True. Here I am with envy. But you know what, they should've put two passenger figures. One for Minmay, one for Misa.

Got mine today. The first thing I check is the color of the Packs just to see if it matches the ol' Yamato DYRL Packs. And here's what I noticed. Strike & Super Parts: - It's 2-4% a little bit darker compared from the Yamato one and a little bit towards yellow on the color. Let's say like 4%. - All Missiles are now using the same white as the Valk. Including the Micro Missiles inside the boosters. VF-1S: - Compared to Arcadia Hikaru white, it's less pink hue. But to be honest, I checked all the white part of this Valk, and it varies. The white color itself is not consistent all throughout. Chest white is kinda has purple hue. Back white has kinda have subtle yellow tint on it. Nosecone area also kinda have that subtle yellow tint on it compared to Hikaru. I don't know if it's just my eye or the light or how the angle is when I'm looking on it. With all this different hue I see on the whites. How I wish somehow that they used their VF-0S white here. But... as much as I liked that VF-0S white, I'm just glad that they didn't use it. Because it will not be the same as my Arcadia Hikaru's VF-1S. But overall, I'm loving it. I mean, it's a VF-1. I'm not gonna bash Arcadia for missing out 'again' the tampos on this release since I'm already used to it. But after seeing the Arcadia-white now on the missiles and whatnot, how I wish they reissue next Hikaru's 1A or 1S.

Or it's a tribute for Aisha Blanchette for creating/designing the foundation for the VF-31.

Thank you for sharing that sir. I always have my packages delivered at work. So I guess, that would be fine. Thanks again. Hope I could get the shipping payment today so they could sent it out tomorrow so it will arrive early next week.

Hey guys. Not sure where to put this question. I have bunches of stuff on HLJ PW and I noticed that FedEx is somehow Y1000-1200 cheaper than EMS. I used FedEx here within US but not from via HLJ. I want to try it just to save a few bucks but I have to ask first if they're ok. Thanks.

Got a payment request today from HLJ. Looking forward to your early impression, technoblue. I'm just waiting for another item before I shipped out all the stuff from PW. Sad to say that after that initial reaction of the payment request my wallet needs some long rest. VF-1S and Orguss in a month.

Thanks 505th for the pics! But you got me confused there. When you said 'Arcadia is the same color as the Arcadia', did you meant the Valk whites? If you meant the SSP's, then the Arcadia one has the same color as the Yamato's? Is that correct? Anyways, from the looks of it, the only difference of both SSP armors would be the white parts of the missiles(?). Again, thanks for this pic comparison. Can't wait to get mine so I can compare them myself.

Watch also his next video where he applied Rubbing Compound for polishing.

Thanks 505th! When you said grey, then it's more desaturated? Yeah, the Yamato ones are more on the bluish-green tint. And If you said that it's more grey, can you atleast verify if it has more blue or green tint? Thanks again!

Congrats everyone! Quick question since most of us are curious about it. Mine is still on the way. But can you someone verify if the SSP has the same color as the Yamato ones? Thanks!

Right. Obscure ones like the VF-1A Calvaliers, VF-X, VT-1 Super Ostrich and VE-1 Elintseeker, right?

Are you referring to the wing root, the hinge joint that's connected to the hips? 1:40-2:06 from Jenius transformation video? If that's the one, try to pull the wing's lock tab first away from the body. Try to push the wing joint upward from the side area, or you could pull gently from the top, to separate it from the hip. And gently fold down the wing root/joints towards the side of the hips. Hope that helps.

Oh. I should've known. Here you go. Before After

It's the one above that was posted by Lolicon. Eyes are decal by the way.

Couldn't agree more. And up to now, I do take a lot of time transforming my Valks. And once in awhile I open up transforming videos just in case I miss any folds and turns. The only Valk that I could transform easily is the VF-1's. Or... we could all just jump ship and do TomyTec Gimix from now on.

Ooops. My bad. When I said pre-painted, I meant the plastic are already molded in colors. Guess I used the wrong term. Should've used the right description. Silly me. Hehehe. Sorry for the he confusion, jvmacross.

Uhm, no. That's up to you. But why would you buy another kit when all I just said is they might release the other Attack mode which is the TV version kit first before producing those etching parts. Just like killing two birds with one stone.

Wait first until the release date before going the scalpers route. They might restock or something.

I think Ami has the cheapest one by a few hundred yen. And yes, it comes pre-painted and with decal. But you can still paint it if you want to add depth to it.

Aren't they're using the same Japan Post International Shipping Fees? The only reason why we think that it's steep is because we're also paying the shipping fees from the seller to Buyee's warehouse. And not to forget their service fee so that they can run their proxy services. That's the price we need to pay if we really want things that we could only get in Japan. Unless you befriended some Japanese and do the biddings for you for free. Or you could just wait until they show up on Mandarake or eBay. Just saying. But like jvmacross said if you could use their 90 days and ship everything together for sure you save some dough.

I see. Thought the ones who were asking are all from US. I really felt your excitement over there, spanner.

Yes. But no release date too. I just said including Millia's because that one has more probability getting a release date announcement soon. Since they already showed the planned artwork featured on the bundled display stand.

Hey jvm. Looking at what you're posting here makes me want to ship the book only from HLJ. Getting excited to see the whole variants in person. And to see and plan how to make the Longhorns version. Gotta tell you, if HLJ plans on making another VF-4G sale I might grab one again. Hehehe.
