    Personally I'm mainly using 3 websites at this point, other than for pre-order nights when it's wherever you can find one. CDJapan: For normal releases Amazon Japan: for anything I can find there sold by Amazon. The ¥1200 DHL shipping more than makes up for the lack of pre-order discount FromJapan: for anything I need to order via proxy

    Yup, it's a bit clearer on my list that the Unpaid order thing is just a generic warning, as it's at the bottom under my 6 orders. Once they actually secure an order on your behalf for the VF-0D it'll switch from Order Pending to Ordered - Awaiting Arrival.

    Nope, if you want a second you need to order a second. They do let you combine shipping and will hold items for up to 45 days once they arrive.

    Yup, they’ll email you with a payment request, once you pay that your order is in.

    Just put the webpage address into the search bar, it brings up the custom order page, then fill out the various fields. It’s pretty straightforwards.

    My only issue with mirror is that since it makes your displays look more full, if you’re really packing things in it starts looking cramped and overly busy.
  7. Sanity is Optional
    I ordered through FromJapan. Unfortunately they wanted the full amount upfront. I guess at least I'm insulated from even worse exchange rates.

    VF-0D page is up, looks like it's a pre-order deposit, and full price when released. So a web exclusive. Roughly $45 up-front. https://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=294 From the description, it looks like it will be weathered: The VF-0D is a multi-seat machine featuring canard and delta wings that appeared in the OVA "Macross Zero", the 20th anniversary of the "Macross Series". This VF-0D phoenix on board the hero will be released as "Premium Finish" version. 1) Image painting that faithfully reproduces the texture used in the mechanic settings of this work (such as fading expression of surface painting by ultraviolet rays) is applied. 2) The size of the marking was reviewed and adjusted according to the above texture, and more scaled marking was applied to various parts of the fuselage by tampo printing. 3) In addition, the panel line was inked and stains were applied to key areas. * Individual differences occur because painting is manual. Please note. ※ This product is a limited-order-made Arcadia Online limited product. ■ Material: ABS, POM, zinc alloy, etc. ■ Product size: Approx. 310 mm in total length when fighting ■ Package form: Closed box ■ Package size: 300 X 380 X 130 (mm) ■ Accessories: Pilot figures (Kudo Shin and Edgar) / gun pods / missile / spare Pitot tube / stand for attachment / Owner's manual ■ planning cooperation / design: Corporation tea Rex (Hiroyuki Motoki) ■ reservation acceptance September 2, starting from noon for ■ will be delivered only to skilled workers Because there are many manual painting processes that cannot be performed, the production process takes longer than normal products. Therefore, the reservation deadline will be divided into two. First deadline: September 17th noon * Orders received by the first deadline will be delivered within the year. Second deadline: September 30, 11:00 pm * The delivery date for orders received by the second deadline will be as early as possible, but production will be based on the total number of orders received in the second order. Since the period will change, we will contact you again after the second deadline.

    Btw, if anyone wants to buy one on HLJ, I've got a 10% off coupon about to expire that I haven't been able to use yet.

    That won't work on the plastics used for these parts. Superglue or wood glue would work better.

    You can pre-order with them, but only on things where pre-orders don't run out. HMR and Arcadia releases are usually fine. DX Chogokin and Metal Builds run out in seconds.

    It was ¥6,000 plus shipping. Quite a steal since it includes the chase figure as well.
  13. Sanity is Optional
    Managed to snag a full sealed set of CMs series 3 Macross figures from Mandarake. They finally showed up.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    Good luck, market price is around $600 for those.

    Some pictures of my Sylpheed+31 setups (Yes, I need a backdrop, and the photos are canted) Arad in Battroid Chuck in Fighter (w/ radome) 31A in fighter w/ Sylpheed cannon pod Group

    It's not just standing, it's actually fairly difficult to knock over (well, as far as transforming valkyries go).
  17. Sanity is Optional
    So, good news. I just transformed my Arad to battroid with the Sylpheed pack on, and it's actually quite stable. No sagging of note, actually fairly well balanced, and no trouble getting it standing upright. Can even rock it back and forth without knocking it over. Only real issue I had is the hip armor kept popping off on both sides, and I had to extend the knee so the armor sat properly with straight legs.

    Forgot to mention I'm there as well, so I saved like $5 on the $100 for shipping.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    It was about $191 each, and I ordered 3. Price would obviously have been higher if I was just getting one.

    For anyone who wants a different/faster supplier for the next time around: I picked up my FedEx shipment from FromJapan last Friday, and I can recommend them so long as you don't mind paying up-front.

    Simplest answer is vectoring the foot thrust slightly backwards, and using the rest of the thrusters to cancel out the induced roll.

    Why didn't they just put dogs into the tubes...
  23. Sanity is Optional
    You can also use a rubber band, or if you're desperate and don't mind loosing a bit or screwdriver a drop of JB weld.
  24. Sanity is Optional
    Things like that are why I want to get a resin printer. Resolution down to 15um range.

    For that kinda cash you're better off with a Hi-Metal R Valkyrie, honestly. Especially with kids, since the HMR ought to be more resistant to falls and manhandling.
