    Haha, if you mean by scalper, the place that will have one of the lowest prices and a website that doesn’t crash, yep!

    It never works, even if you log in it will make you log in again when you try to check out.

    It’s the God Phoenix II from the 2nd season of Gatchaman. Also known as Battle of the Planets or G-Force. One of my favorite anime series of all time. Macross would be 2nd to Gatchaman.

    Thanks! It makes me extremely happy to have it!

    Oh Hell Yeah! This has been long awaited since having the original Poppy! And it does not disappoint! Credit goes where due to Evolution Toy for this. I know they don't get much praise but my only two products from them being the Gatchaman ships, I'm very satisfied! Mostly diecast and this one seems to have better fit and finish than the last one. Definitely recommended!

    Always good and level headed advice from you! I would imagine any cc company to honor a chargeback as long as you tell them the expected delivery date and at worst, they would start the 180 days at that point and not the actual charge date. But ymmv so definitely good to check. If a cc company ever did not honor my request, I would drop them faster than an impatient Macross collector badmouthing NY. there are plenty of CC companies waiting in line for my business. Always!

    Oh Hell Yeah! This has been long awaited since having the original Poppy! On another note, seems like AJ has been using stronger boxes compared to the old “tissue boxes” they used to use. Might be contributing to their new shipping costs.

    Haha, no problem and please share what you come up with!

    We shall see...we shall see. Easy and Bandai DX preorders don't seem to go together these days.

    No, they don’t care. They are the ones that recommended I use a credit card through PayPal to give myself added protection.
  12. Slave IV
    Or wait until you get confirmation and if you used a credit card through PayPal, not worry about any chargebacks until you need to, in which case your cc company can help you out regardless of PayPal’s limit.

    Cool! I look forward to seeing your customs! I remember in rare cases when something “broke” on my Chunkys, I could easily take it apart and fix it. Something not really possible with most other transforming toys back then (Transformers).

    Well, it seems to be sold out already so that’s not a great sign for tonight.

    I wouldn’t worry about it. I had a shipment go out before the lockdown via surface and those normally take 1-2 months. This time, it took 3 months. People really need to relax about these shipments and realize things could take a lot longer due to the current situation. If your package is returned to sender, it will be indicated on the tracking. It may take longer for them to even figure that out because there could be literally millions of packages to sort through. Unless you get confirmation that your package is lost, I feel like people constantly asking the shops and requesting refunds are putting an even bigger burden on everything and in a way, stealing from those shops if you force a chargeback because you might (most likely will) still get the item eventually.

    I don’t have “spontaneous disassembly” issues but I do purposely undo that latch every time I transform mine because I prefer to have all the articulation available. There are people who have glued the latch if they decided the extra articulation isn’t needed. Congrats and welcome to the craze! It’s really tough not to want more after you’ve experienced the superiority and pure greatness of a well designed and produced Valk. I highly recommend the Arcadia 0S and there is little chance the hip issue isn’t fixed on the upcoming PF 0D since it was fixed on both releases of the 0S. I rank the Arcadia VF-0s at the top along with the DX VF-1s as the best Valk toys ever made. Not including the original 1/55 Chunky Monkey which is the best toy ever made period.

    The latch can be attached or detached and folded up into the torso to allow waist swivel. It’s in the instructions how to do it or just watch the videos.

    I think NY has UPS but I never pay attention to any of the options near the top of the list. Always Ferry for me or regular air when it’s smaller items that are cheaper to ship that way. Lol! Seriously. I don’t even bother trying at HS anymore because all it does is reduce my chances at another shop while I’m wasting my time there.

    June 1, 4pm jst. All the usual players in the Japan online retail market. Nippon Yasan Amazon Japan Okiniland Anime Export amiami those are the only shops where F5 even has a chance of working. F5 should technically work at Hobby Search but getting a preorder there is still a mythical fantasy to me. HLJ and CDJ has some ridiculous way of listing that makes searching and F5ing useless unless you happen to know how to find their listings. That’s it for shops I would recommend. Your best bet is to hang out here where people will post links as soon as they can to help each other out.

    Whatever you need to tell yourself to get by.

    Macross isn't licenced for sale anywhere outside of Japan. Anything you can get these days is a privilege so I roll with that and it makes me very happy with no complaints. It is WAY easier, cheaper and faster to get Macross items with all these Japan based shops offering their services to the rest of the world compared to how I had to do it before.
  22. Slave IV
    My favorite stores will be offering Ferry as usual (NY) or DHL for cheap (AJ). Getting a preorder in anywhere else is too much of a pita for me to deal with anyways so hopefully I’ll be successful with one of those two.
  23. Slave IV
    NY has a no cancellation policy. You know that going in so no reason to expect it. Again, anything they offer is going above and beyond but not required. If you can’t feed yourself, don’t tie your money up on luxury items. No shop has any responsibility for an individual’s spending habits. If I buy something from an individual, that’s all based on the individual deal that is made so it depends. When I preorder items, I take that as I’m reserving something that will be available sometime in the future. I don’t pay much attention to when as long as I know I will get it when I get it. NY always delivers whatever I order so I’m all good.

    Nice shots! Yeah, the reissues in the Black Series look great! Along with all the new releases. I have a Love/Hate relationship with Hasbro//Disney but they are taking a lot of my money with this Marvel/Star Wars stuff.

    Nice, I saw a Jolly Rogers inspired one at the manufacturer website. Insane how much they want retail and how much less the ebay seller had them for. Hmmm...oh well.
