Much Obliged, Ken Edited April 10, 2018 by RED WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) I am not aware of any VF-1J Max or Milia with both Super and Strike parts. I just know of the Super parts versions for both. The grey versions of the VF-1S were the Yamato DYRL releases, whereas the white ones were the TV versions and I think the Arcadia releases too. In terms of where you can find the ones you listed.... Arcadia VF-1J Milia with Super parts: 18.,000 yen from AmiAmi http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-029641 or $197 from AmiAmi's eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Super-Dimension-Fortress-Macross-1-60-Kanzen-Henkei-VF-1J-Milia-F-Jenius/302688784531 Yamato VF-1J Milia with Super parts - 52,000 yen from Mandarake https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1063024715&ref=list or 51.840 yen from Jungle http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=101000012439 or $450 from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-VF-1J-Super-Valkyrie-Milia-Jenius-Yamato-1-60-Version-2/263557943284 Arcadia VF-1J Max with Super parts: 21,800 yen from HLJ https://hlj.com/product/ACA82138 or $260 from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arcadia-Macross-1-60-VF-1J-Valkyrie-Maximilian-Jenius-Type-with-Super-Parts-max/142511547230 Yamato VF-1J Max with Super parts: 54,000 yen from Jungle http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&do=detail&id=101000019622 Yamato VF-1S Hikaru with Super and Strike parts: 21,600 yen from Jungle http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=1956197 Yamato VF-1S Roy with Super and Strike parts: 19.440 yen from Jungle http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=121&id=1956183 or $200 from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMATO-MACROSS-VF-1S-Roy-Focker-Custom-with-Super-Strike-Parts-1-60-528/323190665028 Hope this helps.

Awesome! Thank you for the great information. I'm a little new at this so I'm doing what I can to learn (super strike parts for M&M). Do you know why the Yamato Versions are so expensive for M&M? The Arcadia's seem decently priced. Also, is there any difference between the M&M versions from Arcadia and Yamato? Color, tolerances, etc.?

jenius Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Arcadia was just released, Yamato's were rare and hard to come by. The only difference for sure is that the Arcadia toys don't have a rainbow canopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the process of picking up both VF1S Roy and Hikaru (Grey DYRL) does that matter? I'm trying to have them match as much as possible. I also picked up Yamato's V2 GBP VF1J if that matters.

jenius Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Stay away from v1 toys, they're awful unless the only thing you value is metal content. I'd say it's easier just to go all Arcadia and you would be getting newer toys all with the same canopy (clear) guaranteed.

I'd stay away from the Yamato v1 toys. I don't like the fact that they require you to completely disconnect the legs from the body, in order to transform them. The Yamato v2 and Arcadia toys resolved this issue. You can learn more about the Yamato v1 here: That being said, you may want to stay away from early Yamato v2 toys, due to their weak shoulder joints resulting in frequent breaking. I recommend you check out @jenius' article and video reviews about the Yamato v2 / Arcadia toy: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4599 and https://www.youtube.com/user/ScorchedEarthToys/videos. He has compiled a list of which toys are safe, and which to avoid. A few other notes to point out. 1.) Arcadia, in addition to re-releasing the Yamato v2 Max + Miria VF-1J Super valkyries, also released/will release "premium finish" versions of them, as well for a few other models. These have additional decoration on them, like no step and beware of blast warnings. An example video about the "premium finish" version can be found here: 2.) Given the aforementioned shoulder joint issue regarding the early Yamato v2 releases, you can actually buy replacement shoulder joints from Shapeways. I did this with a used VF-1J I got from eBay. Saved quite a bit of money by purchasing a broken valkyrie and doing my own repair work. You can find the replacement joint piece here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/DV3KRQCTN/kanzen-henkei-1-60-scale-fighter-variable-hinge Instructions on how to perform the repair can be found here: Edited April 11, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED WOLF Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Awesome guys thank you. I actually prefer the grey on the yamato Vf1s. I like the rainbow canopy vs clear as well. I am in the process of ordering the shape ways shoulder fix. I think it's 15 for 2 pieces. Honestly I just want the 5 valks I mentioned. I'm patiently waiting for the Mospeada figures to be releases.

I started collecting valkyries 3 weeks and 2 days ago. Now I have 8 of the Arcadia / Yamato v2 valkyries, with 1 more on the way, as well as 4 HMRs with about 10 more on the way or on pre-order. Believe me when I say that once you start collecting, it is a slippery slope. Like you, I thought space was a limiting factor. But then you start looking at display stands, so that you can suspend valkyries above each other in order to fit more onto a single shelf.

RED WOLF Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 *Big sigh*, I know I have already ordered more than my case can handle. I am thinking of setting up a second case. Its just a bit of work because I'll have to add custom lighting and background. I just can't resist a cool looking robot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED WOLF Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Nobody is selling the Vf-1S Hikaru with Super and Strike parts?? (Yammy V2) My best option is jungle but its going to be $260 and that includes shipping which is $55. I know the price is probably the best around, but I"m looking for something local and closer to $200. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Buyee and FromJapan as an example. They have online calculator to get an estimate of the total cost. Remember, it's the item price plus proxy service and two shipping fees that includes local (to the proxy) and international (proxy to you). Here's the shipping calculator for both so you'll have idea.
