    Hey darthmayhugh, You're not alone! many of us feel your pain.. I myself only just restarted my collection back in 2012 and even by then many Valkyrie, the VF-1 in particular were already becoming hard to find and when I did find something I wanted or needed it was often frighteningly expensive! But I persisted with it and managed to grow my collection to a now nearly 50 strong Valks! Not to mention the half dozen or so which are currently on pre-order and due later this year.. Its been a tough and extremely expensive road and I am still missing a few critically important variants which im hoping Arcadia will re-release but im not gonna hold my breath too much on that.. Im still searching for the elusive M&M pair, a few other DYRL variants and a whole lotta super & strike parts which I so stupidly put off wanting to get until now and paying the price for doing so.. As McFly already mentioned.. Jungle and Mandarake are your two best bets to begin with but you gotta check on those sites fairly regularly as the odd goodie does pop up every now and then! But you gotta be quick as there are plenty of smokin guns out there looking for the very same things as you! The MWF sale thread is another good place to keep an eye out too. Unfortunately like myself and many others you have come into the game a little too late as the Yamato Valks are out of production and long sold out. There are a few Arcadia re-issues but they too are still a very limited range and most though still nice are not so desirable or sort after.. I'd say Arcadia was purely testing the waters with those few.. You may be able to find an open VF-0D pre-order still available and I know you can still pre-order the VF-1J GBP set so they are worth a look at! But don't let it get to you so much.. this is collecting and this is Macross!

    yeah I've had a few I bought from Manda which said open and used but when it arrived it was sealed and unused / mint! Most only ever had very minor box scuff damages..

    1 year on and you have yourself a fine little collection! Very nice! and im sure you'd agree its been a considerable investment to get this far!

    Nice grab Brouken! well done! The VF-19F/S are both very awesome Valks! The 19P has gotta my pick of the bunch but I still do love the Kai also!
  11. spanner

    I have an Elint Seaker but if I had the cash I'd happily spend $600 on a Super Ostrich! But only if I were to find out that Arcadia were never going to re-issue it.. still so angry at myself for letting my one go.. Pass on a 11C though.. im happy with the B model!
  13. spanner
    hey!!! yeah that's the way buddy!!
  14. spanner
    They did, as soon as the email came through I just went for it and lucky enough I got it!
  15. spanner
    I scored it! 26,000yen sucks yes but it was still cheaper with postage than CDJ total was.. still im happy I got a 3rd as this one will go to my son! He's happy too!
  16. spanner
    just put in for a 3rd with NY!

    some sites do have protection against cart jacking.. clearly Amiami does not.. makes buying anything from sites like that a very dog eat dog kinda situation. Not sure about CDJ as I was able to nab one from them pretty easy but with HLJ my web browser froze for a short while and I had to shut it down and reopen the page but I was still able to complete the checkout process!

    such a lovely bird!
  19. spanner
    for everyone else who sadly missed out im sure they'll be another chance when released to catch one! or if keep watching the websites more will pop up from cancellations and more stock..
