Tempting, but with the DX YF-19 readily available, I'll have to pass

Hey all, looking to buy a Chronos from overseas. Does buying it sealed have a risk of getting a yellowed copy? 

Looking for this 3rd party Sazabi figure that released a few years ago. Cant find any place selling it that doesnt look fishy. 

If you are willing to let one go, let me know and maybe we can figure out a sale. Thanks

To those who bought through AmiAmi: how much was shipping?

I think there was a replacement piece you could get from Shapeways. I've had this happen to 2 of my vf-25 gunpods. Both A models I think. They made them super tight that they break when you try to open them. Not sure if the item is still in shapeways. It was years ago it was offered.

Thanks for the help! I think I found the part. https://www.shapeways.com/product/STXS9DCFM/macross-vf-25-gun-attachment?optionId=42656222&li=shops 

I'll keep an eye on it as a backup plan ... I'm hoping to find something that will weld the parts together with a strong bond.

My apologies if this is the wrong place to post, but I just encountered a breakage on the c-clip hinge of my DX VF-25A's gunpod. I have the small piece that broke and tried using Mr. Cement S (which is what I use on my Hasegawa models) but it didnt stick. Any advice on what product to use or any alternate ways to make the gunpod work again? 

Big thanks to @sumyumgoy for the CCSToys Gurren Lagann! Smooth transaction and excellent packaging.

How long has it been since Hasegawa has done a new fighter mode mold? Would love to see a 1/48 YF-21 or a Chronos.

Is the show over?  I wish there was some concrete info about availability on this. 

From my understanding, the event goes from Nov. 18 to Nov 20 in JP, so it hasn't started yet. I assume we're getting more info during or after the event.

Hey all, I'm looking for the original release Arcadia VF-0D toy. Saw one on AmiAmi, but the price was too high (above PF MSRP) for a toy with known flaws, and they couldn't provide specific info about the condition of the item. Wondering if I could find a 0D for a good price here. Thanks!

I clicked the YF-19 Full Set Pack in the survey. I'm surprised they have not announced a WW release yet! 

On another note, asked for the DX VF-31A Kairos!

Thanks, I'll check out the Mig Shaders. From what I just looked up on YouTube, it looks forgiving to use and produces great results. Thinking of airbrushing Tamiya flat clear for the base coat, with Ash Black over the panels. Great work on the Isamu, your pics will serve as inspiration 😀

@MacrossJunkie Your weathering looks amazing. What techniques do you use? I want to weather my YF-29 Isamu like you did with your VF-25A.

Meanwhile, I'm over here wanting another run of MC or SL Kshatriya... Prob not happening 😢

This isn't an anime production. From the looks of it, it's a mecha designed by Kawamori for a mobile game.

A few finds on AliExpress:

Kit looks awesome. I'm surprised with how Hasegawa pulled off the leg articulation.

Looking for this Bandai Transformable Macross kit. Willing to buy the Mirage VF-31C even if it's already assembled, as long as there aren't any glaring issues with broken/missing parts or the like.

Thanks

Would love a rerun of the YF-19 full set pack. Maybe it will come around alongside the YF-21. 

Also hoping for a rerun of the vanilla 31A Kairos. Bandai sure left a lot of money on the table with how exclusive it was.

Hopefully we'll start seeing a stream of new molds following this one!

How were the EMS prices like in comparison to DHL before the pandemic?

I've actually never had -that- much trouble finding the Hasegawa kits in local CA hobby shops, but that's good to see.  How much did they have it going for there?

It was $115, if I recall correctly.

I think it is a similar to paying for it at retail price with shipping (at current shipping costs) to the US, but I could be wrong.

Just saw the Klan VFG at my local Hobbytown USA. Here's to more Macross stuff in the states!
