I just acquired my first DX 1/48 VF-1S from Tamashi Nations on the US Amazon site. I pre-ordered the revival Fokker VF-1S on Amazon Japanwhich did not include shipping or tarrifs and cancelled it once I found it on the Tamashi US store. Tarrifs were included, although it mentioned nothing about them. I just took a chance. Brand new, shipped to my door from Japan in 7 days. I just didn't want to wait for the revival and chance missing it or paying ungodly tarrifs.
This will be my fourth valk, my first one being a Yamato 1/60 DYRL I bought back in 2008 or so. I bought the ThreeZero VF-1J a couple months ago and THAT sent me off trying to get a DX. Absolutely needed a DX before the world descends farther into hell. I've been a TF Masterpiece collector for a long time and technically my second valkyrie was MP-57 Skyfire.
I need a fast or strike pack now, but those aren't available anywhere except Japan from what i can find. There are at least ebay listings for vf-1's in north america. I have a used VF-1J coming as well. The addiction has taken hold.
