So. Better start to check HLJ every few minutes to see if they have some in stock in the next hours?

I completely missed the PO day.

From Ataru Au on FB.  Well it is taller.

So, it is not to scale withe previous VF?

You could try pinning to fix it. (If parts are thick enough).

I have done it once with myth cloth figure lon ago. 

Problem is to get a hand on the drill and the super thin drilling bits. I asked a local jeweler to help me drill the holes for the pins.

Did Yamato ever do a PF version of the YF-21 or vf-22? Most my valks are in fighter mode so I would get a yammie but I just hate their molded plastic finish... The Bandai YF-19 nails the finish, as did the YF-29 and all their later releases. 

Nope. Just regular releases. And only the original release came with fast packs. If you wanted fast packs for the 21 you had to hunt down the fold booster bundle with pack for both 19 and 21.

You either have a slim and aerodynamic fighter with a skinny batroid mode or a well proportionated batroid mode with an absolute chunk of fighter mode.

I wouldn't be too picky. The 21 by far, might, gotta be the most anime magic affected valk.

Weird. I have never seen a product like this with shipping to Mexico.

Go, go, go!

I'd be in for one more if I had the moneys 

Oh! So, is this going to be an actual release? 

Wasn't very sure if I wanted to get some hi metal (since I wasn't able to grab either Max and Miria supers or or Hikaru GBP).

Guess this will be a good chance.

I knew there was something odd. Why is Arcadia giving it hard points?

Just came across this ones

Because of the perspective proportions may look a bit off but it looks to me that the landing gear is longer than the landing gear bay.

Not a huge fan of Transformers but a Lego fan since kid.

To be assembled this weekend

Just scored a terrific deal on amazon this weekend.

Guess these sets are not that popular here in Mexico.

Luna Lander came with 34% off and The Discovery with a whopping 25%

A VF-1S in Kakizaki colors? Now, that is a view.

Are you selling these only via Ebay?

I'm interested in a 1D shipped to Mexico.

I'd believe that if this is a official second run, the price should be near MSRP (around 20000 yen)

The price for that publication seems to be aftermarket pricing.

VF-1S neck is bigger/widder. VF-1J head won't fit on the S neck. Also I found out that S head is very lose when you put it on the J neck.

Not a great fan of M7 valks but I hope this is a small window opening for VA-6.

Has Arcadia ever re-released anything?

Since Arcadia was Yamato, lots of VF-1. Does that count? 

Got curious about this. Just tried removing them from my Fockker. No issues. 

I remember having trouble back then with the 1/48 Yammies. 

DX is way easier, or is just my copy.

Just ask your friend if is a first release. If it is open ask him to check the the biceps.

On the first run of the biceps just exploded for no reason and to make the things worse you only noticed it when handled the toy just to find the arms to be loose as hell. (A part that slide over the biceps during transformation hide this issue)

There is the listing for the releases.

After the original release there are 2 more.

You can identify the release by the box art.

The Yamato mold doesn't look that bad next to the DX.  If the Yammies elimited stickers and everything came tampo'd, I bet they would still sell....as long as they were cheaper than the Bandai offerings.

 

Sure is a delight to see them together. And side by side you couldn't tell there is a 15 years gap between both designs. 

It is just me or Bandai pilot figures are a bit small?

Hope that our customers enjoy the unboxing video

 

Wait. I think this is illegal...

Taking some time to clean the old Yammie.

I also trying to get a nice back ground to shoot some comparison pics

Also, didn't remember how loose and fiddly the Yamato is.

Got some time to play with my combo.

So far zero issues.

Only found out that the left shoulder and the socket for the left hand are a bit loose (not to the point of compromising posability)

A minor inconvenient (almost had a haert attack), missile cover just fell off while installing the leg parts. It just needed a little bit more glue at the factory. Easy fix.
