Strangely i have yet to come across a company that makes a decent legoiss armo fighter that would make me go wow even though cms, evolution toys and toynami has produced their own versions. Frankly saying, i hope bandai, arcadia or fexthobby, would try making a detailed transformable legoiss armo fighter as this has being a missing piece in my collection

Hi noel, mr color has only clear blue but not clear smoke. You can try tamiya which has both clear smoke and clear blue for the visor mod
-
Hey noel, i just received the notification today and i believe that it is a still in progress thing as im not sure how many units they are allocated by bandai
-
Hi guys Just received a confirmation from hlj that they are cancelling my YF-19 preorder. I realised that actually i made a mistake in cancelling the 2nd order that has a lower serial number that is in the 3xxx series which resulted in hlj cancelling my order that has a serial number which ends with 4xxx. But all is well and good as i still have a confirmed order with amiami
-
Thanks for the link f360. Manage to grab one from hlj at retail price even though im late to the party. Hopefully, i can have the same luck with levatine when its released
-
Hey noel, From what i understand from the posts he made, the paint on the interior was removed with mr hobby thinner and airbrushed with smoke and clear blue. Not sure if he sanded the markings off as he did not mentioned any of it being done

Some minor tweaks done to the helm visor by a guy in toysdaily

11984479. Received notification but order not yet cancelled
-
I received the same notification from hlj even though i place an order at around 5pm when it was opened. Anyways am glad i still got one reserved with ami ami just in case hlj deal doesnt fall through. I really hope this is not the precedence of things to come whereby we need to order from multiple sources just to secure a piece for future orders
-
With the YF-19 in the bag, who hopes that bandai will work their magic on a YF-21? Or even a VF-11b? I for one am keeping fingers and toes crossed
-
Mighty tempting to get a second piece with the funds from the 31a, even though i had one already Speaking of arad VF-31S, big question is whether to get the super packs or the armor packs that is in the movie
-
Holy cow. One for each mode and one for spare?
-
Ordered 1 set of YF-19 at hlj and amiami but only got confirmation email from amiami
-
Whats your feel about the groin piece @no3Ljm as compared to the original thunder hammer custom? I think fext interpretation is cool on its own as the groin piece provides protection for the nose cone area but it could be slimmer and shorter
-
Looking good in 1/60 scale too

With such supply issues and QC issues abound, im better off without a 31A. Frankly saying, im already contended with a 31 kai being one of the limited items i manage to grab. The question is why bandai came out short in terms of orders and why did they try something fancy like matt coating the plastic when all releases have being plastics with paint application
-
They may or may not release another variant of the 31A unless market forces have demostrated a great demand for it, which is true in this case cos we have being NYed badly. Bandai have demostrated in the past to have not release variants of a particular release for e.g. YF-30
-
True. I always inspect my toys for any production defects or missing parts whether its a spare or display piece cos manufacturing is so unreliable nowadays
-
Correct me if im wrong, but i guess the defects that we have being seeing are probably due to the matt coat treatment that was given to the kairos cos regular molded plastics have a shinny greasy surface due to the mold release agent
-
Usually i will try to order from amiami or hlj but in rgds to exclusives, it seems that only NY is able to get their hands on them. Just checking with those who got their TWE VF-31A from NY, did it come in a TWE box cos mine did not. This kinda to lead to suspect they may have gotten their stocks through the backdoor or other retailers
-
You see the freckles and shiny part on the right and left wing canard near the leg area. Its not obvious when viewed at a distance but if you look at the area closely, you will see a slightly hint of the defects
-
Hi guys. Just a headsup, im selling my kairos to whoever is keen as i found some manufacturing defects which to some, it maybe insignificant but to me its unacceptable. Attached pics of the irregularities i found on thewing canards. Item is listed in the sales thread
-

Epic. If i was living near ya, i would be sending all my premium valks to you to weather them up. Truly enjoy the subtle touches you put on your models to bring them to a whole new level -
Yeah i saw it too. Its a badass paint scheme. If messer was alive, this maybe his alternate variant in the movie
