    Let's check: DXv1 VF-25F - 12,000 yen, no add-on, no stand DXv1 VF-25G - 16,000 yen, super pack and stand DXv1 VF-25S bundle - 18,000 yen, armor pack and stand DXv1 super pack with stand - 4,000 yen DXv1 armor pack with stand - 6,500 yen DXv2 VF-25F or VF-25S - 14,000 yen, stand DXv2 super pack - 4,725 yen DXv2 armor pack - 8,190 yen It's not that bad but if you use US$ - see how the rate changed in 5 years. The price for the add-on increased quite a bit and we only have a few photos to look at before deciding on ordering them. We will see if they are worth the price. You can't really compare with this line since there are big difference in size of each set. They also have a serious supply shortage with 00 and Unicorn with eBay price as crazy as DX YF-29.

    I am interested to see how many are actually buying or trying to buy those valk that is some how getting so hard to get, and story on which shops that are not really reliable for pre-order. Also may be we can let the main toy topic to focus on the toy instead of who is to blame for not taking our money.

    I installed this addon today to scan all the shops, DDOS style: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-scanner/ Around 9pm EST today, anime-export pre-order list was updated with this: They were adding one item every few minutes, until around 10:10pm the DX VF-171EX is up (10% off, not the usual 20%) http://www.anime-export.com/product/8512 It is still open at 10:18pm...

    I will just look at the high-res photos for now. There are quite a bit of photoshopping going on: B mode pic 1: We should see more stuff on the tip of the wings instead of all white. G mode pic: You can see something between the legs, probably the display stand.

    Slightly updated too: You can't see the belly mounted gun on the 1st poster.

    Well he kind of hated it in the show, due to it's lower performance. This release leave Shin the only one hero valk incomplete at 1:60. Poor Shin. The price is confirmed at 14,000 + tax. From the BD scan linked above:

    http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10117655 vs http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10045767 ? The blue box one is a 2009/2010 reissue.

    The clean VF-171EX was shown in Macross Chronicle 37. I can only find very low-res scans: But here is a high-res art of the armored version: One thing I am not sure about is the landing gears on the legs. Green circled the seam lines and it is the same location for landing gears on VF-17, but how does it work with armors on? The red circled part may be an alternative but it is already painted as standard micro missile ports. Screen shot from episode 24 shows landing gears with armors on, but it looks like they just draw them to the end of the unit without giving much thought.

    Look closely at the CG - it is suppose to keep the wing mounted weapon even in B mode. But the chance of getting wing mounted weapons is about 0. We can see here the bottom of wings are very clean:

    But Bandai will just use light blue plastic like the DX Macross Quarter, not metallic blue like the Wave SDF-1.
  12. CF18
    Crazy news. But the VF-171EX always come with the extra weapons on screen. Standard for Bandai - release base unit at lower price, then the add-on for 50% more. I expect the web limited super pack to be announced around June to boost sale. No need. That gun is external in fighter mode.
  13. CF18
    It is specified as the VF-1S TV version: http://www2.moeyo.com/img/12/02/14/8/803.html
  14. CF18
    Yes and with web based pre-order (which I expect HLJ will provide for us too) Yamato knows exactly how much they need to make.
  15. CF18
    Oh a light grey gun! Will it come with body colored missiles like the low-vis?
  16. CF18
    More colourful than the fan made art at m3: http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/variant-vf-1a-darkbird.htm Great news. At the very least it tells me switching factory does not stop them from making more 1:60v2 VF-1, so bring us some VE-1 reissue please?
  17. CF18
    http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/019347/ They expect to release it in 2012 December, no price yet.

    Mandarake charge actual shipping like other stores, so combined shipping will be cheaper. Open means used. They don't sell obviously broken stuff but they can't check everything.

    You mean like this one? That one is actually some what reasonable since it include the super and armor pack. Anyway here are the base price: DXv2 VF-25S - 14000 yen ~= US$180 Armor for Dxv2 VF-25S - 8190 yen ~= US$110 The DXv2 VF-25S is all sold out in regular stores and is going for > $300 on eBay. But DXv2 VF-25F also went through a period of limited supply but was restocked a few weeks after initial release, so the DXv2 VF-25S may see a restock too. The armor part is a Japanese web limited item so you should add $10 to $20 for proxy service fee. The armor part is still at pre-order status from Bandai, i.e. someone living in Japan can still order more. These proxy shops in Japan may pre-order the armor pack and ship to us for a reasonable mark-up: * http://www.tokyo-hunter.com/ * http://dv8cag.com/ ** http://hobbyclick.jp/store/ http://www.anime-export.com/ http://biginjap.com/ http://www.nippon-yasan.com/ http://yokattaweb.jp/index.html * Are the shops I have ordered from before and got my items without problem. ** I only used their eBay store before, no problem. I have no experience with the other stores. There is also a group buy in the trade forum here if you live in USA. New? Just get the v2, unless you to want to buy my v1!

    ++ How long did it take for HLJ and AmiAmi to get ride of all those VF-22 at 40+% off?
  21. CF18
    Leg only gerwalk mode.
  22. CF18
    Oh in that case I got 3 mails - 2 from info@anime-export.com : "AE Anime-Export : Thank you for your Order N. xxxxx" and "AE Anime-Export : Payment for order n. xxxxx received thank you!" and 1 standard paypal receipt from paypal. You need to contact them now about your issue.

    Insane, just like some eBay price. There are a few at mandrake for around 35000 yen if you really need one now.
  25. CF18
    Did you receive 2 emails from them, one for the order and one for the payment?
