    I decided to order another VF-1S DYRL Hikaru Mechanic Edition so if anyone is looking for just the regular release VF-1S DYRL Hikaru, I'll be listing it in the For Sale section soon.

    did you find one for under $400 somewhere?

    I guess I'd be part of the target audience for this.  I only have 1 VF-31 (Arad) and he's usually suited up in his sumo suit armored parts.  I like the VF-31, and the super parts but... I don't know if I care to get this.  Maybe will get it if/when it goes on discount from a stateside retailer (like Amazon).

    Is anyone else concerned on the number of reissues/"revivals" we're getting at this point?  I know Macross is niche, and we haven't gotten a truly new IP in... like 8 years, but is this like... the beginning of the end?  Macross collecting just seems flooded with reissues, where as 5-6 years ago we were getting actually new stuff pretty regularly.

    you want a discounted VF-31AX from the first release? I have 4 and need to get rid of one , ill give it to you at nearly half price

    Your not alone after I looked at more pictures it's weird . several past anniversary Macross stuff still on my list I'll just stay focused on them instead.

    It would be a shame to let it go. Would it be possible to just replace the entire left shoulder? You may be able to pop the arm off and detach the shoulder armor.

    There's an eBay user that offers replacement MB parts. I just ordered a few things myself.

     

    As someone who buys multiple KO/3rd Party builds a year , repair is something im familiar with. Its just where it broke is right at the hinge and there isnt enough mating material to keep it from breaking upon movement. So once its repaired the shoulder armor is going to be locked in that position and i didnt want that. So its better to re home it in my opinion. 

    I know which ebay people you are talking about , there are a couple of them. One quoted me $45 and the other $60 for the shoulder. Shipping would be $15-20. My OCD self is just going to buy a new one for $220 and have a complete color matched set

    Of course Bandai reissues a pair of add-ons that are not very difficult to get instead of a Gunbarrel or Gerbera set

    I know its not technically bandai but if you dont want to pay $300 or whatever the going rate is , there is always this. Metal Kingdom stuff is fairly decent

    I doubt it will go down at that amount since it's a physical store exclusive. Unless they decided to mass release it without the dock afterwards then the price might go down if no one will buy it.

    The other DX CHogokin RX 78 released at 300-350 and then it dipped down to $2-240 ish, same thing with that "night version" . Were those not store exclusives?

    If you are interested Mandarake has some Protozan Units on offer right now.

    Mandarake has screwed me over on a couple of macross planes. I have trust issues with them. I have a 4th set pre ordered from Sugo Toys , they usually deliver but they drag ass on pre orders. Not sure if I want to buy a 4th from Mandarake or Ebay only to have Sugo come through right after I make the purchase
