Weird...this one was no-shipping I swear, and now it is shipping enabled. And the Roy Focker is apparently out, at least via Amazon. Odd..HLJ is in stock for HJ Vintage, but Amazon says on the 3rd, but Amazon says Focker is out now, but HLJ shows not in stock yet.

i think the max pic upload dimensions are 4500x4500, so if you keep it under that it should be ok

Got notification the HJ Vintage is in stock at HLJ...so clicked SHIP! ($25) Thanks for the heads up on this book's existence, I totally missed it otherwise.

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
Shawn replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Hey-looks what is on the cover of the upcoming Hobby Japan Vintage Vol 4! (check the first page of this thread) https://twitter.com/GwynCampbell/status/1298275100702019584/photo/1 Nice! Can't wait, less that 2 weeks to go! S -
OK, not trying to be a smart-ass, really, but what is the point of the 310 sticker for the other (left) side tailfin. I thought the reason for doing 310 on the right fin was to have a 'style uniformity' in battroid mode with the tail fins folded So if you 'fix' the right side, you would then apply this to make the left side 'uniform' in battroid? There is an obvious non-smart-ass answer, but I can't figure it out yet. Help! Maybe it just make the left side broken to match a non-fixed right side? Do the instructions say anything about the decals?

This seller had 2x available this afternoon....and they removed their no shipping to the US restriction, so I jumped on it and got one. The order 'took' so will see if they change their mind. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B089WGZJDG Shipped was 28400, so not good, but not bad... Order Summary Item(s) Subtotal:￥ 23,900 Shipping & Handling:￥ 4,500 Total:￥ 28,400 Grand Total:￥ 28,400

Thanks for the correction! 8/25 it is. S

I've only ever see that bottom large skylark poster once before at auction (and lost) for 15k. Is that yours?

So Kakizaki was supposed to be released on the 18th right? Been watching Amazon, and the pre-order went to in-stock, now almost out of stock (unfortunately they don't ship here) https://www.amazon.co.jp/DX超合金-劇場版VF-1A-バルキリー（柿崎速雄機）-超時空要塞マクロス-愛・おぼえていますか/dp/B089WGZJDG

Got notification HLJ has the Mospeada Book in stock-so it is now on the way! Glad to hear it is has content on the model kits-those are my favorite
-
BW specifically targeted this one item, so I made a decision to restrict discussion of it on the boards to respect that. I am not privy, and suspect neither is anyone but Noel, as to why they chose to make a notable vocal exception on this product and single him out. Its been made clear that my actions to restrict discussion are hypocritical, and I've made it clear my reason for the request.
-
My order with HLJ still shows open (not fulfilled) so I'm waiting too. I'm sure they've get it in stock soon.
-
Woah....that is a great looking piece! I can't recall is there a final version of that?
-
That Max VF-1S is incredible, nice work!!! Have you thought about painting the wheels white? (my only real gripe with the Bandai 1/48) Instead of the 001 decals coming in the Kakizaki to fix my Movie Hikaru tailfin, I wish they'd swap in some white wheel hubs!

Hi everyone, I'm asking you now to please limit any discussion of the specific Calibre Wings stock "CA72DC02 1/72 F-14 Low Visibility" on the forums here. This item has been specifically flagged by Big West and we will honor this notification the best we can. https://macross.jp/news/?id=1293 Please limit any 'well what about X and what about Y' products...we are not perfect by any means, but we TRY to point the site in the correct general direction. Lets leave it at that for now, most appreciated. You can discuss whatever you want via PM, I've no control over that, but please limit the public posts here. Thank you! The Management

Not sure it quite fits in here, but maybe. Over the decades have been collecting discount movie coupons and tickets. They are usually found pretty darn cheap, so it is fun finding all the variations!!

My most prized art piece, an original Takani of Milia's VF-1J in Gerwalk mode. I'm just in awe at how much detail he put into his art, he is my #1 favorite artist, then Tenjin of course! Got it back in 2011 for the most I've ever spent on a single Macross item, $800! (I"m not a crazy cel collector like some of you, where that would be a drop in the bucket) If you did not remember, he had a lot of his work up for sale. This was the cheapest valkyrie, so did pooled all the pennies together. http://www.macrossworld.com/the-ultimate-yoshiyuki-takani-macross-collection/ Again, have posted this before, but this is the first HQ pic I've uploaded of it. This REEEEEEAAAALLLYY makes me want a Macross Box art BOOK. Maybe I could do an unauthorized one like the Transformers ones or something and not get into too much trouble. Something something fair use right? From the Imai 1/72 Variable kit.

Miyatake's SDF-1 art for the Gold Book (note the date...AFTER the release of the movie...so a bit ret-conned!) May have posted this before, but I borrowed my daughter's camera for some better quality. Got this way back in 2001 or something when I went to Japan with Graham and Seiichi. We stopped at Mandarake and saw them in the display. The ARMD was 13000 yen and the SDF-1 was 15000 yen...I know, a real rip-off, LOL :P

My hikaru puzzle was all in pieces in the bag, so opened the staples and put it back together today. Even though these things are small, doing Macross art is actually pretty darn hard (I also had to re-assemble my sdf-1, it came loose in the bag) Also picked up the last of the 3 puzzles, so I got that going for me, yay. Just missing one of the shitajikis (this same pic of the valk in front of the sdf). I think I have an extra loose hikaru/misa if anyone has a dup of the sdf-1 version they want to trade to complete their own collection.

Akim, HLJ ships to Europe, but if you have any problems, I'll happily ship to you once I get mine (you've been a great help in the past) https://support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001861474-Shipping-Methods-Overview Shawn
