mister_e Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I don't generally believe in pre-ordering things, especially toys. I've also never ordered from HLJ. All that being said, my pre-order has been placed I will not miss out on Max's Super 1J again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Awww man, there goes the neighborhood on my investment. And I was soo hoping to sell my M&M sets on ebay... Um yeah right. Good to see they rerelease these but I am not getting them. My house is already gonna kill me plus I already have enough M&Ms from the first batch.

Valkyrie addict Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I want Max's Q-Rau too!! maybe I should buy a pair, save them up, wait a couple of years and sell them for 300+ each...ow yeah! Macross items are never a bad investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awacs Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 And to think I had given up hope of getting a 1/48th Millia to go with my Max. (Can't have Max on his own - poor chap gets understandably morose when Milia isn't around). This is good news for my collection - very bad news for my wallet mind you. Don't think I will be able to resist picking up the Milia - it is my favourite TV Valk colour scheme after all. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been ordering from HLJ for nearly 10 years, and I've never been burned. And mind you I've ordered alot of stuff over the years, from small 5.00 SD gundams kits to the really pricey Yamatos so I've had plenty of chances for something to go wrong.

HoveringCheesecake Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 If I buy both, will shipping double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 If I buy both, will shipping double? www.xe.com 4700 yen(EMS shipping) x 2 = 9400 yen = $79.79 USD you might want to go with toy-wave or some other HK based seller, they'll probably be a little cheaper since they won't force you to ship EMS.

HoveringCheesecake Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oh, I could convert it myself - I was just wondering if HLJ had something where only the first item was uber expensive and the rest was a modest charge on top of that. Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Dammit!!! I just dropped 350 last month for a Max because i didn't think they were going to release it anytime soon. Oh well maybe now i will get a Miriya. I never wanted it before but might as well get one now just in case they stop selling them again. For real? That's a bummer. Keep it for a long time and maybe they will get hard to find again in future. As a general rule: if it isn't the Limited Edition, like the low vis 1 and credit card valk, it's best to assume they will just get reissued. When is yamato going to make the green alaska base valk?

gian7675 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Awesome news. Max, Milia, plus the SV-51 and Shin's VF-0A. Where can I donate a kidney? Pssst, bro, if you're going to donate the kidney, you'll get nothing .....so..I suggest you go to the black market for human parts...it's located at....

Warmaker Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) You see a predominantly white with some green colored VF-1A's in the TV series, towards the last 1/3 of the whole show. IIRC, it's when Misa visits Alaska / Grand Cannon Base to visit the Admiral. You see maybe 2 of these green & white valks standing guard.

Mog Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Credit card valk? What's that? I'm trying to do this all off of memory, so someone correct me if I get any of my facts mixed up. A couple years back there was an offer for a limited edition all-black VF-1J Valk'. Problem was that it was limited to just three valks. And you would have to sign up for a Japanese credit card just in order to get into the drawing for one of these rare birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 That's right. Similar to the Stealth, but completely black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowerV2 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I will not miss out on Max's Super 1J again Indeed. none of us want to... Never again!!! I'm not gonna take a risk this time. It shall be mine for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang. Actually, the shipping cost varies from what you see. It might be a bit more expensive [say, 4950 yen] but two items together will definitely not cost 9000+. They combine shipping and depending on the weight difference, it could be cheaper than you expected. I once had three HCM Pro figures shipped together, expecting a shipping charge of about 4000 yen. It only cost 2000 yen. On topic-just got Max for myself. Having the set is nice, but paying that obscure amount for two identical moulds is too much.

skull001 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Great news!! Thankfully I didn't get the Hikaru 1J and Stealth, I am missing a 1J in my collection and really wanted the Max 1J! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busted VF1A Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) I love this more than the stealth 1J and all the different shades of grey. Meh, it seems kinda boring to me. It's alot like the Jetfires I use to repaint when I was younger ( almost all of which are now gone, I think my parents still have one in a toybox somewhere) The solid black just feels like something a little kid would paint, since it doesn't need any masking.

mister_e Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I just wish we had better pictures of this credit card valk. It looks very plain, but the pictures are so small. Oh well, if anyone has the "completist" bug, at least this scheme should be pretty easy to reproduce. I wonder if it came with any kind of special packaging or a certificate of authenticity or anything of the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsjado Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 was the black valk released by yamato, or is it a custom? this is the first time i've seen or heard of it. and why is it called a credit card valk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Three lucky people in Japan who applied for the Macross credit cards got them. These came out before the Stealth did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsjado Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 a macross credit card would be sweet if it was a rewards style card. every time you use it, you earn points toward exclusive macross items and if you use the card to buy mac merch, it doubles the points.
