What's the release date on this thing anyways? 

No exact date Dec 2018, but knowing Tamashii stuff - its always towards the end of the month.

Cdjapan, 20,000 yen with discount incl shipping to NZ, not bad, not bad at all.......

Wondering if my mate will still get the Ami Ami one - got one for him, also a really good price for 16,000 yen

Next best option would be NY if you can't grabbed one from CDJ https://www.nippon-yasan.com/25676-super-dimensional-fortress-macross-dx-chogokin-vf-1j-valkyrie-ichijo-hikaru-custom.html

I cancelled my order from AE - but still showing sold out..

NY crashed.

Lucky got one at Ami Ami and Cdjapan

all the best everyone!!!!! hopefully everyone can score one!!!

Your local time, my time would be 7 pm and says on the website 7 pm which is equivalent to 4 pm JPT

How is HJL safe compare to others?

In terms of ordering stuff from them? Very safe! One of the best in the biz! Mind you there was a pre order madness for Aile Strike Metal Build and a few orders got cancelled, some sort of a problem on their website. (lucky my order was safe)

We will find out in 3 hours time

wow 16K yen!!! Very very nice price indeed!!!!!!

The packaging looks nice. 

I noticed that there seems to be some extra room for an additional slender box.  For the display stands?

Yes, that extra room is for the special stand that will come with the figure on the initial PO release

Damn this VF-1J is only simply - but a classic and it is so clean!!!!

See you guys tomorrow night on the PO madness! It would be 7 pm here NZ time!

Hi guys, where abouts is the die cast content for this guy? Sorry new to this DX game

I forget; HLJ doesn't charge til it ships, right? Same with the others?

That is correct, except for Anime Export where you need to pay upfront and will charge you later for shipping

I don't have any macross/valkyrie collection, so this would be a great start also scale wise for me

Very nice!!!!!

Will it come with two stands??

19K yen is not too bad + retail discount, should be looking at 17 to 18K yen, wow! Can't wait!!!!!!

My favorite Valkyrie! Day one purchase! Soo excited!!!!

Welcome! It sounds like you got a solid order in for the YF-19? Congrats! That night was painful for me...stayed up to 4 am, trying to get the DX, MB and SOC releases at the same time!

Thank you! I only got the PO secured yesterday from mykombini! Thanks F360! Also recommended that if you want your first DX figure - go with this one.

During the PO night I was focus on the MB Aile but seeing this I was like man, that looks cool, only knew Macross plus from playing SRW!

Sites going down, sluggish - man, you got 3x monters for PO that night! This, MB Strike and God Sigma (god sigma, not so bad to grab) I managed to grabbed MB Aile from HLJ, no cancellation email so I guess my order is safe?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward on owning more Macross figures! I'm keeping an eye on the DX chogokin VF-1J  since I grew up watching that series. I guess its just a matter of time when they formally announce it as part of the Valk project.

Hi guys! New to the board! Came from RJ Boards!

Always admired Macross figures and been a big fan of the series but never had an actual Macross toy (I only had a very small plastic one when I was a kid)

Seen my uncle's collection of jets and always admired jet fighters ever since!

I'm looking forward to this release and looks like this would be my first DX Macross chogokin figure! I mainly collect MBs and SoCs
