Thanks for the help. Will post in the FAQ section in future for this sort of question.
-
Seen a link to anymoon.com that list out which version is safe. Been trying to look for it again for a few days on and off. Just spend an hour looking at Julius' blog site and here hunting for that chart. The search function is not helping much. It is getting frustrating. Can anyone help me out, please? Thanks.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

HMR Max arrived today. This is my full collection so far with more on the way. It all started with the VF1J DX.... Milia Toynami could not join the photo shoot as she brakes her neck and in on the repair bench.

My order number is just a few digits below yours. I hope it will not be canceled.
-
Just a heads up for those that still looking to get the 31E (but missed the informative post earlier in the thread), NY still have them. If you are ok with NY and the 24,000 yen price.
-
I have an extra confirmed order with NY that I don't think I will keep. One of this is enough for me. Does anyone want to take over the extra?
-
all sold out!

I have seen multiple Chinese sites showing pre-order offer for 1/60 Super Max and Miria. 640 CNY each. https://www.sgshop.com.my/taobao/tao-bao/searchdetails?tbid=546560083833

Just saw a listing of the Super/Strike pack that included the clear armour cover. A nice extra.
-
Thanks. Will wait and see what I will do. If you paint yours, might need to coat it with suitable semi flat varnish to help reduce paint wear. Hope to see some photos of your before I find my set.
-
I saw the message here about 3 hours before the offer end but hesitated. Since I am still unsure about buying any of these KO yet. Saw multiple issues from reviews. So I missed the discount. Regretted this now since the super/strike part should have minimum QA issue that matters.
-
How was the quality? I wish this option is still available. Anyhow, there are not too complicated, if I am good at 3D design sw, I might be able to create one (having the time to do it is the blocker).
-
I have just ping them about this, didn't mention any price yet, just asking if it is possible. $40 shipped is not too bad, will see what they say. Maybe it is not possible at all. -kk

I am looking for a set of options parts too. Wonder if they will sell a set of those as extra. anyone have contact in China that can help set this up?
-
@no3Ljm Thanks for the heads up. I will be careful. I was about the buy some casting supply after viewing a few YT tutorial, then someone resurrected a very old thread and I found this : I think I will try this out and see if it will work out well. Still need the side cover, I think I might be able to wing it a bit with Fusion 360.

Thank you for your reply. I brought this used. The seller is really responsible and makes things right. So I am not complaining. Seems like buying them is not easy. Will try the Wanted section and see if someone is willing to sell for a reasonable price (what is a good price for this?). I am quite keen to try out doing resin cast but have no idea where to start. If there is some material and setup that is not too costly to get into, I might want to try it out. I also wonder if I do manage to get a mold done and can get half decent result, will there be a need for people that have the Yamato v2 for this? How much will people willing to pay for a set of these resin recast parts?
-
I have a VF-1J Miria super that have missing optional parts (see attached photo of the parts from my the Max box). The whole bag is missing from the Miria box. Any idea how I can replace these parts? Does Arcadia offer any way to buy these?
-
What would be a good estimate for the SAL shipping cost for this?
-
@Kuma Style very nice photos, make me appreciate this toy more. More importantly, it is clear from the result that you seem to really enjoy playing with this and taking photos of it, which is the most important thing.

Been a Macross fan over the years and had been building model kits. But have not been into toys. The Yamato lines seem attractive but the price kept me away all these time. Then I found out about the DX-1J. Was really late so no luck with any PO. At the end when the review starts to coming in, I really wanted one. It looks so nice. So end up getting one from Mandrake. It arrived last week and it is fantastic. Since then I have these on the way: HMR max, 35th-Aniversary VF-1J I have also just finishing a deal for Max+Millia super 1/60 Arcadia with a nice member here. The flood gate seems to have been opened. Money and space will be a big concern. I am now officially a Macross toy collector. Getting into toys is mainly due to me getting zero time to build model kit for the past decade. I need to get my Macross fix somewhere and the toy is one of the obvious routes. Can't wait for all of my orders to arrive. -
I agree that the Hasegawa 1/72 are very good kits and value for money. Does not harm to start with the Wave 1/100 kit (I have only built the VF-1A, and had a lot of fun producing result that I like), even though if you go slow, jumping directly to the Hasegawa kit is not impossible. You can always get support and advise from the good people here (or find how to instruction and video from the web). One extra benefit if you choose to start with the Wave kit, you will be impressed with the jump in quality and potential result offered by the Hasegawa kits. That will provide additional motivation to work through the challenges they offer. Whatever you choose, having fun is the key. Don't worry about building a perfect project from the get-go.

Second that. Anytime this year will be great, but earlier is better. Been waiting for that since forever. It is one of the first/second Arii models that I build when I was a kid.
-
@jenius Nice collection. I always enjoy your review video on YT. BTW, which one of these is your favorite?
-
Haha, good trick. Safer and avoid a lot of hard work. That is what I am thinking too. I build models and that seam line just scream at me to sand it down and buff up again. Have to resist like seti88, but I know eventually I will break down and do it.
