  1. There's a catch to that wish of yours Sanity.. Chuck's 31e is Yellow and somehow the Oranges might clash. Noel's digi-bash of using the teal, red and orange Gatling gun barrels on Arad's Silpheed 31s looks spot on how it should be originally. Based on a pic posted pages back, Chuck's 31e Armour pack will have a Neon Yellow on the Missle packs a la Amoured 171EX. Hmm... Makes me wonder on what the final colours would be on Mirage's Magenta 31c when armoured up (I know.. Wishful thinking here however it can happen).
  2. @Kinzoku VF - As I do like the "Silpheed Armour" option, I'm calling it off for now, however time will tell as the official day gets closer and them I'll decide (possibly for Chuck's 31e as there is a possibility due to the first movie. Maybe for Mirage if and when Bandai decides to). @Alphahorizon - I'm also in the same boat as you are as I'm working towards a certificate in Property Management and I've got pre-orders to pay off (IE: HMR VF-1d and Arcadia's PE VE-1) before I even think about getting the "Silpheed Armour".
  3. Saw the listing on NY as @Slave IV has just mentioned.. Roughy 18K yen and payment upfront. (No Ands, If or Buts)
  4. @Toonz - This is a TWE order that is doing Arad's 31s Armour. The places are that you order from are the official TWE shops such as NY, Anime Export, mykombini and others. Secondary stores like Manda, Amiami, and others will possibly carry it after the official release day at a slight markup. Or you can try Proxy sites to get it (it may cost you more though).
  5. Putting on a logical thinking cap here: Drinking and then ordering valks while your body is trying to process the harmful effects is not a good sign of rational behavior.. Hopefully that you have enough funds squirreled away for that huge purchase @scand. As the old saying goes: "Hell has no fear like a women scorned", you better have a good explanation of your purchases when it gets delivered to the door! Good call on getting the PE VF-0a now and then see the prices skyrocket off the roof days later..
  6. From Sideshow via Toyark https://news.toyark.com/2019/03/06/marvel-comics-red-skull-sixth-scale-figure-by-sideshow-339264 From what @littlewolvie mentioned on the thread itself: "I'm not really impressed, I've to admit. I expect more from a $200+ figure/doll. When I look at Hot Toys (admitted, they are more expensive), but also some of the excellent 12-inch figures released by various Chinese manufacturers for half the price or even the average Marvel Legends or Neca figure, this Red Skull simply doesn't look very impressive nor menacing. I'll pass." It's your call if you want to get it.
  7. There are some Chunky Monkey that hasn't be made at all @Shizuka the Cat Based on what @sh9000 has posted, that's the modern list of the 1/55 of what has been made so far, however, there is a vintage VF-1s Strike Hikaru that is considered a "Holy Grail" plus with a VF-1j and GBP (both packed separately), which both @rdrunner and @jenius has in their own collection. Make sure that you have enough funds saved for your actual wedding day.
  8. Can't go wrong with a Chunky Monkey to add into your collection Shizuka. Chasing down all the variants (if you do) is another question. To quote a stanza from one of the most recognizable boyband songs as they're still going after all these years (I'm not talking about either any of the J/K-pop Boybands): "Tell me why/Ain't nothing but a heartache/Tell me why/Ain't nothing but a mistake/Tell me why/ I don't want to hear you say/ I want it that way".

    I'll rather take the Greek goddess Ranka over the Plamax kits of Sheryl and Ranka.. Not a model kit builder.
  11. From my LCS this weekend. Neca Ultimate Edition Alien in blue. Chest burster, opened alien egg and face hugger still on the clamshell tray

    Now they're making Sheryl and Ranka into Greek/Roman Goddesses? Sheryl's mouth expression has gotten me confused..
  13. Manda has another copy of the DX VF-1J available at 30k yen. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1106458768&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス&lang=en
  14. I can imagine the "Crapfest" that will appear when Bandai does decide to release Arad's 31a, plus I'm guessing as for the second Delta Movie valk release.
  15. Has anyone seen this? From kurutuku131's Twitter page (posted by spacemanovers on the vf-31 thread of a Siegfried kitbashed): Arcadia 51 Ivanoff and Shin's PE VF-0d dated two days ago.

    Anyone looking for the Spirits Kuji Nome in Blue (others are sold out)? Here's two locations that have it with a price difference, take your pic in which location. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1106456571&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス spirits kuji&lang=en
  17. If Arad's "Stampede" Armour is to be released in August, will it most likely be at the end of August/first week of September when the actual shipping day from the suppliers or earlier. Don't quite me on that as I can be wrong. The pre-orders are usually 5 months prior to release date, so in theory, sometime in in the beginning of March when the pre-order craziness happens. From what I can remember, the HMR VF-4, VF-1d and Chuck's 31e pre-orders started five months before the actual release date. The only pre-order that was gone fairly quickly was Chuck's 31e while you can still pre-order the HMR VF-4 and the VF-1d on certain websites after a few days later. Can anyone else chime in and to verify if my thinking is either correct or not? * Corrected date is March not May
  18. Justin and Ryan's tour of Secret Base. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqor5WL6UyI
  19. DX VF-1J listed again on Manda at 33k yen.. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1106740972&ref=list&keyword=マクロス&lang=en
  20. I'm in for Chuck's 31e Armoured Parts and saving up for the eventual Arad 31a release.
  21. From Toyark. QMX TOS Sulu pics are up. Pre-orders are not yet up, check on later for more details. https://news.toyark.com/2019/02/22/photos-and-info-for-the-star-trek-the-original-series-sulu-1-6-scale-figure-by-qmx-337821
  22. @Bots & Bits or @rdrunner.. Can either of you two post the links for the KO Arcadia Clear Leg Armours? I'm not having any success.
  23. Just waiting for the Supers for Arad's for now.. The Stampede-ish Armour I'll most likely get upon release day (if I can get it).
  24. As mentioned by @Bots & Bits on the other Macross Thread, the clear covers for the KO Arcadia valk leg packs are up on Taobao/Ali Express for 99 RMB (or around $14.75 USD).
