I know what you mean. Despite how much I liked it I only ended buying one because lol
-
The Maruyama is the most expensive since it's a gift bundle with super parts and was a web exclusive so no cushy wholesale prices for retailers. I still found one for 20,000 in Mandarake right after they were released, however (retail is 24800) The 171 Exes all are solid with no exploding parts so they are all safe to buy. The CF's are hit and miss hehe. Whenever I feel like buying another I have to factor in the cost of buying shoulders off shapeways ($8-15 per pair depending on quality) I absolutely love the 171's and have a total of 18 VF 171's / 171 exes O_o Just wish they'd released the CF Ewacs version too :*(

Let's just hope the new regults are just a Tamashii webshop exclusive, or that they just release the conversion parts for the missiles for even cheaper since there are still a crapton of regults floating around Japan's toy stores.

Man ever since I spent 150 bucks on 10 pairs of high res triangles at shapeways my VF-171 fleet has been totally fine....well..except for the two perma fighter-mode dudes with busted knees
-
Noop. Like 5% tops
-
They are already up for Preorder and the prices are in line with all the other 1/144 TOmytech stuff; around 25-35 USD a pop on average. I've seen other Tomytech stuff in Japan and it's very, very detailed. However, too pricey for me. It's basically just a snap-kit with a crapton of Tampo printing. Proportions are always a little miffed because parts need to be structurally sound in the tiny 1/144 scale.

They are all over the place. Check Yellow Submarine in the AKiba radio Building 6th floor (across street from Station with bigass yellow and red sign) or check Volks store which is on the main road and a minute or two from the station. They both had craptons of these things for sale. ALso a ton of HMR regults. Source: I just checked before I left Japan on 3/12

I already have too many vf-171's :0 don't make me buy more lol
-
There are stacks if regults all over akihabara ready to be sold for like 58 dollars usd. Wish i could buy them all but no space :*( Cheapest is volks, followed by yellow submarine

In japan for a week visiting the wife's parents. Found some tiny model shops around her hometown in Gunma and brought home a few gems Pretty much only interested in oop stuff this trip since i grabbed all the hase vf-25 stuff online.
-
Only volks has them cheap. Only other place i saw them was yodabashi camera but they were 7130 or so.... Make sure to flash the passport for nontax over 10000yen They also got like 20 vf-2sses.......and vf-4 reissues for 27000
-
Dude, the regults are so cheap in Akiba. 6120 yen a pop at volks (53 usd) guess bad guys not so popular? (I know regult army builders will cry at this)
-
Forget everything else. 1/20 VF-1 ........ drool....
-
Google translate is pants After reading it the twitter the complaints kinda irk me. He complains that it looks and feels cheap in construction and material. He also said it sorta squeaks when you move joints and parts loosen up a lot when you touch it....... HOpe it's not bandai VF-1 bad lol oh boy......
-
I'm going to pick one of these up when I'm in Japan in early March. Pretty sure it's going to look Much better after some light grey panel lines and a flat-coat.

Experten 1/72 VF-5000G Star Mirage transformation kit
Duymon replied to Jefuemon's topic in Model kits
It looks like the VF-5000G got pregnant or something in Battroid mode. -
Welp...time to start saving again
-
Super packs or bust ;p They break up the "red" of the wings and make the Alto 29 sexy
-
Gee.. if only they'd release the super packs again they could sell so much more.....

Duymon replied to Lupin The Third's topic in Toys
Th th th th th thrreadomancy~~~~~~~~~~~ Lupin has been banned like for over two years i think. Last I remember he sold off his entire Macross collection, started buying guns and then went nuts insulting board members until the ban hammer came thundering down -
Bandai Macross Δ Mecha Collection Small Scale Plastic Model Kits
Duymon replied to IXTL's topic in Model kits
I bet the vf-171 is more sturdy than the dx chogokin version -
NO.
-
This sounds crazy but even better than compressed air I use my airbrush compressor and an old crappy airbrush. Way higher PSI and there's no dust I've seen that can stick through that >;D
-
Lol i had a vf-171 display on top of my shelves. I got most of them dirt cheap due to all the qc issues
-
It sounds crazy but I would pay to have a display stand that could pose each of those VF-31's in that formation in the poster ..... though they'd have to be creative with Delta 4
