  1. Just looking on FromJapan on the prices for the SV-262 Ha to see the listings for it. Seen one listing for 33k yen or 35k yen buy it now (new and sealed in box).. Are you that fracking nuts?? That's the price of the 31a! If the 262 Ha is sitting in bargain bins at a lower price do to the fact that no one wants to pick it up, then this definitely price gauging (not to mention that the 171EX Maruyama is asking 70k yen).
  2. @dafob: I was actually typing to use the tape method over the red and the black, however I got ninjaed by you before I can post it..
  3. Slave VI is correct in saying that 3rd party stuff (especially TFs) tend to not get released on the date as planned hence the wording "ETA" is used. A fair amount of people still use the "ETA date of release" as the actual official release day; however in reality, its usually two/three weeks after the ETA.
  4. You think that Bandai will make the transformation for the other 262 variants easier for us? I don't think so and they'll make it harder for us and; therefore make us toss it against the wall in frustration.

    Hi-Metal R

    I'm right behind you in using Manda! Mostly for Figuarts, TFs, Macross and few other things as well.. Used them for my Neca Alien Queen as I couldn't get one as I missed the boat and after that and the rest is history..
  6. Hmm.. I might have to take a note this display if and when I get my collection up. Need to get the Monster one of these days and use the fishing line for my other HMRs and possibly one of the 1/60 valks that I have.
  7. Follow up on @seti88post on the kit. Pre-orders up on Amimai and hopefully on others as well. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4546&page=top
  8. If that someone is very desperate for a 31a, I'm sure that they will cave in.
  9. On a serious note, we all know that Arad's 31s is to be released in August/September and hopefully with Chuck's 31E not too far behind, I guess that Bandai will surprise us with the Elvis or the Ba variants soon? If not, then I be waiting for the Arcadia SV-51 (and in that way I can build up my funds).
  10. Just reading all of your updates on the 31A situation.. Seriously that sucks and a fair chunk of you guys literally got burnt to a crisp with NY acting like a scammer in this regards and leaving you all high and dry with no goods to show. This could be another reason(s) why as well too. Still shady in my books..
  11. Got the VF-1s Hikaru as I already have the Strike/Fast packs already. I know that we had this conversation in regards of the 1/48 on the other site as I'm focusing on the ones that I want plus the price for it was reasonable (not more than $200 CDN). I was also watching the other sites like a hawk in regards to the VF-1s Hikaru as well. Just so happens that I managed to catch the listing when I went back into the site and it was the last one available, that is when I snagged it. It's the one with the flaming box (version 1.1)
  12. I love the 102F as it reminds me of the Stampede valk, however it's the colour option that it has right now doesn't suit me. I take it that there might be other paint variations if it goes well and the demand for it?
  13. @Shizuka the Cat: You know what's even worse that collecting Macross valks? Having other stuff that we collect also, albeit it may be in TFs, comics, tokusatsu, mecha, Lego, et all.. You get the jest of it. Not long ago, I pre-ordered another 1/6 figure (to be out by Q2 of this year) and have funds actually set aside for this. The worst thing is to be in debt for the rest of your life and you can't even make the payments due to the interest that's slapped on it (and you keep in buying more stuff to satisfy your plastic crack habits; therefore going deeper into the debt pool). Having a collection is one thing, just budget your expenses accordingly. On a side note, I just pulled the trigger on a 1/48 valk last night as it actually the last listing available from the two that was listed earlier.
  14. The 1/48 Woodland GBP is still up for grabs.
  15. Hmm... Needs a reactive armour to complete it.
  16. Wowza! $50K yen for a Yammie VE-1 and it's the Rainbow canopy version.. I wouldn't even scratch that amount of cash even if it was listed, however I'm quite impressed for your commitment @Shizuka the Cat. Which reminds me that I still need to hunt for a 1/60 VF-1J with the GBP (either the Yammie V.2 or the Arcadia version). I only have 3 of the 1/60 valks, 5 HMRs (not including the Ostrich for now) and a Strike/Fast Pack for a 1/48 valk. As for the valk itself, I already picked it out and just need get it shortly either this month or the next (and hopefully that it's still listed).
  17. One more to add for the cat related puns..
  18. Yep! Since that Shizuka was asking about Yeti stands, I think we all pushed her even more to spend $$ out of her own pocket and that she can add her collection photos into the "Macross Collection Display Thread". I think that she still needs to get at least one of the 1/48 valks sooner or later to spice up her collection.
  19. Glad to see that the VF-171s still have some love despite its issues and the crazy tight arm joints. Might pick up the Luca's EX as possibly.
  20. Here you go (I had to go on the Ikea.ca website for reference for this): https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10119206/ There's actually a Ikea US (and international) website that you can go to.
  21. Slowly but surely that the VF-31a is being shipped out by NY..
  22. From what I can remember (I think that it was this thread), Escaflowne was co-written by Kawamori with Yumiko Tsukamoto and that's why you can see Kawamori's influence on the SV-154 and even on the SV-51 as well. On a side note: Was the SV-154 Svard based on actual plane (if so, then what craft was the inspiration of the design)?

    Hi-Metal R

    Here is the exact specs on the shipping methods in further details: http://www.amiami.com/top/page/t/ps_en.html

    Hi-Metal R

    That's actually me that's enabling you not Shizuka.. Amiami does have the slow ship method under SAL (registered mail or unregistered).

    You're going further and deeper into the rabbit hole @Shizuka the Cat!
