Nice score!! If I ever get another V.2 VF-1S this is the one I want to have! Hint hint Arcadia!! B))

Thanks. With the recent announcement of the Arcadia M&M re-releases, I was thinking it might happen be that Arcadia would eventually re-release this super bundle as well. But who knows how long that might take, and also…

Congrats.  3 things about that make it really nice:  it's a later release by Yamato, it's white, and it has lovely TV Super Parts.

Thanks. And yep, pretty much.

15 Regults, 2 Glaugs, 3 Monsters, 41 VF-1's, 6 Defenders, and 3 sets of Missile Effects.  I also have 1 of each release MISB.

You have some Spartans, too, right?

At any rate, that is one impressive list. I'm trying to imagine the amazing scene you could create with all of them together. Though you'd need an entire room!

Oops I meant Spartans.  I have Defenders preordered.  Yeah they'd fill a room.

This is possibly the best LEGO set ever. Enough details to act like a scale model, functioning stage separations, comes with Lunar Module and Command Module splashdown diorama, 1 meter tall, 1969 pieces at $120 retail price. The rocket may look simple on the outside, but man the build and engineering on the inside is absolutely MIND-BLOWING.

Got another Nousjadeul-Ger and finally had a chance to clean it.  Personally I think they scale well with HMR.  Please excuse the well kept MISB collection in the background.  B))

Nice storage! Looks very familiar;)

Got a big haul from Zenmarket this week :lol: 

VF-1S and Defender are sealed. YF-21 was a store front item; box is worn but the contents look new.

Defomecha were a relatively cheap impulse buy. Two sets of four and I believe each set was 1000 yen plus shipping.

Saw this and decided I wanted to get it. Then I saw the part count and now I really need it because that kind of sense of humor deserves reward.

Yup. I highly recommend getting one (or more). It's a super hot item right now so if try to secure one before stock runs out. Another thing I forgot to mention is how sturdy it is. You can swoosh it around with one hand wihout any worry of it falling apart :lol:

They already issued the 0S with Arcadia!

Probably he meant he has 3 Yamato ones, and didn't bought the Arcadia release. Hence...

If you want the full package with the ghost booster, the original Yamato is the only way to go.  The later releases were pretty darn solid too, and while I did pick up one of the Arcadias as well, I'm not letting go of the originals. :)

So the Saturn V is probably the highest demand I've ever seen for a Lego set (Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!! was pretty easy to get by comparison).  Normally, their online shop will let you place orders for things that are out of stock, and they'll ship once they become available, but this one hit a hard "unavailable" in a matter of days.  I missed the initial window, and had to camp the shop site for a few days before they went back on sale, and even then the order window only lasted about 6 hours.

People have found them in the wild at certain retailers and Lego locations, but if you don't have something like that nearby, I recommend putting those Macross pre-order F5 mashing skills to use, and keeping the product page up.

The trick with the parts count is pretty awesome.  Kind of reminds me of the pictures of the fake Deadpool Lego sets that got circulated around the time the movie came out. :lol:  I'm still disappointed these weren't real.

I like the white paint of Arcadia 0s, but that is out of my budget atm.
