@mamboeidos: Have you tried other Japanese store sites like Jungle, NY and others (or you prefer to stick with Manda)?
-
Took me quite a while to look for this thread and now found it!
Haven't looked through the thread yet, and was wondering if anyone has any 1/6th threeZero figs? Might get their Agent Scully (I'm an X-Files fan) later this year and backtrack to get Mulder.
Have a Pop Toys: Women in Warriors Samurai Deluxe (in Red) on pre-order and should be arriving sometime this quarter (Q2 2018), pics will be up when I do get it as my first 1/6 was the Hot Toys: Scar Predator MK.1 (still have it).

A FYI for you @Kicker773 (or if anyone that has a Hot Toys Hulkbuster MK.44)
https://onesixthsociety.com/hot-toys/dont-display-your-hot-toys-hulkbuster-in-a-detolf
I believe that's why @RED WOLF has his DX Chogokin/S.H. Figuarts Hulkbuster MK.44 on the bottom shelf of his display case with the other S.O.C Go Lions as they're too heavy!!
Edit: @no3Ljm - Getting the S.H. Figuarts Iron Man MK. 7 with the Hall of fame armour?
-
Well you can make a 3D print out of just the USS Flag deck @HardlyNever for cheaper (if you have access to the software and the machine that is).
Or you can get a Trackpad from here - http://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=152_203&product_id=4255 and Macro size it to a larger scale for your HMR collection and 1/60 valks (possibly a few 1/48 as well).

@Kicker773: I was going to reply back, however you did reply in the middle of my write up and made it easier for me instead of write a book on it.
@rdrunner: There's the dual detolf mod in the TFW2005 threads that a member has done (and a super one as well).
For easy reference for the mods:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ikea-superdetolf-doubled-up-supercase.1151966/ (The Super Detolf mod)
http://www.tofunction.com/model/2011/02/detolf-dual-mod/ (This is actually a TFW2005 member that did this)
Even in this thread as well.
Edit: Can someone direct me to the 1/6th thread if it's there please.. I haven't got clue in where it is and I did search for it with no results.
-
Anyone for the USS Flag?
Pick and choose your options!
-
Mirage's Supers are up for bids on Fromjapan/Buyee for those didn't make a pre-order.. For those who are waiting for their own copies to arrive, just wait patiently and you'll get it soon.
-
On ebay and glancing at the auction and saw this.
Hmmm.. Looks like a kit bash correct and not the real item by Fext Hobby. Can anyone verify this for the records and I don't want anyone squeeling for joy quite yet until there is an official report that Fext Hobby (a division of MakeToys) is mailing out the actual kits themselves.
-
@Shizuka the Cat: Now you need a VF-22 to round off your Macross 7 collection..
-
@rdrunner: I'm thinking that Manda would give a discount on your next purchase specifically for that location only.
-
Is nin-nin that flipping crazy?! If you do the conversion, that's roughly close to 66.5K Yen..
For that amount, anyone can go for either a Yammie 1/60 V.2 or a 1/48 valk of their choice right there.

35 minutes ago, Shizuka the Cat said:
Oh yeah... my HMR Hikaru VF-1A arrived today. I could not get the leg armor parts to attach initially. Realized it was due to them having attached the back plate to the side leg armor piece in reverse. So I removed, swapped, reversed, and re-attached the back plate for both legs. Kind of surprised how Bandai is doing some sloppy work with this release.
You're the fourth (or fifth?) person that has mentioned the HMR VF-1a Supers..
-
Thanks for the clarification @Sanity is Optional.
Now I have a list of additional valks and add-ons when my copy of Mirage's 31C gets delivered to my house.
-
Am I correct to say that Luca's 171EX didn't have any armoured parts? I believe that his ghost add-ons from his RVF-25 renewal set (and sold individually as well) are most commonly used?
-
So Mirage's Supers are packed like Messer's (not barring like Hayate's and with the full sized coloured instruction sheet).
Don't forget Chuck's 31 afterwards when Arad's is officially released and then you have the entire Delta Squadron in your display case!
@rdrunner: I did steer you in the right direction though.
-
31a up on Manda for 48K yen.

