My HLJ -31 paid for itself through PayPal via a billing agreement. Shipping notice received.

Seconding a request for someone to do this - not sure I'd get a good result because 1) Google Translate and 2) I have no other tweets.

The product photos have all the markings they'd need in order to re-use them. Not that that's different from a Yamato release... EDIT: There is a pretty good argument against there ever being a Premium Finish Version, though. Yamato and Arcadia have continuously re-relased the Hikaru and Roy VF-1S toys with different gimmicks - sometimes with stands, sometimes with flashlights, sometimes just for fun. Few of these gimmicks have trickled down into the regular, non Hikaru/Roy VF-1S releases. They may not think there's a market for it.

Went looking for Milia, found Messer super parts. Don't think anyone posted this link yet: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/20754-macross-delta-super-parts-set-for-dx-chogokin-vf-31f-siegfried-messer-ihlefeld-custom-limited-edition.html

How to destroy the M&M secondary market: Announce a M&M re-release with something really minor that's better than the originals. Option parts would be enough. Open a very small number of pre-orders. Pre-order madness has finally come to Arcadia. This will shock people who thought that the pre-order window would be long or that there would be plenty available at release. Every week, trickle a bunch of pre-order slots in, enough so that scalpers, the people who missed out on the pre-order, and the fence sitters you've spurred to action have all picked up pre-orders. On release ensure an ample supply of units. Put the item on sale after an unreasonably short amount of time. Yamato prices or lower. Two months after release, announce a premium finish version. Rinse and repeat the pre-order tactics. Two months after the premium finish version has been released, announce a special limited premium collectible version with some extra rainbow canopies you found in a box somewhere and Tenjin box art.

Anyone want to do a straight trade of the Premium Roy 1S Super/Strike pack for my Premium Hikaru 1S Super/Strike pack? I'd prefer a black skull emblem to the red. Can't hurt to ask...
-
Not expensive enough to be a premium finish version If one was coming, shouldn't we know by now?
-
Wait, did I read that Forbes review right? No option parts?
-
So still no confirmation on premium finish ver. offering?
-
The wings on these releases look nothing like this screenshot and do not have a kite logo on the underside. Preorder cancelled!
-
I'm sorely tempted to get these. I have the Yamato versions, but I purchased them second-hand without boxes. My Miriya has a paint chip on the leg - not somewhere that's rubbed by transformation either. If these are the premium finish ver, you may see mine on the FS/T thread soon. Along with my VF-1S Hikaru; I have the premium finish of that coming too.
-
That's the last straw! Preorder cancelled! /s
-
Savage. And mostly true...
-
Wow, still there 4 hours later.
-
Like how whoever is behind these knockoffs has been paying attention. Straight to the M&M knockoffs. I'll sit this out, as I already have a second-hand set, sans boxes, from Yamato. There is a decent chance I'd double-dip if the real thing ever came from Arcadia, though.
-
Are the lil' Drakens supposed to be so much lighter in color than the plane?
-
Yeah, only those morons at Harmony Gold would do something like that, and only those Robotech-loving "window-lickers" would want a toy that did that.
-
Sorry if this isn't news - just got an e-mail from N-Y saying that Milia was bumped up to March 25th.
-
Their tweet was pretty clear. "New Macross." Clearly, they got JJ Abrams to reboot the SDF-1.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
MikeRoz replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
It's not like not watching it will be an option. And Delta brought good music, decent mechanical designs. Let's see what the future holds. -
Missile set is still available at N-Y: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/19163-hi-metal-r-super-valkyrie-missile-effect-set-limited-edition.html

I really like the look of Hikaru's Valkyrie with the black skull emblem, not the red, so I wish this were a thing on this release.
-
Was about to recommend deployment of panic button, but if you zoom in really, really close on the wing you can see what must be the NO STEP markings (or some oddly regularly placed dirt).
-
The ending.

Placed my pre-order for the Premium Edition. I have a VF-1S Hikaru and a separate FAST pack set, but I think I will like the white better than the grey. I will probably list my current VF-1S for sale here after getting this one. Risky pre-order of the year. After my pre-orders for Mass Effect 3 and the No Man's Sky collector's editions, you think I'd have learned... Then again, my VF-4 pre-order went swimmingly! Quick question, while I was placing my N-Y pre-order, I first clicked 'Pay now', but then changed my mind on the PayPal login screen. This resulted in my order being cancelled. I have placed a new one. Am I getting banned? If I get banned, will I still get my paid HMR Millia pre-order?
