  1. Leks custom work is pretty cool. Pity the 1/48 DX tampo work sacrificed in the process. Bandai is the king of tampo especially when it comes to the DX line.
  2. vf-0b or vf-0c Arcadia.....it’s a no brainer and you don’t even need to do mold changes. Just swap canopies around.
  3. Not to say that anything unwarranted would happen, but something to thk abt if there was a choice between amazon and online toy retailers.
  4. Been a while since I got something from N-Y so I can’t remember exactly. Maybe it wasn’t called ferry, or perhaps they dropped that option. i had a book delivered by amazon before and the package was torn at the corner with water marks! Luckily no dampness got onto the pages.

    Exactly. Fext armor was the reason I got my CF 1A.
  6. Amazon can be quick and reasonably cheaper. However just be aware risks of damaged boxes as amazon sellers do not pack as well as the ami, hlj, cdj, n-y, ae retailers. The few instances i had from amazon had torn corners (and in one instance a gaping hole in the corner!) and flattened tops. Minimal to no damage on the box inside, however i shudder to think it something else heavier would be piled on top.

    Macross figures

    nice juxtapose!
  8. as per what others said, but with one caveat. If you choose the slow shipping, it can be the cheapest overall price. Think they also have ferry, really slow with no tracking, but better to have tracking number at very least.
  9. interesting question....black weathered would only mean white airbrushing as the only color that would stand out..so a black and white bird..hmmm...
  10. ...you cant, you cant be fooled again! btw what colors are you expecting? From even the promo pics on arcadia's online store, its most likely going to be the same deep blue color but this time panel lined and weathered.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Nice pics! Arad definitely wears the armor well even tho the missile covers are orange..
  12. Seems the new Arcadia bird is bigger and longer. Ahem. Referring to outer wings.
  13. hmm at $475 approximates to 50k yen for a used, it would be better going for a brand new PF version at 45k yen. You never know tho.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    yea thats a nice find. If only i didnt have vf-31 walkure fatigue... But that doesnt apply to 31A valks which i am still waiting for 02 and 01 units, bandai!!! And not to mention supers for the 31A!!!!
  15. All this price discussion got me checking the interwebs... I wonder how far this https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/d384426333 would go, seeing that a new PF version is 45k... The bidding current price is back at the original nonPF retail prices at the moment...
  16. Ah if you are referring to new and unopened, that's a different range. MISB discussions can be open ended, so wont get into that too much. But just to say am not too particular abt used, as the japanese do take care of their belongings. With some dilligence browsing the auction sites, used stuff are as good as new.
  17. direct from the land of the rising sun, japan.
  18. Not sure, but you can get a non PF 0D at approx 48k yen sans shipping from JP.
  19. Keep an eye out for sentinel’s upcoming legioss shown on prior page. Positive feedback from samples shown so far. no corresponding tread announced tho. Am on the fence abt it, only due to the price point, as other merchandise vying for attention..
  20. Whoah bravo arcadia bravo....panel lined and weathered ftw! Really is to good to be true until its true! that blue...hmm...still looks on the blue side but with the weathering is lighter.. unless it really turns out to be navy grey blue in the end more pics in the link...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    what a name for a shipping store...grand chaos...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yup i agree ozma's armor is da boss. Very complementary design aesthetics to bring bulk to a sleek VF-25 valkyrie.
  23. Maybe i can relate to the landing gear doors on tightness (or more like need to slide out before swinging), but wriggle it and apply focused pressure. They pop open, no biggie.... Other than that, no, i don't encounter any issues on the yf-30. Or not anything that would stop me from getting the 30.. I think there were discussions before, the yf-30 was a missing link/bridge between the frontier 29 and delta 31 series of valks.... The container pod made its appearance in the 30, and then evolved to what is the 31A and the walkure valks... That's reason enough to get the 30 as the representation for the evolution of the macross valks... of course, let your wallet decide too...
