wjrmonkey Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Anyone saw this set on TaoBao? The guy made them himself. It's really 1/72 scale but it works equally well with 1/60 macross valks. Looks pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Nice, i think it can work well withe the VF-1s but for the 0s it's a bit too small...I would buy one if had enough room to display it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjrmonkey Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 these are not kits and they come finished and ready for display. And this guy also makes the carrier elevator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I’ve never used Taobao before. Any insight? These are incredibly cool. Chris Edited April 5, 2021 by Dobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjrmonkey Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 So the elevator set is sold out. The carrier deck A+B+C+D retails for around USD $380 plus taxes but international shipping might cost another approx $100 to the U.S. in my experience. The seller need to make them so there is a 30-day waiting time before shipment. Taobao offers warehouse storage, repackaging and shipping to the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they also do packages consolidation? Combining multiple packages from different sellers into one package to ship to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjrmonkey Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Yes. Taobao does that. But they can hold everything for you for only 20 days before a daily rental fee kicks in and in one order you may not make more than 20 items (individual purchases). Also there are a myriad of forbidden items not allowed to ship: weapons or miniature replicas, batteries, shampoo, resin models, anti-communist propoganda items, etc. For something like this I wouldnot consider grouping them with anything else. There is also a maximum package box dimension requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
