To be fair...Mandarake has lower prices (sometimes) than auction because they screw individual sellers when they bring their stuff to sell....think pawn shop....the pawn shop is not going to pay you true market value (yes, auction value) for your items because they need to turn a profit on the stuff you are selling to them.....it is what it is....Auction sites are true market value...Yahoo Japan for Japan.....Ebay for the USA and the rest of the world (basically..Yahoo Japan price plus proxy fees and shipping...plus a bit of profit on top of that...sometimes high...sometimes low)..... Here is a list of what Mandarake pays for the MACROSS stuff they sell on their site: http://mandarake.co.jp/information/buy/nkn/toy/series-yamato_macross.html http://mandarake.co.jp/information/buy/nkn/toy/gokin-eva-macross.html This is the link to the general page containing what they pay for just about everything else: http://mandarake.co.jp/information/buy/index.html And keep in mind...the prices are for MINT items...they will deduct for any slightest damage or missing parts, open, displayed...etc.....generally..it looks like they try to get at least 50% return on their purchases.... For example, what they pay for a mint Yamato SDF-1: Complete Transformation SDF-1 Macross finished product version 40,000 yen What they sold a MINT SDF-1: 80,000 JPY http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/ja/item_s-602005.html

Easily solvable by selling "excess" VF's no?

That's because it wasn't the VF-2SS Sanrio Hello Kitty Type!!!!!

Yamato 1/48 Macross Chronicle exclusive VF-1A Kakizaki TV: http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b145512226 If anyone is interested.....there is another 1/48 "holy grail" on YJ Auctions....the Yamato 1/48 Macross Chronicle exclusive Weathered VF-1S Hikaru with weathered Strike Armor..... http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g127638179 Last one sold for 55000 JPY in April as a BIN...current one is a straight auction so it may go for less.... I have one already so I won't outbid you!!!
-
Do you know in which issue of the "old" Macross Chronicle was the VF-0A battroid used on the cover? Or was it one of the fold-out illustrations inside one of the issues?

10 per binder.....if referring to "revised" edition...you need 8.... ....."obsolete and unworthy of the paper and ink its printed on" edition requires a mere 5 binders... I take the "no binder" option....I'm being swindled and pimped as it is without the binders.....
-
I wish some enterprising 3D artiste would release a "The Many Helmets of Macross" series in 1/4 scale.....
-
LOL...fair enough.....as long as you tell me when the "HLJ clearance sale" for it starts....not 3 days after Arcadia announces its "re-organization" in January 2015 and the panic sales begin!!!!
-
Well....Yamato/Arcadia seems to not like re-issuing "combo" sets.....but a re-issue of a VF-4G with OPTION parts and LED lighting and a coupon for FREE FB2012 version mail-in is surely right around the corner!!!
-
Two new covers? VF-27 with super packs...timely!

Also reminds me of the 1/20000 SDF-1 cruiser mode kit that comes with the ARII Zentradi capital ship kits....the Prometheus and Daedelus "arms" swing out on those mini SDF-1 kits too....

Another vintage IMAI promo poster.....
-
So many small parts involved....a production line assembly video of a VF being built at the factory must be pretty interesting to watch from start to finish....wonder if Yamato/Arcadia has one of those lying around....
-
ouch!
-
...or just copy the "gimmicks" from the 1/48....done! Everyone is happy!.......maybe.....
