If anyone's lamenting their inability to secure the Super-O, stop. This thing's a floppy POS. I've bought most every post-original series Macross DX and I have to confess that this is the first time I've been disappointed with a DX. I transformed it from valkyrie to battroid and I don't care if I ever set eyes upon it again. I'm disgusted thoroughly. Who wants it? Make me an offer.

Fast/Express Shipping via FedEx to TN in 1-day didn't incur any additional custom bill. Perfect shipping and delivery. No hassle. Arrived in perfect condition. YMMV.

Mine arrived today via FedEx. I find it absolutely incomprehensible that it shipped yesterday from Japan and I now have it in hand one day later. I have a lot of respect for flight crews now. I was in Bora Bora on Tuesday and arrived back in the states on Thursday and my body is absolutely wrecked. However well flight crews are paid, it’s not enough.

Luna Park shipped mine today.
-
That was a fascinating share. TY. [In other news, I’m now fluent in Japanese and might even be a citizen of Japan thanks to that video.]
-
I'm glad you asked. Upon checking, I see that I have only the Roy and Max preordered. It's hard for me to keep things straight when I pre-order items years in advance and lose track of them.
-
I’ve had these on preorder from ShowZ for months praying they became reality.
-
Glad to hear it held up: I sent it to him to review. 🙂 Haven’t had time to watch the vid yet.

Sorry, brother. That sucks. I'm going on vacation tomorrow and will be out of pocket for the next 2 weeks. Keep me in mind. If you haven't found a solution by July 26th and see a way to isolate the broken part(s), ping me and I'll happily scan/print/cast a replacement for you at no cost if you'd like.

Surprisingly, the head laser is in perfect condition. I hope the rest of you have similar good fortune.

Box from HLJ is hella-small compared to Nin Nin's packaging: And there's zero packing material inside: It's been a good Monday. I'm not ready for it to be tarnished by a bent head laser, so I'm gonna let the YF-21 marinate...
-
Seconding packaging. Nin Nin could not have packaged mine any better. There was an overabundance of packing material on the front of the toy’s box relative to the back. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but it’s almost like they knew something.
-
Got mine from Nin Nin just now as well. Happy to report no issue with the head laser.
-
Somehow I ordered three from three different vendors, and all three charges posted this week. Ouch. Fingers crossed that the head laser gods smile upon me.
-
That's peculiar bc my chest cavity pieces are rock-solid on both of mine. Perhaps there's a way to modify yours to fit better?
-
FWIW, I plan on making replacements. Should only cost a couple bucks. I don’t usually advertise/sell, but this situation seems all kinds of “this could have been avoided” and it really irks me.
-
Does HLJ stalk these forums? Got my notice w/i 45 minutes after posting. God bless HLJ!
-
Happy for you and everyone else who got an in-stock notice. I ordered one from HLJ really late and haven’t gotten a notice yet, so I’m guessing HLJ fills orders by FIFO. #respect

Unfortunately, wings don’t ratchet or have a detent. At least not on any of mine.

"trailing edge flaps, which are primarily things that only fold down, not up, " Not exactly, but I understand your point. If the edge flaps fold down, then they have to fold back up to return to their "resting" position. So they do pivot down and up, and those panel lines need to be consistent across both the dorsal and ventral surfaces. But again, I understand your point. Well made. The green-colored area, however, doesn't necessarily have to be different across a wing's dorsal and ventral surfaces. It's just that they typically are "in the real world" due to, I'm figuring, efficiency of design and cost. In the Macross world, Imma be generous and give them a pass on this one. 🙂
-
I understand your question now. Yes, I ordered directly from ThreeZero.
-
I received mine 2 weeks ago. ??
-
What? I don’t follow. For context: I am in pharma and fly 2-10 times a week. The little, individual flaps along a wing’s trailing edge swivel up and down, so the dorsal panel lines have to match perfectly with the ventral panel lines. I’m missing something.
-
Wings can’t have similar panel lines on their underside?

I bought a bunch of 'em off Mandarake and Jungle for a great price not too long ago. I don't remember the exact prices, but they were >$100 off eBay prices at the time for some reason. I wouldn't recommend Jungle because they double-charged me for a huge purchase (e.g., something like $1500) and I had to eat it because my bank accepted their invoices (even though the bank couldn't read any of it because everything was in Japanese and, interestingly, all of the documentation looked like it had been photocopied a dozen times). It's life.
