Looks like some customization/correction might be needed ... d'oh!
https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1689975465375879168Is it a tolerance problem?
By chrome translation I under stand that he had just to file down some parts.
My VF 1D have a problem on the part where the head is attached to the fuselage, I can't fold it far enough for fighter mode.

How is Nin-nin? I'm always to tempted to try them, but came across a few stories of them listing items they actually don't have stock, and then the buyer is either stuck with a long refund process or a voucher.
Legit. My first preorder with them went smooth.
If you are ordering this weekend have a bit of patience for any reply from them. Japan is closed by the Obon festival

Has somebody tried to mod the filler to cover the back of the neck? The chest armor hooks uses the same holes of the fillers.
I have spare fillers but just wanted to know if it somebody have tried before.

"Anime magic"
The YF-21 is one of the impossibles to get near perfect, both, battroid mode and fighter mode in toy. 21 is a very slick figther mode to accommodate the chonk of battroid mode it has.

Funny, I definitely got charged for my HLJ order.. but it's yet to make it to my warehouse for shipping, it's been in processing over a day now.
Not in a rush, since I'm waiting for other things to come out before I ship, but still weird to see them take that long.
Mine popped in my warehouse this morning.
But I also have a preirdered t-shirt that released last weekend, not charged yet, but already shows as discontinued.
Seems it is taking them some time to process orders.

Got my notice from HLJ as well. One of rare times a Bandai valk arrives early in the month.
Got charged as well.

Just catching up with the latest pictures and this to me doesn't seem like great engineering.
For something that will probably be around 250€ in price I would expect better range for leg/hip articulation and not having to worry about denting or scraping bits on the toy.
Look pretty much like the system used in the Yamato VF-19s. The swing bar catches the leg on the back side (upper part) of the intake and has a rotation point also.

For comparison though.. the current conversion puts that at about $350. Maybe my sense of value has inflated with the times, but that doesn't even seem that outrageous to me.
You won't find one for anything close to that on ebay, but a quick check on Mandarake shows one copy of the VF-1S for 38,000 yen, and a previously sold set of packs for 11,000, so that's almost even.
I'm not going to pay that much for a fixed tail marking and some clear plastic parts I would never use, but I have no idea how difficult these will be to get through any of the usual sources, if they're even available. I have no idea how this lottery is going to work.
At the star of the year I was lucky to get a hand on a pre-owned one at mandarake. Thanks to the yen-peso exchange rate I almost paid the same amount that I paid for a Roy VF-1S (that lucky showed up at HLJ afert the first orders sold out).

pics...thanks @recon...
LOL I still see the 100 on the tail....... thanks bandai...
Isn't it corrected?
I just wonder if only include the clear pieces or also the solid color ones.

Correct me if wrong bit I think this is the first time we see this in a toy. Bandai used it in a late variable model kit a few years ago. I like it.

I think I agree with that...sort of like the vf-1 battroids arms and the rotating hands come out, but reversed for the feet
that looks like a hinge at the top
If that is the case on the other side of the same pic you can see where that parts is supposed to rotate.
What I'm seeing is that the lower part of the legs seems a bit short to me. I might be with the purpose of accommodating tha lower part inside the upper part.

*checking the date on my phone*
No, it is not April 1st.
All cool.

That is one of my dream valks of the Yamato era but right know I have a lot of stuff coming from August to the end of the year. Maybe next year.

Here is one that if had the money right now I would jump into right away.

It just me or the detail on the battloid mode contrast a lot with the fighter mode?

Wait. Did they do that on purpose?
-
Have somebody noticed that the neck cover for fighter mode now seems not to be integrated to the shield?
The tabs (?) look very much different.

The new Roy colour is cool, but now when I see the comparison it just makes the old Roy looks like it has yellowed lol.
Looks very close to the DX off-white.

At less the fold booster should be in since it is one of the main features in the anime.
I don't really mind about the payload since the YF-19 was never animated using that kind of weapons.

Woah! Just wonder what cal that gatling gun fires?

AWACS!
Just picked it up from the post office.
I just fell in love with this line.
It is like something you can feel very comfortable playing without the fear of dropping it to the ground by accident and losing a good amount of money.

I read about this long ago on Jenius reviews.
With a little fiddling I was able to push the arm pegs almost all the way.
The leg pegs seems won't go all way in.
The thing is you have to push the arms up keeping pressure on the backpack. It doesn't require a lot of force. But should be done with care.
