I know there have been different iterations of that particular Valk design but is it that popular?  I kinda like it but not enough to purchase one.

Can’t speak for its overall popularity but IMO it’s probably one of the more interesting Valks I’ve seen. I’d go as far as to purchase two, to display in different modes. So I’m in that camp who is disappointed that this hasn’t come out yet.

Toyswonderland is a 1/6th supplier @Gojira101  and @Corrinald as I have a pre-order for the Wandavision Scarlet Witch (second batch) and I got another 1/6th figure from them as well. The listing is for the solo DX GBP set and it's $175 USD. Located in Hong Kong and shipping will kill you as its pricy. 

https://toyswonderland.com/products/bandai-dx-chogokin-compatible-armored-parts-set-for-vf-1j-macross?_pos=5&_psq=DX &_ss=e&_v=1.0

Here's the proof to get the Wandavision Scarlet Witch (complete) to get it sent out to Vancouver, British Columbia.  $2,100 HGD = $328.19 CDN for the figure,  $453.60 HKD = $70.89 CDN shipping by EMS (I think) which in total $2,553.69 HKD or close to $43 CND

 

Well I guess the shipping is gonna be my late tax then. Sadly I slept on this and forgot the preorder date. The only place else I saw it available was Nippon Yasan but there’s was $210 at the time and I don’t think shipping was included but I may be wrong. Either way I’ll have one at a premium price.  Thank you for the response, I was a little stressed for a minute.

Has anyone here ever used https://toyswonderland.com before? Looks like they have it but I’ve never heard of the retailer. 

Well I hella slept on this. Hope another round of PO go up on this.

Never sure, but around mid-year during bandai's summer roadshow would be the next official bandai event..

No stopping them announcing earlier, but seems unlikely..

Thanks for the reply even if it’s a somber one. I want to stay off social media but my biggest fear is missing out  on this release and my Social media typically is the place I hear 1st about releases. Guess I’m just gonna have to stock these boards more.

When could next update be on this release? 

Had to order through AnimeExport cause my FromJapan order was cancelled and refunded. 

Well doesn’t sound promising now. Just paid FJ so fingers crossed. 

Anyone ever use FromJapan? I placed a PO but haven’t had any verification that it went through.

This is a shot in the dark but I’d really like a kit to finish my Macross Plus display. I was pointed in this direction and figured I’d give it a shot because my hopes aren’t high that we’ll get an official X-9 sadly. I while I can omit the VF-11 my quintessential display needs a YF-19, 21 and Ghost X-9. 

Any help greatly appreciated and hope to hear from someone. 

I don’t post often at all but I can supply feedback from other forums. 

Has anyone reproduced one of these kits? I feel like my collection will never be complete without one. 

Nuts was asleep.

I'd say there is a decent chance there will be some available for not much more than pre-order prices soon after release.

There also seems to be some info floating around suggesting they might do a re-issue sans the extra display stand, but I don't know that I'd count on that happening.

That would be great and I hope we hear a VF-1S announced pretty soon also. 

What are the chances this will go back up on the sites on release day. I saw Nippon Yassan had some but the prices was greatly inflated. 

Wonder what the chances are of getting this for someone who missed the Preorder? or should I just wait for the inevitable Roy Focker repaint.

This release might be the Valk that pulls me back in. Everything seems to lock I. Securely. I love the way it poses and feels nicely balanced.

I used to have the Bandai DX VF-25, 27, 29 and 31. Yes I sold them the 1st 3 because they just didn’t hold up for me. 31 while really nice I just grow attached to it. However with this YF-19 I feel an itch. 

I may have to wait till a release of a VF-1s though because don’t think I need to go back and pick up releases.

I do have the Arcadia YF-19 and Yamato YF-21 but those remain in Jet mode. I NEED me a YF-21 like yesterday and while your at it Bandai, pack in a X-9 Ghost with that release. 

Someone please tell me this is in the works. 

This all better lead to a Bandai DX YF-21 and Ghost X-9 is all I’m saying. 

My multiple orders deserve some display buddies. 

Now if there was only an inexpensive Blu Ray of Macross Plus.

if there's a limit to how many you can order and you try to go over that with multiple orders you look like a scalper. times like this though HLJ tends to be more understanding and will just remove the extra orders.

Yeah they pushed one through but I just cancelled it. Hopefully someone else will have a crack at it. 

Update: 3rd one got pushed through and I’m wondering if I cancel it.

Looks like one of the orders came through HLJ. Hopefully they won’t freeze my account for the other 2 I made out of frantic ness.

update: 2 of the 3 came through HLJ so cancelled one. 

Ordered 1 from CDJ for all the reasons that have already been said.

Why would HLJ lock someone’s account over multiple orders? 

I placed 3 because it didn’t seem like it was going through. Should I be worried? 

So I’ve put in 3 orders it seems on HLJ, crossing my fingers one or all made it through. 

No no confirmation email yet. 

1 was 5-7min before preorder

1 was time of 

and 1 was 5 min after start.

Waiting on confirmation, holding breath it seems. 

What’s advance search?

Dang man, we could have helped you get those hips tight again. I use either clear nail polish or future floor polish on the ball that connects the leg and hip together and it has worked out great for me over the years. there was also some other mod that involved rubber but I never tried that one, the idea was to add some friction to the joint via the thin piece of rubber that was added.

Yeah I know that future floor polish but it was never enough. The crotch piece never locked solid either for me. At the end of the day I realized that my true passion lay with Macross II & Plus though.
