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?

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.

Something cool going thru the instructions. On the first page on how to install the armor parts the first step is on switching the heads. But on the part about transforming from battroid to fighter. The first step is switching the heads again. Is some part of the visor actually ejected with the rest of the armor? Or it is just anime magic?

I'm in Mexico. For all the years I have being buying from over seas it is the 3rd time I pay taxes. As far as I know only 10% of all packages that go thru customs are acutally checked and charged some taxes.

Just picked mine up from post office. Customs charged me an extra $66 USD Anyways, I was expecting to be a bigger box. Also is a little heavier than I thought

Holy! I should be picking up mine from the post office. I can't tell with all certain for now but the pieces seem not to be mirrored except for the place of the peg. It may be an easy fix if you can't get a replacement. Check the side conectors.

Sounds like the infamous B tab on the Yamato 1/72 FY-19

I think he mean this one. In some videos you can see they push to hard on it

Man. HLJ now taking its time to get my combo shipped. Any one still waiting from them?

It only needs the double strike cannon

Just got charged by HLJ. Only EMS available for now to Mexico. They charged me 8680 yen for the GBP combo and 2 other small items.

Shoulder armor seems to be wider on the DX. Are they?

HLJ in stock date is 09-30. Hope it is sooner. The waiting is killing.

I remember that one. Isn't the chest armor barely balancing on top of the chest plate? You can see on the bottom near the waist armor that is not fully pushed back.

I remember Yamato toys to be super cheap (compared to today's standards). Arcadia toys price tags just skyrocketed for some of the same molds. I don't know how much that set would cost if released today.

For the price tag I would love all the micro missiles bo be removable

A bit can be seen here. Seems to be vents.

Vaca Santa! Still can believe I landed a PO at HLJ. Counting the days.

The card on the display a few post above still reads 2021-09 -25

Is that a Tamashi shipper box? Or just a regular brown box? I can see a barcode on it.

Which one is more popular? TV or DYRL? As far as I know it is the only one that have 2 different appearances. Almost all the VF-1A and Js variants are unique for TV or DYRL each. Maybe people us waiting for a DYRL release.

Sorry. *Wrong post*

Some look masked. Zoom the image and look near the air intake on the chest plate. Others like the one the airbrake seem to be lost completely
