I cannot understand what's up with these shops. Don't they have some insurance set-up about such things? We discuss them as if they are ebay sellers running their business from their living rooms with Paypal being their only resource as to what they ought to do as a seller. If they cannot offer the same terms to international customers then they ought to shut down their international sites, and make them order through Proxy service agents, and see their sales drop like flies. (perhaps not for macross products, but certainly for much else)

If a Mass Effect rifle replica can be sold for $1000 - a piece that does nothing other than look authentic to the design - and if this still being made by ESP my guess would be $1500 ? The customer is the well-off hardcore fan so even higher would not surprise me- because tribute bands, the best use of these guitars i think, will probably not be able to afford this and Basara's guitar together anyhow :-)
-
totally agree. i really want the bird of prey variant.
-
Nothing, i was joking ! (although this time with the display box, any stores ought to check them if they are shipping them across the globe) It's just that it's been on preparation for 2 days !
-
Since NY are taking their sweet time handpicking a crappy QC copy to send me - lol - to those who've got it and who've also got a VF-4G: is the plastic as crisp? Or is it closer to the VF-11's, which i think is crisper than the VF-1? I may not be putting this across correctly but if someone understands do let me know !
-
actually those are its eyes. the yf-19 is supposed to have eyes beneath the lens. god knows why
-
I also thought about the possibility of v2 for the VF-11 before i bought them but unless they do a complete overhaul how much can they improve other than the hip joints perhaps? As a fighter it's perfect. Compact, streamlined and solid. More so that the VF-1 and nothing like the YF-19 where everything was loose. And it's not the most popular of designs that everyone will just throw 30,000 YEN on it ! However i would buy a v2 of the C and still keep v1 ! :-)
-
At least this one doesn't have YF-30 markings all over ! (VF-171EX)
-
Considering that last year i spent $400 on the VF-11C, it's okayish. I think most of us had been spoiled with how long the VF-11b had been on sale. It was available for less than $175 shipped, but about $250 is now what people spend at Yahoo auctions so you couldn't help it really. Yesterday i got an itch for the SDF-1 that i never got around to buying, but upon seeing the current prices, it went away... :-)
-
Is that a VF-1 in VF-25A colors? And does this mean that we'll spend the entire of next year wondering when pre-orders will open for this show's releases? And whether V2 will follow after the first wave? :-)
-
I don't think even the ever so available VF-1 went on sale before they sold out, other than that controversial VF-1J circus theme. The last YF-19 release was 4 years ago and this is the first update. If it goes on sale i will be really concerned about the future of that VF-0D !
-
To be honest for the price i don't mind having it as a fighter only figure! Although i did buy it full price on release. If it cost 30,000YEN - such as a VT-1 now - it'd be a different story. Hopefully an RVF-171 will be made with new materials!
-
I was being a bit ironic. Obviously i agreed too and those deluxe coneheads probably have the least sophisticated transformation ever! You just push everything in!
-
Why would you say this?
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I do prefer this version over the weathered GX-57 but i couldn't resist that and GX-58 as a set. If they release a companion GX to this i probably will follow ! :-) -
Is this still due for end of the month? Nippon Yassan have not sent payment requests yet, right?
-
To be fair it's only a handful of people who do not moan about how easy it is to break TF masterpieces. If we do not take the weak shoulder Yamatos into account, you can mess with the rest quite a bit without worrying. I have transformed MP-9 and MP-11 and with both the ratchet joints were a nightmare, as were those swing joints that had to be pressed upwards or downwards when they were supposed to rotate only, as were all those steps that asked you to hold parts in place by tension - the YF-21 does have a few of the above but somehow felt safer. Personally i'd rather pay more money for something more durable, even if it means getting a loose joint here and there.
-
After the brilliant Vf-19 visors i was hoping for something eye-catching on this one. It doesn't seem to be the case with this one, right? No, i'm not cancelling my pre-order, just noting.
-
Did you really expect it to be that easy? These sites are not Amazon !!! You have to ask through the contact details.
-
I think you are referring to this? -> http://www.collectiondx.com/news_item/91113/space_pod_crab_03_non_scale_model_kit
-
Wouldn't it be a bit irrational of them to re-issue the very same variant when they can bring in a whole load more orders if they make a Hikaru version this time? But that cannot possibly be before 2016 if 2015 belongs to the VF-0D. Until then Arcadia may be called something else. :-P
-
Extremely glad that they released these packs stand-alone. After the VF-27 super pack release, i thought they may do the same for re-issues.
-
I've actually been asking for this for at least 1 year ! Just when the YF-29 repaints were slowly curing my collector's bug !
-
Definitely more exciting than what could have been simply a VF-1 Max and Kakizaki reissue news. :-)
