    Incoming Figure Spirits Kuji Sheryl Nome pics (Got Version B as I mentioned). Note that used the flash in the first and the last pic is the stand.
  2. Try vf-1s. There will be a few listings that say "KO" or "Valkyrie Factory". I know that some will support 4th party mechas, however these are not the real and official items. I admit I do buy 4th party stuff to fill in the gaps in my collection, however I try and get the official stuff.
  3. I believe that it's just a straight pin and can be removed with a proper pin removal tool. If it's a knurled pin, make sure that you remove it on the opposite end..
  4. If and when they decide to issue the DX GBP Armoured Set and Bandai makes us fork out more funds for the new DX VF-1J "Grey Goggle variant" mold.. Seriously speaking.. If the DX GBP set does get made, why can't Bandai make the Grey Goggle DX VF-1J head sculpt as an add on like the VF-27 Beta [Grace/Cannon fodder version]?
  5. I'm sure that you'll be just fine so no need to fret. Make sure that you have enough funds and be on time to get your copy of the DX VF-1J. The pricy valk that's presently available right now is the DX YF-19 Full Set (roughly 26k yen) just released not long ago from the Macross Plus anime.
  6. The culprit was the knurled pins on the upper shoulder joints.. I had the same problem with my Yammie v.2 valk and got the Sideways replacement parts, however I haven't done it yet.
  7. Posted on Toyark. Sideshow Megs - http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/12/marvel-comics-magneto-sixth-scale-figure-by-sideshow-326928 Edit: Head sculpt update from yesterday - http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/11/black-panther-movie-killmonger-head-sculpt-hot-toys-update-326681
  8. I was originally interested in getting the Chronos as I do like the colour scheme, however just reading on the updated posts got me sidelined. @rdrunner - You might want to check your copy soon as I know that you have a copy in valk mode and haven't done the transformation. Manda does have the Chronos in stock - Take your pick. I find this more palatable than the 31a (pricewise). https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1025399946&ref=list&dispCount=240&keyword=マクロス&lang=en
  9. Jump to the time 1:03:40 for the DX VF-1J and upwards to 1:12:15 for the TWE Missile pack listings and wrap up for that section.
  10. @wolfrider5 - Make sure that the legs also don't crumble if you ever do the transformation on the CF 171 (I know that you displayed it in valk mode).. The missile set (if your going to get it) is not going to be cheap to get, unless you want to get the Maruyama (sp?) version..
  11. Hopefully that huge backdrop of Mimay for both one detolf doesn't get you reemed out! Well.. There is the Yammie Anniversary YF-19 on the other detolf with the fold booster @Sanity is Optional. Maybe @wolfrider5 is just waiting for the funds to get the DX YF-19 or waiting for the possible DX YF-21..

    I found three pics of the Spirits Kuji Sheryl [ All from this website - https://www.pikbee.me/tag/マクロスf ] Credit to all the people that posted it. All the three variants are posted and the last one is too cute not to share. @mika_hak_9899's post @hiroshiwbx's post @airvarie's post @akiho0411's post
  13. 13k yen for a DX SV-262Hs is worth it. Manda had it for low as opened condition at 10k, 12k, 14k and now presently at 17k. Thankfully that I got my copy from Jungle for 13k [Box B/Item B] couple of months ago (as the ordering site is still on overhaul) and the Lil'Drakens for Amazon Japan at the same price. Still in the box as of now along with my other valks, since I've got no room to display it (Edit: All the boxes are opened if your wondering). Amiami has a pre-owned Hs (last copy) for roughly 17k if anyone is interested - https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-023079-R Manda has two listings of the Lil'Draken at 12k - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1075741705&ref=list As for the valk - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1062529883&ref=list Amazon Japan listings in Japanese: Valk - https://www.amazon.co.jp/マクロスデルタ-Sv-262Hs-ドラケンIII-キース・エアロ・ウィンダミア機-塗装済み可動フィギュア/dp/B01LWQ6QK1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1544215305&sr=8-2&keywords=dx+sv-262 Lil'Drakens - https://www.amazon.co.jp/Sv-262Hs-ドラケンIII-キース・エアロ・ウィンダミア機-用リル・ドラケン&ミサイルポッド-魂ウェブ商店限定/dp/B071L9WR5L/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544215305&sr=8-1&keywords=dx+sv-262 Don't know about the other suppliers and the proxy listings.
  14. @JetJockey and others - Your lucky day has arrived for Endor Luke as it's posted on Toyark (Deluxe version is also described). Hopefully that Leia is not too far behind. http://news.toyark.com/2018/12/07/star-wars-return-of-the-jedi-luke-skywalker-figures-by-hot-toys-326123 Edit: Added the Deluxe version in the notes as I didn't see it originally.

