  1. I'm scared of transforming this toy now and accidentally mishandling the antenna, specially since a lot of it requires to handle the plane upside down.
  2. Holy crap! The ball joints attaching the legs to the pelvis are super tight. I can’t even pose them without moving the metal swing bars by accident.
  3. Thanks, good to know.
  4. I got my YF-21 today from Yoyakunow and am happy to report the antenna was straight as an arrow. A couple of questions though, was the YF-21 suppose to come in the brown P-Bandai shipper box? Also, I asked Yoyakunow to take a picture of the antenna before shipping it to me to verify it was good but I noticed the box I received had the big round clear tape sealing both ends of the box. I always thought the tape was something Bandai puts on so was expecting the box to be unsealed already.
  5. I have an order from Yoyakunow still pending too. They’re all waiting for their shipment from Tamashii Nation according to the email I got from them.
  6. WOW, now I’m really curious to see what condition you got your VT-1 in.
  7. I'm fine with this, My wallet needs a break from the VT-1 and YF-21 splurge.
  8. I'm surprised no one has capitalized on the bent antenna yet and created 3D printed replacement/spare parts.
  9. No, unfortunately my invoice for the shipping came and was paid for on Friday late afternoon in their time. Since they are closed on weekends, I'm probably gonna get mine sometime next week. But I'll definitely keep everyone posted. On a side note, I initially ordered the DX VT-1 from them and added the DX YF-21 a couple days later. My VT-1 wasn't ready to be shipped yet and I asked them if it was cheaper to ship both items together or separate through DHL and was told it was cheaper to do it separately. I don't know if this is true though.
  10. Yeah, I was afraid they were pulling something shady like sending the same pictures to everyone when I saw that yours came with the bent antenna even though they sent you pictures.
  11. Its crazy how much different the HMR color is. Its like Bandai were trying to get rid of all their extra brown paint when they release the HMR version.
  12. I got sent these photos from Yoyakunow yesterday. I'm wondering if these are the same photos they sent you?
  13. I'm curious, why are playing cards taxed more than toys and models?
  14. Have you similar experience with UPS or DHL?
  15. How was the packaging? I ordered the DX VT-1 recently and is my first time dealing with Yoyakunow.
  16. I'm okay with the parts-forming. IMO the newer Transformers, specially the combiners, look better with the extra parts. This is going to be more of a display piece and probably wouldn't be transformed on a daily basis. Most of us as okay with the chest fillers, hinge bars, and exchangeable hands on the recent VF-1s so I don't think its a too big of a deal if they can give us something that looks good and sturdy.
  17. I want to get the Ostrich but I'm not sure where's the best place to buy them now. I've been mostly buying through eBay lately. I haven't bought from an overseas online retailer since pre pandemic, and that was usually through Nippon Yassan, I didn't even know about the fraud that took place with NY till recently. Is Yokakunow popular to use now? I was checking out Luna Park but I don't get why they have a regular store and a "premium" store.
  18. I made the mistake of storing my Yamato boxes in a storage unit in our parking garage, sealed up in a container like you have there. Moisture still got to them and ruined all the boxes.
  19. Since it'll be on Disney, it would be amazing if Disney produced the dubs themselves like they did with the Studio Ghibli stuff.
  20. Thanks for the info. It looks like I have the Renewal version. Based on the recent posts on this thread, is it safe to assume the Revival versions are also a floppy mess?
  21. Forgive me if this has been answered before, but is there a difference between the Revival version and the Renewal version? I bought a VF-25 Micheal a long time ago and it became a floppy mess and I swore I'd never buy another Frontier Chogokin but these Revival versions got me curious. I don't even know if I have the original or the Renewal version, is there a way to tell?
  22. I've been out of the loop for a while. I thought Big West and Harmony Gold were good with each other now and were okay with selling Macross here in the U.S., hence the Tamashi Nations store on Amazon. But how come they only have Plus, Zero, Frontier, and Delta items available? They have no plans to distribute the VF-1s on Amazon?
  23. I don't want to jinx it, but I'm liking Strange New World so far. It reminds me of the older Star Trek series where each episode is it's own standalone story. I hope they keep it this way.
  24. I wish the TV series was available on digital release. I'd like to have this show in my iTunes collection.
