TCracker Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm...the lack of decaling still stumps me. I believe more decals could have enhanced the looks of the valk, but then again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugundamII Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm holding off until a detailed video/pic review. To anyone who has one: - How well do the armor pieces hold together? Do they fall off, simply by looking at them, like Luca/Michel Fast/Super packs? - Is the figure a sloppy, or can you pose it with armor? Does it require a stand for any and all poses, like Michel? - Are the head lasers straight/made out of solid plastic? - Any other improvements? fall off thats an understatement. You cant even get them on since they keep falling off. I had to mod mine of course im talking about the fast packs. My relative is back in hong kong so now I can take advantage of cheaper prices and have it shipped instead of some of those hong kong stores that have a presence on ebay. You know who im talking about who inflates the prices by about 200% Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am terribly excited now. I didn't expect this to be out this soon. Did you guys check your emails from Anime-Export on the update on the shipping cost? The 2,800 Yen I had originally paid during the pre-order wasn't enough to cover the EMS shipment and so they sent me a notification on this. However, the payment link they gave me billed the entire total of the toy Fortunately, the request they gave me directly through Paypal was the correct amount. I notified them on this error and Erika, the customer service lady kindly noted that mine was the first to ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping there wouldn't be an extra charge to cover for EMS shipping, but I figured there might be after checking the item page on their website and reading the snippet on there about it being too heavy to ship via SAL. I haven't gotten the e-mail yet, but I suppose I can expect one shortly. Congrats on being #1! Now I just have to decide whether or not the new Alto DX set is worth pre-order. I'm leaning towards skipping it and hoping for an eventual regular color boxset. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be my first DX too, and my first non-Revoltech Macross toy, actually. I currently only own a VF-1J Revoltech. Revoltechs are pretty awesome little buggers. I was getting antsy waiting for this thing, so I ordered a Yamato SV-51 Nora from Overdrive the other day too. I really wanted to order a VF-1S as well, but the thread about people's shoulders breaking scared me off. Then I remembered that I have a Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1S Strike Battroid kit that I purchased years ago, so I started building that yesterday after years of being on modeling hiatus... but I digress.

We are building a new website as the current one needs to retire. Unfortunately Bandai never tell us the weight and most of the time our guess are correct but this time the VF-25S its huge!

macrossnake Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Who did you order from? Vostok 7 I order it from Amazon jp (13,692 yen), ship to my jp address then use/pay 'Tenso.com' to ship it to Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) I order it from Amazon jp (13,692 yen), ship to my jp address then use/pay 'Tenso.com' to ship it to Canada! I really need to try a service like that sometime. I was browsing on Tenso's website, and I tried working out the cost of this thing if I had gone through this route. It's 13,692 yen shipped from Amazon, which is ~5,650 yen off retail. Assuming it's 2 kg (the DX Luca is 1.2 kg, as a reference), that equates to a S&H fee of 4,980 yen. In the end you're still getting the thing shipped for under its retail price. It seems there should be some kind of additional service fee, but I didn't see it while browsing the site.

JPY1000 for up to 1kg, JPY1500 up to 3kg etc. what i didn't manage to find info on is how they handle pre-order items. or maybe it's just as simple as they wait for something to arrive at their warehouse before they start processing it.