    Hi-Metal R

    I don't think so.. Roy's Strike VF-1s is the same as Hikaru's (in yellow, TWE and not in red), however Hikaru's 1a did have mis-matched leg clips (either you get two left or two right) and you have to ask another member here for a switch if their copy had the same issue just a different side than yours. You asked if a 1s is available and I gave you options.. Now it's time for you to make your selection.

    Hi-Metal R

    Which version of the 1s do you want @vlenhoff? Manda has 3 listings Hikaru's - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1099769111&ref=list Amazon japan has Roy, Hikaru and Messer - https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/357-5905649-3474718?__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=hi-metal+r * *Note that Roy's and Hikaru's version are quite pricy (23k+ yen). As for the other stores like AE, Amiami, CDJ, et all, it maybe be sold out. If they have it in stock, then the asking price will might be in the 24k+yen range.
  17. Not many reviewers on Youtube like AY Betsy's hair sculpt @Mommar, so your not the only one. Remy LeBeau is going to be the other one that I'll pick up eventually if I can control my funds as I want to pick up MP-29+ as well. Edit: Skiff Guard Lando is already out @Slave IV? I think that I'll pick him up if and when it gets released in YVR.
  18. I'm itching to get the Orguss in that scale (and that X-Plus King G tops it off as well). What's is scale for the Megahouse one if anyone has a copy at hand?
  19. This is what really puzzles me. The original ad for the other was "supposed PE" finish and Show Z website said it has stickers that you can put on. Now pics has surfaced that it's already stickered up already? As the one of the Princess Bride quote goes "That's inconceivable!" Still heck of a deal on a KO Strike VF-1 valk regardless.

    Hi-Metal R

    Log in again and go to select "Modify Existing Orders" and select the correct shipping method of your choice. You won't pay of the price of the toy in shipping as it roughly 2K/3k yen in either EMS or DHL. I have an order with Amimai to be paid shortly and I switched it from EMS to DHL because the Postal Strike in Canada suspended all overseas mail and parcels two weeks ago. Now that the Liberals forced the Postal Workers back to work last week, I'm not taking the risk in having sent via EMS as the mail and parcels will be backlogged till January before I do get my package and everything is cleared. I've ordered a DX VF-31 valk plus the SV-262 Hs add on set from Amazon Japan and got it within 5 days after I made my payment as they used DHL for shipment.

    Hi-Metal R

    Just got back home from work and made a pre-order with Amiami already since I have the pre-order of Figuarts Kiva already. Seems like this round of the HMR Vf-1d is a bit easier than the VF-4g.

    Hi-Metal R

    Not to rain on the upcoming HMR VF-1d pre-orders in roughly 12+ hours, I've found a few reviews on Nexx's Vf-2ss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taiJpdKy8V4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MnpFTy2jF4 - GKaiser's full review
  23. Note: This is not a bump in the thread of an SV 262 Ba variant, however its more as an "What If" when the DX version gets released. Just listed on Manda, Hasegawa model kit of Mirage's 262 Ba is shown and the box art shows in her own colours [I know that this kit was shown in battriod form way back in the thread (and valk if my memory serve me correctly)], will anyone pick it up based on this? I think that a fair amount of us will wait for the regular Ba (Pope head) variant. Edit; I might get it cause of Mirage herself, however the actual colours on the DX will either make it or break it.
  24. Terry and Ryo looks like a modern version of Ken and Ryu from the Capcom Street Fighter game. That reminds me.. I still need to see the King of the Streets Movie (2012) with Yue Song as the main character. The lesser names like Pop Toys, O-soul, 303, COO Model, DAM toys also have good stuff (based on what I see so far). TBLeague (formerly Phicen) might be up to par with Hot Toys stuff. Other companies like Toys Era, QMX, Asmus, et al are slowly getting my interests as well since that I have just started getting into 1/6th stuff this year.
