That's certainly what it seems like.

I like how they operate. People still ordering, make more. I wish Bandai was like that too. I do really like my only Valk from them. It does seem like the workmanship on them is very good. I keep leaning closer and closer to just pre-ordering the Ivanov SV-51
-
Figured as much. I only have one Arcadia but I might get a couple more down the road if I decide there's something I have to have.

Also be sure to check out this thread before you post @Dinosaur:

So what's the deal with it being easier to get Arcadia Macross toys as opposed to the Bandai DX line? Is it just simply the higher price point of the Arcadia's making it less appealing to Scalpers or something else?
-
One option is to post in the Wanted thread here: https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/10-wanted/ Maybe someone is looking to sell one and they can hook you up.

Bandai DX GBP Armor Set and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie
Special Sauce replied to jvmacross's topic in Toys
The light up effects of this are pretty awesome. -
I'm right there with you @vladykins . The postmaster general needs to be taken out of his position. He's been purposely trying to ruin the post office from within for years. All it does is hurt all of us if we lose a reliable institution like the post office. It's not perfect but it's better than the private shipping companies.

I do have a bottle of that so maybe I'll be fine if I get one
-
Ahh I see. The way it's worded it read like it's a new mold altogether. In the review he commented on the various shoulder hinges being quite loose and not able to support holding the gun or the extra accessories that are attached to the wings. There's not a locking mechanism that helps to keep them in place, at least in Gerwalk mode.
-
All too familiar with it. It says in the description that's it's a new mold so hopefully they addressed all the hinge issues.

Luna Park still has it for preorder but I think you have to pre-pay: https://www.lunapark.store/product-page/dx-chogokin-armored-parts-set-for-vf-1j-japan-version

Damn that is impressive! That's not just dedication, it's obsession LOL! Though I can't blame you. I've already acquired a DX Roy and his Arcadia VF-0S so I feel you. I'll probably never be able to be as committed as yourself but I certainly can appreciate it!

When I read the durability and build section of that review my heart sank. The other aspects of the review seemed good to go. It might be a better move to wait until this is released and see a review before pulling the trigger. That way it'll be known if these older issues were addressed. Spending $400+with shipping on a new toy and have those problems still be an issue (minus the ankle/foot issue) would make me feel regret over spending that much.
-
I do really like that SV-51 Ivanov on HLJ. I'm hesitant because of the QC issues I've read on here about the previous iterations. If I was going to get one of those enemy fighters it would be that one. I love that dark color scheme. How were the previous releases, issues aside, were they pretty solid? It looks like it could be fragile.
-
I'll take any little savings I can get
-
I used to collect threeA their sister company before they closed shop and became their own thing. I think they're called Underverse now. Got sick of the bad QC issues and ridiculous wait times for them to produce the items they made you pay ahead for. Not sure how Threezero operates. Sounds like they're better.

[Netflix] Masters of the Universe: Revelation
Special Sauce replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I agree, I remember the story in the comics being better also. I did of course watch the tv show as a kid but the toys were what I really loved. -
[Netflix] Masters of the Universe: Revelation
Special Sauce replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah! I miss those old comics. The covers for those were great. Man I forgot all about those little comics. Wish I had kept them. -
That's a great birthday present
-
Ahh Gotcha. I didn't know that the whole pre-order madness thing was a more recent phenomena.
-
So I'm just curious. It's well known how difficult it is to obtain these when they're first up for pre-order. How were you able to get multiples? It seems like just getting one is hard.

Bandai DX GBP Armor Set and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie
Special Sauce replied to jvmacross's topic in Toys
That would look cool as a model diorama. -
Yeah I'd definitely be down for that one. I love my VF-0S PF. It's a beauty.
-
At some point it would seem like the shipping will cost as much as the toy itself. Well hopefully we'll start seeing more US retailers carrying Bandai and Arcadia stuff so we don't have to get bent over for overseas shipping.
