    I noticed a big blotch of glue near my rear right landing gear. But otherwise its a 'like' all around.

    No, I meant it in the sense of; I purchased a v.1 VF-25 with the armored parts, and then the v.2 came out fixing all the flaws of the original. And at the time I had paid lets say $350 for the v.1- but now I wanted the newer, and I cant afford to buy it without selling the older one. You get it? I wouldnt want the same thing to happen to the VF-171 right now becasue I just got one.

    I Just got one. The same thing happened to me with the VF-25's- just got them, then v2's were announced. I barely broke even.

    I hope that there isnt truth to a VF-171 reissue. I'd be very upset if so.

    I hear you, Im not mad about it. I've had good communication with NY, theyve been real good to me. Im just surprised, because it's never happened to me before. I appreciate the feedback.

    NY confirmed to me it did ship. According to USPS, EMS is holding it up. I'd like to get this by Friday/ Saturday. I got a Fedex from NY last week and it only took 7 days from the date of order. This EMS Express is past 6 days now. Not NY's fault, nor the USPS. I just want my stuff. And Ive gotten stuff from Japan and China previously, but have never experienced this form of delay.

    I want a VF-27 but not from an international seller, and not for more than $250.

    I shouldve shipped Fedex. Thanks Mommar.

    And I thought I was the only one. I know how to play chess!

    OK so I have a purchase en route to me from NY, and it says that under: Express Mail International® Origin Post is Preparing Shipment. I called customer service at the USPS and they say that my purchase is still in Japan and that it should be underway soon. EMS has had this since the 22nd, has anyone else experienced this? How much longer should my wait be before I get this? Thanks

    Im afraid I may go through that when my 171 gets here in a few days. But this YF-29 is totally different like you said. Grrrrrr, I dont want to go to workout!!! I want to play!!!
  14. blackconvoy_D01
    What could it be? Well its not Christmas Crunch, LOL - Too bad I have another 4 hours of work, then the gym, then family time. I cant open it until almost 9pm EST (sigh*). Big thanks to my wife for the awesome gift(s).
  15. blackconvoy_D01
    well said. Its easy to get in-over your head in collecting.
  16. blackconvoy_D01
    Depending on what they paid, I'd say. Right now I dished out $250 for a VF-1S Hikaru and got Strike Parts too, so Im good at the moment.
  17. blackconvoy_D01
    I have to agree. But "happy customers" should shop around more for their buck. For example if it cost me $240 with shipping to get a YF-29 from NY. If I decide to resell, I may resell at $260-300. Now if you're in the states and you want in in 3 days, then pay me that amount- plus the $15.00 in USPS Priority shipping to get it to you in contrast to paying $240 for Fedex Express shipping and still waiting nearly a week to get it. Sometimes you got to pay extra to get what you want when you want it. I do not condone however Buy Now Prices of $300+ from either local or international sellers who use Amazon or Ebay for quick sales that appear to be safe and convenient.

    Hi, Can we have a health and fitness thread (if we dont already)? If yes, where would I start it? Thanks

    <p>On second thought... I wonder if they'll fit on a standard chess board?</p>

    Any news on a VF-27 1/60 reissue? I want to pick up a Brera version in the coming months. Prices are a bit out there IMO: http://www.amazon.com/Chogokin-Macross-Frontier-Lucifer-Valkyrie/dp/B002V8GXA0/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1366636359&sr=1-2&keywords=vf-27 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=%22vf+27%22+Lucifer

    I find that funny too. I'll use Cowboy Bebop and GITS (Series) for example. A plethora of original music, both licensed by Bandai, both with multiple OST's? How can Macross' be that much more difficult to license? But yes, the HG thing puts a stumbling stone in the way of progress.
  22. blackconvoy_D01
    I agree, the Kickstart concept could've helped in forcasting production, demand, etc. As far as the game itself, I'm a bit SDF'd out.
  23. blackconvoy_D01
    I'd imagine that certain other entities would like for that to be true.
  24. blackconvoy_D01
    $430 shipped on a VF-0S w/ Ghost (facepalm)

    I ducked out in 2011 for personal reasons, but now Im back in head first. IMHO-The state of the fandom seems consistant. I see buyers of product, discussions of what the future will hold. I think one thing that need to be considered is that Macross isnt like Gundam- in the respect that they're will be a new series every one to three years apart. There was a 7 year gap between Flashback 2012(1987) and Macross Plus(1994), Then 7(1994), to Zero (2002). There's filler product inbetween, but I'd say that Macross Fandom's state is better than the Voltron, Robotech, and Thundercats Fandoms. Its been my personal observation that Macross thrives because US fans are willing to purchase high end products and pay for international shipping, biting their thumbs at the US license holders, funding the producers abroad. Is it always enough or sustainable, probably not- but it really defines the level of dedication the Macross fandom does have.
