sreichma Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hey team, I have a question. Has anyone or does anyone see a long term risk of keeping the 25s in fighter mode with the armor parts on, mainly the bar that keeps the two legs tight together in the back. Since it naturally wants to open the legs up a little with the armor parts on, I was wondering if the stress caused by the bar pulling them in over a long time could damage it. I know it sounds picky but with how rare and expensive the S is without a reissue yet, I want to be safe. Any thoughts? I know we have some great tech people on here.

On my copy there is not really stress on the legs. The bar just prevents that the gun-pod doesn't falls out. My VF-25S holds together without the part but can't hold the gun-pod. That said I haven't displayed my Armored Messiah in Fighter-Mode (too big for my display cabinet) for a longer period of time. However I'm interested if anyone knows something about that topic.

Mizicke5273 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Looking forward to getting the RVF and G super parts. I even picked up a second RVF when HLJ had them in stock a few weeks back. Though, I am really hoping they rerelease the G, other wise the super parts will be sitting in the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I got my shipping notice @ around 1:00 am this morning, it is also claiming wed delivery. I always tend to have my packaged not arrive on the day promised, but I will remain optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The last two things I've had shipped Monday that said they would arrive Wednesday actually arrived on Wednesday. The tracking website couldn't even keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzmaLee74 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 One thing though is that FedEx delivers pretty early for these international priority shipments. Around 9am or so. I'm glad I'm around when they do so since I work nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Uh oh I couldn't pay for my pre-order on time and was waiting today to get one and now they are out of stock? Help!! Might keep an eye on mdrake.. There was 2 last time I checked, 8000 and 9000 yen respectively. Other than NY, yahoo auctions and ebay (saw one for $150ish) I can't think of anyone else with it in stock at this time. Maybe someone here might have an extra set. Good luck.

s001 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Eh? It doesn't open. It just rotates. Oooh. So It's like the vf-11's cockpit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I suppose so. Then again, wouldn't every VF's cockpit interior rotate so that the pilot is in an upright position? I'm not entirely sure. Just basing off logic. Since the cockpit section usually goes vertical, can't have the pilot "facing" up or down.

Is there a specific way to search for them on Mandarake? In the past I tried lookin for Macross Valks without much succes due to their search engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreichma Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I hope Bandai can do a DX VF-1 some time, Yamato just doesn't have the articulation the DX toys have. Don't get me wrong, they've done a great job, but there's only so many poses you can have with your battroid standing on an angle with the gun draped across his chest or pointing to in the air. Posing Yamato VF-1's isn't anywhere close to posing a DX. Just saw the thread for DX VF-1 speculation, my bad. Didn't want to clutter up this thread.

skullmilitia Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Eh, they both have fairly similar articulation. I've gotten the same poses. My only complaint in Yamato/Arcadia Is more Ankle tilt for ger. That said, I'd like more hands too. DX got the fun there. Everyone suffers from no waist though!

Reïvaj Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Oooh. So It's like the vf-11's cockpit? It's more like the Y/VF-19. I suppose so. Then again, wouldn't every VF's cockpit interior rotate so that the pilot is in an upright position? I'm not entirely sure. Just basing off logic. Since the cockpit section usually goes vertical, can't have the pilot "facing" up or down. Yes, the cockpit interior always rotates, except in those cases of aircraft cabins which are maintained horizontal, such as the VF-4 and VF-17.

Gakken85 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think the Yamato's have about the same articulation for the mold and the design. The frontier valks have a lot of weird parts to add articulation because of the transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm getting sick of NY. No replies to my emails whatsoever in the past 6 months and they always ship my items almost a week after release. If only there were alternatives that offer the same prices...

Scream Man Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 i had the same issue with NY not replying to my emails, though they claim they did. I ended up just ringing them, they have great phone service (In english no less) and the call doesnt last long so it's only a couple of bucks. i say try that.

Gakken85 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 NY sucks. I go through a proxy buyer. It costs a little more, but they are all class and pack things like super pros. Plus I can throw in Yahoo Japan auctions and such. I don't miss NY at all haha. Plus it'll be up on Mana in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
