorder for that is going to open on June 7.
