I left mine alone. I thought there was a fix? Never looked into it.

It’s by far the best Legioss out there. Still debating whether I need the red one though.
I didn’t think it was fiddly at all, but my expectations have been curbed by my experience with other Legioss releases: CMs was fun but didn’t stay together well in fighter mode. Toynami/Aoshima is a disintegrating mess. ET was, well ET despite massive improvement compared to their VF-2SS.
This sentinel one looks good in all three modes and pretty easy to transform. The only gripes I have are the hands not holding the gun well and the shoulder being too tight.

I love Baikanfu and am impressed by this release but it’s hard to swallow the huge price tag when I already have three other versions of this. It’d be a lot easier if it’s my first Baikanfu.
Having said that, I did bite on the DX Voltes despite having owned other versions. But something pushed me over the edge on that one.

EMS is still in limbo as far as I know. I had to submit multiple tickets to change shipping to DHL, paid for the extra, then they shipped pretty quickly after that.
Just be diligent with communication. Submit ticket. Submit ticket. Submit ticket. They don’t respond any other way.
I don’t think they’re trying to scam you but they’re likely just behind and slow to catch up to issues like this.

Anybody here know what display cabinet is this? I'm especially interested in the lighting. I like it. The display is from Tamashii nation 2020. You'll see it on the right side of the photo. So to answer your question, it's a custom.

I’m just glad that the box is smaller than Combattler and will take up less space.

I saw in the video two variations of the back of GX-13 (haven't taken mine out in awhile so can't check which is which), but it appears black wing would only connect to one of them. I'm referring to the two gun looking barrels. In the video it showed a pair that has the barrel vertically oriented, and another that is horizontally oriented. The one that is horizontally oriented has more mold detail inside the barrel.
I'm sure it was explained in the video but my Japanese is very limited....

Does Black Wing fit with the old GX-13?

I'm glad I got this baby pre-ordered. Praying we get a DX Regult from Macross. Or something weird like a DX Patlabor bot. I can only dream DX Patlabor would be awesome! Regult too! But given neither got the SOC treatment despite Bandai having the license, that will likely remain a dream. Meanwhile, if you haven't already, you might want to track down the Yamato Patlabor. It's an awesome figure. robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/13038/yamato-patlabor

After many months, mine finally arrived from NY (they wouldn't ship EMS due to covid and I had to pony up even more shipping for UPS). He is bigger than expected and with the lightening parts on, doesn't even fit on my 12" gokin shelf which has Dairugger, Max Gokin Big O, Iron gear, etc. on it. I love it but still feel it's pricey.

Wow I didn’t realize it’s so big! No wonder the high price tag. Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Submit a ticket through their website. Don’t email them. They don’t reply emails, but they do respond to tickets, though slowly.

That’s why they’re so hated by all Macross fans. The good news is their trademark is expiring soon so hopefully we’ll see improvements in product availability and distribution. Will probably take a couple years. I have been hearing a LOT of news before of the trademark ending only for it to get renewed. Last I heard,HG teamed up with Funimation to stream episodes of Macross if I recall. Yeah,after the drama of HG and the recent dramas of Funimation that made them a shell of a company they once were to where some are forgiving 4kids Entertainment now........ I do want to believe but in my experience,life has a way for dashing hopes and dreams. Oh man I haven’t kept up the last few months and I guess things changed for the worse then! That’s horrible news.

I seem to remember hearing rumors about BBTS receiving a cease and desist letter about pulling their Macross products. That was the end of getting Macross through BBTS.
When the whole world’s macross fans are buying from the handful of retailers the phenomenon we observe only makes sense.

I'm officially 0 for 3 on the three DX Valkyries released. At least I got a preorder in for DX Voltes V. Still pissed off though about this one. I think Bandai seriously underestimates the demand these figures have outside the East. If there were a BigBadToyStore option,I would love to use that as an alternative. But for some reason around like 2012 or so,BBTS stopped carrying the Yamato/Arcadia Valks. You would have to thank Harmony Gold for no Macross merchandise in US and much of the world. They’ve been holding the license to sell Robotech stuff for many many years and basically gives legal trouble to retailers trying to sell Macross products outside Japan. Look it up it’s a well known thing within the Macross/robotech fandom.
