Wow. You were downvoted for getting your 10th ?!  I equalize the downvote with upvote  Hehehe. 

Anyways, congrats on your VT-1 Squadron! 

I think I know why that is, lol.  But people LOVE to be negative online I mean, it is free after all.  I prefer to go with the positivity as well.  Negativity makes people live less long.  haters gonna hate.  Now I'm just wondering when they will come out with the VF-1D

I just ordered my 10th VT-1 Super Ostrich yesterday.  Bring em on, Bandai

Just buy what you like.  One man's "junk" is another man's "treasure" (or still junk :D)  But honestly, I don't think any of the HMR are bad, even Xabungle stuff seems pretty nice.

It's eBay flash sale today, for USA and Canada, so grabbed a VF1j for 70 USD shipped. Not the best deal, but I guess not the worst one either

Now I got valks for both my armour sets for fexthobby.

That sale was great. I sold $410 worth of Macross valkyries that day.

I wonder if they would dare do macross zero.  I'd be down for some of those valks.  Just waiting for them to release more VF-1s.

The views expressed were taken by some as very insensitive and highly offensive.  So much so that moderators stepped in and portions of posts were removed.  Please keep this in mind for future posts.

You know, DewPoint, when something's dropped it's dropped.  Move on.  Back on topic here please.  It's not really getting us anywhere.

To the others - apologies for that last off topic post.

I'll go with VF-1A Cannon Fodder on this.  Thanks.

K so I got downvoted for complying with you guys.  wacko.

Stay on topic. None of us needs to know your origin story.

I did not originate from WWII lol.  Plus appears that 11 people can't handle the truth.

Btw, VF-1A Cannon Fodder is the one that brought up the war, not me I just added to conversation.  It appears that many people here are trying instigate this as a racism show which it isn't.  But I would have to say that Japan did fight with honor.  After all, they were persistant and would not let up.

Anyways, maybe tell people not to start a conversation in the first place if you don't want that to occur.

To be fair to Mykombini, their website says that that is their policy. They do refunds but you're responsible for shipping costs. 

They must have changed that recently then because when I started haggling with them over this, they had it stated that they pay for the return and I have a log of them stating that to me too for the order.  They deleted my account but didn't realize that I kept *.PDF of all communication.  But oh well it's over with.  My new VF-1A already shipped and will be here in about 2 months.  I can wait.  I don't really care.

Also they cancelled 3 pre-orders on VT-1's that I hadn't paid for yet.  I was waiting for them to straighten this out.  And also was ready for them to f*** it up which they did so gladly I did not pay them a dime for those.

Lol lets just stay on topic of the reseller mykombini. As i stated earlier, mykombini was not communicating about this issue and when he did, he simply asked me to return the item and would not cover the shipping fee. 

That's when i took matters into my own hands and went straight to Bandai. Fought them good and won. Just today, went to local post office to pick up the armor parts from Bandai(bandai sent to teso.com and teso shipped out). They supplied me with both left and right calf armors. 

Finally i just assembled the super pack on vf1a. Looks good! 

 

It's alright man.  Paypal got it.  They were suppose to cover the shipping cost the first time according to their rules and they told me, I had to dispute the shipping charge with paypal the first time around because they wouldn't honor it.  And I got it.  They are probably just tired of making mistakes and want to put the blame on the buyer.  I'll just buy dozens of valkyries elsewhere.  I was only upset with MyKombini for about 5 minutes and then went on to rant.

@amptor i don't know your reasons and i don't care. I'm Russian and i have no hatred to you or anyone else (maybe just to my government), but politics and history in your post is big offtopic and i don't know wtf it's doing here.

Good because I don't care either.

Not adding to the fire but you mean to say MK sent you a copy that had its canopy taped without any pilot and double armor parts! Was the package in also a sh*tty condition too? Was it pre owned?

Package was fine.  I still have a photo of the double tapes, actually Peeled off the tape and it is still stuck to my desk right next to me.

And btw, I did notice that both Akira and SDF Macross had references to the Nagasaki and Hiroshima nuclear detonations in them.  So I guess it is a culture thing.

Sorry to hear that you're still having issues with MyKombini. Hopefully your new will come in with no problems. 

