According to eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/money-back-guarantee.html They cover you for "30 days after the latest estimated delivery date".....so does that mean 30 days from the pre-order's proposed release date? If so, then you would be covered. Also, you can only use one buyer protection service...either eBay's, Paypal's or your CC protection. Seems to me the only risk is that the seller will not be able to fulfill the pre-order, in which case, you would get your money back. And that can happen with any retailer. In short, unless you have not been able to secure a pre-order anywhere else, then buying one from an eBay seller should be fine.....especially if it is just a redundant purchase.

The pricing for original art will always be subjective. The pencil drawing above was hand drawn by Mikimoto himself...so it's unquestionably worth "something"....

Paypal covers you for 180 days after purchase date.... https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/security/buyer-protection

Heck no!

....there have been other cels from this sequence listed over the years and they were slightly different.....pretty sure it is legit....now way I'd pay that much for it though....I prefer my Minmay cels fully clothed!

Gotta have one for each of these!!!

I hope Masei comes through and fixes all of the issues that have been reported. Seems like if the helmets were shipped they have some amount of damage. If Masei does not cooperate and you paid via Paypal, you are covered for up to 180 days from the purchase date for any damages incurred during shipping. Assuming you purchased as "merchandise" and did not send the payment as a "gift", which I would hope no one did. Even with the issues reported, these are still great display pieces....I think it would look even better as a display piece if a blue tint was added to the visor, some "simulated" HUD graphics to the visor applied, and perhaps a blue LED inside the helmet.....

Is the visor molded in red or black? Are the side arrow graphics also orange-ish on yours? I would prefer a red "Hikaru"...but after seeing the pics I'm leaning towards a blue "Max".....

The One Macross Old School Toy to Rule Them All.....

Monster!

Anyone get the new Takani book? I think it is the companion book to the current Takani exhibit...not sure of any Macross content or if contains any previously unpublished material.....

What was the early bird on these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MASEI-911-MACROSS-MOTORCYCLE-MOTOCROSS-DUAL-DOT-HELMET-S-M-L-XL-/400824993222?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&hash=item5d530805c6&vxp=mtr

....plus more Arcadia releases like the Golden Kai?

Series 1 had raised skull and crossbones on the heatshield

I think they are OK if you can get them for 20 bucks or so.....at least they look better than Toynami's own so-called "Masterpiece" line....with that said...I'll probably only buy the TV Max VF-1A from the current set....

Kamjin Kravshera....

So did Arcadia mess up or are they throwing in an extra head?

Just received these in time for a VF-1X-MAS!!!......now I just need to decide which one my son gets first!

^LOL.... At least the VF plushies made it out in time for Christmas....I should be getting those just in time... The Makurosu will have plenty of sd buddies next year it seems....

Looks great! Can't wait to see it painted up. Will definitely get one once you give it your final blessing!

Perhaps due to the lack of any other alternative at the time, folks may have been more forgiving back then.....
