spacemanspiff Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I'm really happy with these pieces. Real quality in these Macross lines. I'm looking forward to getting the missle pack for the DX VF-1J and hopfully a Super Pack. Edited April 30, 2019 by spacemanspiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont be disappointed. I enjoyed the Avengers movie. Confusing at parts, but it was enjoyable. I was amused that Tony Stark mentioned the EPR paradox. Yay quantum mechanics.... or rather, Einstein's opposition to quantum mechanics being a complete theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're in the US, you'll pay Y35000 only. If you click the English link on the top part of the page, the price will show Y35000. Edited May 1, 2019 by no3Ljm living in Japan pays tax.

Duymon Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 That Max 1A is looking really nice. I wonder which color schemes will be tamashii exclusives down the line? (Kaki 1A? Max / Milia 1J?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree as well. That was the worst I’ve ever seen. This pictures really make me sad I couldn’t get one, even though I had one in my cart at 2 different stores moments after sales started.

Chris I mean, you could still get one....with a bit of a premium price. I totally understand not wanting to. Personally, I had to pay a small premium for Hikaru. Better than what prices are hitting for VF-1J now and what I presume Max will get to some time after release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think the Bandai made the head laser a bit weirdly too long from these pics posted at TD... http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=279440&pid=8088640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 If it was too long, then it will have the issue like the DX YF-19 (Full Set) with the busted antenna (however in the bottom if the styro tray not on top). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatsing Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Looks ok to me, but would it get snagged in transformation? I'd still buy it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 That laser does look a little long. Maybe the laser hinge is on a slider that moves back and forth to allow a little extra clearance when transforming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatsing Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I like that Bandai made the VF1J horns on ball joints rather than the typical rotating disc so you can pose the lasers on the head in weird poses. The laser could be on a retractible hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1J for 35k. Hurry! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1103292917&ref=list&keyword=マクロス Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 35K seems steep O_o ... that's literally the cost of my two Max 1A preorders before shipping. I could understand the premium for a mega-hot tamashii exclusive like the 31A but not a main-character mecha that has the highest chance of being reissued.
