There are a few non-proxy site like Okini Land that still have it (though for a markup). Okini has it for under $300:

Anyone else have VF-1D's for a "reasonable" price?

I was a fool to pass on the kaki preorder. I was in one of my “better pay the bills” phases. Didn’t last long. I’m hoping won’t be hard to get a week after release. 

Macross IS a bill.

Thought I should provide an update on the silhouette project. I went through a bunch of line art and created silhouettes for as many things as I could. Some stuff like the Super and Strike 1S just look like indistinct blobs. If I start showing internal details instead of outlines, they look better, but that is going to take some time do right. Not pictured are the skull and kite symbol I finished a while back.

A silhouette you might want to add..........

Congrats and enjoy!!

Edit:  I guess I should ask you to clarify "inflation" before congratulating. LOL. Maybe you aren't happy with the purchase. Do you mean the price is inflated a ton from the 90's or do you mean the DX VF-1 is an underwhelming experience not worthy of the hype?

Its all good. Just saying I haven't had/purchased one of these Valks since  the 90's. I sold off most of my old model kits and toys back in the late 90's early 2000's. The quality of this new stuff is legit, I would have pulled triple shifts delivering newspapers on Sundays for this stuff back in the 80's.    

Is this what this entire thread is about?!  I got my first one of these things since the 90’s......wow, inflation...... 
 

So, whats the next big step with the DX line? Release of Roy this fall/winter........and then maybe another model or two announced fall/winter? Where do we go from here besides save for the Roy release?

Random question.......anyone have this image in an HD or higher pixel density? Trying to do a large canvas pic of it but I can’t find a big enough file.

I paid a fellow MWer $95 shipped for set of missiles. Got here yesterday,

Isn't that nuts.....plastic missiles!!

I agree with you guys, I'm thankful I have the coin to pay for a thing or two but its just fascinating and scary at the same time to see how much this stuff goes for. I guess the question is, does Bandai do this as a calculation? Like I mentioned, I feel like its becoming "normalized" to pay twice the price? I'm guilty of it, I purchased a Roy DX at over $300......and I just paused typing that.

I know this is going to sound "old mannish" but has anyone else at one point stood back and said......WTF......$300 for a "coveted statuette".......ummm....toy.  

I've been a fan of this stuff since 1984 but holy toledo......my 1984 side is looking at this and saying.......ohhhh heeeeeeell no.....you'll never have one of those in your lifetime.....and here I am, one orders.   Don't get me wrong I appreciate the stuff that goes into making this stuff but to pay basically twice the price.......seems to be normalized these days. I mean geeez......I don't see any of this stuff at MSRP any more. 

Anyone have (good or bad) buying experience from ToysOneJapan?

One question, I noticed the Roy DX has a stand included or at least it was pictured that way in a few places. Does any of the previous DX kits have that?

Hello all!! I've been around the boards awhile, mostly in the background checking this place out from time to time on the goings on with the Macross Universe. I'm still a big fan of the best Macross site on the web!!! I'm not going anywhere but some of my collection is.

Here's a link to all of the items I have on ebay.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpcfly1

If anyone has any questions or can answer one I have, send me a PM.

One question I have for everyone is, what's the deal with the teal vs white box on some IMAI kits? I see some people have them in white and mine are teal?

Thanks again everyone!!

Happy Holidays!!

A last reminder, just another day or so before the auction closes!! Also, I wanted to say thanks and cheers to all the fellow Macross fans that have emailed with questions and kind comments about the items! Thanks again.

Happy Holidays!!!

PM'ed about the 1S

Just sent you a PM....

PM sent x2, let me know if you got it.

Maybe I missed something in the last four pages of post but is HLJ the only people getting these new Roy's?? Is Kevin or anybody else getting them later and HLJ getting them first or is this just one of those times some wherehouse has a boat load they didn't know where to sell them???

Just trying to figure out where to send my money??

I was one of those guys who just picked up his first 1/48 a week ago, good price $160 shipped for a Hikaru VF-1S. OK so maybe the price was a little higher but given what they have come to I thought it was good.

Thanks for all the advice, I have a VF-1S hikaru on the way, paid less then $160 shipped. I know that's high but I think given the state of these bad boys it's not bad. You guys helped out a lot though some of you read between the lines better then others.

Anyway to those that helped. Big Thanks!!!!

ya his prices are not what I'm looking for as ebay is a better option. Anyway, I'm looking at a lot of different places and will get one from one peron or place soon, so if anyone would like to sell one, so be it. It seems I rattled a hornet's nest, not what I thought would happen.

Email at pcfly@mac.com or pm me if your interested.

I'm sorry!! I didn't want to start a debate,war,clash or sand fight

Just thought I would see if someone would be intersted as I am being sincere about my offer. I figured is someone was in California or the states shipping might be less then going overseas, thats all.

Thanks to those who understand.

Yikes!!!!!!! I didn't mean steal your 1/48's!!!!!! I have serveral old 80's Macross models and I know what it's like to want to keep this stuff. All I decided to ask was that only if someone who had the ability to buy them at a good price wants or need to sell one to somebody who would appriciate it for what it is. I'm not asking for a rock bottom k-mart price just something fair to anyone who might want to sell an extra one they knew they could make money on. Listen I purchased two Robotech Bookends at great prices last year and ended up selling one for a good price nothing out of control like was on eBay. that's what I'm asking.

We're all adults so no sand tossing in the sand box intended.

Sorry if this message come across wrong.
