Both my orders from Cdjapan and Amiami arrived today. I'm happy that Cdjapan was able to hold my MB Strike until the yf-19 release date for the combine shipping. Open both of them right away to do a quick antenna check. Both of them is good. :lol: Both of these stores do package their items pretty well so I'm sure that helped. The ones that received with broken Antenna were HLJ and Anime-export. :unsure: Good to hear! Did I read it right? Pretty much the people that ordered from HLJ and AE have broken antennas? Man, I'm starting to get worried, my one will be coming from mykombini
I just base this on the people that show their antenna's broken. It was meant to say that perhaps better packaging from HLJ and Anime-export can save those antennas. But if the cause is from the factory then no amount of packaging material would be able to help I'm not saying yf-19 from hlj or anime-export will forsure have broken antennas. just that their packaging is not as good as cdjapan or amiami

Got mine from CDJ today. Antenna is fine.
But gotta say, based on first impression, look and feel in fighter mode alone, Arcadia wins hands down no competition. The DX just doesnât have the fit and finish that Arcadia has, and doesnât feel premium despite the excessive tampo printing.
I do look forward to putting on the missiles to my Bandai DX valks, namely the VF-31s.

Verry important when transforming into battroid-mode:
THE HIP-BARS ARE WAY WAY TOO TIGHT OOB, SO LOOSEN UP THE SCREWS ON THE HIP BARS A BIT BEFORE ROTATING INTO PROPER POSITIONING OF INTAKES JUST ABOVE CODPIECE. See pics below:

battoid with FAST-Pack installed:

Just picked mine up at the PO today. First thing I did was open the box and check the head antenna and it was intact. This guy is staying in the box for awhile.

Yey! My First DX Macross! The boxart is just gorgeous! nice, the hips are very tight, it's recommended to losing the screws to make everything easier and safer.

Yes you are right - mykombini do package their items quite well! Bubble wrap and all. I was super duper nervous when I opened it to check if the antenna is intact *phew* glad it's in one piece
