KH355hamdi Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Finally got shipping notification from N-Y. Now what the heck is Special Services Mail...? It is going to be specially flown by one of the VF for quicker delivery. Lol. I believe it is going to be flown by either the following special service method: - Registered Mail - Insured Mail - Advice of Delivery - Express Mail http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/index_en.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Here's my review with video! http://collectiondx.com/toy_review/2014/yf29_durandal_valkyrie_ozma_lee_custom Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance.

XFJ-01A Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for explain Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance. Thanks for explaining that! I secured it with a bit of Bluetack in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah, my left intake cover now fits up tight and close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thinning the tab for the left intake cover a smidge actually makes it more secure----it's loose because it can't go in all the way to be fully latched, not loose because there's too much clearance. What part of the cover needs to be thinned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Assuming everything is in fighter mode positioning: There is a tab poking upwards from the top of the intake-piece that goes into a slot inside the intake's roof. Thin that tab a bit. I think I made mine about half as thick, removing from the front side. But this can certainly vary valk-to-valk I think. Mainly I just compared it to my well-fitting right-side-piece, and carved the left one's tab to match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typhoon Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I posted about a week ago about receiving an answer on my two 29's. I had a "prep in progress" around 4 days ago and JUST received the shipping notice and details today. I'm sure they will get to you, but sending off another ticket wouldn't hurt!

What really amazes me about the Ozma is the paint Bandai used for the eyes. It reflects the light nicely; in the first and last photos it looks as though I installed an LED in the head but that's just the light reflecting off the paint, no photo shopped effects added.

close313 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Now that you mentioned it, it really looks lighted up by LED, especially when the colour is reflected on the mouthplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Now that you mentioned it, it really looks lighted up by LED, especially when the colour is reflected on the mouthplate. Yes, the reflection on the mouth plate. I was wondering what the discoloration on the mouth plate was when I was processing the photo and realized that it was the reflection from the eye. Good job Bandai! Edited May 29, 2014 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 As someone mentioned previously, NY is shipping by single orders first, then I guess they go to doubles, and so on. So the more you order, yours will be towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFJ-01A Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Does anyone where or if a 3d Rendering/Plan for the YF-29's pauldron Connector exists?Its that simple C shaped connector that snaps onto the peg in the shoulder, but I have a feeling like it could snap during a transformation or mishandle. If possible, I'd like to go down to my local 3d Printer and print out some spares in case of a worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 no worry those connectors are pretty sturdy. I have 8 yf-29's and not a single issue with the connectors.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Glad I didn't sell you my one! All jokes aside, impressive. I really thought this would be a shelf warmer so i only ordered one. when i thought you were going to cancel yours i didn't mind taking it as a double. one to keep boxed and one to play. but i had one on hlj that i forgot to cancel so i had to pay for it as well. a few weeks afterwards, once it was hard to find, that's when everyone found out the demand for these. and the collector blood in me starting rising like a zentraedi and i couldn't suppress the instincts. as jvmacross posted in the market watch thread, the fun is in the hunt! you never know, these can drop in price if bandai releases more in the wild...
