I never bought the Isamu YF-19 due to the fighter mode. Honestly, when I see it, all I see is the gullet. Its hideous and one of Yamato's poorest efforts of their modern 1/60 line. An updated version using the mac7 VF-19s as a base would be awesome

I got my 2x sets from Amiami for this latest reissue and my side covers are in DYRL off-white. Darn, the dark blue versions would've been cool.

Thanks for the update, Nano. PM'd !

I don't buy Yamato's Macross valks because they are cheap, I buy them because they're amazing. I don't want them to make some lower-cost alternative. There's enough of that going on. I can go anywhere and buy some piece of crap toy, but it's a rare company that makes something worth displaying on my wall.

QFT !!!

No idea if Yamato will do a re-issue for the VF-1J 30th. But we still have plenty of the standard VF-1J and super parts 30th:

Hey HKC - Are the VF-1J TV versions that are in stock from the initial release batch with tinted canopies (2008 release with bad shoulders) or the more recent 2010 release with clear canopies (new shoulders)?

That is horrible. They should be experienced enough with these Bandai Macross valks to know the demand for this. Even the Alto VF-171 EX had a limit of 2 or 3. WTF HLJ.

They should make this right and go cancel any orders >2 or reduce them and put the reallocated stock back up for sale. We should all coordinate and bombard HLJ by email regarding this issue.

Edit - moved my comment to other thread

Any place that might have these? Yamato picked the worst time of the year to release this and there was just no way in hell I'd be able to afford or justify buying myself a toy around the holidays. I see one on eBay, but paying $500 is just stupid.

HK Collectibles has it for ~$403. That's the only place I see it in stock at. Their shipping prices are fair which is still less than $500. I think Yamato will release more of the VF-4G. They have to make money on the new mold somehow.

The longer NY's pre order stays up, the more I want to order a 3rd. I need to save up for the Luca pre order though...dammit - Decisions!

oh....What i see is a price with pounds symbol when I selected price with Euro..That is not Euro symbol...nvm..someone told me..maybe something wrong with my browser.

I can select Euro just fine in my browser. Did you try using another browser (like Google Chrome)?

Wow NY sure has a lot of stock. My spidey sense is warning me that its gonna be a party when HLJ joins in on the fun

OK looks like this round of pre-orders are done at NY for the 171 CF

I hope a lot of MW'ers got their orders in

I'm hesitant to order from a retailer I'm not familiar with, but you guys seem to trust them, so ok. Ordered. Nice.

NY is pretty reliable so far. They have one of the fastest turnarounds with the Macross F valks from what I experienced. As long as you pay on time they ship it right after release

With registered airmail to California its $213 for me. How easy is it to cancel orders at CD Japan? I might just order my 2nd one at NY

Edit: Nevermind - my total was just about $200 at CDjapan so I'll keep that one

Alright - go team MW

Alright I got one in. I'm good with 2 now. Gotta wait for the armor now. Will there be a separate color armor for these CF or does the Alto version match these? The Alto versions look pretty dark and maybe generic

NY Pre order back up but at $228

Go!

NY Pre order back up

http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/4449-macross-f-dx-chogokin-vf-171ex-nightmare-plus-ex-regular.html

Go!

Awesome pics guys! The packs definitely bulk up the VF-171EX quite a bit.

Are these the same colored armor packs that will match with the VF-171 CF's coming out?

There site is back up and I JUST placed my order.

Awesome, but I don't think that's the link to the "pre-order" which is at a lower (retail) price. That is the original stock that they have ready to ship and its marked up to $256 USD.

Pre-order link should be this one at ~$193 USD:

Wow the demand for the VF-171 is outpacing the YF-29 Anniversary reissue.

This reminds me of the early panic of the VF-171 EX Alto version. Hopefully there will be more supply of the VF-171 CF as I want more than 1

Preorders are up at anime-export.

Thank you!

VF-171 is sold out but YF-29 is still up

Edit: Sold out now

Apparently you got the last one, it's dead again.

I guess I did. The stock counter was at 1 at the time. I thought it was just BS, but I went all the way through the checkout. Had to pay up front with Paypal, which sucks, but I was in a rush to finish and post that I just went with it.
