  1. Thanks for the info. Sounded a bit like a prayer ! And again... were you crazy?! The might have gone into the Guinness book someday!
  2. No, Anime-Export. It surfaced on Friday. The listing said that it was new and everything looked fine, but i have told myself to expect cracked shoulders already since they cannot check that without half-gerwalking it! I probably won't go that far either, and probably just open the box's lid as if testing if it's been rigged with explosives. I just love the rainbow canopy. And don't get me started on things i had skipped in 2012 that i have regretted. Brand new VF-1D Virgin Road for $100, shipped, twice. Both times i thought they would always "be" there. VF-1J weathering and VF-1s Low Vis each for $180 shipped. Never let them go if you like them!
  3. I just wanted to say that i decided to buy a VT-1 in new condition for a fortune - most impulsive purchase this year, but i just want one now because tomorrow may never come, LOL - so considering just how many times an out-of-print item has been re-issued shortly after i have bought it, it is safe to assume the rest of you will be getting one too! I'm so scared to look at the shoulders though i may not even look !
  4. NOOOOoooooo!!!! I don't have any more space! Is the SVF-569 possible? That would be a perfect Ozma companion!
  5. No no no. You all got it wrong. It's just that last minute testing showed that with this variant, the wings' plastic disintegrates where it joins the tab so they are simply replacements. LOL! Dear god make it not be so!
  6. http://suprememecha.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/photos-dx-chogokin-rvf-171ex.html Why do i not hate the gerwalk? I actually enjoy all that technological paraphernalia poking out from everywhere! :-) They also give extra wings, so i guess no extra armour parts for this in the future?
  7. Is it too controversial to say that you've made the YF-21 look just as good or better than the updated YF-19?! The colour contrasts nicely with the weathering instead of just attacking your eyes (as is the case with my plain one, lol!)
  8. Let's just hope this was like a goodbye to Macross 7 for a while from Arcadia. (Although hopefully not for good!) I don't think i could take the next big news being a VF-17 re-issue!
  9. Let's just hope that they put these in Revoltech-sized boxes and not yet more of the VF-1 boxes they may have as a surplus.
  10. I'm sorry but according to this video.... this release has perfect QC.... hopefully they didn't have to start over a dozen times with new copies because the triangles were evaporating in the process!!
  11. I was thinking what a game changer it would be if Arcadia announced a VF-4G weathering and extra tampo-printing version similar to the work that MacrossJunkie had done. I think most people would take at least 10 minutes to digest it before coming here to post about it! And of course everyone would buy it. Even those who had no intention of keeping it! :-)
  12. Well easy: In cms ~ 30 x 30 x 25 for Yamato, or 50 x 40 x 30 for Yamato Zero or Plus, or 35 x 25 x 20 for Bandai renewal, x number of valkyries you own. Or, every 8 boxes, it's like you got another person in the room. As for my favorite VF-1, it's the VF-1J Mass, and the VF-1 weathering versions, perhaps Hikaru. With the weathering versions it's like they can only get better if they age and it shows :-) And with the VF-1J the stock photo below is why i spent $350 on it and i could not care less. It's gorgeous!
  13. And don't even mention the SV-51.
  14. I believe Mommar wanted to say that he will be opening them when he gets them. According to Tamashii.jp, it will be released on Friday.
  15. I have the original regular and to be honest my experience with it was not extremely fun. A lot of the transformation reminded me of Yamato's YF-21 transformation. Find the sweet spot here, push a bit those parts together for tolerance, pull that aside a bit for clearance. I wouldn't transform it again. - Also notice how many members said, "i used to have one, but..." - But it is worth buying just for the heft. It has TONS of diecast. It would be my first toy of choice against an intruder who tried to steal my collection. You can even hold it like a weapon without pricking your fingers.
  16. The VF-17D did have a VF-17S before it that most people bought just for the sheer novelty. And the fast packs were also released separately so they could be had without spending 30,000 Yen! The only reason i can imagine a japanese buyer getting one from Amazon is QC. If anything seems wrong, money back without a second word. HLJ would probably offer to replace, and the rest we all know about...
  17. http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AD-%E5%AE%8C%E5%85%A8%E5%A4%89%E5%BD%A2VF-0D-%E3%83%95%E3%82%A7%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3-%E5%A1%97%E8%A3%85%E6%B8%88%E3%81%BF%E5%AE%8C%E6%88%90%E5%93%81/dp/B00OASXV04/ref=pd_sim_hb_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NC5HY2DVQ9X1TGSV0N9 Amazon.co.jp takes no hostages!
  18. Actually yes. Full price VF-19 in 2011 = £185. Full price VF-0D in 2014 = £210. If anything, it is the japanese market that should be freaking out !
  19. Look at it the other way. Studio Half Eye's Dangaioh costs almost 4 times as much. If you think long and hard, you may feel better. My question is: Will they release the grey version too? Which i prefer infinitely more? And also will this be the price for a future VF-0A or S? Now this is where it gets a nauseating!
  20. To be honest i'm disappointed with the black blotches of paint on the chest to resemble holes. For the sort of money this will cost they certainly can punch them in, can't they? I don't mind spending 30000 Yen + if asked, but i want some production values approaching the VF-4G.
  21. Aquarion has a somewhat debatable Gerwalk mode. You can see it here at 3:44. Poseless but fun.
  22. Although they may have known they probably know it is a manufacturer issue as they do know their stuff, and thought someone who managed to navigate to the VT-1 from the other side of the world probably expects it. Personally i would be more annoyed if it had been sold to me by a private person!
  23. Obviously i'm jealous which is why i had to convince myself i shouldn't buy it! If they re-issue it it won't have the rainbow canopy which i love, so i too am on the lookout for a Yamato but on the other hand even if i got a solid copy i would still want a re-issue with good shoulders. Macross collecting can mess with your head!
