Since I preordered the Super VF-27 from HLJ I just added the three GN-U Macross Plus toys to the order. Now I have something to keep my fingers busy buying frenzy so far: 1/60 VF-19S 1/60 VF-17S GN-U YF-19 GN-U YF-21 GN-u VF-11B

Bad luck I guess but NY has still some units available. So is this cannon fodder a shelf warmer or not?
-
Noooooo they should release the Renewal Tornado Parts for the G first!
-
They should do the VF-1J Miria Custom from Macross 7. Or at least include some black stickers to mod the wings if they reissue the SDF one.

I think NY will give you at least a refund so you could a new unit from amiami. I think you have to pay shipping it back to Japan. So you can estimate what the expanses are to get a new one. Maybe NY sends you a replacement unit since they are still available but shipping it back will be at your own expense and that can be very pricey if you choose the wrong service from what I heard here on the board. Hope NY acts fast so that you can secure another one while they are still available if you want this toy. Good luck.

Poor GN-U Dous Yamato is no longer and they still are available at a high discount at HLJ. I wonder if I should buy those. On the one hand I have no room for them but then for 6 bucks I could take them to my work place so I have something there to do.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Great job as always MacrossJunkie! I envy you. Good luck on the NY one. -
Seems like we have reached a price ceiling for this toy.

You could check out jenius' awesome page about Macross toys. http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=6244 Or check Macross Worlds own toy achive http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/takatoku.htm

It would be preferable if all collector toys are purely assembled with detachable connections like screws or to an extend pins because then you as the owner can disassemble the toy for repair/maintenance easily. Unfortunately those connections require a certain material thickness like the screw thread to be give a save connection or a certain size so it can be assemble with human hands (pin or screw head diameter). Also small details like lenses or transparent parts need to be glued because a screw or a clip is not viable. Plus it's cheaper to glue something because metal for screws. pins and tools is expensive. So for some parts gluing is the only option. I don't know a complex toy that doesn't require gluing when assembled in a factory.

It would be a great help if you could actually buy the launch arm stands for MSRP. But since Yamato is no longer all hope is lost. Maybe Arcadia picks the designs up if they start with their Valkyrie production once again. The stand design does not have to be fancy for my tastes. For example I really like the Bandai stands for the Renewals. They are easy modifiable, do a good job holding the Valkyrie and you don't need to fiddle with your toy to attach them. As a plus they have a nicely designed and painted base. The only thing that would be extra nice is a label that describe what is displayed on the stand.

Thank god Macross is not Transformers. *shutter*
-
The No Step markings on the underside of the wing are there because the are present on the cg-model. For reference see the Macross Mecha Manual® (http://www.macross2.net/m3/m3.html) Regarding the Super Parts for the VF-171CF (and I know it's in vain) I'm still hoping that we get the correct color from The Wings of Goodbye.
-
But what's with that priest collar of the 1/60 VF-1s? *adds fuel to the fire*
-
I'm not sure about that. At my work there is a SAP tool that works correctly only when accessed through the Internet Explorer. However that has nothing to do with the VF-27.
-
I noticed that the right leg on my CF makes this nasty snap while rotating it back for Fighter-Mode. It's the same thing as Veef showed in his review of the VF-171EX Alto Custom. Is this something to worry about? Can I take the leg apart and fix something? Or am I doing something wrong while transforming? The other leg seems fine though.
-
Hm what's up with that second confirmation email? I got one order confirmation and in my HLC account it shows up to be processed to my private warehouse.
-
I got one also. It's suspicious that so many are able to order one. Should I secure my order with another order from NY..... hm decisions decisions.
-
That is true but I think the Super VF-27 blends in better with the Renewals because the feet have the same metallic finish. And I love the Lucifer in Battroid-Mode especially with the Super Parts on the back. They give the VF-27 a spiky look just like the Devil. The head sculpt as well as the color (Valkyrie and add-on parts) are also striking. It's also different enough from the VF-25 so it brings sum much needed variety to the Frontier shelf. That is my personal opinion though.
-
Waiting for NY. After they delivered me my VF-171CF I'm quite pleased by their shop. Hope the first mark-up is not to steep.
-
For me the server was down then the item was sold out and then the server went down again.

Those damn DDoS attacks!

It's the calm before the storm.
-
I'm thinking since the VF-171CF and the YF-29 30th Anniversary reissue where and are still available maybe Bandai really ramped up their production runs. I'm hoping for the same on the Super VF-27 and people stop with this preorder madness. Uh only 10 Minutes left *F5, F5, F5,....*
-
Oh that is nice I would totally buy this instead of the Lucifer.
