From what physical store were you able to buy Arcadia stuff?

It was Amiami in Akihabara

My recent hunt from Japan Trip, that SDF-1 take most of my luggage space!

Time to save up!

Got the konieg monster and 3 ladies

Chunky 1/55 showed up

With Jetfire

I am definitely interested on the VF-2ss

I still play the 1/55 from time to time, while other is mostly for show only and only transformed like once or twice or never.  Though latest VF-31 got really good poseablility

Definitely my top 3 favorite Valk's! I have three VF-0S's, someday if they do a reissue I'll get the Arcadia 0S too! 

I like the white paint of Arcadia 0s, but that is out of my budget atm.

FInally got vf-0s, my fav valk in the series

You are correct, after the VF-25F and 25S super parts, the hip armor was revised so that you have to pop out the compressor cover and it pegs in.

Ohh looks like the VF-25G superpart I got is the revised one.  It hard to know where you got the later revision or early ones.

I wonder if they'll do reissues any time soon or make an updated mold. I wouldn't mind getting some extra copies! The 25 is such a great looking plane!

With new Macross anime coming next year I really doubt they gonna reissue any Frontier stuff, I do like the VF-25 more than VF-31 though, but toy wise VF-31 is much improved over VF-25 era

If I remember correctly, the first 2-3 releases of the Renewals were a little more prone to have the floppy joints on the original run. Once they reissued them the joints were tighter imo. Unfortunately Bandai didn't reissue the VF-25G, but the reissued copies of the VF-25F and VF-25S were pretty good for me as far as tight joints go.  

In any case, if the joints are not up to your satisfaction I would use the clear nail polish or future polish trick. I did it to one of my VF-25G's and it worked a treat.

Thanks for the info! Is that why vf25g fetch higher price than s and f? Cos it only 1 run off?

a few recent additions from a trade deal. Cost me one of my VF-31J and what ever VF-31 variant is released next after Mirage but I'm happy! 

besides you can never have too many VF-1! 

 

Man that figma tank is pretty big!

That Sheryl is huge!!!!!

Yeah it is, only the 1/1800 SDf-1 or the 1/20 VF-1 can match it in size, 1/60 feels cute compare to her

My humble HMR display. Ignore the Batman in the background gotta find a spot for him 

That sdf-1 look gorgeous, much better looking than TV version, pairs well with 1/100 scale wise

Putting my Alto and Michael on the shelf

My Macross shelf is still WIP lol

Hmm, was it MISB when you got it? I'd bought  a BIB 25G renewal before and it wasn't super floppy (I don't think the previous owner transformed it at all though). Maybe the nail polish trick for the joints will help.

Yeah it was sealed and unopened,  I guess I need to buy nail polish to get joints firmer, it mainly the joint connecting to the body that is floppy

So I finally have time to open up the Michael renewal VF-25G, man its a floppy mess! (1 shoulder supper floppy, both leg semi-floppy) I don't remember my VF-25G V1 was this floppy, my Alto renewal version is solid as rock on joints, that definitely put a stop for me on getting luca or ozma renewal version consider how expensive they are to get grrrrr

I did stopped collecting Macross toys when I went to Camera GAS full on, now many years later I just stopped on Camera GAS early this as I am working full-time in the industry which use cameras almost daily (company's camera), it's different when hubby become full time job, so I am now back to collect Macross toy again, for me its totally worth it!

Btw my friend bought Sideshow Harley Quinn early this month and now the leg broke off, so its happens not exclusive to Macross

Still work in progress, need acrylic riser to put my renewal vf-25 on top of the model kit and a fancy wallpaper 

Finally got my vf-31f! When I compare to yf-19 it is a bit smaller, but the size of pilot is like 2x smaller! Aren't they all suppose to be 1/60 scale?

Well there was DX VF-171 Alto custom sold for less than 7000 yen, 1/60 SV-51 ivanov for 7800 yen, so yeah there is some good bargain there.

Got Michael renewal at good price and it's from local too!  So hard to find one at decent price.

The other two is from Japan, ironically one of the newspaper they used for wrapping got a big ad about travel to NZ, well the ad indeed landed on NZ lol

My fav are

1. VF-31, it surely nice to see bandai keep on improving, and fun to play with

2. 1/55 valks, they surely can handle roughy things better and super easy transformation

3. Vf25 renewal, cause I am such a frontier fan lol

I just started using buyee and it's been addicting, stuff in yja is much cheaper than eBay.

 I used to use shippingmalljapan before but I kinda like this buy then you pay as I don't want to deposit money for something that I might not use for a while, as the last time I used this proxy service is few years ago

1/60 SV-51 Nora sold for $510
