Milk Krispy

TV strike parts finally arrived. I know it's not a matching set, but I purchased according to my preferences. Now if only I could get a TV roy for a reasonable price..

He means that pre-orders at MSRP usually sell out within minutes at any given retailer, if not seconds. Also pre-orders go up at 3am EST, midnight PST.

Personally I've gotten every Bandai release that's come out since I started collecting at MSRP, but that's not a common experience.

Any word on when the next pre orders will be in the DX lineup?

I've never heard of the CF design. Which is that?

I really want to see Max and Milia 1J's

Definitely interested in anything that might come as a 2 seater

Anyone have any speculation on future releases?

FWIW in the show Hikaru flies that 1S both in space and on Earth. Though I honestly forget if Super Parts are ever used in atmosphere. Anyone with a definitive answer on that?

If you want to play it safe, you could copy Max and paint it as Hikaru for a space suit.

 

Rewatched the OG series a few weeks ago. I think the super pack was intended for space only

What is the tab insert on the gun used for?

Even got the model going in DCS so I can pretend i get to fly it too

I'm officially part of the club! Arrived at my doorstep today after a weird 10 day handling time. First hands on, this thing is A M A Z I N G. I thought I understood the hype, but now I really understand. Cant wait for the super parts!

EDIT:
Realizing now how disheveled it is in this photo, but it's the only one I took that came out clear in the lighting

After seeing the availability on FJ for all the other variants, I firmly believe we'll all be able to get a Roy when released. I only wish I knew about FJ sooner, cause 10 day handling times are spooky and scalpers scalp.

Had it in my cart and it errored on purchase. Hurts man.

I ordered off of ebay 2 weeks ago and the seller has created a shipping label, but still has not given the item to fedex. I asked last week, he said "this weekend". I asked again tonight, he said this weekend.

Should I just cancel this and order off of From Japan for my Hikaru 1S, or wait till the sept 3rd delivery date even though I paid extra shipping after the fact to get the item sooner?

Seems with all the variants we have another 2-3 years or so of SDFM and DYRL releases coming. Other than the YF-21 that should be coming as well, I wonder where Bandai will go with the Macross line from here. New TV series? Somehow acquiring the Macross Zero license? 

Hopefully they'll make a run for the ELINT Seeker and super ostrich which both seem pretty commonly made molds.

I'd also like to see a 1D model, and the regular gray/brown military scheme

Honest question here.

Can anyone explain me the logic of showing TV Super Parts in a Tamashii event on a Roy TV VF-1S??????

I know Bandai shenanigans, been a MW member since 2000!

But why??? If it was Yamato doing this back in the day, there would have been angry fans with pitchforks waiting in line.

What's the point of marketing these Super Parts with Roy's VF-1 when they are only canon to Hikru's VF-1S??? They pay the Hoary Froating head toadvertise the DX but canon be damned!!!

I'm not judging anyone, we are all adults and we can do as we please with our hard earned money. But are these parts confirmation of a Hikaru VF-1S in the future????

Up till 5am last night. Hit the hay cause it didn't seem like anything was gonna happen, and I miss the Roy shot lol. I'm keeping my eye on play-asia I'll post if it goes up and i can catch it

Any likelihood of other online shops posting some roys soon or is that ship fully sailed?

Yeah, I wanted to see how everyone did on their hunt for Roy...and I saw this.

This site costs me money...every time I try to stay away, it brings me back.

I was psychicly bullied into buying this stuff. About a year ago i encountered a "robotech" toynami 1/100 in a random geek theme shop, and decided i didnt have the cash for it at the time. I used to have one, but my old job stole it from me. I was never much impressed with the build quality, but nonetheless, i'm a macross fan since as long as i could remember, and just having some form of macross toy made me happy.

The point: fast forward to about 3 weeks ago, I'm tormented by recurring dreams that I'm searching through endless toy shops looking for any macross toy i can find just to have one, lol, but its a nightmare, i always have to leave the store empty handed. I decided enough is enough, and i have to finally pick up a good VF-1. Research lead me to find the dx would satiate all my desires and not fall apart like the toynami, and conveniently its all coming out pretty recently, which is cool.


Now im over 500 deep into my first real collectors pieces and i couldnt be happier. Hopefully the dreams stop.

Pre-order madness strikes again and after the TV DX 1s Roy!!  

I'll say. I started my night trying to hunt down a DX Roy that was ballpark close to the pre-order prices I have seen, and ended up finding out about these TV parts and going on a goose chase for em.

Ordered from Okini, no time to wait around on proxies. Stoked for this! Now I just have to wait for my shipping info on my 1S to be updated since i ordered ebay for way too much before i knew about any of these japan sites.

I just submit a request with Sendico. Hoping that wasnt a mistake, but I'm a total noob at this

With cancelled FJ orders is it worth placing again to hope another buyer can secure it, or is the offer over?

Got my order placed with FJ.

Any likelyhood I won't receive the product? Lastly, how long should i expect for charge 2 to appear?

You guys are awesome thanks!

Man I can't seem to find this anywhere on fromjapan

Popping in just to ask. What's the big diff between TV parts and DYRL parts other than trading missles for the gun?

Lastly, please help a bro out with a link for where to look for the pre order on this. After 10 years of wishing, i finally took the dive into a DYRL hikaru VF1S and I think the missles + strike parts would look superb on it, especially if I can find the set at a fair price. I can pay marked up prices for a figure, but have a much harder time doing it for accessories.
