GobotFool Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 The improved 1S has already been released I had this on pre-order with tam and last I checked he doesn't have any in stock yet. <_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draykov Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 (edited) The improved 1S has already been released I had this on pre-order with tam and last I checked he doesn't have any in stock yet. <_< I'm gonna assume that if BA is correct on that, then it just takes awhile for guys like Tam, Kevin and Will to get their stuff from their overseas distributors. Edit: According to Recon (in this thread), the reissues have arrived in Singapore. Edited November 16, 2003 by Draykov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hmmmm Twin moons still has yet to get in its shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinmoons Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Folks, please keep in mind that just because it was released overseas doesn't mean they'll magically teleport themselves to us!! It has to go through this process: Yamato Factory --> Overseas supplier --> shipment preparation --> Us --> charging cards for pre-orders --> Macross fans If the supplier is far from the factory, it takes a few days before they get their shipments. Then we have to prepare the shipments. Most shipments include multiple items so that we can get a decent shipping price. Sometimes we may have to wait a day or two so that other items are releases so that they can be shipped together. Then there is the waiting time for our shipment to arrive. Sometimes it can take just a few days for stuff sitting in customs. With all that said, a little delay in one step can sometimes cause a chain effect. So with that info out of the way, the official word that I've heard is that the VF-1S Roys, the VF-1A Hikarus and the VF-1J Hikarus are to be released overseas on November 22nd. So we should get them by around the end of November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nani?! Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 The re-release vf-1s has improvements? Does anyone know what improvements are to be made? Info appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 The re-release vf-1s has improvements?Does anyone know what improvements are to be made? Info appreciated Thanks The same found in the new 1S Hikaru. Better flaps, less obvious face plate seem, better radon cover. Easier to open front landing gear. and Hopefully few to no QC issues. Also the seat's head rest is being altered to have a deeper depression for the head, which looks really dumb IMHO. The pilot is now made out of a rubbery substance not the hard ABS plastic, so it has a softer more natural look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
