Wow! Even more hyped now. The transformation is an improvement over the Yamarcadia design in all ways. Let's hope it doesn't suffer from overly tightened joints like the YF-19, where we see a leg snapped right off.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
eggy99 replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The 1007 is a solid piece. Not much accessories and limited articulation though. Still a fantastic mold and has a great look next to Metal Build 00 releases. The grey colour is great! -
Tempted by the Quanta, but have to save for the 3 DX VF-1Js in Dec.

Hoping for a bit TWE 31A the 2nd release. Fast packs included please.

Add 1 more: Revised Intakes, that aren't blunt... but I guess that's not really engineering. More aesthetics.

That gap you're seeing the clearance required for the canopy to swing open on the hinge. @Ignacio Ocamica already posted evidence of the integrated heat shield.

I also prefer the Arcadia canard angle too, but the implementation is better on the DX. Too bad Arcadia messed up the intakes.

HLJ listing has vanished.

Don't worry. This is just the entree. Bandai is sure to release all Cross Bone Gundam to fully utilise the mold. I think I would definitely be down for a X1 Full Cloth.

HLJ shipped!

Arcadia releases never suffer from PO Madness.

I think if you bought on release date and held on to it unopened (a tough thing to do) to see the reviews once they are released and in the end were convinced to not keep it, then it would be an easy task selling it to another MWF member for cost price. No loss to you really, and you'd make another MWF member happy too. That being said I actually had a little bit of trouble passing my HLJ AILE Strike PO to another member here, but I am in Australia. with not that many Aussie members here, and this is also a Macross majority community. I did however easily pass my DX YF-19 PO on to another Aussie forum member. I didn't even get the chance to post the for sale post. I was approached via PM after mentioning my intention to cancel my PO.
-
Judging from the Metal Build AILE Strike, and DX YF-19 Full set, there will definitely be stock during the release week from cancelled preorders and also more stock on release day. We're still anticipating a release without the special fighter stand too, but there has been no news at all about that.

HLJ EMS shipping to Australia, ¥4070

Looks great. Probably won't PO this one. Might get it if I can get it for a good price through work and I have the money.
-
HLJ preorder for @apptt4 payment completed and ready for shipping from private warehouse.
-
Another Bandai mis-transformation? Looks OK here.
-
Reminder for all Aussie collectors you cannot purchase direct from Amazon Japan any longer as all international Amazon stores will NOT ship to Australia, because they don't to collect tax for the Australian government all the paperwork related to tax reporting for the ATO. You can only purchase through Amazon AU.

Correction. That should be: VF-1S DYRL Strike Roy or VF-1S TV Super Hikaru. Canonically there isn't a Roy TV Super, as poor Roy foolishly bled to death over a pineapple salad before the Super packs were deployed. Do we believe that Bandai will release with a VF-1 with Super packs? They just love their web exclusive packs with their DX line. I guess they have included Super/Strike packs with their HMR line, so there is a possibility. I speculate Bandai will milk us and release a VF-1S Roy naked, and a VF-1S TV Hikaru with Super pack (with only RMS-1 Anti-Ship Reaction Warheads) - the only difference being the pilot figure and the pilot name tampo on the canopy. Followed by a web exclusive ordinance package containing AMM-1s and 4x UUM-7 micro-missile pod. For the record I would still love Bandai to release a DX VF-1D. It would be amazing if it came with 2 Minmei figures - 1 for sitting in the cockpit with Hikaru, and 1 for being held in the battroid hand. My dream list: 3x VF-1J for display in each mode 1x Super VF-1S Hikaru displayed in fighter 1x VF-1D displayed in gerwalk Maybe a VF-1S Roy in fighter or battroid.
-
Ah! I stand corrected.
-
Low chance of Bandai doing VF-1D as a general release. They already have sales performance of the Yamato VF-1D as an expectation of sales. That was around 1/2 the SRP of their DX and it was a shelf warmer. But maybe that was because of the reported flaws in the shoulder. Best chance would be a Web exclusive release so they can lock the numbers in.
-
It was pretty decent. Amiami had limit of 2 and lasted for longer than usual. Most stores lasted longer than normal (except NY as usual). There was also Amazon JP which had it for very generous price after shipping and lasted a long time. There is speculation that this will open up again but without the LE fighter mode stand, but nothing so far. Probably good chance there will be units on release day. It was still the typical PO madness like for all Bandai premium products.
