  1. The thing about Macross is, its international license isn't owned by the same Japanese company that owns the local one. Harmony Gold does. And of course Harmony Gold would want their pound of flesh for any product with the Macross brand that reaches outside of Japan officially. Whatever markup you see in prices in the US basically goes to paying off Harmony Gold.
  2. I see. I'll have to see if there's any way to use direct sunlight where I am then, maybe in the corridor. Can you share any reference to disassembling the Valk? Or do you have to try to locate where the hidden screws are each time?
  3. Many thanks! I don't have much direct sunlight in my apartment so I built a uv light box. Hope it goes well.
  4. Nice thanks. How long did you leave your Valk in the UV? No disassembly done correct? Did you need to block the parts without the cream?
  5. Awesome, how did you get it so clean without fading the decals? Lower percentage of hydrogen peroxide?

  7. The winners will he notified on 09 May Monday by email based on the confirmation page. Don't try to submit more than one form though, they will delete duplicated entries. Also customers who have been regulars for the past year with completed purchases will have priority, though in certain cases(?) New customers will also be considered for the lottery.
  8. Amazon just shipped my order I ordered on Wed. Hope I get it well packed.
  9. My take is that Okini is a small private company while Amazon is a global mega corporation making a name for itself based on excellent service with a dedicated service centre... so technically should something happen, you'll get better support from Amazon? Just my opinion though. I order stuff from both sides haha.
  10. I see. Guess it'll depend on where you reside then. Taxes and shipping have both been increasing like crazy since 2020.
  11. Amazon includes local Japan tax when you first see the price but his is removed when you check it out so it's actually around ¥ 34 113 + Shipping. In my case it was cheaper by around 40 bucks including shipping compared to Okini. But it'll depend on your country of course.
  12. Still available at Amazon for cheaper than Okini.
  13. Oh that's the same store 小胖玩具屋. They must have found additional stock and relisted with a 300 yen markup. Note that the amount includes Japan Tax and will be reduced to around 33000 yen once checking out. Shipping cost is dependent on country though.
  14. Hopefully some were able to grab one. I would check back every now and then until the release date on the 25 Sep, since retailers would be putting up orders that were cancelled or that they have overstocked on. Keep up the faith!
  15. Anyone looking to grab a DX Armored VF-1 full set, Amazon has a seller selling at more or less retail price now, and offers international shipping. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Dimension-Fortress-Valkyrie-Pre-painted/dp/B093BXKQFF/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&keywords=DX超合金+劇場版VF-1A&qid=1631634897&s=hobby&sr=1-23 Look for this store 小胖玩具屋
  16. If anyone wants to order from Luna Park here's a referral code with 2000yen off. http://i.refs.cc/TjcSxC96?smile_ref=eyJzbWlsZV9zb3VyY2UiOiJzbWlsZV91aSIsInNtaWxlX21lZGl1bSI6IiIsInNtaWxlX2NhbXBhaWduIjoicmVmZXJyYWxfcHJvZ3JhbSIsInNtaWxlX2N1c3RvbWVyX2lkIjo3MDI2MjcwNjh9
