  1. Dusting one by one takes time so I use this. Hahaha! Kidding aside I use microfiber duster or those compressed air cans.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Sorry for the sad news. It didn’t show up on my bowling ball. Sorry for the ‘bowl’ typo above. Hahaha! As much as I would like a DX YF-21, it’s not feasable for 2019. 2021, perhaps? ‘21 is a good year for a YF-21. Don’t you think? If that one will come true, remember it’s me who predicted it. My bad. I did forgot that one. Hahaha!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Hahaha! Been here long enough ‘lurking’ to make a good guesstimate. After I looked in my all-seeing eye bowling bowl the Macross POs for this year are: - DX VF-1 Super/Strike Packs - DX VF-1 Manipulators - DX VF-31S Armored Pack - HMR Tomahawk - DX VF-1S Roy Focker - DX VF-1S Hikaru Ichijo

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Great! Thanks JVM! We’re really getting used to now on this guessing PO schedule game.
  5. Sorry to hear about that. Did you purchase this just recently? Did you purchase this directly from Arcadia? If not, where did you order this? Here's some pointers based on what I've read here over the years and based on online store experience. - If you purchase this from Arcadia directly, then you should try and reach out their Customer Service. - If you purchase this from any of the Japanese Online Store, you should also try and reach out to their Customer Service. However, do note that there's a number of days after you received the item to report any damage or missing items. And this is why I always open my package to double and triple check if everything is complete. - Do note that since we're outside Japan, there's no guarantee that we will be helped 100%. - If you're unsuccessful from getting help from any of the Customer Service, you can try posting it on the Wanted Section and ask members if they're willing to sell theirs. - You can also do some crash course on making your own resin cast since you still have an extra set to copy and mold it. Hope that helps. Good luck.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    So based on the photos, I noticed that the Radome when folded is not flushed to the legs. It protrudes a little bit unless you use the landing gears.
  7. @Saburo Looks nice.
  8. By the way, BBTS has some FEXT System Display Module for sale: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Company=928
  9. Nice! By the way Chavakaiser, did you complete the S.I.C. Dunbine figure line? The only gripe I have for that line is that Bandai didn't produce a Billbine figure.
  10. That too.
  11. Great review, JVM!
  12. It's true that they overcharge. But using their shipping calculator gives the customers a good idea on how much they need to pay depending on which shipping method they choose. Seeing that the EMS in that NY calculator shows Y4500, it's safe to assume that the weight of the said item is 2kg. And I verified the same info via JapanPost's website: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems2_en.html Using JapanPost website for a 2kg package bound to North America: EMS: Y4500 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems2_en.html Economy SAL: Y3850 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/parcel3_en.html# Airmail: Y5050 - https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/parcel3_en.html# I cross-checked the same weight en-route to America with AmiAmi: https://www.amiami.com/eng/payment-shipping/ EMS: Y4500 SAL Parcel: Y3850 I also checked CDJapan's Shipping Calculator to America with the recent Arcadia's 1/60 VF-1J Max since they might share the same weight and dimension box for the VE-1 just to have a sense on how the shipping costs differs from other online stores: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-249730?s_ssid=e47f765c4a8ca1b507 EMS: Y5200 Economoy SAL: Y6500 Dewpoint posted the CDJapan's link for the VE-1 on the next page so here's the price using its Shipping Calculator: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-320836 EMS: Y4100 Economy SAL: Y5010 Seeing the cost above for the Economy SAL, Nippon-Yasan 'sand AmiAmi's price is more in-line with JapanPost's SAL pricing. Since the shipping cost varies from one store to another, there's no guarantee what's the exact amount until this shops email us for additional fees and whatnot. But they do help the customers to decide which shipping method to use. And at the end of the day even if Nippon-Yasan do overcharge, if anyone decided on preordering it from them, then we are basically bound to pay whatever the shipping cost they showed us on that calculator. Hope that helps. Edit: I want to add that based on member's post here regarding Amazon's shipping cost, I think ordering from them is the practical choice at Y1200 using DHL. However, do note that we don't have any feedback yet on how's their customer service for broken parts, missing parts, or with dented box. So take it with a grain of salt. 2nd Edit: Since Dewpoint posted the CDJapan link for the VE-1, I checked its Shipping Calculator to US and added the cost above.
  13. GFFMC RX78-02 Gundam [40th Anniversary Ver] I'll probably jump on this release since there's no assurance if the RX-78 will get released in Metal Build format.
  14. You forgot to mention what country so I just used USA as a basis using Nippon-Yasan's Shipping Calculator:
  15. Nice. Atleast you can check every now and then your Order Status for updates. Glad that you score one before it became 'Current Unavailable'. If you don't mind my asking how much was it posted in the US Amazon site since it's not showing the price now?
  16. Not sure if Bandai did a second preorder for April release since the first PO is for the February one. As for the question if it gets canceled, did Amazon emailed you for your order confirmation? And when it went to current unavailable, did they sent you order canceled email afterwards? If not, then I think your order is good. Just make sure that you did indeed get an Amazon Order Confirmation Email for your order. Also, it would be nice to see that Amazon link you ordered it from so we can check what it says there since most members here now posts both Japan and US Amazon links. Thanks and welcome to MacrossWorld.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Funny, that I was trying to find last night the top right VF-31E pose where it was shown in Episode 6 wearing its Super Pack. And ask everyone if they will going to pose it like that until the actual VF-31E Super Pack gets available. And then I did something else so I forgot that I was looking for it.
  18. I want the actual Macross The First's VF-1J instead, Seti. It's Hikaru's so I wouldn't mind the 1/48 size. Make that happen, Bandai. Image courtesy of Macross Mecha Manual.
  19. Updated PO Links: Arcadia: http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=274 Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.jp/超時空要塞マクロス-愛・おぼえていますか-エリントシーカー-Premium-Finish/dp/B07MZ68RY9/ HLJ: https://hlj.com/1-60-scale-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-ve-1-elintseeker-premium-finish-aca82149 Nippon-Yasan: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27278-macross-1-60-kanzen-henkei-ve-1-elintseeker-premium-finish.html
  20. Same here. As a Valkyrie couple, I prefer this design compared to M&M's. Same here too since I really need to stop the 1/48 size with just Hikaru Valks.
  21. Ok. So Bandai have the rights on making Macross Delta Valkyries. And Bandai already made the VF-1J in DX form. What are the chances for these two to get made?