Thanks I don't expect to have any problem with the new one.  MyKombini should not have sent me a double taped item back.  I bought a "new" one off them after all.  They just think I am some "dumb yankee" that's all.  If we were so dumb, we wouldn't have won that war.  lol.  Basically that kept the Russians out of there which is all they were worried about.  Not us.

Be aware of and do not buy from MyKombini (ebay, their web site).  They ran me in circles on one valk.  I purchased 7 valkyries from them before but this one nearly got me stung.  My VF-1A Super Hikaru.  They literally deleted my account from their web site and said "do not ever buy from us again".  I recommend everyone to stay away from this web site because they have poor business practices.  They sent me a VF-1A with 2 left leg calf armors and could not figure out that there was anything wrong with it after I shipped it back.  They had me order another new valk and sent me a USED one and then demanded that I ship it back for a full refund and to never buy from their store again.

Do not use MyKombini.  There are a LOT of other sites that sell these things and better shipping prices (SAL untracked, etc) that they don't offer.

LOL Harmony Gold that's a good one.  But unfortunately MyKombini is being a-holes about this and I'm done with it.  Paypal reimbursed me for shipping prior to shipping it out just now and they are going to receive the item back.  And I'm going to buy my dozens upon dozens of valkyries elsewhere.

I dropped those d***s at MyKombini a nice little unformal letter in the box and sealed it up. This b**** is going out tomorrow morning.

Yep paypal dropped a nice chunk of $ change into my account for me and I printed the label out.  I definitely have found better deals elsewhere.  I don't need MyKombini.

BTW LAST but not least!!! thanks for all your moral support.  AND THANK YOU for posting news on which toys are being released and a special thanks to the Original Poster (aka OP!)

Thanks guys.

edit: re-ordered from a better site for the same price.  hopefully all goes well.  thanks again.

MyKombini just sent me this email:

I think that www.macrossworld.com should add this site www.mykombini.com to their black list of bad traders.

nevermind, shipped mine back to the vendor.  thanks.

Hi Mykombini shipped me one that has two LH left hand right leg armor pieces.  Does anyone have a right RH side one for trade?  This is annoying the heck out of me.  I am also missing the pilot now.

For now it's being held on with some weak Scotch / 3M double sided tape but no pilot :\

edit: ok I guess these guys think I am STUPID so I'm disputing the transaction with paypal and if that won't work, with the credit card. Escalated the claim, apparently paypal won't do anything if you don't lol.  I'll re-order elsewhere.

My replacement VF-1A Super Hikaru Ichijo should be here any day now.  I got my entire order fixed with MyKombini.  They just sometimes take a few days that's all.

I also have six VT-1 on pre-order.  I am considering ordering 4 more.  But there's more valks to come and I'm not sure how many of those I will get.  Sucks that I missed out on the strike valkyries when they got released but oh well.

MyKombini will reply.  It just takes a long time now and I don't know why.  Maybe 3-5 business days for a response.  Try to trade your leg armors on here instead of going through the hassle though.

Guys if my new valk has duplicate leg armors again I'll come back to here and trade Hopefully it doesn't.

I keep coming back to see if anyone posts new photos of the upcoming valks Haven't seen any yet, but I saved the one photo that was posted previously.  It's really cool that they are putting out all this stuff.  I wonder if they are going to do all of the movie valks and all of the tv valks.  It looks like they will.

Great news amptor. Just a little curious, will they be checking the leg armor before they send it out? Or is it from a new run of VF 1A’s?

I have no idea, I'm just taking a gamble on it.

Cool MyKombini is fixing my order.  I am going to be receiving my new VF-1A in a couple weeks.

I'll be in for a trade if by some bizarre reason MyKombini decides to send me back the one I sent them heh.  Wish more people came about when I had the issue.  I'm looking at another site to re-purchase from.  But if anyone knows a lower price than 76 bucks plus shipping, please let me know

Also guys I have a spare pilot not sure if anyone needs one for any reason.  It accidentally fell out of the box when I packaged mine to ship back.  I wish more parts "accidentally" fell out of the box now after what I am going through.

MyKombini is flat out ignoring me now.  Anyone know where the cheapest place is right now to get another VF-1A super?
