royard Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 What kind of hen house operation are they running up there in Emeryville? I'm really curious--what made you so confident that hobbyfan can fills its RVF-25 orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Any news from Otacute? I have a feeling Otacute will not deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyekye Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 HobbyFan is in Emeryville? Last time I checked, they had a shipping station in California, but they get their product from HK with cheap/slow mail. So takes about 4-6 weeks for them to get it + shipping to you (another 1-2 weeks) I stopped using them a while ago when they failed to fulfill my pre-orders. Only go back once in a while to check rare garage kit copy reissues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikashoo Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Same here but i dont wanna jump the gun and get one from someplace else. For those who have pre-ordered renewals from Otacute before, when do they usually send out their invoices in relation to release day?

neoexcaliber Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Received my unit this morning. I'll have to take a closer look at the toy after I get some work done. Please excuse the camera flash. My camera is old and my room is kinda dim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I don't think I will get mine until next week. I did get the preparation e-mail at 06/13/13 7:52 PM PST, but they never got it shipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Keeping my fingers crossed that Hobbyfan will be able to fulfill all the preorders they took for the RVF, but not expecting much... going to keep my eyes open for additional stock elsewhere, just in case.

neoexcaliber Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 This toy looks really good in person. I was worried the green would look horrible like Ang Lee's Hulk but it's a really nice shade of green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 For those who have pre-ordered renewals from Otacute before, when do they usually send out their invoices in relation to release day? About the same time as the others. It's the weekend in Japan now and I don't think Otacute operate over it. HLJ have started processing orders, I don't know if Hobby Search, CDJapan or Amiami have.

Scream Man Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Those review pics showed the ad on clip, i assume it connects onto the same arm as the one on the 25G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoexcaliber Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) So the gunpod can attach in fighter mode:-) Can we have some close up pics showing how it attaches please. Graham It's a 2-piece adapter that slots into the plane. It's a real pain to get the gunpod locked into place when the plane is on the stand though. It keeps popping off so I tend to leave it lying on the stand instead of being attached to the plane. It's a lot like the fold booster attachment for the YF-19/22.

Scyla Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Meh about the attachment points. The strut that goes though the arms on the VF-25G works so well. The elint-fin seems to block the free space between the lower arms so maybe that was not an option. It is still a disappointment but Luca never had a gun-pod (there was this one episode where he was rescued by Alto but that one could be floating inside the Vajra for ages ) so I will display him without the pod. Can the attachment parts be stored in the other two modes somewhere on the Valkyrie or are they extra parts that float around and gone missing after a while?

KH355hamdi Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Since there is an extra seat maybe someone could make a passenger for each VF-25. For example: 1. Ranka in Kira costume for VF-25S 2. Sheryl in her concert costume for VF-25F 3. Klan in her normal form and suit for VF-25G 4. Nanase in school costume for RVF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miro79 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Has anyone heard from Otacute lately. Their web site still says all confirmed pre-order are guaranteed. I'm a little worried too.. I cancelled my HLJ RVF preorder in favor of my VF-25F preorder i have with Otacute. Hope they will deliver, otherwise i will be without any renewal..

Loop Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 If I would have been lucky enough to get one via HLJ, I would have kept it also. I missed most of these on HLJ, the only one I could secure there was the VF-27 Renewal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
