Look at the box art for Hikaru's and Roy's Strike VF-1s above on technoblue's post. It's the same valk, just add the needed changes to the colour and background (unless you want it like the ET boxart for their VF-2ss).  

I’m fully aware and no I don’t want the ET box art.

The copy of the Roy and hikaru vf1s was due to the web exclusive recolor. Most past releases that were exclusives had no color, but lately a few items like millia’s 1j were more creative.

Yeah one recolored box art doesn’t necessarily imply that everything going forward will also be like this.

also a photo contest with background wallpapers at the bottom of the page... http://tamashii.jp/special/robot_explosion/ ....

What in the hell are those things?  Looks like some evil spore monsters from a B-movie.

Are the explosion effects available for pre-order yet?  I'm having trouble finding them through the usual retailers.

I think these are promo items and not sale items. You gotta purchase one of the Robot Spirits or HMR during the window and it'll have a chance to get the explosions. Pink ones start on 7/14 and brown ones on 7/25.

Any idea when we might be seeing prototypes of the VF-1D?

Good question........in fact it is the only VF-1 we have never seen a prototype for.....as for everything else, we also have not seen a prototype for the Q-Rau (TV and DYRL) and N-Ger (TV)...everything else is just a matter of repaints....and maybe the Regult Scout, but would that just be a matter of some new plastic add-on pieces?

And if you want to start wish listing again....there's the VF-X-4....and other's like the Star Goose, Lancer II, Gnerl and Rabbit...:rolleyes: (some are already available via EXO)....

Is there a Tamashii nations event in Japan every October? It would seem like that would be a good time to make a big Macross splash again. 

Seeing at how the recent tamashii summer event had zero coverage for macross, this Octobers event indeed would be ideal for macross announcements.
I cant find any schedule information of the TN event for this year yet, perhaps its buried somewhere in the japaneses sites..

Besides that tho i think the big splash would be any information on new macross series coming up...

I just bought this magazine.  Hopefully the stickers are intact.

Hey sh9000. That's a cute Minmay cover. :wub: 

Btw, stickers for what if you don't mind my asking.

Stickers to make a HM VF-1J into a VF-1J from Macross The First.  I’m going to put them on a HMR VF-1J and try modifying the head.

Pre-owned but not a bad price.

Too bad they don’t have anymore Monsters with box damage for 13600 JPY.

I wish they'd reissue the Tamashii Stage ACT TRIDENT PLUS. That one I'd buy.

I'll be getting a few of these as well upon reissue. Got two sets of the Stage Act 5 clear and the Action Base 4 and 5 clear.

Jungle had HMR VF-1J Armored Valkyrie for a little cheaper than what they go for right now so I bought it.

Ah, so you're the one. I'm interested to see how bad it is, since they listed at B grade.

This is what Jungle mentioned in the How to Use section of the grades (copied it from their website and post it here)

In JUNGLE we basically sell 3 kinds of products:

conditionicon_s_en
SEALED item:Item new in sealed box.

conditionicon_a_en
“A grade item”: Used item in a near mint-condition.

conditionicon_b_en
“B grade item”: The item has been removed from packaging and displayed in a show case.

I've bought five "Grade B" items form them and they where in good condition as display items (three 1/60 and two 1/48 ) just only the boxes where dented and slightly scratched up. If a slight scratch has been found on the valk, they would mention in the listing, It depends if your picky about having pristine boxes or slightly dinged up ones for a slight discount (and it depends on the financial situation that you're currently  in as well). 

Curious to see your HMR VF-1J Armoured valk upon getting it @sh9000.
