Close enough I guess. I know there was a 1/144 kit from Arii (IIRC) but Nichimo never did a 1/200 monster. Or Q-Rau or N-Ger. There is a gashpon Q-Rau now but still no 1/200 N-Ger.
You're right, Nichimo didn't do the monster, just all the valks, destroid and regult kits. The Monster model was available in 1/200 scale and 1/160 scale. I can't remeber if ARII produced both, or if it was ARII that did the 1/200 and IMAI did the 1/160.

I'll definitely vouch for Ken. He's always taken care of me, and my shipping was always on par if not better than other HK sellers. On Ken's checkout page, he gives you shipping in a box as an option which you have to choose, otherwise, you are going to get it in bubblewrap.
I always go with SAL shipping, and although it's a wait, I have yet to have anything damaged in shipping. I can usually pick up an extra Yammie for the difference in shipping cost between EMS and SAL, and ten years of marriage have made me very patient.

I'll pass on the VF-1, but I kind of like the 19. It looks a bit skunkworks-ish.

I don't know - the fact that they made that 1/100 monster, which is in a scale with no other toys (not counting models) from the series would make me think they might do a regult in 1/60. At least it doesn't seem that out of reach to me, although I don't know jack-crap. I too could say if it's over $60, I ain't buying it. But truth be told, if it's out there, I'll obsess over it until I buy 1, then 2, and if I get a deal on a 3rd.... and so on. Also, Yamato could probably get some mileage out of the design. I would imagine they would release the standard regult, then a couple months later, the heavy missile followed by the light missile, and finally the scout. I can't imagine they would put all the accessories for each type in one box, as they wouldn't be able to milk us dry that way.

I see Animeking has some up on Ebay, for $50/case of 10 and reasonable shipping. That's not too bad if you guys split 'em up.

It was either the old Revell Orbot/Axoid kits (if anyone remembers those) that I remember begging my mother to buying a few of on sale at the now defunct Zayre's department stores. I recently found one while moving with the $2.99 price tag still on it. Or, it was the old miniature die cast Matchbox destroids that were on clearance at Kay B Toys, again begging mommy for.
After Robotech went off the air in the mid-80's , that was pretty much the end for me, until I got Battlecry for my XBox, then discovered Ebay, then MW, then Neova, ToyWave, BullsEye Toys, the Valkyrie exchange , and a handful of others who had Yamatos, BanDai's, MPC's, Hasegawas......that I have been signing over my paycheck to ever since trying to find that little piece of childhood happiness

I just got my hands on some of these today. I gotta say I'm pretty content with what they give you for ~$5. Nice call on fixing the main gear though newca - that was pretty sad looking with the nose pointing at the pavement.

Hi Dante,
I've got a 1/60 VF-1D from which I could let someone borrow the canopy to make a cast of. I'm just a little hesitant as she's one of my favorite valks, and I'm not all that familiar with the casting process, or what my poor canopy might undergo. As long as it returns in one piece without chips in the black paint, or a bunch of scratches/fogging, I'll help you out.
Shoot me a PM

I'm in for 2!

Definitely throw my name on the list!

Does Jason have a closing date for this preorder set yet? Also, I thought Yamato was going to be releasing a second round of the VF-0S with this next batch of goodies. I held off first time to see about QC issues, but would be interested in picking up a couple now.....
-
You mean this pre-order thread?
EDIT: I guess it's more of a gathering interest thread, but I'm sure it'll turn into the official order thread eventually
That would be the one

Picked up my YF-19 from Jason yesterday. All I can say is for the $ we paid...definately worth the wait! Box and toy came in flawless-minty condition. Now...lets get enough people to have him help us get the Shin Ghost bundle at kickass $$!!!
qbert1976
I've already pinged him on that. He says he's still waiting for official prices from his source but will definitely be offering them. I've also asked him if he can get us any deals on the upcoming Wave SDF-1, so hopefully he's looking into it!! All I gotta say is Jason kicks a$$
!!I hope to see the new order thread going up soon (unless it's already up and I missed it)

Valkfan, I think your inbox is full. I've been trying to message you for a while now.
Is this full set a massive sheet that covers all 3 Alphas? I you run across another, let me know how much you need to get for it via PM as I've got a few old Alpha's that I'd like to freshen up!
Thanks
! -
Wow, a new marketing strategy. Look, it's got the price tag and everything!!
-
I was going to offer him $2.00 just for the reaction...... Maybe I just don't appreciate the rarity though.

Capt,
What are the odds of some of these being around after the holidays? I would so love to snatch one up, but it's real tight this time of year. Santa has to come to town for my kids - so Daddy's toy purchases have to take a back seat for a bit. Have you set an ordering deadline?
-
NightmareB4Macross recast them about a year ago. He may still have some lying around if you drop him a PM, or may be able to spit out a few for you.

It truly is great to be back here!
I wish I could find that hacker - I slice his fingers off and choke him with 'em

i guess you got a bunch of flakers on your hands.
not to be a jerk to anyone, but the sellers on this forum provide us with their services out of their love for macross, not for their love of money. when you flake on a pre-order, you're essentially stealing money right out of the sellers pockets since they had to spend their hard earned money based on your pre-orders, based on your commitment to purchase something you said you would.
please try to keep that in mind before flaking on one of these guys, whether it be neova, ve, samurai, or any of the other fan/sellers that hang here. its not fair to these guys and if it continues, i can gurantee we'll see less and less them on the forums and we'll end up having to get our toys on ebay...and ebay sucks. i realize we're all bargain hunters here, and we all want the most for our money, but its not worth douching someone over to save a few bucks.
Well put! Having a reliable vendor that gets you good prices, and delivers great service is some thing that I would hate to see f'd up by a couple of buyers that can't stick to their word.

If they made them, I'd buy them.... because I can't help myself

when i used the phrase "toynami supporter", it was for a lack of better words, sorry jenius.Âyou don't really NEED to swap heatshields
but you do. you have to remove the heatshield/canopy depending on the mode. take a look at it again, the heatshield and canopy designs are similar to 1/60s. you can't leave the canopy on and have it in battroid or the chest plate doesn't lock down. you can't leave the heatshield on and have it in fighter mode since it looks stupid...especially with the raised skull emblem.
i know i sound like a broken record here but the reason why i'm so unhappy about the $20 price tag is simply the fact that i can get a 1/55 for $20 more. think about it, the 1/55 is far superior in every way compared to this thing, its bigger, better, more durable, bascially more bang for your buck. so how is this thing not a rip off? how can anyone justify a $20 price tag? *shrug*
You're also taking the timeline factor out of it. For $40 today you might find a 1/55, but when they came out (rerelease), weren't they more like $60-$80. A couple years from now, I'm sure you'll find the less desireable 1/100s for $5-$10....
