    Bandai DX VF-31

    Macross 7 taught me how to enjoy valkyrie designs despite being in an awful show.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Amiami and a few other shops add on the Japanese consumption tax to their merchandise, even though us gaijin should be exempt from it.

    Preorder open at Amiami again.
  5. Whoa whoa whoa there's a life-sized VF-25 at the Sky Tree?! I guess a stopover in Tokyo is in order next time I'm traveling!
  6. Deserves another bump. Looks fantastic!

    Macross figures

    Still have no idea why there's such a drought of high quality Macross figures from the likes of Megahouse or Alter. Bandai does have a stranglehold on the recent Macross licenses, but those aforementioned figure makers are owned by Bandai, if I'm not mistaken.
  8. Arcadia really needs to reissue these because there are still a bunch of people who want them and I need replacement shoulders! Bonus: flying through the galaxy's furriest asteroid field.
  9. Gonna have to ask spanner for the other modes. My VT-1 is one of the earlier releases with the rainbow canopy but also cracked shoulders. Instead I finally got my two-seaters mounted together. Incidentally, my VE-1 also has a rainbow canopy but no cracked shoulders.
  10. Thanks for the heads up on it. Can never have too many strike part sets!
  11. Received the open box 1S from Amiami. Still looks brand new and everything. Just missing the gunpod as stated on the website. Luckily I have a spare. Great price for a 1S with strike parts.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Preorder up at Amiami http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-021748
  13. Got around to transforming mine. Had to handle it like a newborn. Stressed a few parts and snapped that damned head antenna again. Transformation involves some parts to be removed and then reattached, like the forearm gatling guns. Didn't bother painting the inside of the opening sensor unit on the weapons rack (it's a swapping part) since this thing's going straight back to fighter mode permanently after this. Joints are not particularly strong, and it's pretty back-heavy, so I had to use a stand. It looks nice but I'm really looking forward to the DX release instead.
  14. Well I did qualify my statement with "usually." For that price hell yeah I'll buy it from NY! Just hope nothing arrives broken. That's never happened with an Arcadia product before, right?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Well, YF-30 prices didn't really skyrocket till around the time Delta started airing. It came out 2 or 3 years ago. Hopefully, the overall suckiness of Delta will be mean more availability post-release.
  16. It'll spell the end of my wallet if Bandai started releasing metal builds of classic UC mobile suits. Don't really care for any mobile suits past the Char's Counterattack era.
  17. For me, HLJ's lower shipping prices and private warehouse option more than offsets the usually miniscule price differences between retailers. I personally don't mind just having one big shipment every two months.
  18. I agree. This thing is a pile of crap that belongs in the early 2000s. I'm going to order a VF-2SS instead!
  19. If you guys think this armor is fat, just imagine how really fat it would've been if Yamato had released a set on their 0S.
  20. Bought it. I have a spare gunpod from a broken VF-1A so it's all good.
  21. Unlike riding a roller coaster, serving in the UN Spacy does not have a minimum height requirement.

    Hi-Metal R

    If previous releases are any indication, then the proper VF-1 attachment will be bundled together with the future HMR Queadluun-Rau release.
  23. VF-4G is still available at some retailers as of this writing. YF-30 is long sold out and aftermarket prices are getting pretty high. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10354770
  24. Gojira vs King Kong? Gojira is 400 feet tall, King Kong is 40.
