Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1

[sqidd]

This is actually a pretty good price for a 1S right now. On feeBay of all places. Six left.

Have you ever seen the arcadia stand for DX VF-1?

Where can they be purchased? I was able to find these but they look a bit different, the one in the FB link has some arms that hold it in fighter mode.

Okay, in that case I have some Tamiya silver spray I guess I can decant and use to brush on... will need some thinner/retarder to hide my brush strokes because I don't have the steadiest hands. 

Thanks! Yeah I don't like how Bandai chooses to use 80s style bare diecast landing gear on a modern premium toy. It'd be like buying a brand new sports car with the suspension and tires of a Model T Ford. 

I don't know if the Tamiya silver spray is anything like the paint markers.

Hmm....I'm 7030XX and still NY hasn't filled my order...I really hate dealing with NY.  I swore them off after the VF-31A fiasco, but was swayed that that was just a one off and they always come through.  We'll see...

Ah 1 of those who swore of NY and gave in a moment of weakness that I mention in an earlier post.

EDIT SOLD

Hi guys, I got a 3rd DX VF-1S coming, but just needed 2x.

Letting go for how much I got it from Nippon - $420 NZD (approx 264 USD according to google)

PM me and I'm sure we can work something out and can let go for a bit lesser on what I have paid  Payment would be via paypal and item will be shipped from NZ. I think shipping is around 52 usd to the states.

Many thanks!

That’s pretty much how much I paid for mine.

Re: NY:  Well, just got a notice that they are preparing shipping...so...slightly redeeming themselves?  We'll see when it arrives.

I am. But I never worry about it. They always slower but never fail on delivery.

Mine shipped this morning. Pre-ordered over 6 months ago. They do take their time, but as long as I get it I'll be happy.

[dragonstar1982]

Just got delivered!!!

Every time I try to upload a picture it says -200, does anyone know why?

I have the same error, just upload onto an image hosting service like imgur and copy the image address into your post, it'll hotlink.

I've got a feeling it's because the file size is to large.

Probably to large, try resizing the photo to a smaller resolution for web upload.

Thanks for the info everybody

Finally got mine.  So cool how the little pilot figure's hands fit the controls.

[Grey728]

That’s my favorite detail considering the other two releases where the pilot just gets jostled around.

In my excitement I mistakenly mentioned NY for Nin-Nin, which is where I got my SSP from, sorry for the confusion!

isn't the release date near the 23rd?  you might want to double check .

[canklebreaker]

OMG, you are right...I am a mess today. I'm getting 2 orders mixed up. Apparently I ordered a 1S back in June from Nin-Nin and my SSP from NY (not yet shipped)...ugh sorry once again for the confusion everyone.

I don't even recall pre-ordering thru them or have a receipt...strange.

LOL, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does this!

[canklebreaker]

Haha same here! Welps, got 2 spares now. Still hoping to trade one for 1J.

When the strike packs start arriving I hope we get more than just pictures of people's boxes.

But I have my own VF-1S to look at. While I was waiting for NY to ship all I got was boxed pictures. Since I'll be waiting on NY again I'm hoping for lots of lovely photos to make my wait even more unbearable.
