  1. I was looking at that specific ad last night. Even though its a 3rd party seller and Fulfilled by Amazon.jp, it doesn't ship to YVR (international shipping). I believe that it will offer international shipping once they get more stock in.
  2. I have a funny feeling that you are going to get your first copy from Amazon Japan @Shizuka the Cat before my copy from Manda reaches into YVR's Postal Outlet.
  3. Up on Toyark Homemade suit Spidey is to be re-issued with added stuff (and a possible Mysterio figure is shown in one of the pics). https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/27/spider-man-far-from-home-homemade-suit-spider-man-by-hot-toys-361081 Price and release date not set.
  4. Just got the email to say that my copy of the Silpheed Amour is on its way to from Manda Fukuoka to YVR. Looks like that I may get the Armour before NY, AE or my mykombini sends out their shipment to the rest of you that are still waiting for it..
  5. There is a set of Messer's Supers up for grabs on Amiami (Used/Pre-owned) Item A, Box B for approximately 20k yen. https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-033633-R Supers for me also.. If the Supers don't get made for Chucky, I have the Silpheed Armour for him already.
  6. Up on Toyark and price not determined yet. https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/23/avengers-endgame-captain-america-special-edition-by-hot-toys-360697
  7. I take it that the 171 will be second place with all the nuances that comes with it. I think that every DX valks have its own issues regardless.
  8. Thanks for uploading Toys TV HK's review up @Darth Mingus.. It looks better on Chucky as the colour blends well along with the monocle Cyclops eye and they also approved on it. Going to use the arm attachments when setting up to be on the safe side.
  9. Up on Toyark. https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/21/assassins-creed-rogue-shay-patrick-cormac-1-6-scale-figure-by-damtoys-360572 Pricing and pre-orders not up yet. I'm might get this as I'm interesed in Military/Historical events as well.
  10. Got the confirmation email and I did get it!! Payment due in 5 days. I went with EMS as shipping... Guess how much for shipping it to YVR? 4.5k yen for a 2 kg box of molded Silpheed Armour parts. Going to put it on Chucky (with mismatched numbers and colours) upon getting it and having the time to assemble it. If the Supers get made for Chuck, I'll most likely get it. Hmm... I wonder how the Silpheed Armour looks on Mirage's 31c. A quick kit bash in the making...
  11. Just snagged it (hopefully and if no one beats me to it) and will see if it follows through in three days.
  12. Totally different paint schemes, same sticker sheets with no tampos. There's the Yammie 1/48 thread in which there is different colour schemes for the valks. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/43665-i-still-like-my-148-collection-how-about-you/ The Arcadia 1/60 PE valks have added tampos on the valks and the also the DX valks as ethem as well.
  13. OR... Get a secondary 262 Hs and strip the valk completely and then repaint it. Nah... It's easier to get the Model kit version and then paint it to your liking (Stealth, Low Vis, Cameo, etc).
  14. And posted here by dobber himself on the customs thread. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/gallery/album/296-sv-51-splinter-camo/
  15. Here's actually my thoughts after reading and voting in the tread @sqidd. The best value for the official version of Roy's 1s and the SSP set is is the Arcadia 1/60, You can try and get the Yammie V.2: however there's the problem of the cracked shoulder joints in which you can get the Shapeways replacement parts. Get the Yamato 1/60 VF-1s Roy/Hikaru set with the "+ Plus" set in which a small flashlight of the Skull emblem is included (see jenius' write up on his thread - http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4599 ) If you like the 1/60 Skull version, then you can go one step up and get the Yamato 1/48 version. Note that the corresponding SSP pack can be purchased separately. The Low Vis variants (Weathered) of both the 1/60 and the 1/48 VF-1s are really expensive to get so make sure that you have enough funds for it! Now it's the waiting game for the pre-orders for the DX 1s Roy to drop and for sure that that most of everyone here will get their hands on a copy (or two/three/four). * The Unofficial version of both Roy's/Hikaru's 1s has been discussed on the "Grey Market VF" thread. * The other item to be noted is that Customs maybe placed on top the item that you ordered. Check out the info as per your Postal/Delivery provider and make sure that you have extra funds ready if you get nabbed.
  16. New items form Toyark. Blitzway/Sideshow collabration of Bill and Ted's Adventures https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/17/bill-ted-sixth-scale-figure-set-by-blitzway-360193 Pre-orders are on Sideshow Hot Toy's Endor Leia and Wicket set. https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/16/hot-toys-princess-leia-and-wicket-set-official-pics-and-details-360045 Note that Wicket and Leia can be bought separably and read the details for further info.
  17. I actually did a 1/48 Milia with the Arcadia stand and flipped the valk around so the adapter nub is sitting behind the head. The old Yammie valk stand can be found on Manda and Amiami Should be able to as the Arcadia valk stand is actually re-enginnered from the Yammie version.
  18. Now you know why there's a gap on the shoulder paldron when you put on the Silpheed Armour in the Karios as the canards are totally different in size (and it was mentioned before). Edit: Just saw the review as of 12:10 am PST. Totally insane for Xaos to get the Armoured Pack and they said that they're out of funds during the course of the show. Where did they manage to get the funding for these - maybe Lady M helped them out?? Second request after Arad's Silpheed Armour on Chuck's 31e if I may and if anyone has the time: All the Armoured valks together in one shot - VF-1J with the GPB, Osma's/Alto's/Micheal's Amoured VF-25, Alto's/Maruyama's 171EX Armoured and Arad's 31s Silpheed. Panoramic/Wide angle view might be need for this one..
  19. Are you planning the put the Armoured Parts for Alto's 171EX on Luca's RVF-171EX @Shizuka the Cat? Make sure that you save up for your actual wedding too! It's not getting cheap anymore (the last article did read about planning the wedding banquet only is close to 40k USD).

    Macross figures

    Isn't that the "Noodle Topper" versions of Maki Maki and Fre Fre? I knew that Manda was selling both of them a while back @Saburo. @Slave IV - Pics of the combined Walkure team when you get a chance.
  21. I actually echo on that as well as I rather have it opened and inspected for issues before I buy it. If it has dings and a few flaws here and I'm not too picky about it, then count me in. Two years ago, I picked up a 2nd hand MP Tigertracks which had paint bubbles and was slightly chipped at one of the fenders as per the description. Didn't really bug me and I picked it up for 6.5k yen while the other listing was at 8k yen (not to mention that I was actually looking for a copy at decent price). Edit: Doesn't look too bad on Arad as I might get one for Chuck's 31e instead or wait for his Supers.
  22. Now the question is... Which version of the 31j are you going to keep @DYRL VF-1S . Supers next or are you going to to leave plain and simple?
  23. Well.. Maybe close to the actual Mirage 2000? I like the Delta winged designed valks more, possibly that they're more aggressive looking. The actual Draken J35 takes some time to get used to. Hell... I still like the Avro Arrow CF-105 as it's still a piece of Canadian Avionics history, however it got mothballed as it was too expensive and too advanced at that time when it was introduced (and yes we briefly touched on this in the New Purchases thread).
  24. Up on Toyark https://news.toyark.com/2019/08/14/hellboy-one12-collective-anung-un-rama-edition-px-previews-exclusive-359955 Pre-orders should be up?? Edit: Mezco did add the sash on Iron Fist last Friday while doing on of their photoshoots (found on the One: 12 thread on Toyark).
