Yeah, I'm probably in for a VF-1S. I don't mind if it doesn't transform, if it looks good and is still cheaper than an Arcadia.
-
Worth the wait. Glad one of my pre-orders finally showed up.
-
My ebay seller came through with my pre-order. Just showed up today, was shipped late last week.

The darker blue on the Titans version will show nub marks a bit more. That said, I preferred the darker color scheme.
-
I think they remove it to better protect it during shipping. It's pretty fragile.
-
RG MK II is probably one of the easiest and sturdiest kits. The RG Astray Red Frame is pretty good also (careful with the waist peg though).
-
Progressive reloading setups aren't cheap. Still less spent than my friend that's collecting late 1800s-WW2 bolt actions though.
-
It's more expensive than my plastic model hobby, but roughly the same as my shooting hobby.

It started for me with a business trip to Japan, spent the last half-day before my flight out in Akihabara, and went my Mandarake. Ended up buying an Alto Super VF-25 V1 pack. Then after that a couple HMRs (Max and Milia), and the Arcadia YF-19 when it was on sale from HLJ. Now I've got all 4 VF-25s from Skull Squadron (Tornado 25G, Armor 25S, Super RVF-25, Tornado 25F V1), Luca and Alto VF-171 w/ supers, 30th VF-29 w/ supers, VF-19 advance, YF-25, Macross Quarter, Koenig Monster, robot spirits Klan Queadluun, Vf-27 renewal, a couple Arcadia VF-1s, Yamato Tomahawk, Yamato YF-21, Yamato anniversary YF-19, Yamato VF-0A, both Arcadia SDF-1, SV-262, VF-31 super (Mirage and Hayate), 2 VF-31a (second one just arrived a few hours ago). Plus various pre-orders. Then the entire shelf of HMR stuff. Still need some non-missile Regults though. Frontier is arguably my favorite Macross TV series.
-
...I counted it up, and I'm probably in around $13k or so, over maybe 2 years. A good portion of that is both SDF-1 figures though.
-
Spudgers are good, if you can get it under the edge.
-
So, gotta ask, what's the story with the 31a? Late arriving pre-order, or did you buckle and pay the current prices?
-
For next time you can also arrange for the post office to hold your mail while you're on vacation (at least in the US, not sure what country you're in).

Whats Lying on your Workbench MK IV
Sanity is Optional replied to Urashiman's topic in The Workshop!
That 171 is in desperate need of panel lining and some detail work. Now I'm feeling a need to do the one I've got in my (gigantic) backlog. -
I thought I'd spotted 3 versions. DVD, Blueray, and the Amazon Special Version (or something). I did note it said on both the DVD and Blueray that they included English subtitles.
-
I've got them both myself, though the 19 is still in the mail. They're hard to find nowadays. Need to get a Macross Plus display case set up at some point.
-
I got authorized, but not actually charged.
-
Are those the diecast Doyusha YF-19 and YF-21 I see there?
-
Supposedly the text says it's a fixed-pose kit.
-
It's really amazing how much detail is hiding in that thing, waiting for a bit of lining to make it show up.
-
I think it's a combination of a lot of things, each of which make it more desirable. VF-31 being arguably the best transforming VF Bandai makes. VF-31a having a delta wing like the YF-30 and VF-0D, which seems to be more popular than the forward sweep of the other 31s. VF-31a being a more realistic blue-grey color than the less well received Delta squad paintjobs. Cannon Fodder machines people generally buy more of. Missiles rather than drones in the legs (even though it still has the stupid drone charger). The whole scarcity issue with unfilled orders.

Well, it's ¥2,000 cheaper than the last unopened, package damaged one they got.
-
So, what other shops are you guys going to be getting your TWE items from?
-
Datamining? That's a hot field, good one to get into. That or machine learning (there's a bit of overlap as I understand it).
-
My ebay seller finally shipped out earlier this week, I'm guessing was one of the people who got alongside the Taobao buyers.
