I cancelled my pre-order with Rakuten and pre-ordered one from Mandarake instead for JPY 13,000 and I also have a pre-order with CD Japan for JPY 14,000 but I really don't want two of them.
The SV-51 in the Macross universe is supposed to be an early version of veritech type mecha and the VF-27 is a late design so why does their feet look so similar?
Thanks and yeah I have checked HobbyLink Japan, Angolz, AmiAmi, Hobby Search, Anime Expo and Nin-Nin Game.
I made my pre-order with a store thats connected to Rakuten.
