PM'ed you about the kit!

Hi everyone,

I noticed that some sent out kits are still held back or supposedly when tracked on-line with the post office. I spoke with a post office official and was told that some mail sent to the US are either on hold or back logged due to the recent "Sandy" disaster in the East Coast.

Please be patient and the kit will show up soon!

I think the one on Ebay is the same one I saw in the shop!

Have you tried HLJ? I saw them once there and a fellow member/friend of mine bought a few sets but am not sure if they are still available.

I know a shop that still has one or two but the prices are so high it will scare you!

First batch ready to ship out this weekend, apologies for the long delay but finally got everything (well almost, just waiting for the decals) done.

Tomake it easy on me and not having to reply each individual, I will just change the status on the threads ordering list from "PAID" to "SHIPPED" with the relevant tracking number.

Kit's Power are as far as I know only offering recast items, some with minor mods. They actually do not even recast there own kits as my casting friend was approached by them to recast some of their stuff but apparently they pushed the prices so far down that it is not possible for my friend make money. The last I heard all their kits are now made in China using Chinese resin.

Hi Hikuro, no problem, kit is not yet ready for shipping anyways as I have been more occupied with my day job lately, though I will still try and get it ready for shipping by mid this month!

I think the recast kit cost me $300! Re-scribing some panel lines, adding some new bits here and there or even making a new wing out of styrene strips is easy but adding 6mm to an irregular piece over 15cms long and couple cms wide is not only a pain but mission impossible, better off making a new one or buy another kit and test luck again!

Yep, still have quotas for few kits!

Latest update: Have a handful of kits pulled from the mold but still need to make the vacuum formed canopy (will provide two for each kit, just in case you mess one up!) and waterslide decals.

Very nice, too bad I live in another country!

Does it have to be YF-21? I think I still have a VF-22S Gamiln somewhere.

If these are the decals you are after, they can be yours for US$10 shipped!

I have one but the box is so huge, finding another box to place it in and have it shipped halfway across thr globe is just not economical.

Honestly, you either need to find a local seller or might want to consider getting another new SDF-1, seeing thta HLJ is doing a sale right now!

I still have an original kit lying around, honestly one of the greatest resin kit ever made, superior detail and thinking that is was released 15 years ago and all hand sculpted!

Nowadays, if you look closely to some of the newer resin kits, there might be plenty of details but it could or most likely is made by 3D rapid prototyping machines and then recasted!

Ahh, yeah, I totally forgot, I started work on a Ultimate Strike recast kit, wanted to convert it to a Elintseeker but as with most projects...work, no time and not to mention quality issue of the kit (I still remember one leg is like 6mm shorter than the other!), I gave up halfway.

Thanks guys for all the thumbs up, this means I cannot fail now and have to keep up the good work! My success does not only lie with me but also my friend and his workshop with all the equipment, so I will extend all these praises to him!

Here are a few!

The two Japan Macross Chronicles mail in order exclusives 1/48 Yamato VF-1A valks are talking too much space, so need to find them a new home!

Both are brand new still original tape sealed, boxes in excellent condition.

- 1/48 VF-1A TV Max, SOLD

- 1/48 VF-1A Kakizaki, asking US$400 shipped

Worldwide shipping will be by air parcel with tracking out of Hong Kong and valk nicely packed in a strong and sturdy post office approved box!

Preferred method is PayPal's "personal gift" option, otherwise by normal method, buyer pays the 4.5% fee!

I have one, bought it from a Japan web shop. The valk is brand new, never transformed, only taken out of box once to make sure everything is there!

I also have the renewal VF-25S Super Parts, brand new still sealed in original outer brown box.

Make me a reasonable offer if you are interested!

Have a few Yamato 1/60 Macross "No Painting" kits! These were the web-exclusive released kits and come packed like a full model kit.The finish built product will be a version 2.0 VF-1 toy, fully transformable!

All kits are come with the 30th Anniversary optional parts and also exclusive to these kits, waterslide decals!

VF-1S, asking US$110 shipped

VF-1J comes also with baby pod, SOLD

VF-1D, asking US$130 shipped ON HOLD

Worldwide shipping by trackable air mail and preferred payment method by PayPal's "personal gift" option!

Interesting, I think the normal plain VF-1S Strike version lacks this little sucker!

Neat build! Btw, did the kit come with the pilot or was it your own sculpt/sourced elsewhere? I have the normal VF-1S Strike version, as opposed to the VF-1X Digital kit (same just without the launch base) and I think mine does not come with the pilot.

_{Latest updates!}

_{Finished placing all the parts on sprues and ready to make the new silicone mold this coming weekend, once done I should be ready to slowly pull kits out and commence on the payment! Do not want to accept payment as of yet as you never know with any possible delays, have to juggle time work/family/casting etc.}

Hi Shane and welcome to MW!

Cannot hep you much on the painting side (no time) but do have some of the kits you are after.

I am currently making a new mold of my 1/72 VF-4 resin model kit, which you might be interested in, more details can be found in the "model section".

The Zentraedi command ship, there is either only the Arii made 1/20000 model kit or a larger scale resin kit (forgot the maker and scale).

The Macross SDF-1, I presume the one you are talking about comes in many flavours, ranging from tiny 1/20000 model kits to 1/8000, 1/5000 to the 1/3000 Yellow Submarine resin kits and last but not least, the super huge and expensive 1/2000 Yamato made variable version. You should have no trouble locating some of these either here through other members or on-line auction houses, Evilbay to name a few!

Last on the list, the Alpha set, again I assume the Macross Plus valks, I think WAVE never made these in 1/72 scale but I do have the WAVE made 1/100 YF-19 & YF-21 Fast Packs version battroid resin model kits.

Let me know!

Up for grab, a BanDai Macross Frontier VF-25S renewal version together with the Tamashi Nation web-exclusive Super Parts, asking US$500 shipped!

The VF-25S valk is brand new, only opened to inspected it as I ordered it directly from Japan. The Super Parts are new, still sealed in the outer brown shipping box.

Worldwide shipping will be by air parcel with on-line tracking, items carefully bubble wrapped and placed in a post office approved shipping box. Preferred payment method is PayPal's "personal gift"option, via theri normal route, buyer pays the additional 4.5% fees.
