DX Chogokin VF-171 Cannon Fodder

[Mommar]

That's a nice looking box. Too bad they don't have it posed in Gerwalk too as the 171 and the toy itself look great and play great in that mode.

So is NY shipping now?

[NightCastle]

I haven't received an e-mail from them about shipping yet. So, I would suppose not.

[Benbot]

Uhg, screw it. I just sent payment. I have no self control. It's too beautiful a design to pass up! Plus it will probably be the last new Macross mold made for a long time...until the next inevitable series, anyway. Oh, and the YF-30. Forgot about that...

Is that the first time we've ever really had a good idea what the flight-suit for a non-EX VF-171 looks like?

PS---only 3 "no steps" on the wings? That shouldn't be hard to remove on the undersides.

[sil80jdm]

That valk is so beautiful I really hope I can grab one from hlj

this lineart for it has been floating around for a while.

[David Hingtgen]

I was mainly thinking about colors---we rarely even got helmet shots in the series IIRC. Who knew they had blue boots?

[Chronocidal]

So wait. They put the no step warnings on the leading edge... and left the entire trailing edge control surfaces unmarked?

Where's that facepalm smiley we keep needing.

The trailing edge does have "No Step" markings. It's just in gray. If you look closely, you'll see it's on both the top and underside of the wings as well.

[Graham]

That is a pretty bird. Can't wait for mine to get here, but still no shipping notice from NY or CD-Japan

The CF VF-171 definitely looks better without armour IMO.

I was about to lose my pre-order from NY. With the shipping notice delay, it gave me the extra days to complete payment.

Glad I did not skip this bird, looks so nice in any mode.

[raptormesh]

Cancelled mine, focusing on Yamato for now.

Awh Bandai you never stop to amaze me.

hey, if it bugs you that much I'd be happy to take the thing off your hands free of charge. I'll even cover shipping.

No. FedEx this time because of the problems I had with LA customs with the VF 4G

[isamu-ad]

[grymg]

If I need to cancel a preorder on NY, will they just let you if you email them? Or do you have to wait until your 15 days to pay "times out"?

You are still not used to the words "sold out", "order stop"?

[zzgundam010]

missed it again for the nth time.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

[Mommar]

Man, look at the color on that thing. It positively glows.

Doesn't that mean all your pre-order from NY disappears and you on their blacklist? I wouldn't do that.

You can ask nicely via e-mail.

[miro79]

paid mine too at HLJ

I got a payment request from NY two weeks ago. They told me to pay before the 24th or I will lose my account and all previous pre-orders.

The VF-171 was not ready for shipping I guess, as I got no cancellation from them. To be safe, I paid a few minutes ago.

OK thanks guys, I ended up preordering twice for another valk, One in yen and another in USD. I wanted to see which one was cheaper months down the line. Looks like I'll have to pick now which is the best bet and cancel the other one.

NY will probably ship out their own orders first, and the rest of us who bought the higher priced releases will get shipped over time, and the bought stock from other stores make it in.
