    If you do not care waiting until after it's released outside of Japan, you can probably get a discount on it come Xmas time later this year.....outside of Japan, I doubt this particular VF has enough recognition and demand to maintain current US retail pricing....guessing it will dip below 100 USD soon after domestic release.... https://www.amazon.com/TAMASHII-NATIONS-Macross-Valkyrie-Hi-Metal/dp/B0CZQKGSQ6/ref=sr_1_9 https://www.eknightmedia.com/macross-7-vf-19-custom-fire-valkyrie-hi-metal-r-action-figure-by-bandai-tamashii-nations.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH50huzpFAZIOwtAw-qXRRvIt5ZXxlLL6JNrQK_Hk-qQBxU49ZqSRT3UaAjutEALw_wcB

    It all depends on how badly US fans want it....like the DX Mechanics VF-1S...there were 2 waves.....if you waited until the second wave, you definitely paid less than those who "panic" bought when it was first released.... Another example would be the "blue" Max VF-0S.......it was not a "VF-1" from SDFM/Robotech and it was not in "canon" colors....it more or less has not gained much re-sale "value" since its original release.... Personally, I think it will not go beyond the 50K JPY range...may even drop below that after the hype clears.....it has a lot of stuff going against it....mainly the non-canon looks...it may not be desireable enough to command much demand, thus keeping the aftermarket price low....time will tell

    I had thought that it could be PO'd in advance if you were a Tamashii Club member between 4-18 to 4-24....then a more "general" sale between 5-10 to 5-24....interesting

    Ultimately....the colors should just have a subtle or limited inclusion of their "significant other's" ride....like Max's VF-1J has red stripes on the legs....and Milia has blue stripes on her -1J... The KC GBP M&M ignore this and are just....Max is blue and Milia is red On the Toynami GBP...they could have just painted the black stripes on the leg armor blue for Milia and red for Max and it would have been ok...but yeah...still much better than the KC versions....they must have had a lot of that blue-grey paint left over!

    I guess Toynami got that right....and most everything else wrong...

    Was anyone able to grab a PO via a proxy or other means? I guess for US market....this may be available via the NYC Tamashii store....so unless you are close to NY you're still going to have to pay a "finder's fee".... So far I only see Luna offering it and they have already increased the price for one....lol The ones listed on eBay may be just as bad or worse.... I do not have access to the sales page....is it still up for PO?

    It's a shame the other three that were teased were not released....

    Will just wait for Amazon or some other online retailer's Xmas sale discount...

    You have the others or was just interested in the VF-17S? https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/40507-macross-7-old-goodies/?do=findComment&comment=1215608

    The Absolute Chogokin VF's will still have more diecast than the Chogokin 50th VF-1J....lol https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42999-absolute-chogokin/?do=findComment&comment=1239351 https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42999-absolute-chogokin/?do=findComment&comment=1256727

    Reminds me....we're due for Macross Chronicle 3.0... They'll probably wait until after the next Macross series at this point....
  13. jvmacross
    Of course...which was basically this... Again....not sure what KC defines as "extensive research"....but they definitely dropped the ball on this M&M GBP Set....can't say I'm all that surprised though...

    I still have 2 kids within the targeted demographic for these Sonic movies.....it'll be a $5 matinee for us! They are goofy fun, so not complaining...

    I don't mind "excessive" tampo...it's the weird, non-canon, and "creative license" type of tampo that I can do without...Tenjin is arguably the best VF illustrator out there, but Bandai'd should just let him illustrate the boxart and not ask for him to make up stuff for their DX line's tampo designs....it doesn't give the DX's more "street cred"....it takes it away...lol
