Hi everyone,

Has anyone had problems dealing with Yokatta recently? I pre-ordered the renewal armor parts from them and have sent them a couple of emails asking about the status of the items. Until now more than a week later I still didn't get any reply from them...

Preorder up at Amiami.

Regular Edition

First Release Limited Edition

Sorry if this sounds obvious, can the .ass subtitles be imported so that it will work with the Blu-ray/DVD discs from Japan?

So straight out of the box, stress mark on the head fin. The fin is tilted to one side. Maybe just a QC problem...

I just noticed a stress mark on my YF-29 head fin. The whole thing felt a bit fragile to me. Definitely have to be gentle with the critical joints. Going to upload a photo later...

By the way, the whole back piece is diecast.

I am thinking perhaps the sound boaster parts would have magnets to stick itself to the diecast back piece...

This is so cool!

Did you get the order confirmation mail from HLJ? If you got it before the 1J was discontinued it's yours if not you will receive a mail from HLJ apologizing for an out of stock item. (this happened me once)

You can also check your account in HLJ, check if you order is already in process.

I am not sure whether I received the order confirmation before/after HLJ changed the status to "discontinued", and I have not received any mail saying that I won't receive the item. Hope that my order would be the last batch before they run out of stock...

I ordered the 1/60 VF-1J armored during the recent HLJ sales and now the product was said to be discontinued. So is HLJ still gonna look for it elsewhere so that they can deliver 1 to me?

I own both of the anniversary Roy and Hikaru. Both are OK.

Don't know about the VF-0....

As soon as I saw the news in the "Scoopda" thread about the green 27, my FIRST thought was "oooooh, man, David's gonna be TICKED."

I'd be up for one as well if the price was kept below about 130% of the original (I've never tried to get an exclusive before so I don't even know if that's possible).

If I'm not wrong, the ad stated the green one will be sold for 16800 yen and the stand for 2079 yen....

does the first year anniversary VF-1S Roy Fokker and Hikaru have the same problem?

Both of my Anniversary Focker and Hikaru are perfectly fine, with smooth pins

I think they did change the shouder pins but the rest of the planes and the S&S parts still the same as the first batch V2s...

Alto looks like a female to me...

Would love to join you guys but sorry I am busy this weekend

And the concert tickets not cheap... considering the venue...

Wolfx, ikhii and I would be making a trip down to Singapore this weekend for the AFA 2009. We are meeting up with some fellow members in Singapore. If you like join us please pm me or wolfx. Thanks

I presume you are from Malaysia? Are you guys going to stay overnight?

Would be awesome if you can make Ozma fight Alto!

well, i am accepting an offer for a job that will pay me many times more of what I'm getting in Msia.. enough to fund my VF purchases

as for the Mac Con... I will be in Sydney... don't think I will have the chance to travel up to GC... maybe I'll wait till the next one when it will be in Sydney!

Hey guys,

I am planning to return to Sydney from Msia probably next year. Not sure how many Mac fans are there in Sydney? Anyway does anyone know where to get cheap VFs in Sydney? In Msia I can get cheap deals easily... sad that I have to leave the country soon...

I suspect the VF-27 wings will be floppy like my Yamato Nora... with that folding mechanism...

I attempted to perform "surgery" on my SV-51 Nora the other day as well.. to fix the loose rear flap wing... it actually made things worse as I didn't open the pieces using proper tools (was just using a small screwdriver) causing like marks on the lines... fortunately they are hidden behind the wings most of the time... the good thing is now in battroid mode the wings remain in place instead of dropping down...

THAT is realistic indeed

Those live action clips are awesome. Makes me think that a live action Macross movie could really work, which something I never thought possible before......Just don't let Michael Bay direct though!

Also, I gotta echo what everybody else is saying.............all this effort just for a frickin' Pachinko game!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh.........just seems such a waste to me.

Graham

Even though the clips are cool, I still find it a bit fake... like the law of physics does not apply in the scene... realistic wise also a lot inferior than Transformers...

Live-action promotion clips for Macross Pachinko?

Are these only available in HK? Or will be sold by other suppliers as well? i.e. HLJ, Overdrive etc...
