Loop Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Mine arrived this morning, it made it through the shipping process super fast. It shipped on the 22nd and arrived this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Dammit HLJ still has to send me shipping confirmation for the loot i requested on 7/21 Their shipping seem to be getting slower and slower,, besides they also have a July sale going on so maybe that is cause a bit more congestion on top (, this july sale is kinda weak) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A minimum 2-3 business days to ship the item. Dammit HLJ still has to send me shipping confirmation for the loot i requested on 7/21 Are you referring to the 6 hours pre-order window that opened up on Tuesday? It was open so long that I assumed no one was interested but I'm guessing they overbooked again.

As soon as i paid for the 29b i made and paid for the shipping request and still nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 This is my first YF-29 and the color scheme on this bird really makes it look evil.... in a great way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) All these pics are making me want to rip mine out of it's prison. I like the colors on this one a lot. Looks like Bandai's pilots are starting to look a lot better compared to the VF-25 pilots. Edited July 26, 2015 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did you pull off the head lasers for your photo shoot? I can't see them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did you pull off the head lasers for your photo shoot? I can't see them... I did, they were really warped/bent (Unlike my YF-25 there were no hard plastic type lasers) so I just took them off, personally I like the head better this way.

derex3592 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I was actually going to do that if mine ended up being bent out of shape, thankfully both mine are perfectly straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda like the look of it without the head lasers and yes, this bird has a sinister look to it because of the color scheme. I noticed on mine the left side intake cover pops out easily, has anyone else had this? Edited July 27, 2015 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lucky the head lasers on the both I got were pretty straight. Only one had a slight bend but its liveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks Saburo, so far my intakes are tight as can be. Gerwalk is it's most lethal looking mode IMO. Good to know. I was taking photos of the 29B and when I went to transform it I noticed it was not there. My first thought was that the intake cover was not included and I got a 29B with missing part from factory. I then reviewed the photos and saw it was there. I looked around my place and found it under coffee table. Ok, enough about my frantic moment looking for a small part. Yes the 29's have the a lethal looking Gerwalk mode, but they are 2nd to the 27's for deadly looking Gerwalk mode IHMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was searching for it my brain was thinking of plans to get the cover replace. I am glad I was able to find it, if not I would have been pissed and wouldn't have been able to complete the shoot. Here is the YF-29B photo drop, enjoy!

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I passed on this one, but after seeing all of these great pictures I wish I hadn't. Same here. I like that Bandai actually updated the pilot to reflect the character, but still isn't enough justification to get another VF-29 (aside from the color scheme and isamu's rifle). If they bundled it with the fast pack set then I would've picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 But when they release the fast packs you can get them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 How's the finish on this one? Is it more like the regular glossy YF-29 release or it's more like YF-30/VF-19Adv matte finish releases? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 @Saburo if it was lost then you could have temporarily borrowed a cover from one of the other 29. Those photos are sensational!

Beautiful shot Saburo. The GERWALK is sweeeet!! Thank you. I really like how the 29 looks in Gerwalk. Excellent pictures Saburo, very crisp & clean!! Good thing your YF-29 Head lasers were good and straight! Thank you 505. The head lasers are fairly straight, I might pop them off (If I can find an easy way to take them out. I am scared they'll break) and try to straighten them out. How's the finish on this one? Is it more like the regular glossy YF-29 release or it's more like YF-30/VF-19Adv matte finish releases? Thanks. Its glossy. @Saburo if it was lost then you could have temporarily borrowed a cover from one of the other 29. Those photos are sensational! Loving the carbon effect! Perfectly suits the Valkyries! Yes, that was an option, but my personality wouldn't let me continue with the shoot, till I found the intake cover. Lucky for me I found it.
