Does anyone know if the CF 1J donned in armor ever appeared in SDF? I vaguely recall seeing it somewhere but can't be sure. If it did, which episode would it appear in?
-
HLJ listing describes that there is a stand included, has this been confirmed?? Tempted to buy one, but already have the Yamato 1J with armor. Just want another 1J to put my FP on.
-
Why does it come with a 1j when it's clearly a DYRL SDF-1? Looks good though and pondering on it.
-
i saw the add to cart button, but gone......
-
Ya, i saw the word modeller and pork ramen in there too, and also the words plamo and display. In anycase it can't be a release date.

Why did the VF-1S go from ¥10,290 in 2012 to ¥16,800 in 2013?
locidm replied to YF-29 Durandal's topic in Toys
Yen rate in 2012: 77 yen per USD Yen rate in second half 2013 / 2014: 100 yen per USD Based on above: 2012: 10290 yen = 133 USD 2014: 16800 yen = 168 USD note that fluctuation in yen vs. USD isn't due to USD value swing, but due to yen value swing. Then, take into factor of Inflation rate of 3%: 2012: 10290 yen = $141 USD with 2 years of inflation of 3% 2014: 16800 yen = $168 USD Then, add on general increases in costs for factories in China, and the cost of the stand, and you're there. -

yes it's a 1/60 custom kit bash from DarrinG, not related to (and don't share any parts with) the Wonderfest exclusive. -

Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!

still haven't tried out the interactive disc..... one day! -
seeing this thread got bumped reminds me of my recent discovery that my Hi-Metal VF-1J has a yellowed chest plate now.... That's what I get for displaying it in my office instead of at home in display cabinet.
-
It says on the article it's renewal COLOR. I assume that means nothing's changed but the color.
-
The cabinet itself is sturdy but the shelves are not. Not only the metal rack wobbles, the shelves are also free to move about with clearance on all four sides and secured by gravity and friction only. You get what you pay for with a detolf. A real cabinet is much much sturdier. In a real cabinet, toys don't move when one opens it's door. Having said that, the detolf is a great solution to many collectors who would rather spend money on toys than cabinet.

Mystery solved! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-COL-6929&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dmacross%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Turn out to be Frontier character art cards. 10 packs of art cards + gum candy. Perhaps I should cancel my pre-order.. If only they'd throw in some Tenjin illustrations..

I wish for a bunch of 1/60 accessories including hangar, maintenance / transport vehicles, figures (characters and maintenance crew), diorama of SDF bridge, etc.. It should be minimal cost to make and they could charge a huge markup and I would still buy them.
-
I too am only interested in the FB figures. I wasn't interested in the VF-19K until I saw it in person in Akiba with the Sound Booster attached, soon after that I got the Yamato one, that was awhile ago. I like the McDonald scheme. It's anime accurate, and I like McDonalds.

Heat shield color and number are different though
-
can someone remind me which episode the Cavalier is in? I recall seeing the CF 1J.
-
Thanks for the guide! I bought a box of the expansion pack (Vol. 7) out of curiosity, as Macross Crusade didn't come into my radar until recently. One of the card I got was a purple card, I wonder what it's for? It's a C-015 Command card with Aisha on it. It says something about returning all enemy during the deployment phase (I can only read some Kanji and some katagana).
-
I just want the FB figures. Seriously I think Arcadia should release 1/60 diorama related accessories like maintenance and transport vehicles and other 1/60 characters. I would buy those over and over.

nice hell diver and Galient!

The review was fine and had enough information about the toy itself. If people have strong opinions about what a review should contain, why not write his own? Even one doesn't own this particular toy, one can always review other toys the way one likes it as a statement to what one thinks a review should contain. Reviewers are doing this on their personal time, and most have no financial interest and doing it just as part of their hobby. While constructive criticism is good, I don't think it warrants complaints as I have seen here. I'd rather see a review where the reviewer is enthusiastic about the review as supposed to being worried about negative reactions because he's missing information or not stressing points well enough. When that happens, it's a job, not a hobby.

I wasn't trying to accuse blame and think less of people. What I was implying is that if I was in the shoe of the HKC staff processing your case, frustration isn't unwarranted. Consider that the HKC staff knows nothing about you but the following: 1. customer bought valkyrie at drastically reduced price which HKC is trying to get rid of stock for. 2. customer did not like the valkyrie and requested refund/return, which the staff agreed to and provided instructions, despite, as aaajin described above, such practice is usually a big no no in Hong Kong. Return means loss of money. 3. customer came back and wanted a postal code, which doesn't exist. I don't disagree that the case could be handled better. What I said was that I don't blame HKC for not responding because the facts above don't make a strong case for an ideal customer for a small business like HKC. No high horse, no blaming, no personal attack.
-
Hong Kong addresses have no postal code. Not every country work like yours. HKC must have read your email/accusation and thought less of you and thus never replied, and I don't blame them.

Awesome, makes me love my Zentradi soldier that much more! Thx!
