Agreed. The V2 w/ Tornado packs is much, much better than V1 in almost every single way. Still, in jet mode, the V1 tornado isn't the most terrible thing ever. I love the tornado packs

You can order right now. Not the cheapest, but shipping was decent I thought. I got 2.
LOL...
I dropped in on this: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-hobbies-toys-game-character/28249-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-first-press-limited-edition-vf-1j-valkyrie-hikaru-ichijyou-machine-dx-chogokin--4573102551382.html
It let me add it to the cart and purchase. Now it shows 'Soon Available'.
Got my email receipt, account shows the order confirmed. Guess I'm done.
I got one from nin-nin. I don't often order from them, but they've not let me down yet.
Update: Got my confirmation email as well. Just looked at my order history... Haven't used them since 2014. LOL! Got the whole thing w/FedEx deliver for $211. I'm happy and done!
