  1. Has anyone here had to ask Mandarake for a missing package?

    My Nexx VF-2SS has not showed up yet after 3 weeks. Via EMS.

    It usually takes a week and a half, 2 weeks max to arrive to my door. My package hasn't showed up in customs here in Mexico.

    Mandarake FAQ says EMS has free up to 20000 yen insurance but I can find any procedure.

    I just have to contact Mandarake via e-mail?

    It is my first missing packce in 20+ years of collecting.

    LOL....not the first time some "reviewer" did the same thing....:fool:

    Forgot to mention that oddly enough some parts of the video when he is transforming the toy are just reversed parts of the original record.

    Look at 1:28 when he is opening the feet to transform from fighter to gerwalk mode

    With the Vf-1, is it only SDFM ones that come with the full cavity fillers?

    And is the VF-1S latest release white plastic, or slightly grey. Difficult to tell from various pics.

    Chest side cavity filler became a thing with the TV Hikaru Super VF-1S. Revival GBP VF-1J, TV VF 1-A Max and Kaki are the only ones that have them so far.

    TV Super Hikaru is brigh white.

  4. Max and Milia Hi Metals.

    Post man just delivered Max a few minutes ago.

    Milia was sitting in its shipping box for like 3 weeks. Was waiting to unpack both of them together.

    Milia is sealed. Max was listed as used and box damaged with missing piece. The missing was the neck filler piece but it is installed on the battroid. For 10000 yen it is very good.

    This morning just nabbed a VT-1. Hope to have it in hands next week.

    Now I'm only down to the VF-4G.

    Waking up early in the morning has paid of, kinda.

    Missed the VF-1A that popped there today.

    I'm finally catching up collecting those elusive Hi Metals. 

    I'm down now only to the VF-4G.

    Also a sealed HMR Defender:

    It's crazy how much the HMR Destroid prices continue to climb.. :unsure:

    Past week a DYRL VF-1S Roy Special popped there too at 23100 yen.

    I was lucky to grab it early in the morning since it was a hole in my collection.

    Those have been selling for quite a good money at Mandarake. Last sealed Hi Metal R Hikaru VF-1S sold for 22000 yen.

    Those tiny buggers are going up in price fast. 

    Good thing I'm only have 3 to hunt down.

    The Mechanics Edition also went through about the same lottery system as this 50th Anniversary, but we do see it pop up at Mandarake and elsewhere. Seeing that early lotteries are limited to higher level Tamashii members only, my best guess are these members who are collecting other lines but not Macross, just throwing their hat into the lottery & make a bit of pocket money to resell if they do get one.

    We know stores like Luna Park appear to be buying on the secondary market to resell, so that's where they are getting their stock.

    If one lands in Mandarake for sure I'll grab it if I have the chance.

    I would have like to grab the Mazinger Z but I don't like the gold color.

  8. How some stores get their hands on items like this?

    Do they have some staff members in this Bandai clubs or something? 

    Given the rarity of the item I don't see anyone coming to store like Mandarake to sell it to the second market.
