    BANDAI SPIRITS will sell two types of DX superalloys from the "Macross" series by lottery on the online shopping site "Premium Bandai". Both will be sold by lottery from 11:00 on January 21st to 23:00 on 27th, and the price is 4,070 yen for the "DX Chogokin VF-1 Compatible Missile Set" and the "DX Chogokin Movie Version VF-1 Compatible Strike /" "Super Parts Set" is 8,800 yen.

    　The lottery sale will be carried out from "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" to "DX Chogokin VF-1" compatible missile set. It is an item that can reproduce the AMM-1 missile equipment specifications that appeared in the opening and the play, and a large anti-ship reaction bullet and a micro missile pod are set.

    　On the other hand, "DX Chogokin Movie Version VF-1 Compatible Strike / Super Parts Set" is an item linked to the VF-1 series. This can reproduce the strike Valkyrie by combining with "DX Chogokin Movie version VF-1S Valkyrie (Ichijo Kaiki)". In addition to the strike pack set, the HMMP-02 micro missile pod, 4 types of skull mark parts, etc. are included in the set.

    Thanks for the info!

    Now we are just paying 5,000 yen more than retail price instead of 10,000 yen :) That´s a big deal :D

    That's a curious thing, how are the prices trending for them?

    A few weeks ago they were around 18,000 - 20,000 yen like Mandarake current price but now they are around 12,000 -14,000 yen, it is a good moment to get one of those. It is just weird everybody is selling them right now, I didn't hear of of a new release.

    Unfortunately I got it on ebay and the seller isn't responding yet so I probably won't be able to go that route.  I'll try the ABS plastic glue that Angesdad mentioned.

    Thanks for all your replies guys, much appreciated :)

    You can probably fill a claim against the seller, get back your money and try a different seller, you should try.

    Hey guys I just imported a chogokin valk from Japan which, you know that center piece that clips into the canope and holds the legs onto the valk in robot mode?  The grey piece of plastic that is hinged off of the metal piece.  Anyway, that plastic came broken from the factory.  What would you guys do?  Bug the seller about it or just glue it and leave it be?  And also would I want to use Tamiya thin model glue to get a good bond?  Thanks for your advice.

    I had the same problem with one VF-1J Armored I purchased from OkiniLand and they exchanged the piece, it took a lot of time but finally the piece was shipped to me these days. If you bought it from a store with good reputation try this, Okini told me they sent it back to Bandai for a replacement. I tried to glue it but it didn't work as expected so I just took the long road for an exchange.
