HLJ hung at the paypal payment page for me of all places...the final step!
-
Eh, got HobbySearch and HLJ into cart but both died on me afterwards....welp.
Oh well I got the armor set on PO, so at least I have backup. Will piskup the combo if I see it for a good price elsewhere.

Yes, VF-1S Focker was on Amazon, but you need to use a forward shipper...
Some sellers were able /willing to ship to US, at least in my case. It was generally available for about a week afterwards.

What was the last DX Macross item offered via Amazon.jp? Don't recall if the Roy-1S made the cut....not holding out hope for this release to be made available via AJ...but crossing fingers! Maybe the HG/BW deal made it even less likely now...
I remember Roy 1S was offered on Amazon. JP by some sellers afterwards. I got my second copy that way. Here's hoping for the same here.

Well crud. I look at the pictures more about how maneuverable it looks and now I have non-buyers remorse. My Yamato 148 GBP is such a brick. Oh well maybe they'll reissue this in 6 months or something. They seem to do it with the other super and strike packs.
They'll probably reissue it in another color scheme like Max or Roy.

Kurama opened up a PO for $145 USD for the VF-1J Armored parts, I was able to get one but before I can even post it here. Sold out
They just raised it to 160 and opened it up again...

One of the few places I really trust:
Edit - that said, they did overcharge me pretty viciously on the Armored parts for the VF-31... so your mileage may vary
Yeah I got my strike pack through them as well.

I guess...they got my money and I have an order in. I noticed the pre-order page just as yman1437 was posting about it. But I looked a second time and realized they would actually take the order, so...fingers crossed. I ordered TV Super packs in the past through Kurama and had no issue.
Came here to post the link from Kurama Toys too... I preordered through them as well. Just so I don't have to stay up to 3am kind of madness, getting too old for that lol.
Still might try to snag a combo set.

To me...this is the ideal color for a TV GBP....not blue, not grey...bluish grey! lol
Something close to the 283347 below....
If the finished product looks like the one shown during the Tamashii video...I'll be good with it...seems closer to the 647187 above....
Man I have to say I really really dig the Roy color scheme...olive green makes it soooo military. Max's blue is too bright and oversaturated for me, but I guess ace pilot plot armor can be flashy?

Make it whatever shade you want by turning your lights up more or less.
Good point, also if we're being real technical the colors show up differently on your monitors depending on how color calibrated it is...so pictures can be misleading, particularly digital ones. I don't have confidence in Bandai to nail colors, just see the recent release of the Metal Build F91 Chronicle White Ver....They should have called it Chronicle Yellow! All the promo images had it as a cooler white, but the real thing looks like...the same kinda yellowing you see on your aged valks due to UV. They pre-aged it for us! No worries about displaying it in sunlight now!

Those guys are sketchy , they got over on me for $750 on the last Metal Structure Fin Funnel pre order. They wont ship for 90 days so you cant leave feedback on them via ebay. In my case I was charged and the item never shipped . I tried reaching out to them multiple times to which they politely told me to pound sand. I was unable to use Ebay or Paypal claims service as the item went beyond the protection window. They also scrub their youtube comments to get rid of the hate. If you want to gamble away $1500 thats on you guys.
That's ridiculous... You weren't able to dispute with your credit card company?
Something similar happened to me with an eBay preorder, the release date was past 6 months so no way to dispute and seller just gave me the runaround. Learned my lesson after that. At least it was just $130 or so.

Yeah, if they do a reissue with fixes like the 29, I’m in. Otherwise, I’ll just enjoy the pics shared.
Same here, I can't bring myself to pay the current secondary market prices but the Ozma is my favorite. Hope they do a reissue with matte finish and armor parts!

HMR 1s Roy (sans the stand) for 17,080 yen [Box B, Item B+]
Man these HMR are pricey on secondary market. You can get one of the less popular DX for this price...
-
Got this new from Mandarake for fairly cheap... But of course it doesn't come with a stand. It's meant to be the fold version, so doesn't make sense to have landing gear out and I'll never transform it. What stand options are compatible with the DX VF-25 ver 1.0 mold in flight mode?
-
This is literally the only reason I have a 1J...so I hope it's sold separately! If it's a bundle then it's gonna be close to $400 MSRP no?

One can only hope the Valks most want will be.
For some perspectives, I believe those Wing Gundam GFFMCs and Metal Builds were rather quite difficult to get from P-Bandai USA/Bluefin.
Eh, it wasn't that bad as long as you paid attention and ordered when it released. Perhaps more difficult later on due to popularity. The PO for many tamashii web exclusive metal builds stay open for quite a while on P-Bandai USA, while they sell out in a couple minutes on the Japanese site. It's been great for TWEs as those always have been the iffiest.
GFFMC Wing you could actually order 6 copies when it released, which I should have done lol. Snow white prelude I was able to get through Bluefin rather easily as well.

Fingers crossed that they aren't just rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship. If they get their act together, I might order from them again, but for now, I just hope that everyone with open orders gets them fulfilled.
Yeah I'm gonna wait and see...their customer service wasn't very responsive/helpful to begin with even before these issues, so they always have been more of a last resort for me. I guess we shall see...

Factor in a guesstimate Y5400 for shipping the total is Y34000. That's around $310.20 in today's conversion.
P-Bandai and it's easy to order? How I wish it's always like this.
Oh I'm not complaining, P-Bandai USA is great for us collectors. Just this one isn't for me is all. I'm happy with the Full Cloth.

Wow, that's $20 more than I thought it would go for. $300+ once you factor in shipping and tax. Pass for me.

Did they say how much it would be from p-bandai USA?
Based on past pricing, likely something like 260 or so pre-tax and shipping. Probably 280 once all is said and done.

I am fighting the urge to buy the Chronicle White version because I already have the original release plus the weapon set. I don't need another white F91, I keep telling myself that.
I compared the pics to the original, and I honestly think this new version and all its decals messes up the look. Maybe the matte paint finish will look nice though? With white plastic I'm always worried about yellowing.
