That didn't take long to be listed on Manda.. Waiting to see "Version B" when it gets listed.

Guess what I also dug up... Previous link removed. Edit: Found better pics in this article: https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/1141527.html

@seti88 - So I guessed the right episode, wrong colour choice. Maybe Xaos ran out of the teal pigment for his valk; therefore, there is the possibility that one can't really see the teal that well in the pitch blackness of space. A brighter colour would be easily seen at a distance than compared to a darker one (just a possibility)?

I'm getting two different replies back (not including mine) in the colour of Arad's Supers.. Is there an exact freeze frame of Arad's Supers? I don't really remember which one specifically (is it the one with the speaker pods on the valks)? I think that I need a refresher as pics will be helpful.

Catching up on the news and count me in for the 1D.. Waiting for the Q-rau announcements.

After seeing no posts from Toyark about 1/6th figures for a few days, these were posted today. Sideshow Joker - http://news.toyark.com/2018/11/21/dc-comics-joker-sixth-scale-figure-by-sideshow-324689 HT Imperial Trooper (new version) - http://news.toyark.com/2018/11/21/an-updated-star-wars-stormtrooper-1-6-scale-figure-coming-from-hot-toys-324659

Just before the on-line purchase overhaul from Jungle started (still ongoing as of right now and will last will next week?), the DX YF-19 Full Set was going for roughly 25k-ish yen. The price might go higher once everything is up and running. I don't know about from Proxies (FromJapan, Buyee, etc..)

Last delivery from Japan till the Postal Strike in Canada is over. From Manda Fukuoka via SAL.

Can I guess that Arad's Supers will be the same colour as his "Stampede Armoured" look when Bandai does decide to make it. Orange doesn't look quite right to me for Arad as it should be red.

@anubis20 - So you managed to get a copy of Flame's take on the not-DJD leader (not going to spoil here on who is it actually). I'm actually tempted to get the Iron Factory's take on the DJD as a whole collection package and put with my Destron MPs. ** Another FYI update for us Macross Junkies in Canada in regards to the Postal Strike. Backlog in mail delivery is going to into January: http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/delivery-delays-now-into-january-canada-post/ar-BBPV9YY?li=AAggXBV&ocid=DELLDHP I know... The Black Friday and Christmas packages deliveries are going to damper all of us this year ** Edit: @Bishop - You're not the only collector that's been effected. I've also read other collectors on the TFW2005 threads express their frustration in not getting their goods also (and they're in Canada as well).

@SilentCrossHairs - Manda had Messer's Supers at 11k yen just sometime last week and you missed the boat on that deal. I was not expecting this to arrive after coming back from work 20 mins ago due to the Canada Postal Strike. Left Manda Complex on the 9th, actual shipping date 12th arrived on the 19th.

Looks like a fair amount of us have a 1/48 Low Vis 1a in our collection. I doubt that the DX VF-1 will carry on with the odd paint schemes like the Yammie version.

Nope... You're all completely wrong in all accounts. Its in Stealth Mode.

This thread is too quiet today, so here is my post. Hot Toys ESB Fett (Regular release) and TF United Stepper. Fett will posted properly in the 1/6th thread.

Sorry to de-track in this thread folks as this is not a new toy post from me, however it's a FYI as most of us Macross collectors are in Canada as well. The Canada Postal Strike has literally grounded everything to a stand still and it will be quite a while before he get anything overseas (DHL, Fedex and other carriers has their own staff so it should be fine to the best of my knowledge).

Hot Toys Iron Spidey review by Jenkin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3fSygi2P54

Anyone in the same boat as me?

Found one review of Nexx's VF-2ss.

One of two (possibly three packaged) hauls for this month. Bera and Ranka have arrived as of now (customs of $48.12 CND on top of a 17,040 yen valk) from Amiami (Box B/Item B). I did read the VF-27 Super thread before getting this.

Pre-owned Arad's 31s is up on Amiami for 22,980 yen (Item A/Box B) https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-037574-R

Messer's/Hayate's Movie 31f at 16.5k yen sealed? That's heck if a deal right there (now presently back to 19.5k yen). Took me quite a while to warm up to the 31f as I had already got Mirage's 31c. The clips for the Lil'Draken add ons to the Movie 31f finally sealed the deal in getting it. The only Delta valk that I got at a bargain was Roid's SV-262 Hs at 13k yen opened box (in good condition).

I'm guessing that it might blend with the 1/60 VE-1, VF-1D, VT-1 (don't know which ones exactly).

Don't forget that some products that any 1/6th companies display during the shows will not get made at all. Just sift back a few pages and there are some examples.

After a month of dormant activity, I found something that might be of interest on Manda and it anyone is willing to try and restore it. Literally your worst nightmare!! Everything is complete - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1100036287&ref=list and cigarette smell as well Here's a pic of the condition. Edit: My copy is still in the box and I haven't checked it if it has yellowed since I have it in storage for 5 years.

Time to go back on the drawing board I take it ...
