    I only paid the 10% deposit. I'd like a new PF YF-21, but whatever happened to the PF YF-19 they showed some years back?

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Think of how much the poor soul who lost the canopy got from Mandarake for it. He got Gamestopped!

    Just use From Japan. You don't have to create an Arcadia account or anything. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/ Create an account at FJ and then go here. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/urlOrder Copy and paste the Arcadia URL for the PF VF-4, fill out the rest of the next page (it's all in English and very straightforward), submit, then wait for the email from From Japan confirming the order.

    Oh I just remembered I still have that 10% coupon from HLJ. Might be worth it now to get it there instead of Amazon...
  5. Lolicon
    Yeah, taking into account how much time it takes to panel and decal up a VF-4 (having done it myself), I'd rather just pay the extra money. My time is more valuable than that these days. Ask Yamato how the volume-profits model worked out for them.

    Until NY or whoever is willing to carry webshop exclusives posts theirs, you have to use a proxy to order direct from Arcadia.
  7. Lolicon
    Already ordered a PF version. Might keep my standard AJ order to tinker with.
  8. Lolicon
    Amazon subtracts the tax for foreigners when we check out. Ordered one because who knows how long it'll be before we see the next PF.

    I have those decal sheets. They're great for bigger markings like the UN SPACY or ejection seats or the big 301. But a lot of the smaller text markings aren't that great. It's fine as long as you don't look too closely at it. All this hassle could have been avoided if they just printed 301 on the wing.
  10. Lolicon
    Whoa where did you get them from?

    You can have all my Macross stuff in the event I die in a blimp crash. I still think that's the best and worst squadron name ever.

    Since the standard edition is going regular retail, I'm expecting the PF edition to be an Arcadia webshop item. That's not going to help with the price.
  13. Lolicon
    Starting to look a little less bland now.
  14. Lolicon
    I want the PF version!
  15. Lolicon
    Buying direct from Arcadia means paying full MSRP plus 10% consumption tax.
  16. Lolicon
    @spanner Yeah I was just messing with your head. Your 0D is perfect.
  17. Lolicon
    Sadly, printing white is not possible unless you have a special decal printer. Fortunately, the 11C is almost completely white so it isn't really an issue. Thanks! I'm developing a new appreciation for the Thunderbolt now that I've spent a lot more time messing with it, as opposed to just sitting on a display stand as it has been all these years.
  18. Lolicon
    Hey @spanner your 0D is missing one of its ejection seat markings.
  19. Lolicon
    Whoa they all look amazing! Great work! Now you're making me regret never getting a Cavaliers.
  20. Lolicon
    Break it. Some of the screws were ridiculously tight too. I have a blister on my hand from the amount of torque needed to remove some of them.
  21. Lolicon
    Oh, just Bandai DX stuff. Boring.
  22. Lolicon
    You reminded me of the time I played FFXI back in the day. I used the Japanese client because Square Enix inexplicably did not allow Japanese input on the English client, and instead forced American players to use their stupid auto-translate phrase generator. So I would often receive these auto-translate messages from American players which would have made sense in English, but were freaking gibberish when they came over to me in Japanese. I would reply "English is fine dude."
  23. Lolicon
    Whoa whoa whoa you're selling your stuff off? What are you selling?
  24. Lolicon
    Haha thanks all. My case is minor and I never felt the need to go to the emergency room or anything. Just super fatigued for almost two weeks and didn't have the energy to do anything except rest, watch TV, and occasionally crawl to the kitchen to eat something. I'm still barred from returning to work pending a negative COVID test, but at least I'm still getting paid. Anyway, it seems Yamato took a page from Bandai's playbook and started screwing and gluing everything together, making taking apart the VF-11 a bit of a chore. Made my own decal sheet in preparation. Decals are for both the B and C.

    Oh, I love reading your critiques of Bandai's poor solutions to problems that others have already fixed with much better solutions. I'm always noticing how poorly designed things are every I go, especially as I get older. Case in point: when I visit a certain friend, in order to get into the neighborhood, you have to enter a code at the gate. However, the keypad is on the right side of the driveway, meaning that unless you're Mr Fantastic and can stretch your arm from the driver seat out the passenger window to hit the keypad, you'll have to get out of your car and walk around to the keypad to enter the gate code. Oh, and the driveway isn't long enough to accommodate anything longer than a Yugo, so the back of your car will be sticking out into the street the entire time. It's 2020 and Bandai still hasn't learned that relying purely on friction to hold things in place is goddamn stupid.
