From Japan might end up being the cheapest if you’re not from Australia and shipping more than 2 units. if you’re from Australia it will potentially be more expensive than other proxy stores as From Japan are enforcing the GST collection for Australian customers. They only charge ¥300 - ¥700 service fee flat rate, but I’m not sure what their payment fee is for purchasing on your behalf. Might be a percentage?

Ordered with AE. I like that I didn’t have to pay shipping until later. AUD is a little weak right now too. Looks like they charge actual shipping costs too, unlike NY that is always inflated and even on release they have the gall to request additional shipping.

If they continue to produce Macross related toys, Bandai will be raiding and shutting down all their factories like they have been doing to other toy makers from China that are infringing on the Gundam license. Then again, it's not really Bandai's property or responsibility to stop unlicensed usage of the Macross brand, so just like Valkyrie Factory, they could continue to operate under Big West's nose.

That’s an old video. I got all excited that we’d see another feature video of this highly anticipated valk.

Curious about why you feel the price is pretty steep. Comparing to SH Figuarts and Figmas it’s on point with their pricing and I feel the quality and features is aiming to be the same level as those series of action figures.

Roy needs to come with a guitar. And casual Claudia with a pineapple salad.

Just preordered a Rick for the March release. Couldn’t resist the 10% discount and free express shipping. Local retailer charging $120 AUD for Jan release. I’m not really an action figure collector (besides having a figma Kirito and Asuna), but these are really looking nice and will look ace with the DX VF-1 series. Looking forward to more characters!

I'm still concerned that all guardian mode displays have the wings swept back behind the shoulders. It's as if there is not enough clearance between the wings and shoulders, so they just can't be spread wide in guardian mode.

If anything it shows how easy the DX VF-1 is to play with. You only need 1 hand. I don’t think I can transform my yamarcadia VF-1 toys with 1 hand. I also love that it’s not bright white. Will make weathering it much easier.

I wonder if you’re ordering a large number of TWE items would it be better to go with a proxy service instead of NY, as NY’s shipping is always highly inflated, granted that the proxy service is not also charging inflated shipping. Also the chance of getting your items from NY has been sketchy for greater than 1 qty TWE item.

watch them play with the final version!

I feel if Bandai is releasing a MB of a particular release, and we are able to obtain it first hand from a retailer (not scalp price), we should support Bandai and buy that over a 3rd party release. It's only fair if we've bought the official Bandai version we have the option to also own a 3rd party release of the same toy (unless the original is still available to purchase at SRP - which is highly unlikely for GFFMC / MB releases). Grey area when it comes to units that Bandai have not announced or different scale.

Depends if your CC charges currency conversion fees for making a payment in yen. Personally I always pay in the store’s native currency and let my CC do the currency conversion, as my CC doesn’t have any currency conversion or international transaction fees.

This is one line I’m happy to collect hero units for. My list: - VF-1J Hikaru in all 3 modes - VF-1S Fokker TV in battroid mode - VF-1S Hikaru TV in fighter mode with Super packs - VF-1D Trainer in gerwalk mode maybe: VF-1A Max in battroid mode I probably wouldn’t get the GBP unless it’s released as a bundle with the 1J.

Kyun kyun!

Who else is going to end up gluing those faux ailerons into place to increase the playability?

Quite nice effort from MClub. I'd still get the official MCGFF version from Bandai first as it's the right thing to do. If I wasn't able to get one at retail / near retail price, then I'd consider getting the MClub release. Doubt I would get too. Not sure if I need that much Char Zaku in my life. Can MClub please make some GMs? Like the 0083 Armored GM or Unicorn Jesta?

Not sure it's a 100% clone copy of that kit. There are many subtle differences all over, but no doubt heavily influenced.

I like all of it except for the fore arms. Why add beam shield emitters? Nice to see MC doing an original mold though.
-
Minmei included with the MHR gives me confidence that if a DX VF-1D is ever released it will most likely also come with Minmei.
-
Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

The same anecdotal evidence could be taken from the VF-25 V2 series. I didn't think there were any adjustments to that design for any of the toys in that series. Granted the Ver 1 was kind of the test bed for that series right? If the DX VF-1 is fine on the VF-1J I wouldn't expect Bandai revise the DX with Ver 1.1, 1.2 etc. They did well on the 31 series as mentioned. Also the 29 too?
