jeniusornome Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 It’s a quantum Valkyrie. Until you open it and the state resolves upon direct observation, it could have the correct numbering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(had that happen to me before once where customs delayed an item. find out they opened a sealed item then resealed it in shipper box...)

Sanity is Optional Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 All my stuff gets opened and inspected; if I ever want it opened, better to do it up front when I can still do a return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Got my open box VF-1S from Mandarake today. Been liking this model a lot more especially since there's no DYRL vf-1a hikaru anyways. This one worked out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, there will be a Hikkie DYRL 1A as the display was shown a few months ago, but who knows when. Better to swoosh and enjoy now than wait 2 years haha! Plus, you know you've all recreated the end of DYRL with your 1S, SSP and missiles!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say that up until very recently I didn't get the allure of having "one of everything". For example, the entire Vermilion squadron. I get toys based mostly on their aesthetics. If I like how it looks, I want it. Who the pilot was, etc was never much of a factor for me. Then I got the big Macross box set a few weeks ago and finally sat down and watched Zero, DYRL and PLUS. Now I kinda get it. I already had pretty much everything from Zero because I think they're beautiful. But, once I saw Roy with the Reactive Armor guess what went on the "must have list"? After watching DYRL I now want a DX VF-1A Hikaru with Supers. And after watching Plus I want another 21 to display in de-limiter mode along side one in regular mode. And maybe one more with a Fold Booster. So yeah, I get it now. You can put a Yamato YF-21 in De-limiter mode correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross collecting can fill a cabinet or garage very quickly. And yes, the Yamato YF-21 can perform delimiter mode. As a side note, so can the VF-22 M&M and Gamlin.

One Detolf turns into five...turns into a retail case...turns into I better keep this boxed in the garage or basement until I can rotate because my wife will kill me if I take over any more space.

At Jungle, you need to add I think 5-10% to the listed price for their surcharge. It's 5% on top of the listing price for Paypal fees etc, then the S+H fees once everything is done. So that interns 1,350 yen additional to make a total of 28,850 yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
