Doubt scalping is a concern for such an item. It's a web exclusive and has a high price point, so the people who want and can afford it will be a smaller pool than for a cheaper Bandai DX item. Also, Macross Zero is nearly 20 years old and didn't exactly set the world on fire when it was new.
-
Do the "winglets" on the sides of the armor parts serve any purpose, such as carrying reaction warheads like the VF-25 armor? Or are they just for decoration? Guess I could open mine to find out... maybe after I finish my current project.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Haven't bought much lately, but what I have bought has cost a good chunk of $$$ (thanks SV-51 and PF VF-0D!). Now I can finally build that PG Exia... if I can ever find the time. Of course the long awaited armor parts.
-
What issues are you referring to? HLJ was down for scheduled maintenance the day the SV-51 was released, but you were able to request shipping as soon as the site came back up.
-
Let us know if you only get asked for 10%. I might go for a second if that's the case. Already spent $800 in the last couple of years already, between this and the SV-51.
-
Paid for mine. $419 for this bird after exchange. Glad my card doesn't charge any foreign transaction fees.
-
Got my invoice. 44990 yen. Meowzers!

Put in an order through From Japan. I wonder if Arcadia will give other valkyries this treatment?
-
I'm in for one. I wanted two but not at that price.
-
In short: YMMV. If your only metric is "Will I actually get what I ordered?" then any of the above places are fine. Even price-wise there's ultimately not much difference, compared to getting gouged after preorders close by NY or eBay etc.

There goes the HLJ discount coupon I was hoping to use on it.

$58 for HLJ but mine included Char's Zaku. She's a big bird. Box pic from HS.

I've managed a few, but you need Max level skills and speed to secure a DX preorder. Keep in mind they're a much smaller operation than Amiami or HLJ so they won't have nearly as many units.

Let's hope they spell FEDERATION correctly this time. -
My armor parts finally arrived earlier today. This was an excessively long time, mainly caused by AE taking over a week after release to finally show the damn thing as "in stock." Even their EMS shipping was slow. I don't care if they're backlogged or tired or drunk or whatever after the Obon holidays, taking that long is unacceptable. Having a bunch of orders piled up after the holidays and having to deal with it is their problem, not mine. As such, I will probably go the From Japan route for all web exclusives like this one. In short: F U AE. #firstworldproblems

Same. Site is still down though so I can't request to ship.
-
HLJ's site is conveniently down for maintenance atm, but I'm going to assume they got their SV-51 shipment in as well. I'll probably ship it out right away even though I'm only a month in on my PW. I really want it!
-
There's two War Machine armors for Bandai to release. The War Machine armor from earlier in the movie is different from the one in Infinity War. And of course the aforementioned Iron Patriot armor.
-
Already got a shipping notice from AE, so at least they're on the ball getting it out the door.
-
5900 for EMS shipping at AE. That's for the armor parts and Swordfish together.
-
Same. That's some slow order processing. For a second I thought I had ordered from NY.
-
Awesome! I should break my out of storage and show off the fix.
-
You found it! Unfortunately the images are broken, so it's not much help for people who want to apply the fix.
