  1. The irony is strong with this statement. Is this sarcasm? I am on the macross forums right? How many VF-XXAJSD do you have in how many different scales? I'm genuinely curious. Anyways, if this were transformers there would be multiple 3rd and 4th party companies falling all over themselves trying to release a product at half the cost that the official company (Takara/Hasbo) ever would and a significantly higher quality to boot. The competition for your money is fierce in the TF market. I'm only now realizing that and it's made buying anything else 'feel' over priced.
  2. It's a KO that costs $1100 USD and it still needs to be painted? Hard pass for me. Maybe send this to LEK so he can do something with this.
  3. Usually these are sold with just one WoL set (2 wings) in a separate box but the listing you linked to has 2 sets (4 Wings). It looks impressive but it doesn't 'feel' impressive. I've had a few close calls almost dropping the damn thing. It's a lot of weight distributed over a large space all on one small peg in it's back like any typical metal build. That peg is made of dense plastic.
  4. Yes. Slightly over 2 ft tall and 2 ft wide. It’s a pain to display with the quad wings of light attached to it. In all honesty this is my least favorite 1/72 Gundam that I own. The wings of light have a wow factor to them but the Gundam itself is average. The stand sucks because sometimes I just want my Gundam to stand there with support. This stand doesn’t drop low enough to do so.
  5. I think someone here mixed and matched a VF-1J head, MAX VF-A body and back to the VF-1J legs.
  6. Meh.. they'll probably just rebrand and we'd never know it. "NY closed?! Good riddance!! Hey everyone check out this new shop call YN!! They sell macross products too!"
  7. Here's the cheapest I've found with pay later option and free shipping: https://awesomecollector.com/collections/godzilla/products/voltron-defender-of-the-universe-blitzway-carbotix-series
  8. You have a really good point. yeah.. I kinda do to. My mind (and wallet) is saying no, but my body's saying yes! Me too and I'll take yellow or blue one. I don't care as long as the accessory is a giant shield or missile. I might even buy a yellow AND blue one.
  9. I still find it a bit funny that we get upset over a color swap and head change on anything else other than transformers or Macross. Everything else is a money grab!!
  10. Christ.. another Astraea.. I bet they'll come out with exclusive avalanche/weapons pack for this one as well at the same or higher cost than the figure itself.. Anyone know just how many variants of this thing there are?
  11. Thanks! I moved it to the other side of my display case. It’s still a work in progress.
  12. Happy to have mine arrive today.
  13. I think $600 is low for something with this much diecast and size. It weights 5lbs and is over 14" tall. Combines, includes a stand, painted pilots, light up eyes. I think we're looking at $800 to $999 for this to be honest.
  14. Shouldn't be too long now. I can see a VF-1A as being the next release...
  15. You could also visit anymoon.com. @jenius has a pretty extensive list of toys, release dates, original MSRP, etc that could help you.
  16. I LOVE details like this. It's probably too much to hope that the pilot is painted? At the very least molded in the correct color?
  17. I think there are still a few people here that had a pay later option, paid when the item was expected to arrive, and still didn't receive their item. Good luck to you and please let us know how it turns out.
