Kanedas Bike Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Where did you order yours from? Mine was shipped from NY on Monday. He (neoexcaliber) also ordered from N-Y and given the reason that Bandai split their stock allocation leading to a delay in his order being shipped. -b.

anime52k8 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Mine still says preparation in progress. Are they actually going to be able to fill all their orders? Are they going to issue refunds if they can't or are they just going to take everyone's money and then refuse to answer questions like a bunch of scumbags? I really hate doing business with these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hate doing business with these people. I asked them why they sent me the preparation e-mail when they didn't even have the items in stock but apparently it's just how their system works. The one thing I can't accept is that they don't inform you when there's a problem but we have to ask them what went wrong. Makes me wonder who's the customer.

Mommar Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I wonder how this is going to work for all of us who accidentally put the F and G packs on the same pre-order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yeah, I'm really curious about that one. I'm going to still demand they give me my packs, however they have to acquire them. If they didn't set them aside, and have to pay more than I'm paying them, it's their loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I do not have small hands. This thing is a beast. I did remove the gunpod adapter. Just a little piece that wedges in between the the tornado forearm armors. the 2 grey pieces are filler inserts I removed from the wing augments in order to attached the extra missle pods. Pretty floppy on the Bandai stand, but... Edited July 24, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That stand...so pretty T_T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) A few observations after messing with it for a bit. The long cannons on top will stay where you put them, but they rotate up and down very easily. Everything locks on pretty solid except for the leg armors. They haven't fallen off on their own, but there was no real confirmation of a solid fit. No squeak or click. The wings lock very solidly into the leg armors for fighter mode. Landing gear works, but there is a fraction of a millimeter between the lower stabilizers on the wing extensions and the ground. There is a solid click for the vtol thrusters as you turn them. The only downside is that, at least on mine, they are not centered properly. Something to check when you get yours. Very impressive kit. Markings are plentiful and crisp. Glad I grabbed one when I could. I will most likely never display it in battroid mode. This thing is not light. Fighter and gerwalk is where it is at.

The Old Man Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Fantastic pics and great info. Can't wait to get mine And yes, that stand is gorgeous. I really hope your plans come to fruition so we can all ditch the standard bandai ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's not light? You'd figure for such a giant add-on, and especially because most of the weight is toward the outside away from the attachment point, you'd want to try to make it as light as you possibly could. But I guess logic and Bandai don't go together, especially when you look at that dumb brace they came up with. In that last pic it looks like the wings do angle downward slightly.

It adds a lot of heft. Have to be careful with the angles I pose the stand in. It wants to tip backwards off of the bandai cradle stand adapter piece.

ChaoticYeti Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) The only other set I have is a super pack. Renewal VF-25f with tornado pack weighs 620-622 grams on my shipping scale. Edited July 24, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Got mine in as well today...in my rush I somehow managed to break the wing root, the small peg on the underside of the wing that fits into the leg portion of the Tornado/Super/Armor parts of my 25F that I bought just for the Tornado Packs. And then lost the damn piece before I could try and glue it back on. With regards to weight, from what I can tell there is no appreciable difference in weight from a 25 with Tornado vs. Armor Parts, with a slight nod going to the armor parts, probably from the sheer number of additional pieces. -b.
