So that comes back to the question on whether that's a reasonable deal based on the likelihood the figure is going to up in price over time anyway. What was it at launch for US buyers? 220 shipped?
-
Thanks! I've heard of this site but apparently they won't quote shipping. Any idea of ballpark figure from EMS or DHL? Anything around 20 bucks is still a much better deal than ebay.
-
Thanks! Can you point me in the direction of a good one that ships to the US for a decent price? I've never ordered from Japan before other than I believe Amazon a couple of times.

Can anyone give me a bit of advice on whether getting the YF-19 Full Set for around $280 USD is a decent deal? I've only recently come back to collecting a select few valks and would definitely like to replace the Yamato I sold around 10 years ago. I just don't know if this will inevitably go up in value or if there's another rerelease coming or what. Thanks in advance.

Wanted to thank everyone for the help a couple of months back. Somehow the latch finally popped and I could complete the transformation. Even stranger there wasn't even any apparent major damage from what I thought was a stuck connection.
-
I really appreciate the help but can't figure out how to pull the arms up. Honestly I've already applied a lot of pressure but thankfully not done any visible damage to the figure yet. For reference this is how much I can separate the arms currently.
-
When you say pull up, I'm trying to take the piece the arms are attached to and separate it from the base to rotate the entire assembly similar to what you have to do take it from the position it's in fighter mode to gerwalk or battroid. It just appears it's locked in and for some reason (may by having it in the wrong position?) it won't seem lift back up so that I can rotate it back to the right position. I'm willing to entertain taking it apart at this point but don't know how to proceed.

This is extremely helpful. I'll respond with bullets to keep things simple. 1. Your assessment of the image is correct. It's 180 degrees the wrong way but the stress mark as thankfully just a reflection. 2. I have tried relentlessly to turn the arms in either direction but they seem locked. Separating the arms from the body seemed like the answer because when they wouldn't turn I assumed it was because collapsing them against body locked them into place. 3. I've looked at the mechanism and tried to figure out how I would even disassemble it if necessary. I'd be willing to try that as a last resort. 4. I was just trying to figure out if when I collapsed the arms down that it locked them in place and there was some sort of way to unlock them. I watched the Scorched Earth videos which are fantastic but the battroid to fighter transformation makes it look super easy to pull the arms down which is not my case at all. My intention is to keep this guy in battroid if I can ever get there but two hours into transforming him it's gone quite poorly.
-
Thanks for such a quick reply! Here's a picture of it rotated and collapsed the wrong way. I cannot for the life of me separate it again to rotate the proper way so that the lock is located on the outside which is necessary for locking it properly.
-
I'm at my wits end and hope someone has an idea of what I can do. I was transforming my valk and not paying attention and going I rotated the arm assembly the wrong direction, putting the flap on the wrong side so it won't lock in at the top in battroid mode. When I tried to separate the assembly from the rest of the piece it will absolutely not budge. I don't know why it locked in in such a way but am willing to pretty much do anything. I couldn't find any info and have applied an embarrassing amount of pressure which has stressed the collapse mechanism but I don't think actually loosened it. Any help is much appreciated because I think I may have to abandon it to gerwalk forever otherwise.
