Question regarding HLJ. If the release date is on the 20th. When do they usually send out those payment request email links? A week before release? 3, 4, 5 days before release? Thanks. Just trying to budget some PO stuff.

Cuddle time! Hahaha!

Congrats on the PO purchase, raptormesh! I totally agree on your justification assessment. Both came from different manufacturers. But I must admit that Shinsei Industry puts more tampo on their fighter planes than General Galaxy. Love to see that one, Kurisama.

I could only translate the katakana, David. Here's what I read so far: YF-19 Galaxy Demonstration Tour. YF-19 in Roy Focker's Special colors. Pilot is Isamu Dyson. I guess, repainted for demo purposes.

You shouldn't blame Bandai for that. They never do such a thing. Hahaha! Kidding aside, all Valkyrie units have their own make and histories. Unit A went and upgraded as Unit B. In example, YF-21. It was upgraded to VF-22. Same thing with YF-19. It was mass produced and called as VF-19A. But still keeping the name 'Excalibur'. Now why Isamu's VF-19 looks like YF-19? Since the mass produced VF-19 were identical to YF-19 physically, Isamu kept his signature colors on his VF-19A unit. In which in Macross F, it was now called VF-19 Advance (Isamu Custom). You can check its history here via Macross Mecha Manual. YF-19 Prototype: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/variant-yf-19-prototype.htm YF-19 (Macross Plus): http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/yf-19.htm VF-19A: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossga/vf-19a.htm And the rest of the 19's are featured in the Macross 7 series. So in other words, Bandai didn't made up that story just to produce the toy. But in doing so, Bandai just literally produce their own 'YF-19' as well.

Now I'm thinking. Is there a member here who started their Macross collection by buying first the Yamato's 1/3000 SDF-1? That would be awesome.

True. That's 5 seconds airtime and 2 seconds of Wahoo. And look what it brought us.

That's probably a lot of Saint Seiya then.

You can really tell just by watching the video that it has a strong pink hue to it.

Hahaha! Told you guys before, it will be here stateside by July. That's the spirit. Think positive! If not... cry later. Paid upfront at CDJ, Shukenzero? If so, then that's a guarantee that you're going to have yours soon. That's ok, OzmaLee. July is just around the corner. Atleast when you open your box it will be three figures instead of one. Which shipping method did you choose, anubis? Guess most of us will get it by July, eh. All for one!

If I do that... For sure I will also need to buy a Masterpiece Prime. Hahaha! ...or Quakewave (Shockwave).

Don't you mean GBP 'BOX' overload? Hehehe. j/k barurutor.

Glad that everyone get theirs! Happy Valkyrie Friday guys!

As always. Great review, jenius.

That's the spirit, dear sir. No regrets.

By the way, what's the finished size of this product? Height, Width, and Length? Thanks.

That's 10 days before release date or 10 days for shipping?

Hope so guys. Coz this is the first time I PO'ed 2 of the same item. I already paid the one from NY. Just waiting for HLJ payment request.

9 more days to go everyone. ...plus extra 5 days for shipping.

Yeah. Basically, the revised pilot figures is too 'small' to sit them tight properly. Those were my plans too on my Valk stickers. I still have other ones which is not done yet.

Congrats Gwynne! Great hauls.

Thanks Ignacio! Oh man, now you made me want to buy one.

Saw my notification on this thread hoping for an Olson or OrgussII Hi-Spec figure announcement. Thanks for the link, DarrinG.

Rest in peace, Mr. Lee. I've always been afraid of his Dracula movies.

Hey no worries man. The title of that FAQ thread too somehow should be just like FAQ or something without the 'noobie' word. But since most noobies also post their own thread without looking or reading on the first pinned thread. So that's ok, I guess. As for your sticker question, you could try this water slide decal I've found over eBay if you want. It's designed for Yamato 1/60 scaled Valks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/new-Water-Decal-for-YAMATO-1-60-Macross-Valkyrie-VF-1-action-figure-FREE-SHIP-/261858903569?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cf801c611
