$290 is a great price considering that the last three Max VF-1J's on ebay were close to $350. The one VF-1J Max before this was $338 without the box yet in the US.
My biggest concern was not the cost but that I was dealing outside the US, Canada, Japan and MacrossWorld.
If the Max and Millia VF-1J are reissued, I believe they will be like the Hikaru VF-1J re-issues and not have the armor. I was lucky enough to get two out of three but had to take a hit on the Max. I have a Toynami Battlecry Max that will be replaced by the Yamato.
I was wrong about Kakizaki DYRL VF-1A, thankfully so, but who knows.
