I desperately want a VF-1 to go with my SD SDF1 as the included VFs aren't great.
-
Been sitting on the fence about a VF-1D as this was showcased last year. Time to try for my first Macross PO.
-
Looking good. The moment I saw it, I thought it had to be Singapore. Lol.
-
Very cool thanks! Enough diversion from the VF-19!
-
Do you have a link about what improvements Arcadia made to the VF-1J M & M?
-
So you're the lucky bugger who got that! I saw it a few hours too late. Haha. Did you get the VF-4A and VE-1 too? Been trying to get those as well. They are part of Mandarake's Grand Chaos outlet 3rd anniversary sale, hence the pre-order.
-
Doh, someone got the last VF-31S while I was adding it to my cart.

I've seen your stuff on Reddit. Props to you! They're great! The Variable Glaug in particular is brilliant.
-
No worries! Could tell you weren't being mean about it. I just couldn't help but burst out laughing.
-
They resurrected an 18-year-old thread only for you to put them down savagely, albeit nicely.
-
I had seen that previously, but moehime has much better pricing for me. Their PF is only a little more than I paid for my original non-PF version. 😰
-
Thanks! Will probably take the plunge in the next few weeks!
-
How was your experience with their PF version? Came across some negative reviews for them but the PF is very attractive despite me having the regular version.
-
Max and Milia variants were released a while back, but the others have never shown up. Seems like the only ones manufactured these days are Roy or Hikaru before this Jetfire one came about. M & M are not currently in production, but there's a possibility of future runs based on a Chinese vendor.

Could it be this comment?

Just trying to give context for those interested in grey market VF-1s and not trying to add insult to injury for anyone. The typical price I've seen on Taobao, the biggest Chinese online marketplace, is usually between 450-480 RMB before overseas shipping which works out to 60+ USD. For a full set with SSP, it's a little below 100 USD. It used to be slightly lower but it's gone up in the past year or so. If you come across prices substantially lower than that, be mindful of the above! If anyone is interested at those prices + shipping to wherever you are, I can check what the total costs will be if you're willing to share an approximate address. Not trying to profit here, just providing some information if anyone is interested in a KO. PS: I can promise I'm not a Chinese scammer, probably can't prove it though. Here's a Taobao listing to help verify some of my claims - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.16.3026258dNEwCwK&id=717365695385&ns=1&abbucket=4#detail and the full store - https://macross.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.54.3026258dNEwCwK&appUid=RAzN8HWYrPdchqUYeTg3c3cacYpt6FgekrajKu2vKaSS8Yq8TGD if you like to look around. I'm just offering to help navigate is all.

Have you considered one of the Macross FB groups? I've seen some posts from users here on those platforms.
-
Does anyone choose to display their Battroid mode VFs on a stand rather than on their own two feet to avoid wear on the joints? Does it make a difference?
-
Yea, I figured you might need a hand as it's very localised. Dropped you a line in the group. Ah, definitely Cory then.
-
Ah, the one I went to was a different Yaohan. Hmm, should have been old enough to remember it though, it's odd that I don't recall seeing it at all. If you need someone to pick it up and send it to you in Melb, let me know. I think I've met a guy who knows you. He said there was a guy in Aus who was crazy about every version of Jetfire.
-
Hmm, that would make sense. Japanese department store that operated from the 70s-90s in Singapore. I used to go in almost weekly but I don't recall seeing them. Do you know when they bought it?
-
I'm located in Singapore and I can say that growing up (80s-90s), I never saw a Macross toy in typical toy stores.
-
Oof, I would have bought it panel lined if I hadn't just bought one 20 days ago. How much were you looking at letting it go for?
-
Is there a way to get spare parts for the old yamato 1/60 build your own valk, kit?
dtwn replied to Sam's topic in Model kits
It's a giant marketplace akin to Amazon Marketplace. There are official stores and resellers. You're looking for 女武神工厂 (Valkryie Factory). Here's what sort of prices to expect. I'm not sure about shipping costs.
