i just ordered w my private proxy guy for the RVF-25... i'm still holding out on updates for otacute bc i have a vf25f on pre-order like a few on here do.

update: just paid and shipping out wed EMS! woohoo

So you paid otacute?

Hmmm.. I don't think I had that option back then.

Anyways, Good luck!~

IIRC, the shipping options were for the USPS (Priority Mail, parcel post etc)

Awesome deal for a VF-1D from jvmacross!

Got my NY shipped notice! Woot!

Damn, didn't get a chance to per-order the S parts for luca, but I did snatch the Michael S parts right before they went out at NY...! Hmm.???Wonder If they will reopen at midnight?!?

Log out of your NY account then log back in. It's glitch in their site wherein all products look like they're sold out.

529 HK dollars or about US $68.

Since I can't see Dark_Ghosts images can someone tell me if the crotch piece is now cast in two different colors? On XTLs image the area is rather nebulous.

Looks like the same color as the ones on the F and S Super parts

Anyone still looking for a TV VF-1S non anniversary?

¥15000 plus shipping.

HLJ's daily sales today has listed the VF-19S Emerald Force for a pretty decent price

And for anybody who still doesn't own the Macross Quarter, it's been lowered slightly more

Thanks! Ordered the Quarter. Would never buy it at $200 or any amount close to that but at $91 its a steal!

Just cancelled my otacute and hobbyfan preorders but kept my NY one since I paid for it as soon as I preordered which was dumb on my part so anybody still looking to purchase, keep an eye out on those two sites. Totally forgot about different preorders all coming out the same time.

I used a few coats on the surface where the engines and the wings meet. It basically "locks" it in position.

So, quick question. Is there some way to stiffen up the engine rotation joints? I mean, short of trying to squirt superglue in the joint and smearing it everywhere.

The engine pivots on mine literally aren't strong enough to hold up the packs.

I used clear nail polish on mine.

Sorry guys! I may have purchased the last one.

Nice haul! Have you handled a masterpiece cyclone before? If not, get ready for an exercise in extreme patience. Awesome engineering though.

Buy the 3 pack. That's what I have. Just noticed that the stands are on preorder only. Are they changing the tips?

Thanks for the info guys! Yeah, I know that ishop2go's page been super slow lately. They mentioned on their Facebook page that they are in the middle of an update or something. They did come through for 2 Valks though.

No problem! Want to help my fellow MWers find their missing Valks! Still looking for a V2 VF-1D if you know of one. Here are my recent purchases minus the 2nd VF-1A Max TV version which is still on route.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Picked this up for $260 MISB.

2 Max TV versions? Do you have plans for the second TV version?

Not sure. I bought the second max thinking that ishop2go would not be able to fulfill the order. The second one is on route as we speak.

Where did you get the TV CF?

Got it here. The VF-1A CF was the first Macross toy I got as a kid. I prefer the brown feet and whiter whites to the movie version.

Just bought 2 VF-1A Max TV versions, 1 VF-1A Kakizaki TV version, a VF-1S TV version with option parts, a VF-1A mass production TV version and Super and Strike parts non anniversary. Any one looking to sell a VF-1D version 2? c",)

Was the crotch joint able to hold the weight? I remember i had to modify my alto a little so that it would be able to support the fast pack in battroid mode.

If you're going full crotch thrust like mine ( that didn't sound right =P ) , then yes it supports the weight. If you display your crotch vertically, then forget it.

I guess Battroid just works better with the stand huh?

Yes sir it does. Well, at least you can get it do stand with a little bit of patience and the right positioning unlike some other Kawamori designs *cough* Aquarion *cough*...

Should have been more specific. The shoulder pauldrons kept popping off while changing it back to gerwalk/fighter mode. Every so often I'm able to do it without them coming off but not today. c",)

The packs make battroid mode top/back heavy just like the Alto. Needed to balance it just right so it would topple over.

Man, I forgot what a bitch this thing is to transform.

Just in

Funny question, for anyone who has a set already. Are the wings set permanently into a drooped position, or can they be made level?

I know the droop was shown in the take-off scene from the movie, but Macross 30 definitely had the packs mounted so the wings were level with the normal wing.

Drooped permanently.
