Surprised no one posted this here yet (or if they did and I missed it, forgive me). Review. http://hima-toy.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2012/06/dx_vf-171ex---e.html

AE is solid. My 25G is also ordered through them. I'm not worried at all.
-
They will be. Just like the previous armour and super parts releases.
-
lol. I totally didn't read that you already bought the assembled version before I posted. Congrats man. Welcome to the club! As for people touching your SDF-1... I don't let anyone touch mine. My GF has joked about messing with my Macross toys, but a few months ago she broke my Alternity Starscream, and ever since then she's learned not to touch the high end toys.
-
I'll can tell everyone exactly how the hands work... once I have it in my own hands.
-
Unless you are a customizer, I would avoid the kit. It was made for those looking to personalize the crap out of it. The SDF-1 is amazing. You will not be disappoInted. Just buy it.
-
Yes. Awesome
-
Eh. Don't really care. Yeah, would prefer it to be at least like the Yamato 17D, but whatever. Still keeping my order. On the bright side, for those who think this is a deal breaker, it makes me giggle when reading the complaints. Silver lining, amiright?!?
-
Yeah that's how I remember it. If Yamato ever gets the license, it will be a long time.
-
Yeah, I thought it was nothing out of the ordinary. The original preorders sold out in a blink of an eye almost everywhere. Chances are websites were being careful and put up very small numbers. Now that it's only a week or so from release, chances are they have actual stock confirmation. I wouldn't be surprised if Amiami and other major sites start opening up orders again closer to, or upon, release date. It happened with the YF-29 reissue. If NY has more preorders open, I figure they are confident they can fill more orders by now. They did lower the price by five or six bucks though. Used to be like $207 or something.
-
Me too. but I always intended on keeping both. Mwahahaha! The 171 is one of the last must-have valks for me. That, and the Elint. Still need one of those badboys.

Other people have complained about that at HLJ. A preorder there doesn't seem to be absolutely guaranteed once it comes in stock. People have complained the order would disappear out of their accounts, or go "discontinued." With Amiami, if you have a preorder, and the stock comes in as planned, you are guaranteed the order. It can sit in your POL for the entire month while your other preorders come in and you never have to worry about it, because it is considered yours unless you don't pay. HLJ, on the other hand, when it comes to rare items, like some of Bandai's other lines, people have complained the order disappears. So you pretty much have to watch on release day for the item to be in your account, then tell them to ship it immediately, or else risk losing it in their bizzare system. It hasn't happened to everyone, but I have heard complaints. Usually happens more for rare items, or items that sell out quickly. It's almost as if the system took one too many preorders. eg: They put up 200 for preorder, all the preorders sell out, but really, it was more like 190, so the first 190 to press "ship now" get it, the other 10, even though they had preorders, are out of luck. I just don't think it was ever as accurate as other web site systems. If this new system fixes those problems, I wouldn't mind moving more business back to HLJ since they do have that great EMS discount. EDIT: I'm not trying to make people more paranoid than they already are. I'm just relaying what I've heard from other people. This has never actually happened to me, but then, I have never really ordered a rare or small stock item from HLJ.

I love the funky fighter mode. It will be nice to have something so different looking on the shelf.
-
Really? Wow I needed to rewatch frontier. I don't remember that at all. Haha
-
I love how the whole package looks. I really do like the cannon and the missle pack. I love how it's not symetrical and sort of like a patchwork of other bots. Definitely something that looks like some guys thought, "Well, we'll take this valk, throw whatever we got on it and see how it works."
-
From their website: - If you want to pay later: Choose the method of payment PRE-ORDERS ONLY Did you choose the right option? I don't know why that site offers both the pay now or pay later options. It seems to confuse people, despite their best intentions to warn people. It would be better if they just chose one option and stick with it.
-
Thanks! Yeah for sure. My dad was definitely the one that bought me all my favorite stuff as a kid. Off the top of my head, I can remember he got me Metroplex, Ultra Magnus, and the GI Joe Rolling Thunder. My dad also understood that I wasn't one of these kids that always asked for stuff. I rarely asked for anything, but when I did, it usually meant I had given it a lot of thought, and kept my grades up.
-
Yeah, my parents would have said no for sure. Well, my mom. My dad would have bought me one. He bought me my first valkyrie back in the day. It was the Jetfire repaint of the old VF-1S. Still one of my favorite shopping moments ever with my dad. I asked him for it, and after he bought it, he asked, "Are you SURE you want this one?" I said yes, and he then promptly threw the store receipt in the garbage and said, "Don't tell your mom how much it was."
-
I'd email them. They clearly expect more stock since they have the valk up for order again. Also check your junk mail.
-
Kicker, the bet part of your set is that SDF-1 fleet. Wow. Makes me wish I kept my WAVE SDF-1 now.
-
I haven't bought there, but I buy there all the time! lol. Seriously though, this is a great idea. Also with their 20% off EMS... awesome. This could really help on the multiple valk orders.
-
I thought for sure some turbo nerd was going to bust a nut on this one, but it's only been up a couple hours. Give it some time...

I hate UPS. Always pay mega fees as a Canadian for UPS or any other private delivery service. EMS or SAL all the way. I rarely get hit with extra duty or fees with those options. Also, UPS rarely ever leaves a delivery notice (I live in a condo), so the only way I know there's something for me is by the tracking number. Then I have to drive 40 minutes to pick up my package, vs a 5 minute drive to my nearest post office.
