Most of the cost of shipping is the gigantic PG box and unfortunately is too big to qualify for slow boat shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 14K combine, @Lolicon, is that cheaper than having them shipped separately? Just curious. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to when your PG needs to be shipped from PW? Is it almost 60 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means you'll have to wait a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that short period, they'll charge a restocking fee. Even with the fee, might still be cheaper to avoid the shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would prefer to have it display in all modes. Some would prefer to have one to play with, one to display with, one to keep in minty box, and one for just in case. As for a fifth one, maybe some people just can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm not shelling out for any more Roys unless they release a DYRL version. I might just straight up trade one of my TV ones, if the option presents itself, but that still depends on Bandai actually making it.

Be careful with panel lining and weathering. Once you start, you will want to do it to every Valk you have. The ones without it just look too plain by comparison.

The ones without it just look too plain by comparison. This is why I don't buy the PF version. In my head, I rather do all the panel linings or weathering if I want to add it. So all of it will look the same. Or I'll just save a lot of money and send everything to @Lolicon so all of my Valks will have that Premium 'Lolicon-Special-Touch' Edition. And all the landing gears will be white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shoulda got one then Actually, I could make one myself if I really want to, it'd be easy to swap pilots and the instrument panel, which is all I really care about. I'm honestly curious if that would give a better result than an official Bandai release, because I know at least the TV Roy has the right tail number. The head and head markings really don't bother me either way, but I'd probably make a recast DYRL pilot rather than repaint a Kakizaki.

Oh, to be clear, my DYRL Roy used to be a DYRL Hikaru, not a TV Roy. I think making the red things yellow and doing the name/rank and tail 001 is actually easier than trying to change all the other decals and worry about cockpits and pilots (besides a bit of yellow paint on the helmet).

Ryoma Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Not quite sure if the subject has been discussed yet but i was wondering...is it possible to use the old yamato variable stand on the new Bandai 1/48 line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canklebreaker Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I know there is a thread dedicated to NY issues but just wanted to inform everyone here as well that PayPal offered me a $100 voucher for my original pre-order of the TV movie parts. It took a lot of time and effort contacting them and reiterating the issue but it paid off. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
