DYRL VF-1S Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 The reality is that A) this VF-1S isn't due to release until Saturday, 11/23 (and it's only 7:18 AM in Japan right now so there's plenty of time left for the 23rd). B) Many places don't ship on Saturdays, so I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't shipping updates till Japan's Monday.

We'll see if the japanese-fans will be extra sensitive enough to complain about it to get Bandai to fix/replace it like they did with the original Alto YF-29... The YF-29 shoulders just popped off, the vertical stabilizer would be hard to change

But the VF-1S will be a great start for you. I have zero faith I'll stop at one, hoping to nab one of these and the Roy, and if the VF-1A continues to drop in price as it has been, that could be a huge maybe
DYRL VF-1S Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 So the only way to cover up the Tampo error is with........ Strike Parts! Wooo! Bring em.

With fedex ,There’s also more options to pickup your package . not sure if hlj shipping account allows it or not, but if they do , you can request it to be hold for pickup at a Fedex office , shipping center , or any Walgreens since it will need a indirect signature. ( need to check that next week )
Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Haven't been able to locate one in Tokyo yet, but it's still early. Time to really hit the streets!

Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Akiba ex (or however it's spelled in English; sign is Japanese) is buying back the 1S for 17500. That's not a good sign regarding availability.

Wow!, I'm glad i got one from kuramatoys even though it was $250 price last night, it shows my order is pending right now, really hope it goes through (fingers crossed) Edited November 23, 2019 by ralliart209 spelling error
Tober Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Hikaru's VF-1S is an iconic enough Valk for a reissue. Only questions are when and weather it will include Strike Packs.
CharlesXavier Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Did amazon Japan ever reopen sales for the 1S? Seems very unlikely now.

Lolicon Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 It's goddamn pathetic when even people living in Japan can't get their hands on a 1S because of Bandai's "produce the absolute minimum so that nothing stays on the shelves for more than 5 minutes" policy, nevermind people abroad and the hordes of Chinese tourists here.
CharlesXavier Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Let's hope Bandai reissues this soon with the correct tampo. For all we know this one with the error print might be worth more in the future.

FWIW, I caught a chaotic brief window on AJ for Max a week after he was released and snagged at MSRP but no one else reported getting him at that time. It was really glitchy Edited November 23, 2019 by DYRL VF-1S

CharlesXavier Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Guess there are places in Japan where no one cares a hoot about the DX VF-1S

Japanese fans should complain like the Evangelion release. It's a scalper problem, but at the end of the day, if Bandai produced sufficient quantities, the scalpers wouldn't sell for much over msrp.

Chronocidal Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Suppose you could ship it to yourself, but that does eat into the savings a bit.
DewPoint Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Buy a suitcase and check in your "normal" unneeded "carry-on items" and the VF-1S becomes the "new carry-on?"

Holy crap! That idea sounds nutty, but if I can find a super cheap suitcase, it becomes a brilliant idea and cheaper than shipping all this stuff! Genius!
