Okay, the kit will go into production in the next few days and the first batch should go out early next week!

I will shortly contact all people who showed interest in the kit, otherwise you can also PayPal me at awinkl@yahoo.com. Price per kit inc. PayPal fees and first class registered air mail worldwide is US$95.

Awesome work and the Misa figure is a great idea!

The kit also comes with a vacuum formed canopy, cockpit details and a little small pilot! They made the canopy, well the vacuum formed mold in a very interesting way. You will know what I mean when you guys get your hands on the kit!

Please put me down for one, is that $95 shipped to anywhere in the world?

Yep, price of US$95 shipped includes anywhere in the world (well most places, unless you are situated in the middle of nowhere, say Antartic or Kathmandu so)!

You might want to contact a well trusted member here called Neova as I believe he still has a few mib ones in storage from his days as an on-line seller!

I have the VF-22S Gamlin, brand new, which I can do for US$195 shipped to the US! As with the two new YF-19 variants, you are looking at aorund $210 each shipped. Shipping will be via trackable first class air mail and items will be bubble wrapped and covered with an outer waterproofing paper shell.

A recast of the Hobby Base Retppu 1/72 VF-11 Thunder Bolt with Fast Packs would cost around $90-120 shipped. I can also recast the kit in various colour so far a metallic dark grey finish looks best, after that a bluish grey looks also quite nice!

I will need at least 10 - 15 confirmed interested people to make this happen. I will also get back with the exact price in a few days.

There is also an official Australian release, which the picture quality is the same and same subs. I believe this version should be easier to come by nowadays as it was released after the US Animeigo set. I have this version and am satisfied with it!

The Hobby Base Retppu VF-11 fighter kit is actually more complex than the Club-M counterpart. Besides more pieces, it also makes use of ball joints to fit varous parts together, such as thrusters etc. I guees this is to give it a degree of maneuverability.

I am trying to find out which book or magazine this comes from. I have quite a few Macross books & magazines collection but do not seem to have the one with this article/excerpt, anyone?

He he, I have the Hobby Base Retppu kit (rubbing in) and wanted to do a conversion kit, two seater ELINT or so but just never got around to it!

Maybe if there is sufficient interest I can do a recast of it, now in colour of your choice with or without metallic flakes!

Which one are you after, red or blue?

Have a set of new in box Stealth Fast Packs from the combo set. Can be yours for US$150 shipped!

Managed to pass by the vintage hobby shop today and sadly the kits are alreafy sold. All they had left was the 1/144 VF-1X kit.

Some shop still carry them over here. But since they were a Japan only item (obtained through winning a raffle prize), prices are still way up there, about $80 before shipping!

Do not worry though as apparently there is a re-issue (new raffle) with re-paint variants coming this October. Dll dresses and flight suits of the figures are in metallic paint!

I think my local vintage model/resin shop has the VF-17D Nightmare. I will check it out the next time I pass by and see what the cost is!

Btw, I have a spare VF-1X Milky Doll figure (well the pilot to be exact), its US$12 shipped for anyone who wants it!

Yeah, those special finish coating is a pain to conceal. Though you must give credit to BanDai for trying to place most of the sure spots in hidden places.

Your best bet is to mix that colour up! Although it is advertised as a titanium finish, it looks more like a metallic pearl gloss finish.

Another idea it weather the gundam up and try and hide those un-coated parts with more weathering.

Assume I am correct what you are after, then your best bet will be Yahoo Japan!

Thee items were most likely event exclusive and limited, so it will be very difficult to get hold of them outside of Japan!

try and hook up with some of the members loacted in Japan and they might be able to locate you one!

Should be able to hook you up with one, PM'ed you!

I have a normal standrad grey colour used one, well actually opened and hardly used, just collecting dust in a corner. It is like new.

There is however a problem, I have misplaced or threw away all the adapter parts, which came with the set. This is not much of a problem if you intend to use it on the new 1/60 ver. 2.0 valks as they all come with the necessary adapter parts. Can be yours for US$35 shipped, registered post add $3!

The 1J Miria Revoltech was a mail order special. Initially it changed hands for crazy prices, around $60 or so but now it can be found for half of that!

If you want I should be able to get one the local shop, add shipping and the whole lot will be around $40.

Still have the Mac 0 boot 2 DVD set for sale. Can settle for $13 shipped via first class air mail!

I think they are just out on sale, got a call from my supplier, still debating though on whether to pick up a set or not.

The quality is BanDai gashapon standard, which at lately is not earning too many high marks. Guess better to wait and see first!

You might need to do a little searching here on the forum, if I am correct, it was some members here who did the moving SD Valks avitars way back, so that person should have some images, which you can use!
