Add @yman1437 to this list. Quick transaction, awesome shipping care (protection, padding, the whole shabang). And was kind enough to sent outside the US =)

Amiami kept giving me a strange error:

 

An error has occurred.

You can purchase 1 for [DX Chogokin VF-31S Siegfried (Arad Molders Unit) "Macross Delta"(Pre-order)].

Go to your Cart

Has there been any news about the Ghost Booster?

Man, I'm not really a fan of the forums these days, and there seem to contain lots of spoilers for the movie... Does anyone know when... err... the Bluray will be available, or other means of distribution?

Thanks

Hello there and welcome!!

I think it will always depends on your wallet :-) If you can take it, I would recommend Arcadia (Macross, Macross Plus, Macross Zero) and Bandai DX Chogokin (Frontier, Delta) lines

Those are 1/60 scale Valkyries (not Varitech, hehe)

I would personally recommend VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, as it will fit everything. Macross SDFM, Macross Dyrl, Robotech.

Elegant, classy, iconic and also important, available. Check amiami and search for "Arcadia Macross"

Are you doing a RVF-2??

I have personally only ever used it on the Detolf glass shelf. Similar glass of the same thickness would work just as well. I can customize it to what ever glass shelf thickness you are dealing with if you would like to try it out.

Heh, thanks, but I'll trust the Sweden on this one. Do you (or anyone) knows what's the glass thickness of the Defold Curio Shelves?
EDIT: So I can get similar glass to use Yeti's adapter

@ChaoticYeti btw.. that Defold base or adapter, will it work with any piece of glass? How thick does it have to be?

Thanks

After careful consideration, I've decided to frame this in a more positive way

Guys, do you mind sharing some cool "action" poses of your VF-31 in Battroid mode? Basically anything that's not the typical "I'm just here being cool" - rest mode.

Thanks!

Yeah, Wotafa's video is a big help too. Check at 27:56 where he explains the hinges.

Thanks a lot!

Wotafa had a perfect shot an explanation about the whole wing root mechanism. Draken III is indeed plastic origami

hey man,

Yes, "hinge" would be the word missing. Also I've seen the videos a couple of times, but still unable to see those for Battroid

Morning chaps,

Would anyone be kind enough to share a picture with the details of the wing articulation in battroid mode? (the very complex one that has 2 metal circles nearby)

I've been struggling for a couple of hours, and I'm pretty sure that I got it wrong, as if I continue, it will break some other wing articulation .

Thanks!

So... would it fair to say that throwing a 42k valk into the market is actually lowering the prices? =(

Well, all of those ship internationally, but they do have close to Japanese retail prices.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Not only to get a better japanese price, using a friend there, I could strip the store tags and make it fly under the radar here for customs (import tax is murder here)

So as you mentioned I usually search those sites, but was wondering about japanese only sites that I'm not checking (because no itl shipping)

hey folks, just a tad off-topic:
 

Besides the Yahoo auctions, Arcadia and Tamashii itself, what are other "for japan only" websites where you can purchase Macross stuff?

Thanks!

has nothing more than some extra printing

If you have nothing, then it's a lot of printing

Right now my options are:

- Second hand "regular" for 50k
- Brand new "premium" for 40k

Say for the sake of the example, that I have a very friendly japanese friend =]

Would I be able to pre-order it from outside japan, using his japanese address? So he can later send it to me...

(Would I save some bucks? Not sure what's the fee from NY)

Thanks!

Is there a way to preorder this outside of japan?

Just to double-check, that Arcadia Online Shop is for Japanese market only, yes? No international shipping I'm guessing...

As someone who was unable to get a VF-0 (any), this is welcome news. Yes it's going to be expensive, but right now a VF-0s second hand is going for 50k yen.

So if I'm paying something similar to that, then at least I'm getting it new and "premium"

Ok. Just giving everyone a headsup. There's one in YJA right now. Bidding price as of this moment is Y24800. Buy it now price is Y32000.

A bit off topic but...
What's your pipeline to get stuff from the .jp auctions?
- Can you immediately ship internationally?

- Can you even pay? or everything is done by a "Friend living in Japan" ?

Thanks!

So if you're caught, do you get tossed into a Chilean forced labor camp?

Didn't Han end up having to jettison at least one of his cargo shipments to avoid the authorities? 

I'm gonna be waiting by Pudahuel just in case PullToEject needs to toss some Arcadia or DX Chogokin out of the window ;-)

Depends on the rosters I get. But about once every other month. Always have my figures sent to hotels in the US. Customs back home always opens everything to see how much they can charge you. Thats  how another member ended up missing his VF-1S' gunpod....

Damn this hits really close to home.

Chilean, lost gunpod and usually get destroyed by customs fees :-)

I don't travel overseas as much as I want, but customs never looked into my bags. Thought you guys had an even better treatment.

Watching Saburo's pictures I've come to understand the concept of:

"Daisuki de daikirai"
