Mommar Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just based on what I've seen here if Bandai or Arcadia tried this in 1/60 scale they'd both knock it out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Frig the N-y price is good. I wish I could cancel my Amani order for 2 and get them from ny instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I hope Bandai or Arcadia considers a 1/60 version if the HMR sells well. I'd love to have one in scale with all my other valks. Since Macross II isn't canon, I'll just pretend it was a limited production fighter that was too expensive and phased out with the rollout of the VF-4.

Graham Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I wonder if both arm super parts open for gunpod storage? And if so, does it ship with one gunpod or two? I guess one from the photos shown so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbit Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looking forward to playing with mine, although I suck at transforming modern valks. Interesting solution for the groin hinge in the transformation video. I was wondering how they would solve that. Overall, looks sturdy "enough". Definitely not too floppy like some recent ones from other manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess it comes with one gunpod and a swappable effect part to show the gunpod being ejected from the arm armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 How long does AmiAmi usually take to send an actual invoice? They sent me a payment request yesterday with the following message: The shipping costs for this order has been reset due to your update.A new invoice with the changes will be sent during our business hours and we ask for your patience.Thank you. This is my first ordering with them, I usually just use HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Can anyone tell me if N-Y raised their price from the original pre-order. Just curious as I hope they have more stock for the VE-1 like they have for the VF-2SS and was curious about any price difference.

Atheonyirh Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 That video review reminded me to get a Trident Plus stand to hold the fighter and all 4 Squire drones. Thankfully there's an eBay seller in the US that has the not-clear ones for $18 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) My first 3 should be coming in a couple of weeks. Repainting them into variants of Nexx and Faerie Squadron should be easy.

Sanity is Optional Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I'll probably grab a second one if they make a Nexx version. Otherwise, I think I'm good with just 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Once the official Nexx and Faerie Squadron get released, I’ll convert those customs into green stripe variants. I was planning on taking a whole collection pic on my dining table but this is how far I got into setting up until the baby woke up. I’ll try again later.
