Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Alex GS replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Received finally my DX Angel Birds Valk today from Mandarake alongside the DX VF 171EX
-
so many valks iterations in the Macross universe, and still Arcadia keeps bringing on the same valks over and over again, seriously they must not like money or they just clueless, I mean take for example Yamato YF-21 , imagine if they release one Arcadia branded, or how about the 11B ?, or better yet how about releasing VF-1S 1/60 again but this time is not a feather weight valk?, add a bit of something new , diecast maybe?. At this point the Bandai DX 1/48 Valks are top of the line for obvious reasons still will not go into details why is that, it would be alot of text lol, but Im not saying Arcadia should do the same cause obviously Arcadia is a much smaller Company , still that shouldn't be an excuse to not thrive as company, or maybe the company is doing enough income to just fulfill wages and keep the company afloat, who knows, but as a company that has the Macross license I think they are wasting a lot of potential in that License.

sadly it didn't went thru, I received as well a cancellation notice .
-
just ordered one fromJapan , this is my second time using it for a Tamashii Exclusive, the first one all went smoothly and on time, I hope everything goes smooth for this one as well.

This is his youtube channel since years, https://www.youtube.com/@JapanGeek it lives in Japan and he literally begun first in making youtube videos of showing japanese toys from different stores there, mostly he is a big fan of Saint Seiya and secondly Macross, its youtube channel grow larger and slowly created that website for purchase toys from Japan, from a purchasing point of view it has very good reputation sending their items very well protected around the world, I havent purchase any from him just yet because sometimes it puts a huge markup price in certain items, but I think this time around for this DX is actually a pretty damn good price imo, and Im also thingking about of getting one from him.

will try to get one tomorrow from a proxy from japan site I think, 👆but this comment scares me 😅
-

received in my mailbox these two today.

will had to wait this time around for the other US retailers to see which offers the better price, like Amazon, Eknightmedia or entertainment-earth and lastly BBTS, for example the DX YF 19 in Amazon right now the PO is in a discount, at 218 bucks while currently the higher price is at BBTS at 254 dollars, not to mention add CA taxes, I mean is not that bad getting it in the US, for example 37,700 converting into dlls is around 260 dlls, now add the probably 6000 to 7000 yen of shipping , like DHL I always use that method, is like 48 dlls more, so in the end you will end up paying approximately like more than 300 bucks in total, also who knows how volatile the currency will be when this Valk releases it could be less or even higher, so who knows
-
Thank you so much @MKT, my bad not looking further in this thread😅 , man I was hoping for something different in the box art of this Valk still no problem at all.
-
anyone here by any chance have a shot of the new box for this valk?, not for collecting reasons of course
-
is being a while this PO still open in AmiAmi releasing the VF-171EX this January , so if someone interested here it is the link: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-159118 at least for me I'm really excited for this release , never tried to get one of the old early releases cause the reports of breaking knees or legs issue in nearly every version, I hope this one gets reinforcements in those segments.

AmiAmi HI-METAL R AnestheVF-0A Phoenix (Shin Kudo Use) + QF-2200D-B Ghost "Macross Zero" PO link , still not active: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-163071

god damn it really does look like a penguin over its bellyðŸ˜

Soon to be release a PO for a Soul of Chogokin - Voltron Chogokin 50th Anniversary , it seems it just the GX-71 but shinier and more expensive now Release date: 6/2024 Price: 39,600 yen
-
I really think they definitely change something , there are several details in the nose cone too that appeared more flatten than the older pictures, with the new images it reassembles alot more now to the 1/60 Yamato YF 21 and that's a good thing in my opinion, the first time I saw the early images first thing it come to my mind was the 1/72 chunky design. Special thanks to @jenius anymoon.com for this images, awesome website for Macross fans 1/60 vs 1/72 1/72 vs anime
-
not sure if it was the angle in past early images or Bandai they really fixed the proportions specially the length of the nose cone of the jet, at least for now this image looks great in my opinion:
-
maybe in person and holding it you can feel its quality not sure, but as for now with those pictures that looks like very plasticky and toyish (not desirable for collecting at least for me) not to mention that nonsense price it doesn't make any sense, I would rather look and spend for a blitzway voltron than this. or maybe I will look for one of this instead
-
yikes!, now Im regretting PO this figure 😕, I mean the original Riobot releases aren't that old and already has that many joints affected?, not cool not cool at all.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Alex GS replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
not sure where to put it, but since it looks like a transformer so I hope is ok to put it here, it came out of nowhere and it really grab my attention how slick it looks in all three forms , and it seems is made out of quality materials and diecast, let's see how it goes, in the meantime I preorder it a few minutes after checking all the pictures. Even thou the below inner part of the jet mode looks like this, it looks way better than Bay Form Starcream jet mode, this looks more aerodynamic if someone interested here are the links: hlj https://www.hlj.com/trans-age-series-ct-df-01-huntpow-transformable-action-figure-cna26161 AmiAmi https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-161594

hmmm I honestly have no idea what Arcadia is thinking, release this to: a) To not lose the Macross License for the VF 1's b) ran out of ideas c) easy to manufacture and have a quick cash income. d) None of the above , I have no idea I have no effing doubt if they release a YF-21 under the Arcadia brand it would sell like crazy, maybe they lost the YF 21 Yamato bluprints or diagrams, just don't know , still nonetheless I might PO the both of them lol.
-
PO for the re-release RIOBOT Genesis Climber Mospeada 1/12 VR-052F are now open if someone is interested , the prices currently in EBAY for this figure are insane, I PO one just for the heck of it and for comparisons once I got the Moshow one https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-161111

Nice to see the YF-21 is getting more love, in this case a model kit 1/100 that soon it will be available for PO and this is from Bandai as well, the POs for the DX YF-21 should closer now, still wouldn't mind if Bandai halt the DX release of the POs so it could fix that goddamn cockpit being so short, I mean just look at this model kit, in my opinion it looks spot on in all their modes, is really head scratching that Bandai is able to deliver this design in a much smaller scale and can't do that in a bigger scale.
