I guess Amazon.jp no longer has any more at the moment for PO...unless you are looking at another site? My shipping total was just over 3400 for all three...but that was for priority shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I always loved the little plastic super robot figures I had since I was a kid and even better when they are die cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It would be nice if all POs actually released a month or so after placing a PO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 These are now out in the wild. There’s some assembly needed; it comes in 3 pieces. The wings & back plate are a single piece, the vertical stabs & backpack are another, & then there’s the rest of it for which the former 2 pieces plug into. What’s surprising is both the wing & vertical stab pieces are made of some sort of PVC, which makes them quite bendy. Not sure if other Tomica’s are made this way, but honestly thought any plastic parts would minimally be hard plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) ...HMR VF-0 ...1\60 VF-1 ...CW 1\72 VF-1 I think these look much better in-hand than the promo pics suggested...they have a nice "heft" to them and the paint and tampo is pretty nice...Although it would have been nice to have included some plug in landing gear...for the price, they are really nice...I'll pick up more if they make them... I did not have easy access to my Doyusha 1\144 VFs, which is what I really wanted to compare these with...but from memory...these seem a bit smaller...Once I get to the Doyushas I'll post some pics unless someone else does....

Shawn Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Are those paint dings/mistakes noticeable on something so small? I know the camera can really bring out the worst sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the camera can really bring out the worst sometimes If you look at it that closely you will see paint issues I suppose....but from a normal distance, say on your work desk, etc...no one will notice or probably care...They came out to about 7 usd each before shipping so can't complain...
