With your budget, I'd probably go w/ the 1/72 model kits.

Just wanted to say thinks for everything you do for the Macross community, definitely very much appreciated!

What I don't understand is how these are almost guaranteed to break yet the price still remains very high.

I think people are still buying these because if there just aren't too many options if you want a VF-0. Yamato hasn't really shown too much interest in revisiting the Macross Zero line so I thought it would be pointless to wait and caved in and picked up a VF-0A Shin Kudo w/ Ghost Booster in all it's floppy glory. Despite all that, I still really love my VF-0A... but it'll probably forever remain fighter mode.

Just got my VF-1J M&M, and placed an order for DYRL kakizaki, TV Max VF-1A, and VF-1D. Just to be extra cautious is there anything I need to be careful about when transforming the forementioned valks? Does anyone experience any broken-parts with these molds?

One more question: the new 1/60 Roy VF-1S with flash light, will it be the new/improved mold or the one with shoulder problem?

any tips will be appreciated.

On the VF-1J M&M, when you pull the chest plate down, it's very easy to scratch the two white tabs that stick up from the back. Mine came with a little piece of paper in Japanese that pretty much cautions you about that. Basically on the VF-1J M&Ms, the white paint is very soft and easy to scratch.

The new 1/60 Roy VF-1S is supposed to have the fixed post VF-1D v2.0 shoulders.

I'd definitely buy side covers and more detailed cockpits/pilots.

wow, that miria vf-22 is beautiful. i can't think of any other valkyries in red... it looks great and it'll look even better next to max's blue vf-22. after seeing this, i'm already getting buyer's remorse with my yf-21 from the hlj sale and i don't even have it yet.

Seems there is one on sale in Ebay starting frome a couple of days ago, you can check.

Unfortunately the one going on eBay is the "unknown solider" version without the Ghost Booster.

still looking.... anyone?

Looking for a 1/60 VF-0A Kudo Shin Type with QF-2200D-B Ghost Booster. Prefer one w/o cracked shoulders, but will consider one w/ cracked shoulders if the price is right.

Does anyone know if Angolz charges your card immediately for pre-orders or when when the items ship?

Not only are they expensive, but they aren't even done very well in the first place. They look way too weathered imo... they look dirty as if they were just dug out of the ground or something. all of the custom jobs by members on here look 100x better.

should I get m&m or the vt or the ve-1

I more or less of a unlimited budget

What about m&m AND the vt AND the ve-1?

Anyone know anything about these? It says Super Parts, but they're pictured w/ Strike Parts... I'm hoping they fixed the shoulders while they were at it too.

Kudos to potatobbq for an awesome transaction. Thanks for the v1 1/60 VF-1J Miria, it was in mint condition, and the shipping was incredibly fast!

Thanks to Sturmvogel also! Super fast payment, perfect transaction!

Here are the boxes for the two YF-19s.

I just checked and the vf-1s is still available, and in fact I believe these are over stock from the initial production run which is why OD is still carry them with $73.99 price tag, you can buy the strike armor for about $30.

Unless these are selling out, I don't think there will be any re-production.

Yeah, I think you're right about the VF-1S w/o the Strike packs being from the initial production. I think they've never gone out of stock since I've been checking. The VF-1S w/ Strike packs were sold out for quite a while on Overdrive and HLJ though and now they're back in stock so I wonder if those are updated. I'd be willing to pay more for the bundled VF-1S Strike if they don't have the potential shoulder problems.

are they out of production? I have 4 strikes VF-1S, 2 roys and 2 hikaru. All are fine, my standalone roy vf-1s suffers one shoulder problem and the tint in the canopy chipped off.

I assumed they were currently not being produced because it didn't seem like the retailers were restocking them, but I just checked right now and now HLJ & Overdrive seem to have some in stock. So maybe they're still producing them right now after all... has anyone gotten any VF-1S Strike Valkyries w/ the updated shoulder pins yet?

I'm assuming the VF-1S Strike is not currently in production since it's unavailable at most of the retailers now. Does anyone have any idea when Yamato will start producing the VF-1S Strike again but with the updated shoulders found on the VF-1D and later models? I searched the release schedule thread, and other posts but couldn't find much info.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this forum so be gentle... I live in Southern California and was wondering if there is a store I can go to to purchase these toys? Any help would be appreciated and preferrably a place that doesn't jack up the price. Thanks.

You can try Frank & Son or Anime Jungle. Frank & Son will most likely have some MF stuff... not too sure about Anime Jungle since I haven't been there in a while. Prices are always going to be more in store than online, but with shipping costs, sometimes buying in store is comparable.
