Vi-RS Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This thing is so well built that I don't know how to take it apart except the die cast foot plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstuff Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This thing is so well built that I don't know how to take it apart except the die cast foot plates. I agree. Bandai knocked it out of the park with this. I'd love to see an MKI with hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This thing is so well built that I don't know how to take it apart except the die cast foot plates. Throw it out of a high-rise building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It might damage the street below when it hits though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I know you were joking and all, but with that much weight from a high rise may actually do some real damage. Not only that, but it has so much weight at the lower half it may just land on its feet😺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Seems to be sold out. It might be available again closer to the date. Loopaza has the Hikaru TV VF-1J for preorder. https://www.loopaza.com/brand/hi-metal-r.html September 30 can't come here soon enough for the CF VF-1A's. Can't wait.

Roy Focker Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hikaru sold out (at fair prices) really fast. I hoping to there will be some at a fair prices after it is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Looks like Hong Kong Post Air Mail / DHL Global Mail with an average shipping cost of $15 no matter what type of VF-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 What are loopaza shipping rates like? Like I mentioned here before you can check an estimate shipping price from Loopaza even if you don't register to be a member. Just put the item in the cart. Scroll down and you will see the quote shipping area. I just checked for California zip code and it's $17 for me. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The Hikaru preorder was abou 2 months ago, but some may open up with cancellations or an awesome deal may pop up after release. I'm still wondering when we'll hear about something beyond the Max 1j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hikaru sold out (at fair prices) really fast. I hoping to there will be some at a fair prices after it is released. At today's current yen rate goes, I can say that the price posted at Loopaza at $61.99 is already fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still wondering when we'll hear about something beyond the Max 1j. That right there sir is how we test our patience. Because if they do reveal month after month what are they're going to release, we have to keep up and start saving more. We don't want members here to start complaining that Bandai should stop so we can somehow replenish budgets for our hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edstuff Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I found an old bag of 44 special brass casings. I'm gonna try and sneak into the shop this week and take one or two to the bench grinder and take down the rim. Try and make it resemble the shells from the YouTube vid. I'll post my results when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylive Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 guys. whats the difference between the hikaru release, and the hikaru that was used as the armored vf-1? they look the same to me. i know theres a difference, or else whats the point of this release lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) The TV version VF-1J Hikaru gets a new head sculpt, white visor vs grey, filler pieces for battroid mode, small wings for battroid, tinted canopy, different red color(?), different painted chest stripes, TV hands and maybe some other things that I forgot. You can take a look at these links to compare: TV VF-1J Hikaru http://tamashii.jp/item/11427/ Armored VF-1J http://tamashii.jp/item/11012/ Edited August 28, 2016 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
