Managed to get a preorder in from Anime Japan Geek. Has anyone used them before?

Thanks for the heads up. Got mine this way. 

Might need the armor. 

Tempted by the VF-1S Roy, but having the Hikaru S I may be fine. 

Got mine today. It's beautiful. 

I want one. 

Yeah, I went to order some at 5:30 AM this morning and they were all gone.

I ended up preordering with Anime Export instead.  :/

For someone who missed out on the Missile preorder, what would be the best place to try to get it at this point?

Thanks in advance.

Got it at NY when it was 25K.

Nin nin has it in stock for $257. 

Got it at NY when it was 25K. 

Overslept. Is everywhere sold out or are there some places that have yet to put theirs up?

So are both web exclusives or just the packs?

Haven't checked the forums since the release of VF-1J and I find out that there's a TV Max VF-1A and a DYRL Hikaru VF-1S coming!

Man, I'm going to be broke. 

Very nice figure. I like mine. Though it's one of my least favorite of the VF-1's.

My only complaint is the legs don't like to stay attached to the swing bar when transformation. The latch keeps coming undone. 

Got mine today from Amazon Japan. Looking forward to busting it open. 

Mine finally shipped from CD Japan.  They got the shipping quote wrong the first time and needed me to verify the adjusted amount.

Managed to get an order in with CDJ three days ago. Shipping is currently processing.

Woke up around 4 AM and saw HLJ was sold out so got an order in at Amazon Japan. Nice and easy. 

I think I might need to get this.

VF-1J Hikaru is one of my least favorite VF-1 color schemes, but this looks really nice.

I think I might need this.

I'd consider it, though shouldn't be a light gray but darker than the Movie VF-1S Roy?

I take it you never saw Mac 7. Well miriya uses hikaru themed flight suit in the show. I guess it was a way to pay homage to the original series. But like David Hingtgen said, it would be nice if they re-sculpted the pilot figure instead of just throwing a hikaru pilot in there.

Actually the outfit reversed the red and the white, as there is no blue like on Hikaru's.

Looks like I'm going to be buying some new Valks. I never thought they'd do the VF-22 Max & Millia, and here we are. I've wanted those Valkyries for the last 13 years or so.

Randy

Well I didn't think they'd actually do it but they did, they hooked me back in. I haven't bought any Macross merchandise since the 1/48th Max & Millia were released, now they're producing new 1/55 scale - I'm back!

I have all of the reissues from a few years ago, so I can't see buying these two. If they do some that weren't reissued or were never released to begin with, then I'd be game. But as it is, these are too expensive and I already have them.
