Arkham Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (Note to mods: I read a bit rules and FAQs and was unable to pinpoint the best place to post this, as it would fit several other forums, feel free to remove/move/edit this post if required and apologies in advance) Just a few days ago I joined this wonderful world/club of "Valkyrie owner", with a very nice Arcadia 1/60 VF-1S (w/ Strike Parts). The lovely folks at my country customs decided to remove the Gunpod... and now I'm sad I've contacted HLJ, but since the product is SoldOut/Discontinued, they can't help on the matter, and looks Arcadia only deals with Japanese customers. What are my options? - So far I've scoured every buy/sell website or forums (including this one), and unable to find someone selling it (Yamato's would be "compatible" with Arcadia, right?) - Are "spare parts" or replacement service where I could buy one? - Has anyone 3D-printed it? - Any other options that you can come up to help in this situation? - To the mods, should I x-post this to other forums like Workshop? (didn't want to spam) Any help, tip or suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
