I just went through completed options for VF-1 DX's. Holy crap, people actually pay those silly eBay prices!!!

I am always surprised by this. I list my auctions at fair and sometimes lower value and they just sit with no bidders.

The VT and VF-1D need to be released like NOW!!! Seriously whats the hold up?

I haven't vowed to never buy from NY again, I just make every effort not to where it makes sense.

That's where i'm at.

I've paid for these parts 14 months ago and still have not received these parts. My last order with them. I haven't got anymore pre-orders with them and i don't plan on getting any more. This is outrageous. I want to preorder the dancougar Black Wing SOC but i think i'll just wait till release and try to get one off of Mandarake or Jungle.

I want to say that's exactly what you should expect using the included stand adapters with any of the Yamato/Arcadia VF-19/YF-19 molds.  They are insanely unbalanced, with a ton of weight located far behind the mount.

I know Yeti made a few adapters that clip around the backplate for a sturdier connection, so I don't know if you might have used one of them.

Either way though, that's very disconcerting.  Any chance you can just screw the peg directly back into the mount?

No i don't have a yeti stand and not likely to unless he opens up again. As for screwing the peg, i'm not sure how to do that. You can't come in from underneath. The peg is hollow so maybe can go in through the top but you'd have to use a really small screw. So small that i doubt it would hold the weight. My hope is there someone who made a shapeways replacement for that piece.

So I’ve had my Arcadia YF-19 on the Arcadia clear stand since whenever the stand was released. The other day I took it off to wish around. I went to put it back on the stand and I couldn’t get it to balence. I finally got it to a satisfactory spot and then the call fell off the stand. Looking at it I see the peg has sheared off from the stand. So beware guys.

Oh wow. I was expecting 25000 yen for the normal version.

Finally! Been waiting a long time for this one.

Honestly anyone know why this is taking so long? Seems to me they don't have enough to match the preorders they took. 

What do you guys do to keep the canopy from getting scratched in batteries mode.

Around 5:00PM on June 6, 2019 I ordered Bandai DX Strike Parts from NY. Those parts were released in December of that year. 8 months later or more than 3 months after the SECOND release of those parts... I'm still waiting.

Same here. Even after upgrading the shipping.

Oh man did you order a bunch of fast packs or just one or two?

Just one.

They still haven't shipped mine. I paid the ransom almost 2 weeks ago.

Speaking of SOC, I wonder why Bandai didn't release a 2202 Andromeda? Seems like that would have sold really well.

This annoyed me. I was waiting for the andromeda since it's like impossible to get the old one. They even released the gamilas ship.

I got an ex-gokin Garland for 24000 yen. I patting myself on the back for scoring a great deal on a new garland. Then the invoice came in. The shipping is over 10000yen EMS. Id this correct? Anyone else who bought the ex gokin? If so how much did you pay for shipping?

Is the color right on Black Wing? The blue doesn't seem right.

Any new developments in the KO scene. I lost track of the news. Anything new announced.

I just did the same thing. I sent in a ticket to change shipping. They responded in an hour and now it’s set to ship. 

Yes! Finally! I love Tron.

Awesome photo. You are a lot braver than me. My OD is cringing at the valk sitting in dirt.

I was up at 2 AM during the initial PO frenzy and struck out everywhere like most.  I was content with waiting to pick it up at release but bit the bullet and put down the $57 deposit at Mykombini this morning just in case.  I don't collect much in 1/48 but the VF-1S (Roy) is my favorite Valk and the one I was waiting for when the DX line started - plus it will look great with my Yamato 1/48 VF-1J Stealth. 

You got to put a deposit? I had to pay all up front.

I still haven't had a response asking to upgrade my shipping and my SSP are still in prep in process. Live chat is nice but they just say to open a ticket. 

I stand corrected. I got my order numbers mixed up. The 0D is what shipped not my SSPs. So they ignored my request. Grrrrrrr.

The only STO Eaglemoss I have is the Ent-F and I feel like the combination of white and black paint makes all of the models look really sloppy.  I'm looking at the Gagarin there and I feel the same way, that black paint just looks bad.  There's just something about it that doesn't work for me.

I agree. I actually don't like them using any bold or bright colours on fed ships like the red on shenzhou. It doesn't jive with me on a federation design.

This has been precisely my concern with them, especially when they pulled the "we need your funds now" on the delayed Arcadia VF-0D toy. My sensitivity toward a store's customer service becomes heightened when they demand up front payment, like they do on more and more toys, and then fail to deliver after the toy has been out FOR MONTHS. Something fishy is going on over there. I'm 100% done doing business with them once my remaining orders come through, or they go out of business, whichever comes first.

The 0D is my last item from them. It feels good to be free. Over the last 10 years I’ve  Always had over 2 pages of active orders consistently.  This is the result of bad customer service.

Wow! They went straight to 35000 yen without any increments.
