@Anubis20 nice pickup mate! Pity about the shonky shoulder joints.. good you could repair them though! I've made quite a few orders now through Jungle and its been pretty good and consistent actually. The only issue i had was an item marked sealed which it clearly wasn't but the Valk itself was mint. Dont think there has been any other issues. But i guess buying from any place that on sells 2nd hand items you always run the risk of something not being 100% or what you fully expect. I have had the odd annoyence buying things from Mandarake which are meant to be very fastidious with what they chose to sell so the potential for issues is not localized to any one particular seller.. Either way they are both pretty fantastic and most of us couldn't support our Macross collection without them!

Nice edit's Darrin! That's what i wanted to do originally but was too lazy.. Cant wait to get home and fit up more gun straps! =D

Awesome pic! kinda makes we wish i had a 2nd Ozma in armored parts to display in fighter mode!

Received my gun straps today and fitted a few up! They look fantastic and really add another dynamic to Battroid mode! Im kicking myself for not buying these sooner! A big thanks again to DarrinG for making these available again! Great work buddy! Hikaru lookin like a BOSS! Alaska Base guard in a rather casual pose with his gun pod slung over his shoulder! will slowly fit up some more during the week!

I've seen them for over $400! I do like them of course but not enough to pay the premiums they asking now.. occasionally you can stumble across a fairly priced example but you gotta be on the ball to catch it!

that Komillia figure is smokin hot!!! If she came as a completed figure i'd definitely buy one but im way too lazy and my model building skills suck ass so it ain't gonna happen.. hehe! didn't notice to begin with that this was an ancient old thread! I just followed the Facebook link.. wow its been laying dormant for over 9 years!

ahhh ok cool! thanks for that little bit of info!

here you go mate!

the blue does make a nice little highlight eh! I think the whole color combination gives it a real navy look!

Hehe! Awesome! Im sure completely unnecessary but still very cool!

whoa! those pics look amazing! Can't wait to have this little beauty in my hands!

Well hey if no box isn't an issue to you and the Valk itself is prefect then you're laughing! The 11c ask a premium these days and i haven't seen any under the $300 price point. $240 is great especially for a buyee auction including double shipping and fees! Nice catch mate!

@jvmacross +1

I have the grey goggle ver. and have cancelled one of the two re-issues I had planned on buying.. I'll still get one so I can display Hikaru in fighter and fit the GBP parts to another Valk. Early on i had considered getting the 1/100 just to mess about with or pass onto my son but he's not interested. I dont think they are particularly that high priced but they do look kinda odd in certain modes..

That armored figure looks sick!!! Whats it from?

So maybe pre orders will open as early as next month! Fingers crossed then eh!

This looks wicked Good!

Ordered one with NY. That'll do for me. So when is the "S" gonna open?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but it's up at Hobby Search now too. 31,320jpy.. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10325431

Gonna hold off buying one from Ami and wait for somewhere else open pre-orders..

Yeah knowing my luck.. and im sure it'll cost 3 to 4 times as much as the Valkyries will.. :/

Also from what i can tell from those photos it looks like they have balls'd up the gunpod stow mounts on the arms the very same way as they did with the Zero-D. So when the gunpod is fitted up it will block the tail hook from deploying properly.. Face slap to Arcadia.. :/

Color does look similar to the VF-4 eh. So what are peoples thoughts on this color compared to the original release? I rather like it actually!

That is more than i had expected them to release it at.. are there pre-orders open anywhere else other than Ami yet?

@joppewo looks lovely eh!
