rdrunner Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 11 hours ago, nightmareB4macross said: Hmm. So I was looking at Tabao and I noticed a few listings with prices as low as 65.00 (yeah, buyer beware). But some sellers have pictures of 10 DX in one shot. Tabao is very tempting but is it really true or worth it? For as much as I use a Google translator it still all Chinese to me. How does one order on Tabao to validate any prices? Thanks in advance to all. Do you have a link to the TB listing? But at that low price it's most likely a deposit for reissues (if they ever get reissued). 8 hours ago, Jwwu said: Don’t use Taobao for this. I prepaid in full many months ago for the DX Vf-1J and the Taobao store did not get stock for me. The super cheap entries now could be pre-orders for the VF-1J which hasn’t even had a re-issue announced. I think TB is really only good for non-official stuff with limited value. I would not recommend ordering any official figures through any seller on TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 23 hours ago, Ipsquitch said: The way Mandarake displays prices is a bit odd though. I check the site pretty often, and when the 1J is actually available for purchase, the price has always been right at 30K. However, after it sells, the listed price jumps up. I think that 35K price was a high watermark at one of their shops, but the typical price is down to 30K when it's their online shop selling it. That's usually how it is. However, in this case it really was being sold for 35k, as I saw that same listing with the add to cart button bright red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I know how the new site works. I was able to get a Miria 1/48 Vf-1J for 10000 yen and after it sold out, the listing went back to 25-30,000 yen. The most recent sold Vf-1J was 35,000 yen. It stay available for a few hours (it can cart it) before it gets sold out. Edited April 27, 2019 by chyll2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our wish to find a Yammie 1/48 Miria is out of the question now given the price of Max's 1/48 1J is asking ¥25k on Manda. The wife's valk is asking around ¥33k on Buyee. ¥10k for a 1/48 Yammie Milia is a steal now, however back then its still a big amount. Was that ¥10k price on Milia years ago as there's highly risk that it could happen now again @chyll2? Speaking of when the DX M&M valks do get released, I have a funny feeling that the missile set will not be included. I could be wrong on that too.

PteranodonMom Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I just got the VF-1J this week and I am in love! It feels so hefty and sturdy, like the huge toy planes I had when I was a kid. Definitely glad Max is on the way soon. Just need a Kakizaki! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kaki was sold out so i don't know how it was sold. Other 1/48 is Hikaru 1S at 8,000 yen. There were other 1/60 Yamato posted. Yes it is a steal. It has yellowing manipulator but it saw none on the the main body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still new to the Macross field and binge watching Delta (?) from anime sites so I have missed over all the deals.

Thanks for always helping out with nice finds! Dabbled into Macross in November 2017, but didn't get seriously into it until half way through Delta (halfway in April 2018 and also had Continuing Ed courses at the same time). Had to focus on the studies firstly and then watched Macross and finding deals when time allowed (somewhat like our feline friend Shizuka the Cat has done.) Being in forums (like this one) does make you to multi-task and crash learn at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left and middle were made identically; probably just the lighting making them appear slightly different. Right was the first one to be worked on and just given a simple panel wash, before my obsessiveness took over and made me put more work into the other two. Why did I make two identical? One for fighter and one for battroid, of course. 2 hours ago, no3Ljm said: @Lolicon, all you just need to do is remove the mold line on the feet. Besides that, it looks perfect.
