Bandai 1/60 DX Chogokin Macross 7 Fire Valkyrie

Is it just me or does it seem like this step was either missed, or if the gunpod inadvertently unlocked itself from the boomerang position it’s supposed to be in when in fighter mode.

Probably more that they just completely missed this part.

Whether that will look any better is still up for grabs though, since it's just dropping the pod even lower.  Plus, Bandai didn't make the lower fin under the barrel retract like Yamato's version did.

But hey, not even Bandai could remember to unfold that gunpod for some of the poses in the instructions.

not sure if AI/LLM bot-scrapers are heavily scraping MWF right now, but forum's been weirdly slow in response-times.

As such,  import-pricing is currently down to 27.5k-yen for now at amz-jp as of this posting:

.

 

Not as low as the the previous 26k-yen import-pricing or the <22k-yen jp-domestic pricing, but at least it went down from the regular 30k-yen from earlier this afternoon's pricing.

fwiw, this particular jp-tweet says it's a "reseller killer" (scalper-killer) due to the current discounting. At least for jp-residents:

If amzn-jp lowered it to below 20k-yen for import-pricing, then it'll be very tempting for me to reconsider biting on it...

I Iike it, but at the current price Ill hold off for now.  I got the HMR at such a crazy low price, a whopping $65 on Amazon.  But eventually Id like one to add cause I like how it stands out from the rest.
