Loop Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Hrmm mine said it should arrive today, but I am suspecting it will not. The tracking reads like: Estimated delivery : Wed 27/11/2013 BELLEVUE, WA US 27/11/2013 - Wednesday 04:59 Shipment exception OAKLAND, CA Held, cleared regulatory agency(s) after aircraft/truck departed 01:58 International shipment release - Import OAKLAND, CA I live on the eastside of Seattle, it should have left Issaquah WA to be delivered today. The last 3x or so Fedex packages never met the target they had on the site. Once they miss the delivery day they remove the estimated delivery date to N/A.

OzmaLee74 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 crap! Our packages must be together cuz I got the same exact thing! Im not expecting it to arrive at all today and since tomorrow's a holiday the earliest we'll get it is Friday. So much for using FedEx.....

Im not expecting it to arrive at all today and since tomorrow's a holiday the earliest we'll get it is Friday. So much for using FedEx..... The last few packages from Fedex have done this to me. I never have this problem when it gets routed through Alaska base, but they have been routing all my packages through Oakland lately. I guess I will not be giving thanks to Bandai for giving me Luca SP's and ghosts this thanksgiving It's not like I have much room anyway to break it open ASAP. It's starting to look like the collection intervention lady might show up at my house lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I just got my RVF-25 super pack w/ ghosts today. That was very fast shipping via FedEx. Just took the ghosts out for now and I really like the stands that they came with. It's really poseable for different angles and heights. Strangely enough, the ghosts have a matte finish instead of the usual glossy finish that the renewals have. Exact same boat... Looking forward to MacrossJunkie's pictures soon to tie me over... Sorry, it might be a while. I've been really busy lately and haven't even gotten around to do the super packs for the G yet. Might be a couple weeks or so before I find some time.

Mommar Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 My Super Packs arrived today as well. Haven't had time to snap some pics yet though. Sorry guys. And that matte finish is kind of cheap compared to the matte Yamcadias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Maybe that's the reason why they always do gloss then with the Bandai Macross stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Boy, the only other Super Parts I own are for the G and I only ever left it in Battroid. I've never put these on in Gerwalk... Kawamori sure didn't think about functionality in that mode. The RVF is even worse in that regard because of the giant fin on the left arm. Though all shoulder mobility is hindered anyway. I'll likely take these things back off and only leave the drones floating around the naked Valk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I was able to snap a few before the Vet arrived. Plus, somebody wanted a shot of the 25G next to the VF-1J and VF-19F so it's there too. 25's 005 by Mommar0, on Flickr 25's 002 by Mommar0, on Flickr 25's 004 by Mommar0, on Flickr 25's 005 by Mommar0, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the gloss finish that Bandai uses is also cheap compared to the gloss Yamatos IMO. @Mommar: Great pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Does that stand come with the ghosts? Think so, all of the pics I've seen have that stand (I remember seeing one picture of (3) of the black bases included in the box). -b.

Mommar Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Does that stand come with the ghosts? Actually it comes with three stands, they're miniature Gundam stands. Each one has three holes. I only used the one because it saves space and looks less cluttered. you kept the 25g non super part crotch piece on. it looks actually pretty good yeah, I didn't like the way the Super Part crotch looked.

Mommar Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well, in fighter and battroid it's functional and cool looking. If you're a Gerwalk fan... they're pretty much useless. I took them back off already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senzan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The more I look at the Renewals the more they grow on me - especially with Super parts - they don't look so much like floppy marionettes in Battroid mode.

Falcon18 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Cdjapan/NY has the RVF last I saw. The super packs though are out of stock everywhere. Might have to camp through mandarake for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barurutor Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Thanks Mommar for the pic of the blue valks together! I'd requested that sometime back. Oddly enough I prefer the glossy blue color over the more realistic matte 1J. The darker blue shade looks gorgeous as well.

close313 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I envy you guys, mine is still preparing since NY released the first extra RVF parts. I love how the color contrasts with the mint, just like how the supers makes an awesome color combo on the CF.

OzmaLee74 and I should have gotten ours yesterday, but we both got screwed by Fedex Now the target delivery date is set to N/A just like I knew they would do after missing the target.

I was going to get out all my blue valks but could not be assed I have all of them as far as I know. I have the VF-1J Max, VF-22S Max, 2x VF-19S, 3x VF-19F's, a YF-21 and the VF-25G and lets not forget the VF-1D virgin road. If I am forgetting any of the V2's I most likely have it lol.

sreichma Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The RVF-25 super parts and drones kit could be the best looking display package out there for Frontier. Glad I got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Mine shipped Monday from NY so It'll be a couple weeks for me. Got myself two sets of ghost packs Looking at the pictures, it looks like Bandai redesigned the stand connection points on the ghosts to NOT be those ugly big honkin' circular pegs?

Nope, no circular pegs. The bottom of the Ghosts are now flush. Oh, you can also unplug the little red-tipped transmitter if you want to as well.

Mommar Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I don't know about others but the plastic fitting along the seams isn't great on my drones. There are more than a few gaps, especially on the thin tail at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