I have a feeling that someone here is going to tar and feather me here for this..
After chatting with @Saburo and @Slave IV on this, this just arrived at my doorstep 10 mins ago and one of the heavily most requested items in Macross lore.
Still sealed in it's box and has the original price sticker on it, although the box as been slightly beaten up. Not going to tell how much I paid for this..
-
I'll be hunting down a copy of Mirage's Supers when either NY [] or Manda gets their stock in plus one of the Banpresto Mirage figures (all thanks to @Saburo's enablement on the Macross Figures thread).
-
@rdrunner: You know that FigInstock is not is business anymore. The other option is to use Distill Web monitor plug in for your Japanese Toy Fixes in which @Sanity is Optional left a link the "FigInStock to be Shutdown" thread.
Edit: Here's the link for us who are tired of doing searches - https://distill.io/

Not to derail the 31 thread in regards here since that @Jasonc and others have mentioned that they will not be ordering stuff from NY anymore, there is another question that I like to ask regardless.
Was there any shortages of any TWE offerings that NY has put up on pre-order and not have been fulfilled after an "x" amount of time besides the 31a?
-
@RED WOLF: My copy of the 1/48 Hikaru (used) is slightly yellowed (not to the extent as @dafob's tester) while the listing says it was sunburnt. Even though I have the Arcadia Strike Roy, I wanted a larger VF-1s version as a complement.
Regardless I can leave the 1/48 as a center piece while the 1/60 will be in battriod, plus I can flip it around upon my moods and won't be putting it on the two top shelves on my detolf.
As per the write up on Jenius' site: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=178 (see January 9th question to January 11th). As for your display case, you can get a roll of UV film and put on. You got blinds in your garage/hobby room (a bonus), and the take the usual precautions needed. Hopefully that you don't have the lights in your display cranked up at maximum as well.
Plus get a pair of cotton gloves to handle the valk (if your going to fiddle with it or shuffle your collection around) as your hand oils may or may not be causing the valk to yellow and less fingerprints also!

@Slave IV: There's a Sivil model kit and now long gone from Manda - https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1085557355&ref=list
I'm sure that you can find one if you poke around online. Just finished watching Macross 7 not long ago. Haven't seen the OVA or the other offerings yet.
-
I don't blame either @Shizuka the Cat, @rdrunner as the Super add ons are means of making us fork our more cash to get what we all itch for (or not to have in this case) and it's subjected to your preferences.
I wasn't actually planning to get any of the Delta valks; however when I ended up watching Delta, I caved in and wasn't sure if I wanted the Mirage's 31C or the Draken. To make a long story short, I ended up passing Arad's 31S and the Draken and pounced on the 31C when I saw a listing on Amiami (pre-owned). Wasn't going to get the Supers until I saw it complete on a post, then I decided to.
7 minutes ago, eXis10z said:Where are you located? I'm letting mine go. Drop me a pm.
Krunc just got the 31J three hours ago from Manda.. However if anyone else wants a 31J, then let eXis10z know (add it on the B/S/T thread if you haven't already).
6 minutes ago, Negotiator said:i usually only get 1 of a type of valk, (not including vf-1), and am fine with them being naked not even considering fast packs. If you buy multiples, totally get it for display purposes.
You got that right.. All my valks that I currently own (four valks and a crap load of HMR) have the add-ons and so will Mirage's when it gets delivered.

Thanks for the help guys, I decided to pounce on the VF-31J for 18k yen. I've had the Macross DX itch for awhile now, hopefully this will hold me over till the YF-19 release.
Don't forget the Super add ons as well: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1071080685&ref=list
Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

Just read a few selected pages back.. Mostly Hot Toys stuff; I guess that you can't win them all..
Here's my second 1/6th figure - Hot Toys: Star Wars - Rogue One Jedha Patrol Stromie (TK14057)
Decked out in full grab and on my balcony.
