Did anyone else hate this toy as much as I did?  It didn't transform well if at all, looked awful in every form/pose, and was overall just a frustrating PITA to play with.

I'll PM you @MKT.  I have the 1/60 version which is much better and matches my DX YF-19, so I've been meaning to get rid of this 1/72.  I may not like it, but it's still worthy of love and should go to a good home.

How can you hate any Macross toy?

Macross 7 valks are the shiznet!

If Y14000 conversion today is around US$95-98, how much the shipping from HLJ? BBTS is US$169.99 without shipping and tax.

It was about 155 when I had it in may cart at HLJ.. I was under the impression it was $160 when I pre-ordered on BBTS, Not $169 ( checked last night).  Still not gonna sweat over ~15 bucks and I'll support a US based importer so I can continue to get more Macross in the future.

I think everyone here is drooling for the eventual DX YF-21 if and when Bandai will get off their ***** and get it made @scand. 
 

Good score in getting one of the iconic valks from M+ (even though it’s a version one interpretation). 

Yeah... I gave up on waiting. At this point I'll take an HMR parts-former.

It’s been 15 years almost since I sold my first one. Now I have a 21 back in the collection. This one still looks brand new… 50 bucks on yahoo auctions JP. Articulation leaves a little  bit to be desired but it will work…

Willing to pay upwards of $200 dollars shipped. Can anyone offer up? Should clarify... I'm looking for V2.

I've been collecting various Macross Toys over the better half of the last 25 years. For whatever reason I skipped these. Totally solid and good enough to get my kyun kyuns on!

BBTS is processing today! Woot!

Are these shipping yet?

Awesome, I don't even know what it's from but I'll take it. It looks like something from M7. What are it's origins?

Another positive experience with @Corrinald. Superb condition, great price, and super fast shipping.

It's a little chunky in the proportions department. But other wise it's a cool toy.

I got an item out of Japan via Mandarake using EMS just fine? Didn't take very long at all.

Yep, already hit NY 2 days after shipping notice. Things are moving along again.

Can be a number if things @scand. 

(1) Vapourware [Your not the only person that said it].

(2) Co-vid delayed everthing and the price of our hobbies has skyrocketed off the roof and it's been delayed to infinity. 

I have no problem waiting for infinity to get here. I can just dream about it untill then.

Is there still a backlog on EMS still? it appears Buyee pulled the DHL option and is now back to EMS.

Any news at all on this front, Vaporware? Pleasant surprise sometime next year?

Thank goodness a release I can skip. My Arcadia YF-19 is all good still. They need to reissue the VF-19 Kai Full Set because I need me one o those !

 Waiting on that too!

I'm sensing a shelf-warmer. Hopefully the wings will stay in place on this one.

Before or after shipping?  What was the shipping cost from Buyee?

I have seen some "deals" on YJS...such as this one....https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/shopping/puremiamuserekuto_4573102605023/category/?searchHis=1

But I have no idea what the shipping cost is domestically and for international....so hard to say if it really is a good deal or not... 

The Valk was $249 including Buyee service fees, Shipping was like 58 via DHL.. Roughly 310 is was  I paid. Amazon's Global shipping would have been much less. On a side note, I got the valk in not even 3 days using DHL.

Amazon Global Shipping eligible for 3000 JPY.....25,500 JPY for DX VF-1S....go!

Just bought one from Buyee.jp... that would have saved me 40 bucks.

for 10 bucks more...try eBay

 

Yeah, but the ones I saw were coming from Japan with "standard" shipping... whatever that may mean. Wanted to try here first.

Willing to spend up to ~$300 shipped. LMK Thanks!

is there an HLJ/Amazon.co.jp page yet?
