funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) OK, so who has the best price for this toy (including shipping)? HLJ preorder price runs around $228 shipped. Is anyone else slightly cheaper? Edited October 23, 2007 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks sh002! I have been regulary checking hlj.com for the early bird, but have been busy the last 2 days and look what happened! Woo Hoo! No supposed release date yet though... Dante, you can always just cancel the pre-order... It says November release. Not sure when in November....

David Hingtgen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 More importantly to me simply than who's cheapest----who has a decent price and gets them in and ships quickly? No point saving 10 bucks if you get yours 3 weeks later. For those who bought Ivanov's----who got them first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I got my Ivanov from Ken at Toy-wave ten days after it was available in Hong Kong. Shipped to Argentina, South America by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I was screwing around on Google last night looking for walpaper and stubled across this. I wish I knew who to give credit to, but I don't. Thats by Hidetaka Tenjin. All of his stuff is AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point saving 10 bucks if you get yours 3 weeks later. For those who bought Ivanov's----who got them first? I got both of my SV-51's and my VF-0S w/ Ghosts from these guys: eBay name crosszgundam and their store is Crazy Toys Paradise store I got my SV-51's for under $200 delivered to the US and I think I was the first person here to get one inside the US. I never even pre-ordered it. They day it was released I just searched them out on eBay and did a Buy It Now. I got both of my VF-0S's for $213 delivered also. I got all of them within 5 days.

VFTF1 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ok...NOW I have a dilema. She's slated for NOVEMBER!?!?.... But so is the 1/48 Roy Folker reissue.... I just CAN'T buy both (I'm also getting 3 display stands for my Valkyrie and the Revoltech 1A Hikaru).... So... Who should I buy?? Nora ... or Roy? I already own TWO Ivanovs... and I also have the VF-0S and 2 VF1s (WoodlandA and StealthJ) So it's kind of a tough call... Maybe I'll skip Nora after all? Two Ivanovs is plenty.... What do you guys think?? VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy007 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 i will have to counter that and say get the 1S Roy. One of the best looking valks yamato has put out...plus its like $100 cheaper than the nora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 You could also resell one Ivanov and get both the Nora and Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nani?! Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It's personal preference but if you like/love Macross Zero and you already have a vf-0s (with ghost or not) and you miss out on the Nora, then well what's the point in collecting Macross ZERO stuff????? IMHO, you dont have an sv-51 if you dont have the Nora! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I agree. Nora is the way to go. One of my favorite mech designs ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger69 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) "IMHO, you dont have an sv-51 if you dont have the Nora!" Ivanov is the ULTIMATE SV-51 guys!!

VFTF1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 All of you are WEEEEAAAAAKKKK FOOOooooooollllllls :) I - the ONNLY TRUE Macross faaan ....have ...decided!! :) I will BUY THEM AAAAALLLLLL!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! This is simply because I calculated how much 37,450 Yen is in Polish zloties and it comes out to 800 Polish zloties which is actually pretty cheap. At 200 for EMS and you get 1000zl .... that's not too bad - it's pretty roughly ....384 USD... Hm...that is alot... but...oh ... I dunno - I'll manage. Will get them all VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 November, take a 9 day delivery by EMS, just in time fo christmas stocking filling. Squidd, i have a HUGE Santa bag complete with white draw string and pompoms, my Macross goodies will be stowed there. To be honest, Nora is the perfect Christmas present. (SV-51 is second fav Valk) YF-19 for Christmas last year (picked up in Akihabara), Shin/Ghost for my birthday last May, and now Nora for Chrissy! YESSSSSSSSssssssssss! And by all means bring out the YF-21 around May. I tells ya Yamato know the important dates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I still don't understand how a November release could be a Christmas present unless you mean you're not going to open her for a whole month? VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 End of November, HLJ.com are notorious for releasing stuff later than what they first stated as the release date, so really i have only got a week or so to keep it in the box before i devour the box and pose her next to Shin. And HLJ.com are slow as for shipping, add another 3 or four days your looking at 15 days or more even with EMS getting here to Australia. So start of december, process shipping, send an e-mail out (lets say 5 days including weekend delays which happen) then gets sent out, lets say 10 days maximum. Lookie only 10 days to keep wrapped up. I'm just speculating... if it's 1 week and a half before Christmas i can handle that... mmmmaybe.

Kicker773 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 hmm.. i'll think i'll wait for the reviews first for the nora before i pick a few up.. plus it will give me a reason to pick up a few VFOs along with it.. dec. is going to hit my wallet hard since the lmt edition will be arriving..

funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 OK, preordered through HLJ. Does anyone have a guess when it will ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I'd say end of November (start of December), i will be surprised if Nora will be ready (and taking in account of HLJ.com's processing speed/shipping times) mid this month.

funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 BTW, Amazon Japan is taking preorders of the toy for a reasonable 18,500 yen ($163) and with free shipping. Problem is they won't ship outside of Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm not getting the Nora. I specially dislike the magenta joints, but I want to know if the Nora has any improvements over the Ivanov and get a second run Ivanov, so I'll keep checking this tread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had imagined them to be something like the old. The new looks really expensive! They must be doing really quite well to have done that. Cool architecture too.

Roy's Blues Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) I ordered via HLJ, due to there Nov. release date. every other place I looked had similar pricing, but a 2008 release date. this is most likely due to shipping delays from the winter holidays. I hope they correct the coloring, but after seeing the CF I do not have high hopes. Edited November 11, 2007 by Roy's Blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
