I already pre-ordered from Amazon.jp and keeping it as I usually go to Amiami. These are the stright up valks that I'm listing from Arcadia on the secondary market. Strike Roy's and Hikaru's are asking 30k yen, Max is 25k yen and Miria is 18k yen on Manda. Amiami had Miria for roughly 19k yen (from 23k yen?) and Max has a back order at roughly the same price as his wife's valk (also from 23k yen?). 25k-ish yen for the PE VE-1 is still steep for myself and others as well who are watching their finances, however it beats the guess work of hunting down one if you regret missing out on the pre-orders months later and sold out (if it goes quickly). Or if one doesn't like it after getting it, then the other options is the For Sales thread.

I don't believe that here is any other shipping options for pre-orders/regular orders on Amazon.jp as the default is DHL (please correct me if I'm wrong). Other Japanese hobby stores have DHL, EMS or SAL.

Arcadia has not issued a VE-1 after Yammies v.2 take and was asking close to 50k yen (sealed in box) on secondary markets for those that wanted it (aka "Holy Grail"). So that interns that Arcadia as filled in the missing link for now for those that wanted a 1/60 VE-1 valk. Will this version of the VE-1 be a good seller or be like the Yammie V.2 version (which was lackuster I believe until Yamato folded, then the prices skyrocketed off the roof).
-
I think that FEXT Hobby will cover the Amour (if they have enough funding to make in 1/60). Is it fair to say that this will be the most hunted down valk when Arcadia releases it? The last regular release was the VF-1J with the GBP and it was sold out for those that where still waffling in it. I have a feeling that @Shizuka the Cat might be interested as we know that she has the Yammie version already or are you going to pass over this?
-
So that means the usual shops for us then.. HLJ, AE, Amiami, NY, CDJ and Arcadia's as well (Amazon.jp is a maybe?). Is there anymore that I missed out?
-
Bring on the VE-1!! I'll be getting this first and then the SV-51. One grail valk knocked off my list.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Managed to acquire a Figuarts grail. Didn't even have to pay eBay's insane price for this and no your eye's are not playing tricks.

I believe that you guys have seen this and here it is again. Mirage's 31C with the 31F Movie Lil'Draken clip ons plus SV-262 Hs Draken and the sword (errors included).

Shock oil will be available at you local hobby store that sells RC parts (for stiff coil springs) any car parts store that sells it. I think that you can use motorcycle fork oil, just be sure that it doesn't dissolve the metal or the surrounding areas.
-
The first thing that you want to do in your copy if the YF-19 Full set is: Loosen up those hip joints! Don't be like @onnasake and have your valk legs sheer off during the transformation. Watch out for those canards on the shins and other notable items that we all have experienced here. Oh.. Don't forget to have a bottle of shock oil on hand (if you have).

Since the DX VF-1J is getting the hype now, there's another price drop on the DX YF-19 Full set from Amiami for those who still haven't gotten one. From 27k yen to now roughly 22.4k yen (Box B/Item B). https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-038985-R

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm sure that they can @no3Ljm. Take the Figuarts WM Mk.2/3 suit sans the reactor and re-use the Mk.1 arm gun gauntlets and the shoulder cannon. Put on new tampo graphing on the amour and there you go; therefore making it a TWE offering. As you know the newest Figuarts IM has a re-use of the previous versions of the armour molds (dubbed the Hot Rod) added new paint to it. Edit: I'm sure that the digital painting can make a good likeness of the Frank Castle head. -
Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
@Mommar: I didn't even see this one at all even though the teaser was posted was posted by myself on the 1st of this month. Thanks for the update.. Just missed this on Toyark. http://news.toyark.com/2019/01/18/marvel-future-fight-the-punisher-in-war-machine-armor-329670 Edit: Date fixed. -
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
borgified replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
That's quiet humble collection to start off in this thread @Pontus. I can't show you or anyone else in this thread on my collection as I still need a shelf to display it all (still in boxes and opened). If you want a 1/60 Q-Rau in Milia's colours, proxies may have them for sale (as there are no guarantees that you will get one), just be ready to possibly pay a bit more for S&H to where you are . Make sure that you have enough funds to cover your Macross collecting habits as us members do know too well, where all going down the rabbit hole deeper and deeper.. -
I can say that we all want physical and solid hard facts. Not he/she tell me as per one of the TFW2005 threads..

Are you sure that you referring to this?? From @Saburo's picture of Craneking Mirage in the Macross Figures thread (in Kumo Kumo's walkure costume)

Welcome to the 31 valk thread and get ready for your wallet to explode for other variants. If you decide to get the Supers for Mirage, Manda has a unit for sale of now at 12k yen. Speaking of Mirage, she's climbing up towards the price range if the YF-30. Maybe being a female pilot and following behind her grandmother's footsteps might have something to due with it?

Is it fair to say that everyone is waiting for either Roy's/Hikaru's Strike 1s and the eventual GBP armour for the 1J?
-
Amiami has 31A for grabs (Item A/Box B) for roughly 55k yen if anyone is interested. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-037326-R

If the DX VF-1j is asking 28k yen on Manda, it's asking 29.3k yen (3rd party seller, not including S&H and the other fees) on Amazon.jp to send it to YVR...

I managed to find one review for the EXQ Sheryl Nome Version 2. That ending is what it's actually designed for (like the two Delta girls Maki Maki and Fre Fre)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49RFIG0GNUQ

FYI: Can we move this into the "Help! Your Yellowing" thread as well @dapro? It would be essentially the same method used.

Since that we're talking about the DX VF-1J recolour variants, how is Bandai going brighten the colours up on the eventual DX M&M versions from the HMR VF-1J releases and not cause any paint to rub off upon transformation. We all know that the other HMR valks are molded in the respected colours [Super O, Elintseeker, 1D, M&M, Messer's 1s (and maybe Kaizaki's 1a if they do get to it)]. Is there anymore that I missed out on?
-
Bump in the thread folks.. @mustang1 did a long overdue review on the DX YF-19 full set.
-
Arcadia is focusing on the upcoming SV-51 Ivanoff and the release of the Yamato valk stand (with a storage compartment at the base). So they have the Zero license for now. You know that Bandai has the upcoming HMR VF-1D (to be released in March), DX missile set, Chuck's 31e, Arnoured/Super parts for Arad with new S.H. Figuarts and Monsterarts kaijus and other release that Bandai has the license for.. That is a wack of stuff to be pushing out for the company itself and Bandai has literally thrown a wrench in Arcadia's plan for now. As for the hypotheical question, who has the licence to finish off the VF-1 valks that we wanted really want in either 1/60 or 1/48 scale [IE: Elintseeker, Super O, Virgin Road, Kaizaki, etc..]. Both companies know that there is the demand, however there's a lot at stake. One wrong move and then, we all know what happens next.
