    Another fair point. We would not want this tool to be misused by scalpers, but then again aren't they doing it already? And correct me if i'm wrong, but is there usually a buying limit on pre-orders, like one unit per customer?

    Good point, this "buying collective" might have to involve a lot of management.

    Question is, Who will manage?

    Wonder if there are any scalpers in this forum jump in on this. :lol:

    Valid concern!
    Maybe only Strait Shooters or members with good Kharma?
     

    But then you might alienate some guy or girl that is new to the hobby and might worship a Valkyrie better than us moving forward?

    Anyone knows if theres still somewhere to preorder the 1S at a semi reasonable price? Tranks

    I check the thread every day for some news like this.
    I think you are gonna have to wait like me, or settle for a Max.

    Still haven't decided what I might do ^_^

    I GIVE UP!
    Gonna ask a few friends/collectors at Super Dimension Con and if no go, guess I'll just save up and pay double later.
    At least I got the strike parts secured ^_^

    The Hatchette Yamato 1/350 has my current interest.
    This has it's own problems securing all 110 issues.

    There was some shenanigans at the HLJ page.  The Max vf-1a was showing as in stock, and you had the option to add it to cart, but then when you did it errored out and said it was order stop.  This continued for like 30 min.  Now it is just listed as discontinued.

    I dunno whether they actually had some stock for sale at some point, or it was just a database error fighting with itself.  It seems more like that latter, but maybe a few lucky people scored a Max somehow.  I know I didn't :cray:

    That's one more option down.

    I can no longer find it at HLJ, could you by chance provide a link?

    Yeah, the missiles on the bottom of the fighter sucked. The question i had after that was 'do i have to do this 15 more times?' There seem to be 16 Cosmo tiger 2s in the finished product. 

    Sorry to resurrect an old post ^_^ I'm also working on the Hachette Yamato. 
    I just finished Vol. 3 and the Cosmo Tiger and wanted to check if the missiles needed to be done on the other ones.
    Doesn't look so, they look like they don't have missiles. 
    No way I wanna do that 15 more times either.

    Oh you collect star wars?
    You must have many "RARE" collectibles!!  

    When BB-8 branded water bottles showed up at the 99cent store a week after the force awakens trailer premiered, I LOL'd!

    Side Note!
    I live out in LA and lost a Bandai HCM VF-1J by placing it on the top of my display case right before the Northridge quake.
    Never store a Valk in Battroid mode ^_^ in a display case.

    There are still missiles for sale but they are fairly marked up.  It's my understanding that Bandai doesn't typically re-release TWEs.  So, I would take it while you can if you want to pay the markup:
    Amazon Japan (a couple Global fulfilled by Amazon):
    https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/offer-listing/B07PBWQXKH/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

    Kurama Shop:
    https://www.bandaionline.com/dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1-in-stock/

    Thanks, I might just do that!
    Silly as they retailed for like 4500yen?

    Does a picture exist of the VF-1S on the base with the strike parts? In fighter mode?
    I wanted to see what that extra piece in the strike parts actually does.

    Well finally pre-ordered the strike parts from My Kombini
    Still need to secure an actual 1-S Valk.
    I missed it in the thread if it was posted, will there be another opportunity to order the missile set?
