    I need you to sweep all the sunlight off that airstrip.

    The Snow White EW box is definitely bigger and heavier than a VF-0D which I paid around ~$100 to ship via DHL using FromJapan. I also ordered a Snow White from KuramaToys and haven't gotten it nor have they messaged me that they have it in their possession. I do have more PO items from them so I don't mind waiting and stocking them up in their warehouse. I just wish they'd respond to my inquiry. In fairness though I just sent that email in the past day or two and there's supposedly a big holiday in Japan going on right now. They might be out of office for a week.

    I'm doing this as well but am also using a cover to keep dust off my boxes as much as possible. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M145490/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You're absolutely right that they're great and it's so easy to get to everything you may ever want to get to. I only have three so far but will likely expand to six.

    1/144 scale made mostly with titanium. Too rich for my blood.

    The only way to get the pilot is to purchase a sub direct from their website. I tried this using a Tenso address but got held up on the not Japanese card. You might end up with more luck. I really wanted the pilot as well but I think I'm too far in now to worry about it. https://hcj.jp/vf1/home.html?_ga=2.145301044.185916946.1596676843-1196244914.1596676843

    I think they did tease an expansion pack with Strike packs on it but it was just a black silhouette. Who knows for sure. I think we'll find out once we start building the thruster/leg sections if it's even possible. Edit: Confirmed on page 2 of this thread. Strike pack as an option. It's on the first page of the first kit. Maybe there will be ~150 total kits?

    I'd recommend checking the for sale section and following this thread. If your email blows up, chances are there's chatter in here regarding a new release and dates. The last pre order was for Roy Folkers VF-1S in early July. You could try proxy buying from Amazon JP or Yahoo Japan auctions at a markup. Also, keep in mind that it's very rare for most of us to buy any Macross item at MSRP.

    I just got my Metal Structure fin funnels and wing Snow White. I was completely wrong about the funnels and not being able to add more than two. With a little modification (using a screw driver) you can add as many as you want. I think the only limiting factors here would be weight/stress on the backpack where the fins connect. You can add two at a time.

    They opened it. Played with it. And now they’re trying to figure out how to get it back in the box without it being too obvious.

    I had mine coming along with my Fin Funnels but FedEx decided to not deliver Stupid FedEx..

    As someone who came from a V1 Yamato and purchased an Arcadia Milia PF edition, I expected to get blown away, but I wasn't. There was definitely less die cast and folding the tail pack up for gerwalk & battroid mode was a nightmare. I thought I was going to break it. The fast pack covers aren't held on very well and keep sliding off. The side cavity fillers keep falling out. I have to admit that I don't know if I'm doing something wrong here. I also have two first edition 1/48 Yamato VF-1S and VF-1A. I love the size but as many have pointed out the arms and hands aren't proportioned very well and the nose cones for both easily pop off. The gun doesn't hold well in the tiny hands and mine did not come with an extra set as later versions did. I never purchased the SSPs for either. The vanilla Bandai DX feels great in hand and is easy to transform. I don't really care about the T-Bracket coming apart to allow for joint swivel. I usually prefer the hip swivel and am glad that option is there. Whatever makes it easier to transform without me feeling like I'm going to break it. Adding the super strike packs add significant weight to the toy and like many have said, the arms don't lock in place in jet mode and can be very annoying. Definitely an oversight. The heft makes all the joints feel looser and all the extra articulation makes is that much easier to fall over without the use of a stand. My VF-1J with SSP installed prefers to do a split and attempts to do so every time I'm not looking or at the slightest touch. An aggressive leg stance without some stand support is close to out of the question.

    I just got mine shipped from DeJapan as well. 2 Metal Structure Fin Funnel packs and a Snow White = $100 in shipping via FedEx. Double Packed.

    He was banned. But it turns out he was right about Kakizaki being the next DX even though all of his images were of a completed Hasegawa kit.

    A VF1-D would be kick-ass but I think it will be something more mundane like a VF1-J Hikaru re-issue (with some improvements) followed almost immediately after by GBP Armor

    I usually use a toothpick. I push one door down which gives me enough space to fit a toothpick in there to fish the other door open.
  20. Grey728
    Sounds like a nightmare to transform based on @jenius review. I might get one more. One to transform and another to leave in jet form. I dunno yet!
  21. Grey728
    Sorry Alan. That sucks to hear. Hopefully Paypal refunds you soon. Anyways, I couldn't resist any longer. At least I got a SV-262H at near retail price?
  22. Grey728
    I'll take you up on this offer. Just PM me.
  23. Grey728
    You have enough already too haha. You don't need anymore either.. .. and it's DHL.
  24. Grey728
    I dunno. it's $288 shipped to my door. I'm not sure how much it would cost with shipping from FJ. It needs to go away already as I'm way over budget on toys this month.

    Someone needs to buy this before I do... Shipping to US and it's getting harder to resist. https://www.amazon.co.jp/超時空要塞マクロス-劇場版VF-1S-約300mm-ダイキャスト製-塗装済み可動フィギュア/dp/B07SH712YR/ref=sr_1_19?dchild=1&keywords=超合金魂&qid=1594338651&sr=8-19
