  1. This is the only reason I have any doubt but we also know Bandai loves releasing Hikarus. That last part is probably very true. I don’t think the Arad comparison works as well since the Armor was out shortly after the Valk, just like the Super Parts releases. And also, Arad isn’t Hikaru.
  2. Sounds like we have the same opinion of his 1J. There are too many hints and reasons for there not to be a reissue of some sort. Bandai does some strange stuff but again, I’m betting they won’t pass the chance to sell that Valk a second and third or more time.
  3. I think you’re in good shape. I ended up with just 1 DX 1J because I’m banking on reissues of some sort. To me, there is just no way they don’t reissue it. If not, I don’t mind either because Hikaru’s 1J is actually one of my least favorite decos even though it is very iconic. I’d be perfectly happy putting the GBP on any other VF-1.
  4. Is there a picture of the deco for the F-15?
  5. I think it is highly likely they have multiple accounts through whatever means they could come up with. It's an easy way to explain how they have stock of items most other shops run out of and especially the TWE items that they seem to get more than anyone else has access to. Whatever the case, I'm always willing to wait especially if I'm paying the lowest price. I oredered mulitple VF-4s the moment they went up and mine shipped a while ago but I'm still waiting for the slow boat.
  6. That’s not showing off, it would be a travesty if you didn’t share. Beautiful pick up. Congrats!
  7. I'm just going to sit back and get my 0D and everything else I ordered from NY to arrive when it does. I've been getting packages from them pretty regularly for years. Just got a few things from them about a week ago. 0 worries.
  8. Thanks for sharing this!
  9. Mandarake is usually fantastic and their standards are generally higher than one would expect or even have for themselves. I do usually try to take closer looks artt he pictures they provide if they specifically call something out. All the many items I've bought from them came in basically new condition even if they called it used. I haven't seen that 22B yet. Time to keep an eye out for it! Congrats again! A must have!

    Wow, some totally reasonable people regarding NY! I ordered preorder night and mine were sent out before most other shops received their stock. All kinda confusing and inconsistent but that’s why I don’t ever worry about it. It’s enjoy my toys whenever they show up if I can even get to them by that time.

    NY was one of the first shops to send out the VF-4. Did the people who didn’t get theirs sent yet order early or late?
  12. Thanks @DYRL VF-1S! I think I'm good now though. Just not in a hurry to do anything especially since the 2nd batch SSP sets will be delayed. I'm not worried about when I get my stuff, as long as I get it.
  13. Haha, keep your eye out for pictures to come...some day. LOL. The 1S and DX 31A are the two main items I missed out on from NY. 1S, I was too slow, 31A, I was way too slow/confident it would stay open for order longer.
  14. I'll buy two from NY and not worry about it again until it shows up on my lawn. Easiest and cheapest option with nothing to worry about for me.
  15. Anime Export and that’s pretty much it that I would trust. The best way to get TWE if you don’t want to use either NY or AE is to use a proxy service like FromJapan to buy directly from Bandai.
  16. No problem! I went through the worst time of my life losing my girlfriend, grandma and mom all within a couple years...three of the most important women to me. I completely quit collecting at that time and that's how I missed a lot of Macross and other things I would have today but spending that time with my Grandma and Mom was priceless. You can always get back into collecting and go full retard on it later.
  17. Best of luck to you and your family. I lost my mother to cancer and the best thing about it was the time I spent with her and taking care of her before she passed.
  18. Wow! Beautiful setup and collection!
