You're a great example to us all. :hail:

Actually, the fifth one should be a 'just in case' situation.

Now, the fourth one is the 'pose/transformation the heck out of it.'

So basically, @Foblander needs 6 of it. 3 to have it in 3 modes without worrying about the joints. 1 for transforming and playing. 1 for MISB. And 1 for just in case.

Case closed. ^_^ 

 

Ahh..... The "just in case" is important!

Creating more accounts on HLJ/AJ/AmiAmi as a preparation for this wise plan!

I have an understanding with the postman. Packages for Apt1-x (for all x) will be delivered to Apt1 regardless (just in case they try to verify shipping address on multiple accounts.

Kakizaki's 1A better come with a fat pilot figure.

I always felt like Kakizaki wasn't so much "fat" as really just "big."  I get he is supposed to be sort of the "big buffoon" type character, but I think that has been exaggerated over time by fan perception and other non-canon stuff.  He is definitely the goofiest of the three, but he really doesn't do anything that ridiculous or stupid.  Of course he does die...

But I agree with the pilot size; Hikaru and Max can get away with being the same mold at these small scales, but Kakizaki definitely needs to look bigger.  Maybe that's part of the reason they make the VF-1 cockpits so big?

ah - so all along Bandai had made the seats much bigger than the hikaru figure for a good reason!  To allow for a "plus size" Kakizaki pilot figure that will fit snugly into the space...

You beat me to that point on the seemingly loose pilot seats... let's see if they really make Kakizaki "to scale" :D

We can all argue with that once Chuck's 31E arrives. ;)

My love of all things Jenius means I will be up late Sunday.  I just can’t fight it anymore.

Ha ha ha.  Edited your comment for another musical reference Mommar. :lol:

We'll see how this pre-order madness goes this Sunday.

Edit: I might try and get Max's 1a (no guarantees)

No, but it would seem you stumbled on the JAN: 4573102567222

For example, DX VF-1J is 4573102551382

Most retailers don't usually have it until close to the PO opening. Just follow this thread when it's close to PO start and kind members will usually post the links. when they become available.

I’m still debating on this. I’m real picky about owning multiple Valks in the same scale. I planned on only getting Hikaru Valks but these pictures are killing me lol. Someone tell me I don’t need it haha

You DON'T NEED it... but you know you WANT it with every fiber of your being. :spiteful:

When is the pre-order begin?

This Sunday 2pm Japan Standard time or it's Sunday night/Early Monday Morning on the 8th (depending in your time zone).

From @Convectuoso

https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20190408T16&p0=248&msg=DX+Chogokin+VF-1A+Max&font=slab&csz=1

Adjust accordingly to your time zones (or possibly pay 2x the MRSP after the official release date in August/September).

Well.. That happens when my brain is scrambled while working late afternoon shift.

Oh... Before I forget. An additional heads up for those who are into Bandai's Movie Realizations figures, pre-orders for Outlaw Wolverine is also on the same time as well.

So effectively: "You can kill two birds with one stone" as the quote goes. ;)

Thanks @borgified. The countdown timer from @Convectuoso shows 18 hours 45 mins to go, which seems to suggest Monday 3am Eastern time US (4pm Japan Time), but I will be up early anyway to make sure I don’t miss this PO madness party! :D
