I do wonder if anyone here had ordered Roy from them, and has anyone been N-Y’d again? I stupidly did but have not heard a peep from them. I have fears that we will be messed about with. I can only hope that NY will prove me wrong. Roy is my last item ordered with them. I'd rather call it quits with the hobby then rely on them for anything moving forward. I don't think i have had as bad and distasteful purchasing experience with anyone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am one of the many who got NY’d with the SSP as well, and I hope that you will get your order from them very soon. On a less serious note, N-Y has achieved something similar to what google has done - people have started using their brand name as a verb, albeit for VERY different reasons....

Or maybe @Sanity is Optional??? I ended up canceling the order.

ScrambledValkyrie 116 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just snagged a Roy off of Amazon. I figure that may be about the best option for now. Looks like Buyee was going to run a little higher with handling fees, etc. I will probably pass on the 1D, but it's really cool to see Bandai making it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the Us, so i think shipping will be ok. I didn't see to get charged tax during the transaction, so that is a plus too. Thanks for answering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by some of the advertising Bandai did, it's actually not quite the same. They tweaked the mold slightly to more closely resemble the TV show. How successful they were remains to be seen, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

seti88 713 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) What i like about the SDFM valks main valks are the fact that each doesn't exactly look the same. They seem to have their own character. But still, all part of the macross universe..

I have been a Macross fan for more than 30 years, and I only found out today that there is actually a difference between SDFM and DYRL 1S heads. Not going to lie, I prefer the sharper lines of the DYRL version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The TV version does look more derpy. Throw the TV hands on the thing and it's starting to look outright clownish, lol! I'm going to flip the TV version if/when a DYRL version is released.
