Hey @herlock99

Are any of the 1/100 Hi-Metals still available?

I'm interested in:

 1/100 VF-1J Armored Valkyrie - Hi-Metal R Bandai Hikaru Ichijo 1st release - new sealed $200 

1/100 VF-1J Super Valkyrie - Hi-Metal R Bandai Hikaru Ichijo - opened and displayed robot mode, never transformed $80 

1/100 VF-1S Strike Valkyrie - Hi-Metal R Bandai Roy Focker + special standing base - opened and displayed Gerwalk mode, so half transformed once $185

Cant afford all of them now, but at least 1 or 2. Wondering if I could trouble for pictures if available. Thank you.

I want to add a +1 to @VF-1A Cannon Fodder . I just got back to a place to restart my Macross collection itch. 3 Bandai Hi-Metal valks. Elintseeker/Millia VF-1J and VF-1A Super Valkerie. Seamless and at a price I couldn't possibly find any where else. Thank you @VF-1A Cannon Fodder

They seem to be doing re-runs of the most popular sets, 000, 101, and 102F.  There's also a reseller on ebay who seems to have all of them, but he wants almost double the price.  I made the mistake of buying a 102F off of him thinking that these were a limited run thing like most Macross stuff seems to be... then the very next week Fext came out with more of that exact model. 

I think I have a few of the sellers stuff saved in my ebay account. But twice the amount, I just cant justify the cost. That's what I get for taking a break on collecting. 

Wonder if there's any plans to do a re-run of some of the old 1/100 already sold out.

How are the color schemes chosen once they are pre-ordered? I'm looking at the VF-1J above, Low vis version has 2 shades of blue, but on the site the version D is dark gray. Just asking for clarification purposes.

1/48 Bandai VF-1J found. Looking for Hi-Metal Rs 1/100. Only one I have is Super Max. Thanks people!

Thank you for the heads up!

Thank you!

That helps. If I am correct in counting the X's in front before the @ symbol, I think I have a solid idea as it is first initial/last name. I am confident I know what the second X after M is. I am also confident that , that former provider no longer exists in my state. Regardless this does help.

I can give you a hint about your old email.    xxxxxxxx@mX.Xr.com   Hope that jogs your memory.

 

Obviously the X's replace letters....or do they?  Hmmm....only the REAL Rune would know.

hmmm...four letter extension. Not many that I can think of.  The plot thickens.

Thank you for the response Danger Ace. I'll give it a go. If it's what I recall I haven't had that email for ages. Thank you again!

Good morning everyone,

   Just got back to a place where I can slowly begin collecting again. The title above says it all. I know that the 1/48 Bandai VF-1J is gonna be rough, but its a beautiful piece. I have checked on Ebay and the price is a little steep but, if I can find it here first that would be ideal. As for the Bandai VF-1 1/100 series I plan to slowly pick away at obtaining those. Thank you for looking.

Good morning, afternoon or evening. I am seeking assistance in an area I am not sure who to reach out to. I joined MW over 10 years ago. My original Username was Rune. I have had a long time away doing life and have finally gotten to a point where I can afford (man did I miss a lot of great toys) renewing my collection. The issue I have is, I think that my previous username had an email I am not able to even recall. So, today I created a new user profile to at least start. However being that the original one holds very fond memories with the members here as well as the time it was created I am asking if anyone knows who I ask/seek to get that one back. Or even if it is possible. If not then oh well.

Thank you everyone.
