I like these schemes

Those are awesome. I'd buy both of those.

So i guess there hasn't been any movement on this issue?

I loved the old version with the black rubber tips and the new ones are garbage. They have taken the paint off my yamato valks (strangely the bandai ones seem unaffected). The new ones also have the tenancy to crack like a poster above stated. Never had that problem with the old versions. The worse thing is how the flightpose people don't acknowledge there is a problem and try to work on a solution. It would be an awesome product if they could fix these issues. Sure beats paying $80 for the yamato stand.

I bought an Alto YF-29 from them, and it was a good experience. What I'm curious about is people who've bought things from them that have come defective. How are they at replacing the whole item or getting parts a la the Yamato exploding shoulders?

My vf-171ex came from them missing a chest cannon. They will only replace it if i ship it back to them which will cost me $90(my post office's fault, not their's) for some reason. It's hardly worth paying another $90 to get a replacement or my money back. I'm probably going to have to throw it on ebay and hope to try and recoup some of my money lost on it. Sucks.

Amiami has completely gone down the crapper. My 171 had a missing piece as well and wanted to refund me $3... I told them to go screw themselves and to give me a refund. I was gonna have to pay out of pocket for shipping it back so you're bound to loose some money here Fortunately a member on the forums was kind enough to send me the piece as he didnt care much for it.

What piece were you missing? My 171 came with one of the chest guns missing. Nippon-yassen wants me to ship it back to them at my cost which is like $90. Its hardly worth it so I'm hooped. Hopefully one day I can find a replacement gun I can attach to it.

pmed.

Can you put me down for 2 basic sets as well.

I'll take a set or two dependng on how much it will cost to ship to canada.

Got home from my trip to Rome and was finally able to open my vf-171. Joy quickly became sadness. It seems one the "nipple" pieces is missing from vf-171. I hope nippon-yasen can do something for me. This sucks.

I'm hoping they decide to milk the mold and give us a cannon fodder vf-25. I saw a custom paint job of one. It looked hot.

Hmmm not the way I expected this color scheme to look on the vf-29. It should have the skull on the tail fins at least. Probably still get it though.

CD JAPAN has YF-29 in case anyone is still looking.

As mentioned before, some Hong Kong vendors are "offered" an order list from an import distributor.

It turns out that the distributor cannot delivery ANY units (the distributor shamelessly explained that there is a license problem for Macross - damn, old news is so exciting), so every end-client pre-ordered from these vendors are screwed.

So in future, I would never order Macross stuffs from Hong Kong shops again, online or otherwise.

<sign> Yes i have read the thread and i know everything you have stated already. I was just sharing my experience. The only thing i'm asking if people are still getting orders filled from nippon-yasen as they still list the product available. <sign>

Anyway i place another order in a "what the hey" moment. It went through. we'll see if i get it.

Well it looks like dendenhobby didn't get enough to fill my 2 i preordered. I preordered them within an hour of them putting up their ebay store listing. I'm guessing not too many people will get their orders filled from dendenhobby. Luckily i didn't trust him and went through nippon-yasan. They are being shipped as we speak. I noticed their website is still listing the 171 as available? Anyone manage to get an order filled recently?

Prices lowered.

Hi, getting rid of some clutter to make way for new stuff. I'll probably be adding to this thread in the weeks to come. I think i'm going to limit this to Canada and US only. From my experiences shipping to any other country is ridiculously expensive and not worth it for the buyer. Msg me with your address for a shipping quote. I can only ship through Canada Post. I only accept Paypal.

It's in good shape with the os reloaded. Unfortunately with this model Dell used a finish that looked nice and glossy but only last for about 2 minutes after you take it out of the box. Although it's been treated well the top lid has a few scuffs and nicks. It's hard to see in the pics but they're there. Doesn't affect the look that much but i just want to make sure you are aware so there are no surprises for the buyer.

There is no way they are getting 75 of them. They won't break double digits.

Hobby search is out now too.

The part that chaps my rear is that I DID pre-order it. I then had the contact HLJ directly to find out why I hadn't gotten any updates after release. They said they couldn't fill their pre-orders. So I was curious if Yamato was going to fill the all pre-orders or not. Sounds like a no. Bah. Humbug.

Seriously? HLJ didn't get enough to fill preorders? I have a feeling that this is a sign of things to come. I hope i get my vf-1a cavalier now. I wasn' t even going to preorder it since yamato valkyries don't sell out their preorders. I'm glad i did now.

Thats pretty much how things seem to be going now. Sad.

Oh i thought these were 1/60 scale. Yeah these are the 1/72 scale. I already have these.

I'm getting really annoyed with this. I'm constantly looking at this thread and i always seem to miss these preorder windows. Very frustrating.

Which yf-21 release? Stand or no stand?
