Unfortunately, they didn’t have the covers off. But honestly, I wasn’t impressed with the work and that’s why I decided to cancel my premium and go for the basic SDF-1.

Me too, i saw it live at wonderfest and pretty much it’s just a plain weathering paint job and glow in the dark paint. That’s it. Sheesh I can do that on my own. So I went with the regular version.

so kind of late to the game, but where is the cheapest one can buy the sdf-1 the cheapest?

Well, just cancelled my HLJ regular Miria..... lol , never thought I would ever cancel a Miria PO. Premium should be worth it! -

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I totally see your point Jenius, I too have been blessed with the QC fairy a couple of times with Yamato/Arcadia/Takara. And all those times I've gotten great customer service from the companies I mentioned. I am aware that QC issues will always be present when we are dealing with thousands of items mass produced. I guess my point was, that even thou I've had figures literally fall apart in my hands, I've acknowledged the fact that figures this expensive, delicate and fragile, are bound to not be 100% QC free, and that in this hobby, one is bound to receive a visit or two from the QC fairy at one point or another. -

I agree guys, the thing about it is in regards to most high end "collectibles" is that... well, they ARE collectibles, not toys, and are meant for display and the utmost delicate care. I think people have this misconception that the higher the price tag, the more they can withstand inpatient-rough/man handled transformations by inexperienced collectors. Hence all the bitching and complaining of stuff breaking in their hands. Giving toys bad ratings and so forth. I treat all my figures as if they were made out of crystals and do as much research before I even attempt to transform them. Hell, I even have some figures that I have never transformed because to me, it's not worth the risk. That, and well, I can't afford most of the time a second copy to mess around with. As a "semi-pro" modeler and customizer (if I can call myself that) lol , I've learned over the years that treating your high end collectibles with care, caution, and appreciation is a must in order to avoid hating or dishing out bad reps to companies, due to anger and frustration caused by the act of breaking your new "toy". Ok, rant complete.... -

Almost forgot about this bad boy! Regardless of what other collectors say about QC issues regarding him, I think he blows the 3P megatrons out of the water! His aesthetics are impecable!!

Wow it's been sometime since I've last posted here! So here we go! Lots to catch up! This has been my loot for the past 2 months! Didn't even get a chance to open my Draken & Megatron today!!!
-
you planning on getting 2 Mirages Saburo???
-
Dont do it!!! I know Benson was looking for one!!!
-
Really??? what was HLJ's opening price? Oh, i just saw an earlier listing for 1900 Yen, I got mine for 19440 Yen which is a whooping 4 dollars extra..... Grrrr!!!!!! JK , just glad that i got one!! even thou I live in Japan and most Chogokin end up for sale for retail price downtown Tokyo, I still get a kick out of scoring them on the PO's. Its that Macross-PreOrder-Rush!!!!!!!
-
You should be fine with HLJ. I've scored many Pre-Orders with them and usually it takes a little while to receive your confirmation email and have it populate on your private warehouse.
-
Got one thru AmiAmi this time around! I had HLJ open but couldn't find the link!!! I don't know why HLJ makes this so difficult sometimes.... but at least I got it cheaper thru AmiAmi!!!
-
Do you know know if you have to pay up front for them? Or pay when they become available ? TIA
-
so anyone know where the super parts for the Vf-31 are available for purchase other than NY? I checked the Bandai website but the pre-order windows ended a couple of days ago and i missed it. Boo!
-
Yeah, I used to buy from NY a lot when I lived in Tacoma Wa. around 3 yrs ago, and I remember their shipping prices being fairly good compared to HLJ. Now I live in Japan and NY's prices to either my APO AP (military post address) or my physical Japanese address are ridiculously expensive, so I quit buying from them period. With HLJ, I pay a 4% tax but i never pay more than 6-7 dollars for shipping AND I always get my stuff delivered in less than 2 days, including weekends...
-
Guess who got his valentines present in time???? This guy! Got it yesterday, but haven't opened it yet! Was too busy with some 3rd Party TF's that came the same day!! Will post pics soon!
-
What is it with this pink hue ??????? Is Arcadia not aware of this? Is the color intentional because I really don't see were they are going with this. I hate my armored VF-1J because of it. LoL i don't get it, how complicated can it be to mess up white??? Anyways, it's not a deal breaker for the VF-0S. Just got my payment request from HLJ the other day and should be here in the next couple of days. Perks about living in Japan, I always get my pre-orders delivered in less than a week!
-
Wow its still up!!
-
Sooooo. pre-orders start tonight at midnight? japan time??? anyone got info on this?
