I love that shot! It's got DYRL hands on though! If you re-shoot, please consider using the bubble hands as seen on TV? LOL. -

One of Saburo's photo had a 25 with tornado pack on. Seeing it motivated me to finally open up my tornado pack after too many months. So thanks Saburo! I had fun putting it together tonight. -
Looks good!

I was hoping to see some in hand pic already with the pods properly attached.

While we are waiting for the VE-1 preorder, more phone pics of defender Comparison with Yamato defender I recall someone few pages back claiming HMR has the first with movable sensor? Yamato has it too! Come to mama

AE has been more than solid for me on new releases/preorders. Packaging has been fine too. I have been their customer for 9+ years and have never had a problem with pre-orders. It's the used "ONLY ONE" item that you should be weary of. I'm sure AE do not deliberately sell substandard used toys, but their source of used toys is definitely not the best. I'm 4/4 when it comes to having issues with their used toys, AE took care of 2/4, and I was able to fix the other 2 myself and didn't bother contacting AE, though this is a few years ago.

Tamashii webshop cutoff date is 9/20. My guess is most shop just sell a certain quantity and closes pre-order when that number is reached. http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000116684/

Has anyone else bought through Zen Market before? I've never heard of them before today. Buyee's service doesn't extend to Arcadia. WIth Zen Market, don't forget the payment gateway fees, from the fee summary page: Are there any payment gateway fees? Payment gateway fees depend on the payment method you choose. - For payments made by credit cards, and debit cards (via Stripe) the processing fee is 3.35% of the payment amount. - The Alipay processing fee is - 3%. - When paying via an international bank transfer (SWIFT wire transfer), JPY 2,000 is charged by our bank and there will probably be additional fees charged by your bank or the intermediate bank. These fees are not disclosed, therefore, it’s not estimated beforehand. So add 3% or 3.35% on top of total.

Actually, i believe it's free domestic shipping from Arcadia. THis is what it says when you add to cart from Arcadia website: カゴの中の商品の合計金額は「53,784円」です。 現在、「送料無料」です！！ That means the 53,784 is the entire cost. Free shipping now. Not sure if the free shipping part will be removed later though.

Looks like Arcadia site preorder is now active...... no other site has it available yet?
-
Saburo, how is it possible that your pictures look better than the real thing? I was pleasantly surprised by the Super Pack, that I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Here's mine
-
The new payment scheme is being rolled out in regions. I know at least the Middle East customers are on the new payment system. I'm in USA and haven't noticed any changes.

I have two photobucket accounts, and only the one where I've used more frequently (with more pics and links to it) had issue (the issue being that on "3rd party" site like MW I get the "please update your account...." message instead of my pictures). The pictures from my other account are showing fine on MW. All pictures can be viewed and downloaded no problem if you go to photobucket to view them. Based on that I assume it means if you have more than X pictures being linked to 3rd party sites, then you'll be asked to pay the $399 annual fee; the 3rd party linking is free until you hit the threshold.

VT-1 really is the only thing I really want. I assume Max 1J is coming after Milia. After these 3, I think I'm done with VF-1s!
-
Lol of course. Read your previous post hours ago and didn't see this until I've posted the above reply. The setup looks great and is indeed huge! Looks like some photoshopping was involved to add the sky background. What about the overhead wires?
-
Fantastic work! I love it. Mind sharing how the roads and sidewalks are done? Also do you have a background in there or is your diorama actually huge? I have a hard time distinguishing where it ends! The overhead power lines (if real and not background) really makes it convincing. If you don't mind sharing an overview of your setup that would be great. I have a temporary rail layout in N scale using similar buildings, and also did some quick phone pics with HMR in it posted in the strike a pose thread. Nothing quite as fancy as yours!
-
Great guess! Spot on! The mini-bus is from Hong Kong.
-
Thanks guys! It's actually my N-scale japanese rail layout, another hobby of mine. It is not something I put together with the purpose of having a fight scene with HMR, hence the wrong scale. Nevertheless, what's better than merging hobbies, right? Not sure if any of you noticed, there is something very non-Japanese in the last picture. It may take someone who's been around asia to notice though. Seti88, good idea! I only have 2 of those tomytecs built at the moment, when I finish more I'll try to take another round of shots (maybe awhile though). By that time hopefully destroids will be out!
-
Took a few more pics tonight
-
thanks guys! I could have gone to scale with the 1/144 Tomy Tech VF-1s, but then there would be no Zentradis to defend against. This reminds me, I need to finish building them.
-
Zentradis attacking. UN Spacey defending. Everyone else panicking. Scales aren't correct (1/100 HMR vs 1/150 layout).
-
This is actually talking about the fold booster that would fit the "19, 21, 22", not about planning of the YF-19, 21, and 21. The post also says March 2017 release.

I honestly think VT-1 is a much lower risk item for Arcadia to release than M&M. When I look at M&M, I'm looking at the pair of them, and I want both. But the cost of both is so much higher, even at MRSP it's quite a bit of money for many average joes like me. VT-1 on the other hand, it's a single release, it's a hero valk, comes with Minmay, has never been re-issued even in Yamato days (I don't think), and the only versions out there have shoulder problems, which means many current owners may double dip. I hope the KOs won't hurt Arcadia too much. It's tough enough for them to stay afloat as is. The toy market seems saturated with high end releases, the more choices out there, the harder the choices are for collectors to spend their money. Only hardcore macross fans will buy non-hero valks.

What is that dark colored VF-1 behind the armored 1J? Cavalier or a custom? Nice display!
