I've been lucky with Amazon JP items so far. All the items have arrived in good condition. Although there was one whose flaps on one side of shipping box have split open, exposing the contents inside, the toy box itself was safe. Even if Amazon JP have the worst shipping box from any JP retailers, I think it is still the best of any Amazon stores from other parts of world. For eg, Amazon US likes to shove stuff into envelopes only, and if you are lucky, you get a padded envelope. Naturally, the toy boxes arrive with significant wear & crush damage, and no amount of pre-alerting customer service on proper packing before shipping makes any difference.

I think I got too greedy getting duplicates. Sometimes its just to overcompensate for the PO madness (yes scored another one!!), sometimes its over-ambition in wanting to display them in different modes, sometimes its just getting that plastic crack high lol.. but in reality, they have just been sitting in storage forever. Can't wait to see the moducases set up!

Nice shots. The first pic really captures the subtle differences in white across the 3 VF-1J releases. Thanks! -
Been waiting for Amazon JP listing, as they have always offered the best price for the ride armors. Gotta remember to always take 10% off the listed price for domestic tax, though I understand they add it back for certain areas Stateside? But even with 10% off, this time HLJ appears to be the cheapest. PO window appear to remain open for a long time, till August.

I liked how the fabric looked on the recently released Rick, but here it looks just terrible. Perhaps its the color.. I actually PO-ed with KC for 2 units, so I can display one with armor and one without. Now am considering cancelling one.
-
The price though . The Alpha Omega Sheryl Nome Gorgeous ver. now look like bargain in comparison. But good for anyone getting this.

Trying to wean off the Macross Multiple Valk Syndrome.

Liking the looks of these Ghosts more now, even if won’t be bringing myself to mount it on the 31AX. Tempted to order another set haha..
-
Sorry to hear of that experience @Anasazi37. Really blows to receive packages like that, showing obvious mishandling by the courier.
-
MSRP Yen 23,000 before tax; a 15% increase from previous ride-armors. The pics do not show, and listings doesn't mention a separate helmetless head. Here's a previously unreleased pic of bike & drone from the PO pages.. where are the exhaust pipes again? Dang I'm so fixated on that
-
So many whites lol.. all we need now is a version of white that’s pinkish like Arcadia Still, it’s not only if the white of the standalone HMR 1J will match the rest of upcoming Vermillion team, but the cockpit tints greatly differ as well. The standalone 1J has a very blue cockpit tint, as opposed to grey/black, so it will stick out like a sore thumb if intend to display the whole team in Fighter together.

-
I haven’t tried them yet. But they appear to be very transparent throughout the whole order process, & even informs you on what would normally be behind-the-scenes processes between vendor & manufacturer.
-
Someone just posted links in the PO tread, to huge discounts for the Arcadia VF-1 Milia & Max PFs. Such great value in the backdrop of this new HMR VF-1 pricing lol..
-
The actual P-Bandai purchase page is geofenced to JP IPs only. You have to use a proxy to buy, or selected web stores that carry it at a mark-up like Anime Export or Nin-Nin.
-
Ah good thing it's not a bundle release forcing Hikaru 1J in.. It's as good as can be hoped for the releases to be separate. One slight peeve is that these new 'revival' HMR VF-1 could do with further forward angle on their legs / feet in Gerwalk, just like the DX or even Arcadia's 1/60 to allow for more aggressive A-stance.
-
Hmm all 3 to be revealed together? High chance it will be a 3-pack set.. Although, do I need yet another Hikaru 1J? Where’s the Tomahawk + Phalanx dual pack set, Bandai?
-
Thanks for the info @no3Ljm. I somehow missed that bit in that tread..
-
Need a bigger diorama space..
-
At first I thought that Fire Bomber crate at the back is some new packaging for the valk, but the tweet specifically mentions it’s made by another party. I wonder if it’s made by Groove Garage & if it’s worth getting one..

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
MKT replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Yeah TruForce really wasted opportunity to have not gone with other armors. A Zero would be great. They really have a winner with this Mega Man X. The engineering is pretty awesome, lots of articulation with old-school gokin weight in hand. On one hand I’m a bit bummed to have only discovered this relatively recently, thereby missing out on the 3 other gorgeous limited repaints, but on other hand I’m thankful to have at least the X without paying aftermarket premium. I’m happy if they could somehow release those limited repaints again, let alone other armors. -

Got the recent re-issue of TruForce Megaman. This thing is pretty amazing, and well worth the price especially when every other toy has rocketed upwards in price recently.. Someday hope to pick up the Riobot Megaman in Falcon armor to match it.
-
Ok I see what you mean now on the drone. Naturally then I'm wondering where are the exhausts..
-
Why is there a transparent cowling piece on the back covering the exhaust? If that is an exhaust outlet..
