Nin-nin asked additional 3100 yen after original 5100 yen i already paid for airmail, oh. I always hated those additional bandai's stands

This is what keeps me off from bitting the bullet with them.

Angel Birds is not a really must get to me. If I can grab one at mandarake I'd be happy.

For my first purchase with Hobby-Genki I'm going to give them a solid review. I received my process info on Thursday morning, then a tracking number Friday morning and here she is, nicely packaged and zippo issues! 

I also give them credit in that the DHL I initially payed for was apparently waaaaaay more expensive (which I had anticipated), so instead of charging me extra they simply sent it FedEx Express and it got here ultra fast!! I might... I might actually get one more of these, it looks really good in person!! 

Weird. Have somebody noticed Bandai  threw in DYRL fix posed hands?

Edit: Never mind. All TV series released so far have them.

Are those custom pilot figures?

And one extra just in case.

Hi metal available again at nin-nin-game

Design wise it is probably the best Yamato era toy.

The only thing it misses is on the size of the horizontal stabilizers. 

If it is equiped with the booster it is pretty much perfect.

By the way. I just noticed that the release will include gun pod.

Being part of an acrobatic team is it supposed to be armed?

In the very few frames in the anime I can't see any equiped with gunpods.

Is there any officially info about this VF-1 being armed?

That part of "open the air brake" to star transforming to gerwalk will always crack me up.

😆 I keep checking from time to time. Came to post it here.

Got one in as well.

Hope is not a system hick up and get cancelled later.

Just noticed that the limit is 2 per costumer

I was looking for it for some time. I had it in an old drive I couldn't access any more.

Wanted to recreat it with the new DD Focker and old Yamato V.1. but I don know what other old model I could use. Yamato 1/48 and 1/60 V.2. are still very good toys in comparison.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be worth getting just a Yamato v1, mostly for historical reasons. I nearly pulled the trigger on the Super Ostrich a few times, to double as filling the 1/60 hole in the collection. I hope Arcadia announces this for their next 1/60 VF-1 release.

I still have all my Yamatos V.1.

The first release of the VF-1S was my first Macross toy. If I'm not wrong I got it form Kevin Lam at Valkyrie-Exchange.

I'm only missing the Toys R Us exclusive VF-1A CF and the VF-1J GBP bundle.

The good old dayof the V.1's

Could this world wide release policy help with the costumer service for product defective/replacement? 

I know some times brands only have these serices for domestic market and in a very few instances for over seas.

Woah! That VF 1J GBP is a Yamato V1. Haven't seen of those in a while. Besides mine of course.

Then we can swap parts with the original release and make a true movie version.

The sketch that @sh9000 posted above leads me to think that the box won’t have a clear window on the front this time.

VF 0S box has the window on the back side and a full illustration on the front

I'm a moron. Totally forgot we changed from summer to winter time late october and just messed the time for the preorder 😆. Came a few minutes past 1 am (Mexico city) to check and they were gone already.

So, today is preorder night? 

I don't want to miss this one out 

If it was listed as broken or something in those lines you might want to check the fuel tanks on the top of the fuselage. It seems to be one of the pegs.

Nice. I hope this time I can land a PO at HLJ. Totally missed the Hikaru Super TV VF-1S.

Just watched the the trailer.

They better put purple t-rex Megatron in (at less in a small cameo) or I'm out.

Just came across this vid on YouTube. 

Found another one. Lol

This is what the next level in "detail" for toy SSP should be...what Bandai unveiled at the recent Tamashii event has already done by Yamato....in 2 scales!....shame Bandai...you can do better!

 

My thoughts exactly. Even the GBP was a little step back on what Yamato delivered long ago. Tampo is nice, but why not give tampo and gimmicks at the same time?

Club M ultimate detail kit

That looks like a super scaled 1/100 VF-1S. I have never seen it before.

You mean like this guy?

 

Yep. Those ones. I still remember when toynami was a thing. Then boom! Yamato came with the V.1. and basically killed the competition.

Seen picks like this really throw me back in time.
