Lolicon Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 50% off? I'll bite. I'll try to make it look a little prettier once I have it in hand.
F360 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Seems every time hobby search have a bargian sale , the macross item gets sold out in minutes
treatment Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 50% off! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10338583 Still overpriced even with that 50% discount...
QEssential Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Still overpriced even with that 50% discount... http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10338583 Damm, that's a good price!
no3Ljm Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Still overpriced even with that 50% discount... Hahaha!
mechaninac Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Missed it dammit... I guess I'll wait for HLJ to offer it at a discount.
microtree33 Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Are the problems with the floppiness and looseness inherent to the design or just QC failures? Trying to talk myself into a Nexx SAP set, but still having trouble justifying it even at $200 at AE.
jvmacross Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Engineering failures.... Several problems could have easily been avoided with tabs that would actually lock in place...tabs that would swivel or slide out of sight....etc These "failures" are most apparent in fighter mode....the battroid and gerwalk modes are actually very solid...
neptunesurvey Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I agree. Mine just arrived a few minutes ago and the fit is horrible in fighter mode. I am planning to keep mine in battroid mode.
jvmacross Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 I'm hoping that the SAP will help lock the fighter mode nice and tight....a fool's hope, I know....
mechaninac Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Time to see for myself just how decent =/= mediocre =/= horrible Evolution Toys' VF-2SS Silvie Gena really is. I just placed an order for a copy with Nippon-Yasan. They've slashed the price from ¥20480 to ¥11980 + shipping ($139.84 shipped via SAL for me); at this price I figured it's worth it just to sate my curiosity.
Sandman Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Damn knew I should have waited. This doesn't look good for evolution toys. The other upcoming releases might be shelf warmers.
F360 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Damn knew I should have waited. This doesn't look good for evolution toys. The other upcoming releases might be shelf warmers. Wonder if they will get the 50% off treatment too
anime52k8 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I'm gonna need to save this for later. I have a feeling this is eventually gonna relevant in the Delta show threads.
Sandman Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 What would be sad/funny is if sales are so low on the Nexx and fairy squad that they end up cancelling the standalone sap pack.
Mr Bomber Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13010-super-dimensional-fortress-macross-ii-lovers-again-vf-2ss-valkyrie-ii-silvie-gena.html 117.40 + shipping on NY What would be sad/funny is if sales are so low on the Nexx and fairy squad that they end up cancelling the standalone sap pack. dont jinx it!
Lolicon Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 They better not cancel the stand-alone SAP set. I'm hoping the addition of the SAP will help hide some of the terrible flaws and make fighter mode less of an eyesore. Have one on preorder now that I got my wish for a heavily discounted VF-2SS.
hal9000 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Well at that price how could I say no. I need at least one of every valk.
spanner Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13010-super-dimensional-fortress-macross-ii-lovers-again-vf-2ss-valkyrie-ii-silvie-gena.html 117.40 + shipping on NY dont jinx it! you see! now that's what they should have released them priced at! Much more reasonable and a better reflection to the toys actual quality. Still would I have bought one? hmmm probably not..
Sandman Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Yeah that price is pretty good. Makes me want to buy another. Then I remember this toy sucks.
Mommar Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Interesting, when the people who own one say it isn't even worth $117 that's pretty worrying.
Mr Bomber Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Interesting, when the people who own one say it isn't even worth $117 that's pretty worrying. i think 117 its a fair price for it.
F360 Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 $117 is a very nice price, i'm surprise it's still available at N-Y. It really makes you wonder if the standalone SAP will show up. Anyone that brought a VF-2SS will most likely want a SAP to armor it up. So the demand for SAP will be there. But then they have 2 products that combo with the SAP in May and June before the standalone SAP (august). If those sales don't do well either, they might not release the standalone SAP at all, which should increase the demand for the 2 combo products,
no3Ljm Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Just shipped off mine from HLJ before I saw this NY sale. Oh well. Gotta support the small company. Hehehe.
spanner Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) so I take it that NY has a whole bunch of these they cant sell sitting around collecting dust and want to clear them out!? maybe if they further reduce it to under 10k yen I might just pick one up.. key word here is "might" Edited April 10, 2016 by spanner76

XD even if they suck, you know you want them! Edited April 10, 2016 by Mr Bomber
spanner Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Spanner, why dont you just give in?, you know you want all the VF-2 for your collection! XD even if they suck, you know you want them! no dammit! it must cost next to nothing or free before I give in! hehehe!
no3Ljm Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 no dammit! it must cost next to nothing or free before I give in! hehehe! Nah. I think it's the pride that's kicking in. Hahaha! Go get one now, Spanner!
Kanedas Bike Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 no dammit! it must cost next to nothing or free before I give in! hehehe! Nah. I think it's the pride that's kicking in. Hahaha! Go get one now, Spanner! Anti-Tempter here. Don't, I almost bit on the 50% Hobby Search and even the N-Y price was tempting, but only on the premise of getting a premium (Yamato/Arcadia, Bandai DX Chogokin) Valkyrie at close to $ 100 retail. And it's debatable on whether or not this iteration of Evolution Toy's VF-2 fits the bill. I also remembered my impressions of this toy, and what others have objectively stated and decided I'd rather not. / -b.
treatment Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13010-super-dimensional-fortress-macross-ii-lovers-again-vf-2ss-valkyrie-ii-silvie-gena.html 117.40 + shipping on NY dont jinx it! Anybody actually bit on this? How much is N-Y actually charging for shipping-fees on this with that discounted pricing?
no3Ljm Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Anybody actually bit on this? How much is N-Y actually charging for shipping-fees on this with that discounted pricing? If you try their shipping calculator it shows Y4000 to US using EMS. So I guess it's still their standard shipping pricing for Macross Valks.
mechaninac Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Anybody actually bit on this? How much is N-Y actually charging for shipping-fees on this with that discounted pricing? I guess you didn't read the whole page. I posted the exact amount I paid to have it shipped via SAL.
