Chronocidal Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Hah, drat, guess I should have waited after all. Oh well, I'm running out of Frontier stuff I'm interested in anyway.
Mommar Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Okay, time for a second question. Does anybody know of a glue that works on the Bandai Renewal Valks? The small triangle attached to the back of the base of the rear tail fins just came loose too. I think my YF-25 was assembled by a retard.
Sandman Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ha ha. Got one at hlj for cheaper than my preorder that n-y cancelled. Screw you n-y.
OzmaLee74 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 What the difference in Sal and Registered air mail? Not exactly sure but I think airmail is supposed to have priority over SAL wherein the SAL shipments get shipped if there is space available on the plane. I could be mistaken though. Your milage may vary though.
mechaninac Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Also, regular, unregistered, SAL does not include a tracking number; registered SAL does, and costs a bit extra.
Gakken85 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I got registered air mail with CDJ. It was $166. I think HLJ with EMS would be $155?
Kanedas Bike Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Sure would be nice if other Bandai Macross Frontier DX releases stayed available on sites like HLJ this long... -b.
Gakken85 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 They have it limited to one per person this time. Don't think they did that the first time round
SaitouSad Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 HLJ usually has a 1 unit per customer limit for DX Chogokin releases. It's not stated up front, and only shows up once you've added the item to cart. And even then, the system still lets you go through with your order. It is only after that, that they'll send you a warning about doing so.I've told them before that perhaps they should indicate the limit on the item page itself, since it is not very apparent to buyers, but that has yet to be changed.Anyway, this has been the easiest Valk to get for me. I actually scored one on Amiami on launch day, and I believe it was up for a while too.

When they have an order limit, you can only add one to cart and not more. The way some people try to order more if to place multiple orders which is when HLJ will send you an email. Still deciding whether to get another as I got one from CDJapan already.
Kanedas Bike Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Truly I have no need for another, but I swear the longer HLJ has this up the more tempted I am. It's liking having extra food around, you already ate and are full, but that extra pizza (or whatever) is just sitting there... -b.

How true I was like whether I should buy it, then decide okay I will go to my meeting and then come back after an hour and chances are it might be gone. But it's still here and tempting me.

Its like everyone got their food but I'm still waiting for mine. Waiting for the inevitable Leon type can leave a guy hungry
Mommar Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 So i sorted out the problem with the additional metal piece jammed in the foot and can now fully transform it to Fighter. This is my favorite color scheme hands down. It looks amazing in hand. Now if I could find a glue to hold on the little bit of base for the rear stabilizer...

I took solace in the fact that I spent 300+ on a VF-1J Milia today, so that's keeping my hand off the button haha.
Skylynx Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I don't even have one and feel like this. Its like everyone got their food but I'm still waiting for mine. Waiting for the inevitable Leon type can leave a guy hungry Stop thinking Just buy....no regrets!
skullmilitia Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I grabbed one from HLJ, basically ships free with my PW so I'm good.

The way some people try to order more if to place multiple orders which is when HLJ will send you an email. ahh, I see. I forgot about that. I decided that 1 is enough for this piece. I still need to preserve shelf space for my 2 x YF-30s and hopefully 1 day, 3 x 25S. Then I think I'm done with the Frontier Valks. Also would not be surprised at the inevitable super pack. I'm sure even if there wasn't one, Bandai would make one.
Chronocidal Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Actually, I hope they do make one, because it would save people a lot of work making that custom set in gray. Doubt they would make a set of packs just for a custom version that was never seen on screen, but it would be interesting if they actually made that combination super/armor/lance set.
Duymon Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks for posting Duymon! I can rest easy now I know that the scratch on the lerx is not a bad production issue. Were the pilots packaged or already in the cockpit? update: checked my tracking and its in SF. The pilots are not packaged in the plane, they are separate just like in every other VF-25 release. Can't wait till my 2nd and 3rd arrive then I can complete my VF-25 display case. Oh, if only I had some color-matched orange paint and a lance... Also, now the hard choice. Regular blue crotch (Just blue paint over white, i checked by shaving off some of the inside with a knife) VS White crotch from Alto Edited June 24, 2014 by Duymon
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 it's gone now. i passed bc i have 2 coming in. one ems and one sal. i'm good with just two...

Gakken85 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 it's gone now. i passed bc i have 2 coming in. one ems and one sal. i'm good with just two... There will be more on the aftermarket before long. Always are :E
no3Ljm Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Nice! Everyone is getting their YF-25s. Congrats everyone! Any close-up photo of the head? How was the clear visor? More on the blue tint or green? And hopefully Bandai will release the optional set to replace the head and add the add-on super/armor parts and the lance.
charger69 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Oh, if only I had some color-matched orange paint and a lance... How did you separate knee armor from shin armor? Edited June 24, 2014 by charger69
spanner Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) VS White crotch from Alto (the above photo is courtesy of Duymon) sorry Duymon, not stealing your photo or credit! oh I must say the white does looks rather nice over the blue!! Edited June 24, 2014 by spanner76
ErikElvis Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I appreciate the initial post about it being available at HLJ. I had to ship my PW in 3 days so it should basically ship free or very cheap.
Benbot Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Well, I missed out again. This is beginning to really piss me off. I'm about ready to swear off Macross collecting all together.
Duymon Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 How did you separate knee armor from shin armor? You can pop the knee cap off the shin armor super easily on the armored parts sets. It's just held on with some blue-tac in that pic
Mommar Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Well, I missed out again. This is beginning to really piss me off. I'm about ready to swear off Macross collecting all together. It has been on pre-order for months now, you could have bought it at any point between March and now.
