Correct that your purchase of ¥10,000 must be from 1 store to be elegible for the ¥3,000 shipping discount.

Also a word of warning. Some seller will only ship to your billing address in case of fraud.

I'm having some trouble with a seller right now as I made an order for a work friend to be shipped to work addressed to her, and the store said they cannot proceed to protect against fraud, so I had to email back and ask to have the shipping updated to my billing address. Haven't had confirmation yet, but my order hasn't been cancelled yet either - which is what happened to the 1st order I put in for my work friend. We used her credit card, but all my Rakuten orders use my billing address so that didn't work and the store cancelled my order.

It's not all sellers though. My own order I put in which had my work as the delivery address worked fine, and is currently on route to me via EMS. Only paid ¥300 shipping!

Thank you! this is very helpful information. there're indeed times when the shipping and billing addresses are different. it's good to know this in advance.

Is it easy and free to return to Mandarake items that arrive damaged?

Something that I haven't figured out is whether all purchases must be made from the same store to exceed 10,000 JPY, assuming each item is less than that?

Or can purchases from different stores be combined?

Free International Shipping up to 3,000 JPY

Thank you. I went to the Rakuten original listing, used Google Translate, and the word Used came up. Yeah, so most likely it's used. No actual pics, so it's too much of a risk.

Thank you! This is very helpful!

I've been thinking of buying these two items but the problem with Rakuten is that the ads are often not very descriptive, so I'm sure if it's really what I am looking for.

Is this the GE-55? Is it new or used? I'm not sure:

Is this the DYRL blu-ray? Is it new or used? I'm not sure:

i hope that they remove the weapons bay at the top in the VF-30. it just looks too weird to me. i like just about everything else in the YF-30. or at least that should be removable like the sound boosters for the Fire Valkyrie.

The Lego parts that I want seem to be all over the place. Which Bricklink.com offers the best and widest selection at a low price? I think that stores with the most bricks don't necessarily have a good selection. Ideally, I'll like to buy more from a single store to save on bulk shipping.

Thank you!

I built a Lego version of an original design I called the VA-4 Peregrine. It is a VTOL Attacker designed and tested at the New Edwards Test Center on Eden. I intended it to be a contemporary of the VF-11 and the VA-3. I have a gallery on Deviant Art that has lots of pictures if you are interested. http://jtsilversmith.deviantart.com/gallery/45823764 Tell me what you think.

i like the fact that yours includes a minifig. if it's a VF-1S i think it stands a good chance at Lego Cuusoo!

i found the cost price for this model. it's about USD 1000.

i just found out that one VF-1J design has reached the review stage at Lego Cuusoo!!!

Am I the last to know?!

Thank you! I am so excited. But I think that this is going to take me a few months to complete.

Does anyone have an instruction manual for building a Lego SDF-1? I guess I need a rough guide and I'll modify it accordingly.

I'm keen to build one too! How much would this attempt above cost approximately?

I'm also wondering how much this one would cost:

How much would this one approximately cost for the bricks?

What's a cheap and good website to buy Lego pieces for a Macross Lego custom? Thank you!

I'm hoping to build something similar to either one of these models. How much would all the pieces approximately cost?

Thank you!

Awesome work team! Looking forward to the Con lots. It's been a long wait. I read that there's an early bird raffle. Are there any other raffles for attendees?

Hi everyone,

Please refer to the picture for models and prices.

I also have a Robotech Macross Toynami 5 Inch 1/100 Scale Fully Transformable Roy Focker's VF-1S Veritech Toy for sale.

Thank you all for the fast replies! Sorry for my late reply as I've been tied up with some other stuff.

I'm really hoping for a 1/250 so that I've something to display my Bandai 1/250 fighters with. I'm thinking of a hollow 3D model.

Sounds like Shapeways is not a sensible option. I think there should be a sensibly priced manufacturing option for a plastic toy. Sounds like I should contact my China friends to find out what are some better options since most plastic toys are now made in China.

I'm thinking of hiring a 3D modeler to design it for shape ways. I already have some 2D designs of specific parts (like a kit) that probably can be used by the modeler. How much should I expect to pay the 3D modeler?

How much should I expect to pay to Shapeways for the production of a 1/250 Promeheus/Daedalus/ARMD? With color if Shapeways can color the plastic for me.

Is anyone able to design a 3D model of the SDF-1 Daedalus Prometheus ARMD, in 1/250 scale? I'll like the whole SDF-1 but I think it'll be too huge to display at home at 1/250.

Can shapeways print this 3D model? If not, who can and for approximately how much?

Thank you!

Is there going to be a buy and sell section? It'll be fun and I have Macross stuff to sell. Newcomers and kids might be happy to bring some Macross toys home.
