    Wow, thanks! I definitely still need it.

    Note the shipping weight...this was a smaller item but I compared to HLJ's quotes for a similar item and these prices are still lower. I had a DX from sent from them with also very low shipping prices but those prices were from a couple years ago so I don't think they are worth comparing.

    No doubt about it! Like I said, even if you have a card that charges foreign transaction fees, it's still going to be lower than what PayPay charges.

    Seems on par or better than most places. Here is the last quote I got, which was last year: Shipping weight 500g FedEx International Priority 2,603 yen approx. 5 days EMS 3,150yen approx. 4 to 12 days UPS Worldwide Express Saver 3,453yen approx. 4 days DHL Express Worldwide 3,589 yen approx. 5 days

    If you are letting PayPal do your conversions, you're doing it wrong. Get a CC that has no international fees (or even one with fees) and let them do the converting because they will give you the current actual rate. This has been discussed many times so just look into it.

    Yeah, I think they offer the best overall value for Macross still. You probably know better than most but I even think the PF are a great deal considering how long it takes to do those details yourself. The time it takes is worth more to me than they charge and they do a better job than I have patience for. I personally just don’t care about those details much so I only get certain ones. But I also think most Macross toys from Arcadia and Bandai are a better value than most other toys out there in general.

    I like low prices as much as anyone. But I think Arcadia provides some great value still.

    The good thing is Arcadia seems to charge the same price as they did around 10 years ago so with the exchange rate and inflation, we are getting them for less today than they were then. Not as cheap as Yamato days but still not bad. I’m in for both if they do it.

    I wasn't paying attention before and didn't notice this had a shiny canopy. I like it!

    Well said. Yeah, I’ve seen it but my family hasn’t. They’ve watched a lot of skate videos though. Bones Brigade Search For Animal Chin and stuff like that to current videos. We’ll get to that movie again sometime but good reminder. Thanks!

    Agreed on the 80’s. The 1/55 Chunky still can’t be beat to this day as the greatest TOY (not just Valk) ever made. That Mcgill is my favorite all time Powell graphic. But these were my favorite overall boards from back in the day.

    Oh, haha gotcha! That's all good as long as you enjoyed it. Here's my old school style deck that I put together recently using a combination of old and new parts:

    Yeah, from what I’ve seen, most items are upcharged. There is a reason why I almost always buy anything from SOC, SHF, SHMA, and even other items like Transformers from Japanese retailers instead of domestically.
  16. Slave IV
    Totally agree. While I would like to support WWM by buying domestically, I'm not going to pay more for it so it defeats the purpose.
  17. Slave IV
    I love the look of this but like some of the other expensive cases out there, I can't bring myself to pay more for the display case than I did for what the case is displaying.
  18. Slave IV
    Over $150 including tax. I just mentioned in the other thread that considering that, this is not a bad price at all.
  19. Slave IV
    The price is not bad at all considering the item cost over $150 for people purchasing directly at the event. Now, the fact that Bandai charged over the standard if it was converted using the current exchange rate and listed MSRP in Yen, that's a whole other story but seems to be the standard case with WWM items so far.

    You used to skate? It’s never too late to pick it up again. I took about 20 years off but then my son started getting interested and we went to some skateparks and just like that, I got back into it. It’s been tough trying to get some tricks back but I’ve also learned new things I was never able to do before.
  21. Slave IV
    Thanks! That was my favorite way to display my Valks. No floor space taken, dynamic displays that I can see all the time, safe and secure but also easy to remove and play with anytime. I actually never bought a Yeti base stand because I preferred this method.
  22. Slave IV
    Yeah, I'm a bit surprised they didn't get very dusty there. I suppose it wouldn't be difficult to put a plexiglass case around those. Or, I think you could also just mount the stands inside a wall display.
  23. Slave IV
    I had a bunch of Valks displayed on the wall with yeti stands. They were super stable with no worries about knocking them off. I also had them high up and out of the way but still, they were solid.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Slave IV replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Is this just a reissue? Or am I missing something?

    Macross figures

    Slave IV replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Haha yeah, it seems like an easy enough accessory to get. I'm just not sure it's worth it even though I'm big on these KC figures and have been all in so far. The only thing really calling me is that weathered helmet but again, do I really care?
