i ordered 5x from hobby genki, shipping was 8,000yen by boat and 16,000yen by airpost 21,800yen by fedex 26,000ems to the US

looked cheaper than BIJ

5 Angel Birds... Nice! Will these be on display or stay safely in the boxes? 

I normally don't do TWE orders, yet I just ordered one from Genki, if you ordered from their store then must be pretty legit. B))

I know, I know. We always blame Bandai for the new markings and decisions. But Tenjin-san is really adding his flair and make it canon. Designing the emblem and markings to commemorate the 40th Anniversary.

But, as Dan Larson puts it...

I don't think I can honestly say I've ever cared about paintschemes being canon in the first place.  Some of my favorite schemes are ones made up by fans.

My issue is that all of these new "celebratory" markings Bandai and Arcadia like to slap on their valks tend to be ducking fugly.  Can we just have something that looks good?

Then they need to hire someone else aside from Tenjin who designs and approves. :spiteful:

No, since it's TWE release. But yes in the future with astronomical price markup from third party sellers. Say, for example Kakizaki's DX VF-1A for Y144470. :shok: 

And that is correct, any TWE item is always pay upfront. :good:

I find that Kaki price totally bizarre. Maybe my fellow collectors in Canada are just cheap, but I took forever to sell my MIB DYRL Hikaru VF-1S and Kaki VF-1A. And for Kaki I ended up selling over $100 less than I paid for it. Buyers here want to pay retail price or close to it for used copies, but it's very difficult to buy them at retail price in the first place so that doesn't make sense.

That foot is upside down!

The guy from the Kitz Concept factory was fired and re-hired by the Chinese Bandai factory around the corner.....that's his signature move! Same right leg too!

And maybe the tampo guy from the Bandai factory got fired and took a job at the KC factory...hmmmm?

Bandai seems to be very inconsistent with their commitment to symmetry.

They double down on it with Kakizaki, but then lose faith in their symmetry god by not making the left leg of the Angel Birds VF-1 spell out "sdriB legnA". 

Funny, it's almost like the original reversed modex was a mistake... :rofl:

On the other hand though, "Sdrib Legna" sounds vaguely Slavic.  I kind of want markings for a team of Sv-51s with those markings now.

That heat shield is solid red. i hope they add the white over it.

i wonder if it will be painted red over white or white over red heat shield?

Considering how proud Bandai is of overdoing the markings, it just might stay all red.

:(
