  1. It wouldn't help. It would drive up the "apparent demand" and jack up the price. And even if you don't honor the preorder, they would most likely be able to sell them at $(InflatedPrice -2).
  2. The VF-171 is abundant in the local shops. As low as US$177. Quite certain that many units of DX Macross are bought by scalpers.
  3. Damn, I was in a meeting in all of the last 7 online shop sales.
  4. I am from Hong Kong. Thanks to Harmony Gold and local Bandai can't sell Macross goods, we are fighting for the same units as all other people in the world. You may see the Macross DX on the streets, but at scalper price.
  5. I'd be in the middle of a meeting when Amiami opens for sale...
  6. Does Amazon Japan ship overseas? Thanks in advance.
  7. The new version gets a neck and the chest now rests higher. The shoulders are also readjusted it seems. Damn. I thought it would be a quiet August. P.S. Oops! I didn't comment on the hip.
  8. To be issued in August: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-206714-1-1.html - Bundled set - Some parts will be redesigned

    Do you live in Japan? Is it regarded to be a popular item in Japan? Just curious how popular Macross is in its homeland.

    The MSRP should be less than US$30... For that price, it's a decent figure. But honestly, the face script was bad.
  11. I liked the green canopy too. The color mix was good. To hell with "real life military color" when we have a fighter that can transform into a giant robot in a second. My LV 1S has bright yellow stripes.
  12. Yesterday a local toy shop opened it for preorder at approximately $177. I wonder if Bandai makes a lot of units this time.
  13. Sometimes the character will add up to how you like a mecha. For instance, I don't like VF-19S/F enough because their pilots are forgettable. On the contrary, while many valks are blue, I cannot help myself if Max flied in it.
  14. Macross: VF-4G Non Macross: EX-Chogokin Shin Getter-1 (Interestingly, the most expensive toy I have in possession now may be the Tamashii Festival Limited Metal Build Gundam OOR.) To my wife: I've never, never bought anything mentioned in this thread. OK, maybe I bought them at 10% of the price these guys just mentioned.
  15. Like mine. It's kind of floppy, because of its size and weight. Still, I think it's a decent toy.
  16. I am waiting for the yen to go down a little bit further... and a little bit more...
  17. If NY hates you, you'd better be very lucky, or prepare to pay a hefty premium on EvilBay.
  18. We all have gone through the preorder frenzy. Sometimes you bite the bullet, and then a better deal shows up later. Then sometimes you honor the deal, but often you want to cancel the more expensive one. May I ask how do the shops see customer cancelling orders? Anyone actually suffer from the adverse effect? How many orders did you cancel before they turn their back on you? - AmiAmi - Hobby Search - Nippon Yasan - Others Thanks!
  19. Would you please share with me the tip too? Thanks!
  20. #4 always applies after going through #3 and/or #7.

    The SD version has just been released in March, so I suppose the upcoming one is normal scaled.

    Thanks! But 1 Kuji and the SQ figures are basing on the same dress... ? In such a short time-frame... So weird.
  23. The 30th Anniv Super & Strike Parts (a.k.a. SSP) set comes with the optional parts (armpit covers, etc). SSP automatically refers to the DYRL version of the FAST parts. The TV counterpart is the Super Parts set, which has a lighter color, different armor armor design and without the dual beam cannon option.
