UN Spacy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 They get stuff a month later What kind of hen house operation are they running up there in Emeryville?
royard Posted June 14, 2013 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?
neoexcaliber Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Any news from Otacute? I have a feeling Otacute will not deliver.

kyekye Posted June 15, 2013 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.
Scream Man Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Kengiu if you are hacchaka: Im a big fan sir, been reading your Figuarts reviews for some time, and shout them out on my Podcast all the time.

anubis20 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I have a feeling Otacute will not deliver. Same here but i dont wanna jump the gun and get one from someplace else.
pikashoo Posted June 15, 2013 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 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.
Loop Posted June 15, 2013 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.
mechaninac Posted June 15, 2013 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 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.
Tober Posted June 15, 2013 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.
Graham Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 So the gunpod can attach in fighter mode:-) Can we have some close up pics showing how it attaches please. Graham
Scream Man Posted June 15, 2013 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.
kyekye Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 But I chose the EMS option. Hmmm.. I don't think I had that option back then. Anyways, Good luck!~
Shukenzero Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Waaaa! Mine should be in next week. Cannot wait to complete the GODDAMN team!!!!!
OzmaLee74 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Hmmm.. I don't think I had that option back then. Anyways, Good luck!~ IIRC, the shipping options were for the USPS (Priority Mail, parcel post etc)
neoexcaliber Posted June 15, 2013 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 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?

They're additional parts that can need to be detached before transforming.
KH355hamdi Posted June 15, 2013 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.
kyekye Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Bastos naman. Wait a sec. Are you running the Hobbyfan by any chance?
zzgundam010 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I have a feeling Otacute will not deliver. Has anyone heard from Otacute lately. Their web site still says all confirmed pre-order are guaranteed.
miro79 Posted June 15, 2013 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..

Hope they will deliver, otherwise i will be without any renewal.. I guess you like the vf-25f more than the ref-25. I would choice HLJ over Otacute always.
Loop Posted June 16, 2013 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.

Duymon Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 It's already monday in Japan and Otacute hasn't sent any word or invoice. Ruh Roh O_O
