    Well, got called in for OT at work, looks like I will soon be the owner of a Yamato VF-17S and super packs!

    I concur with all of this. I have just begun to sand and file my pieces.

    I'm still hemming and hawing over ordering a VF17S and armor from hkcollectibles. Hopefully they will still be available after Christmas.

    It was just to the right of what I assume is the main entrance to Nakano Broadway. Just right of the entrance from the picture below. When I got out of the JR Nakano station and walked up the street/alley that leads up to Nakano Broadway. It was more a bunch of display cases along the wall on the right side with a cash register and a cute girl in maid cosplay running the stand. Sorry, I didn't think to take pictures of her at the time. I didn't see the display until me and my buddy were on our way out and the vintage 1/55 Super O caught my eye.

    I don't think they put alot of the stuff they have in the stores online, well macross stuff anyway. The Akihabara store had just as many Bandai Renewals as well as Version 1.0 valks as well as Yamato 1/60s, including a VF-4G for about $450. I was tempted the pick up both, but I didn't want loose valks.

    I was just up in Japan and the Mandarake in Akihabara and the one in Nakano Broadway and the price of 1/48 Yamatos is pretty high. Check my post in the following link You can see a 1/48 VF1J for about $310. Sorry about the other pictures, you can't make out the price on the other 1/48s, but they were each at least over $200 for sure. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40095&p=1089986

    This is what I picked up in Tokyo Thanksgiving weekend. Looking back, I should have picked up some more stuff! Bandai VF-25A Macross Poster (Looks like it was a UFO Catcher Prize, Hikaru, Alto, and Basara in/on a VF-1S) MG NU Gundam GFT Version HG Bearguy 3 Char's Customize Red Potato Chips Couple SD Gundam Capsule Figures to the right Masterpiece Bluestreak The other photos were from Nakano Broadway, there was a Mandarake Macross display/store just right of the entrance, with DYRL being shown. Mandarake Akihabara had mostly new stuff, Yamato and Bandai, none of the older 1/55s and such. All in all it was a bit of a challenge trying to find Macross valks, Macross Frontier figures were easily found though.

    If I can find one around that price, I might consider it. Can anyone recommend a good proxy bid site for yahoo Japan auction, rakuten, etc? Pm me please so we can keep this thread on topic.

    I missed out on the YF-29 in all forms, not missing this one, waiting for that preorder!

    Thanks for the reply Falcon18, I've been out of the Macross Toy game for a couple years now. Yeah, the Mandarake store in Akihabara and Nakano Broadway had a decent selection of valks. Nakano Broadway had a nice Macross display/storefront just right of the entrance, plus they had DYRL playing on a TV above the display!

    Also ordered a Sazabi ver. Ka. Just got back from Tokyo, picked up some goodies, pics coming soon. I was very tempted to pick up the Titanium finish Nu Gundam, but I already picked up the GFT variant Nu Gundam at Odaiba the day before.
  12. Smiley424
    Can I fit any of the armor parts on a VF-25A CF or are they specifically made for each valk. Thinking about picking up Micheal's armor pack on NY for my new CF.
  13. Smiley424
    I just got back from Tokyo and picked up a CF VF-25A. There were some Lucas available as well as armor packs. Looking back I probably should've picked one up. Finding Sheryle and Ranka figures were prety easy, the valks took more effort. Pics forthcoming. Bandai, where's my Ozma and Alto renewal re-release?!?!?

    What a coincidence, my first gundam was an RG Zeta Gundam. Obviously I am very new to gunpla. I have decided while the RGs are beautifully detailed for the size, the small pieces can be a pain. I have decided to go all MG from then on. Areaseven, I think you will like the RG Zeta and will be able to appreciate the advances it offers over your HG Zeta. I really hope the MG Titanium Nu Gundam and MG Sazabi Ver. ka drop Dec 1st as that is the last day I am in Japan,but I doubt it, "Shakes fist in the air!".

    Chavakaiser, if this falls through, would you consider accepting a commission for a helmet?
  16. Smiley424
    VF1a-fan, how are the Wonder Woman and Batman figures? Might pick them up if I see them in Japan. I like the classic 70s Batman color variant of the Batman figure. I just received my Green Lantern figure, he looks way too anime pretty boy for my taste, might have to stick with the masked male figures, Superman gives me the same vibe.

    I just received a response to my email inquiry to the masei_helmet@hotmail.com. This is the email: we will have it ready soon in few months.. I save your email. when ready, I email you about it. US$239 including shipping fee worldwide now. Luusama So we shall see how this pans out, really hope this works out and we all get helmets. I think I will link this thread so they can see the interest from Macross fans.

    So far I have emailed twice to sales@maseihelmets.com, once through "Contact Us" form on maseihelmets.com website, and I just emailed today to masei_helmet@hotmail.com. So far no response to any of my inquiries.

    http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/features/2013/sr-72.html There seemed to be a lull in my opinion on advances in aviation and then lockheed-martin announces this. I want to see this trickle down to sub-orbital commercial flights one day.

    Just saw this and immediately emailed Masei to order a helmet. This will work for riding and Macross cosplay I am currently planning for next year (SDCC or Otakon Baltimore). I really hope I am able to get in on this. I don't know if it is good or bad that every time I check back in on the MW forum, I end up spending money!

    So is December 2013 still the estimated release on this? Going to Tokyo Nov 28 - Dec 2 and I would like to see this guy up close and personal before buying.

    I've just sent money for two UN Spacy Logos. I would be interested in SMS logo as well as the base pass sticker as well.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC5-MoDUuRg PetroliciousCo in one of my favorite channels on youtube and this video is one that started it for me. I love the man's passion for his vehicle and his garage is AMAZING!

    I had just started browsing ebay and the forum for Yamato YF/VF-19s, but now I will wait for this sucker to drop. I love/hate how when come back to the MW forums every couple months and find myself ordering/pre-ordering stuff.
  25. Smiley424
    Yeah, I went through the intro animation and intro screen a couple times before I remembered that little tip from a friend of mine.
