Since they finally printed the numbers right, this one is lacking what I'm just going to refer to as "Bandai Taint." It's actually done correctly, without Bandai's stupid logic marring the whole thing. While it's not really that visible, just knowing it's done correctly is a nice feeling that you don't have with the previous versions. My AmiAmi order just got dropped at my door, and it's a beauty. If the parts in the cockpits can be coaxed out, I might just mix and match pilots and control panels to just turn one of these into a DYRL and call it a day. 9 minutes ago, Lolicon said: Printing the modex number correctly was probably an oversight that cost someone their job. Remains to be seen if the rest of the DYRL Skull members will have the corrected modex numbers when released... most likely, tho, the beatings will continue until morale improves...

I was only going to collect the TV variants in the DX line anyway, and I am so glad that they have fixed the 001 for Roy's 1S. The symmetrical "non-error" in Kakizaki's tail fin (012, 210) would have driven me absolutely nuts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives me nuts and for the price I just can't justify using the decal sheet from Kaki to fix all of the DYRLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about robbing my Hasegawa 1/48 kit of a pilot....and even considered chopping the SDFM centre control stick....but not sure I should go that far in butchering the DX. If I can pry the consoles out of the TV versions, I may very well do so, but I'm more interested in swapping part for part, and just kitbashing a DYRL version out of stock elements. The giant honking sticks on the TV consoles are a grievous eyesore though, and need to go away entirely either way. Don't know if I'd do anything special to the pilot though, other than repainting a spare Kakizaki or something like that.

I'm open to doing another run of my DX valk supplemental set. They've been coming through for many of us. My order from them arrived today. At least one of the members in your position contacted Nin-Nin and asked for a status update. They were told that there was a shipment delay for some of the stock and orders would be going out next week (I think). Hello, I would also gladly get one sheet from you please.

I also really appreciate the Skull insignia being just a little lower on the heat shield. I think they're a bit too high with the stock application. Bandai did the same thing with the Hi-Metal R version. Red Comet is legit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to sell my Hikaru 1S, the Roy 1S simply looks better to me for one thing, and for another it doesn't have that Goddamned backwards modex number for the sake of "Symmetry" in battroid or whatever nonsense reason they had to make it that way.

Shinobi Rendar Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The Focker has landed! A day early as well. I wonder if NNG is buying stock from local shops. This is my first DX and I can't wait to play with it this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
