  1. I recently got my VF-1D from Luna Park and they packed it in a hard box as per my request. I did order two parcels from their shop so that could be why they decided to mail them in a box. 

    For those of you still waiting on your VF-1Ds from Luna Park, I recommend that you email them and ask them about the status of your shipment. Also request that they properly pack them in a hard box and bubble wrap so that your package is not damaged.

    Well, could always post in the Wanted section, people here might be willing to let one go.

    Heck, I've got 4, and only one's come out of the plastic trays. Doubt I'm alone in having spares either.

    Thank you for your response! 

    Just finished the Wanted post for it. Here's hoping I get lucky!

    @Dinosaur -  There's a 5% additional (processing) fee on Jungle's items as they have to do the proper paperwork before shipping it outside Japan for overseas customers and DHL shipping for now given this present situation (Japan and Taiwan is now under a tighter lockdown as the infection numbers are getting higher if you haven noticed). 

    Shipping by DHL us not going to be cheap as I got a Yammie 1/60 DYRL Max for  ¥21.5k and the DHL fees was ¥4.5k to get it shipped to British Columbia (total almost ¥29k complete). 

    The bigger the box or heavier it gets, it's going to add on price of the item your getting. 

    I understand!

    I'll definitely keep searching and check on the prices. Thank you again for your help! 

    This community is really kind and helpful! :D 

  3. Hello! New member and collector here! 

    I am currently looking for a DX Chogokin YF-19 Macross Plus FULL SET PACK figure (NOT the DX VF-19 Advanced).

    I would prefer one that is new, but I will also accept a used/preowned one! However, if it is used/preowned, I would like to see the condition of the item before any transaction. Also please let me know if you are able to ship to California, USA. 

    Thank you in advance for any responses!

    You're going to pay around ¥45k to ¥50k for a DX YF-19 Full Set @Dinosaur and possibly ¥35k to ¥44k for a DX YF-19 Advanced. 

    Differences are noted on @jenius' blog at Scorched Earth Toys and check out his YouTube Channel under the same name. 

    Good thing that you passed over the listing I posted on the previous page at ¥50k... You're going pay the mega late tax on this bird if you get it. 

    Big fan of @jenius's videos and, yeah, his review really made me lean more towards getting the DX YF-19 Full Set.

    The prices you gave me for the YF-19 Full Set sound about right for it. I want to get it new, but it seems like the used/preowned ones are going for that amount... 

    I might just have to miss out on this one or wait for a re-release (which is starting to seem unlikely, but they did it for the Roy Focker VF-1S so who knows?). Still gonna keep searching!

    Welcome! In addition to Mandrake, I suggest Jungle - their prices are slightly higher, but they are a reliable online store.

    Also I would recommend you check Mandrake and Jungle daily. Sometimes it's timing and luck to find something they've listed you want, in stock, and at a decent price. Good hunting!

     

    Thank you for the welcome and the recommendations!

    Do you know how much shipping normally goes for with these kinds of sites? 

  5. Does anyone recommend preordering these DX figures from third party sellers? I really want to get the VF-1D, but I'm a little hesitant about preordering. I'm wondering if these figures go up in price exponentially when they're officially released or does anyone recommend waiting it out? 

    I bought three Macross figures (one DX and 2 Hi-Metal Rs) through ebay, but I am not sure if anyone knows a better place to purchase these figures. 

  6. Hello! New here! Hope everyone is having a great day. 

    Anyone know good places to purchase the DX YF-19 and that ship to the US?  

    I tried looking on amazon.co.jp and mandarake, but those are either sold out or do the sellers do not ship to the US.

    There's quite a few of them on ebay, but the prices seem a little too expensive especially for the used/preowned ones. Do you recommend buying from ebay/second hand sellers when it comes to these figures?
