Awesome pictures. I didn't even know the shoulder's opened up like that.
-
Exactly. Well said. -
Yeah life is exactly like that <rollseyes>.
-
Well aint that a kick in the teeth. I bought 3 at ny mark up prices.

I find this show frustrating. The protagonists never accomplish anything. Not only do they die but they die horrible deaths. Aside from Jamie, non of the antagonists ever get paid back. Even then they played that out sympathetically for Jamie. Strangely I can't stop watching. I just hope some of these guys get paid back in a satisfiying way.
-
They will. I'm sure of it.

Honestly to me $140 is way too much. It'd have to be at least an awesome color scheme (eg low viz ver1) for me to spend that on a fast pack less vf-1 that isn't rare.

The retailers i found that have bad customer service are N-Y, Mandadrake and jungle. All for different reasons and all of they rude and insulting. No issues with Amiami or HLJ (so far). Angolz actually had good customer service. N-Y is the worst. I have had over 3 issues with them. They don't even respond to emails have the time. Mandarake pissed me off. I tried paying for something from them and their site wouldn't allow me to pay for some reason. I asked for alternate payment option to get them their money and they cancelled my order and sent me an insulting email stating "be careful before deciding to place an order next time if you are not willing to pay". That made me so mad, the problem was on their end. Jungle is usually good but one time i scored some fast packs for $30. Then they cancelled my order for no reason. I sent an email asking what's up. No response. Emailed 5 more times - no answer. Finally get a response after i sent an email stating i'm not going away stating that i have 5 days to pay before the order gets cancelled. It worded very rudely too. I call Bs as it was only a day since i placed the order. I think what really happened is one employee decided to take the item for either himself of his friend. The email response i got when i initially ordered it was different from the norm> I remember thinking it was weird and not consistent with how they usually respond to orders. I saw that response in a recent order as well. Once i saw it, i paid for my item right away as i figured the same thing was going to happen. Usually i wouldn't deal with these kinds of people but unfortunately they have us macross collectors by the balls. The only one i will be able to drop is N-Y. After the vf-25s is re-released, i will never order from them again. Looking forward to that. Bad customer service needs to be re payed with loss of customers. Considering the amount of money i've spent at N-y in the last 2 years, they should be worried about losing a customer like me.

OMG a preorder that still available at both HLJ and Amiami. LOL! Amiami site lists it as 10th anniversary. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross 1/60 Kanzen Henkei VF-1J Valkyrie Macross 10th Anniversary Color Model(Preorder)
-
Well to put it this way, if it wasn't for the hard to preorder dx valks, i wouldn't order from NY. Once the reissue of vf-25s comes out i'll be officially done with NY. I look forward to that day.
-
Way too expensive considering what the same mold cost a few months ago. For that price I'd expect fast packs included. Matching after market value is no excuse to raise the price. Otherwise bandai might as well increase the price of their DX line to match NY prices.

Anyone seen this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/80s-Gakken-Lansay-Mospeada-Blue-Legioss-Tread-Robotech-Beta-Alpha-Macross-/400489340321 i wasn't aware of a gakken trend.
-
The amount of the markup doesn't matter. It's the fact there is a markup on toy that hasn't been released yet. Yeah there's going to be people who pay anyway (myself included) but don't expect us to be happy about it.
-
So you're only using the one connection point. How stable is it?
-
Technically it's currently cheaper thanks to the yen being so low. I'm locked in at 247 but now it's 243. I was so frantic to get the preorder i didn't want to risk changing the currency. Plus when i pay with paypal it won't take it out of my paypal balence if it's yen, it'll directly take it from my bank account which is annoying.
-
i generally see them for around $80-$90 without FP if you know where to look and you're not relying on ebay (stupidest place to buy IMO). I'm curious to know who these people are that are buying v1s for $130-150? The Micheal and Luca i can see as they come with the FP.

I remember snagging an alto yf-29 preorder from them before anyone knew about them. Found them using a random google search after missing everyone else's preorders. I was taking a huge risk when i paid for it as no one seemed to have heard of them. Risk paid off though. Good service and they always repy to emails quickly. Was never able to secure any other preorder through them since. Still sad to see them go.
-
Not for that price.
-
Aw man that's forever from now.
-
Wow. Never noticed that before.
-
What kind of glue is good to use?. I have to fix the shoulder panels on my 1/60 roy. Had to pry them apart in order to replace the cracked hinge.
-
No now its says delivered but this is the first time i checked since i got them. It was still saying in osaka about an hour before they got dropped off at my door.
-
Mine showed up yesterday. Awesome that almost never happens. I usually come home friday evening to see a failure to deliver notice and have to pick it up on Monday. This was totally unexpected since both my tracking numbers don't shop any updates since May 2nd. Opened all 3 to make sure i'm not missing a nipple cannon like my alto version was. Luckily all are intact.

damn i watch that site every day i never saw those except for the kakizaki.
