Has anyone seen this yet? Sorry that it's in Cantonese. From ToysTV HK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18fNgKeCiAw

Or better yet: Fire Bomber vs. Sharon Apple. Who would win?

After giving it some thought, my top choices: 1/55 Chunky Monkey 1/48 Low Vis Variants Tie between Strike VF-1s Roy/Hikaru and the DX VF-31C/F Bottom of the list: Yammie SV-51 - I only have Nora's; however, I learned that all the Yammie SV-51 variants are floppy (love the colour scheme on Nora's). Got to see how Arcadia's take in the renewal version stacks up. As for design esthics: Tie between the YF-30/VF-31 and the SV-262 Hs with the Lil Draken add ons in valk mode. Edit: VF-171: Compact buggers based to the VF-17 valks Value for your money: DX YF-19 Full Set Pack

Tell that to Basara when he sees Milia for the first time and states that she was a Grandma..
-
@jenius and @Shizuka the Cat : You're both correct. I knew it was somewhere, however it I couldn't remember which specific show.
-
It's either the VT-1 or Hikaru's Strike 1s. The VF-4G was a model version that Hikaru was swooshing it in his quarters (before Minmay stepped in and then Misa followed a few minutes later) and the production version followed later. Did I get this one right? It's been awhile since I've seen DYRL.
-
Hmm.. I must have gotten the retailers mixed up then. That's what happens if one doesn't read properly in detail or just skims it for the main content.
-
Don't forget this too.. http://www.bandaionline.com/dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1/ Note that both bandaionline and biginjapan are questionable retailers for some members here.
-
NY still has stock, however you got pay upfront. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26995-dx-chogokin-missile-set-for-vf-1-limited-edition.html Edit: Is there any other places that I may have missed?
-
Despite the packaging issue a side, at least Amazon.jp shrink wraps the actual box onto the cardboard and prevents it from being tossed inside the coffin. I agree that it could be done better. Edit: Manda does shrink wrap larger sized boxes down before putting into a larger sized box for shipping.
-
I think that your right. The valks that had randome are: VE-1, RVF-25 + RVF-171 (both Luca's units) and Chuck's VF-31E. VF-11C Super Thunderbolt should be in the list as well as it includes the randome as well - http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-11c-radome.htm Note: I think the Master List of Macross Mecha needs to be updated to include the Delta valks.

I already pre-ordered from Amazon.jp and keeping it as I usually go to Amiami. These are the stright up valks that I'm listing from Arcadia on the secondary market. Strike Roy's and Hikaru's are asking 30k yen, Max is 25k yen and Miria is 18k yen on Manda. Amiami had Miria for roughly 19k yen (from 23k yen?) and Max has a back order at roughly the same price as his wife's valk (also from 23k yen?). 25k-ish yen for the PE VE-1 is still steep for myself and others as well who are watching their finances, however it beats the guess work of hunting down one if you regret missing out on the pre-orders months later and sold out (if it goes quickly). Or if one doesn't like it after getting it, then the other options is the For Sales thread.
-
I don't believe that here is any other shipping options for pre-orders/regular orders on Amazon.jp as the default is DHL (please correct me if I'm wrong). Other Japanese hobby stores have DHL, EMS or SAL.
-
Arcadia has not issued a VE-1 after Yammies v.2 take and was asking close to 50k yen (sealed in box) on secondary markets for those that wanted it (aka "Holy Grail"). So that interns that Arcadia as filled in the missing link for now for those that wanted a 1/60 VE-1 valk. Will this version of the VE-1 be a good seller or be like the Yammie V.2 version (which was lackuster I believe until Yamato folded, then the prices skyrocketed off the roof).
-
I think that FEXT Hobby will cover the Amour (if they have enough funding to make in 1/60). Is it fair to say that this will be the most hunted down valk when Arcadia releases it? The last regular release was the VF-1J with the GBP and it was sold out for those that where still waffling in it. I have a feeling that @Shizuka the Cat might be interested as we know that she has the Yammie version already or are you going to pass over this?
-
So that means the usual shops for us then.. HLJ, AE, Amiami, NY, CDJ and Arcadia's as well (Amazon.jp is a maybe?). Is there anymore that I missed out?
-
Bring on the VE-1!! I'll be getting this first and then the SV-51. One grail valk knocked off my list.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Managed to acquire a Figuarts grail. Didn't even have to pay eBay's insane price for this and no your eye's are not playing tricks.
-
I believe that you guys have seen this and here it is again. Mirage's 31C with the 31F Movie Lil'Draken clip ons plus SV-262 Hs Draken and the sword (errors included).
-
Shock oil will be available at you local hobby store that sells RC parts (for stiff coil springs) any car parts store that sells it. I think that you can use motorcycle fork oil, just be sure that it doesn't dissolve the metal or the surrounding areas.
-
The first thing that you want to do in your copy if the YF-19 Full set is: Loosen up those hip joints! Don't be like @onnasake and have your valk legs sheer off during the transformation. Watch out for those canards on the shins and other notable items that we all have experienced here. Oh.. Don't forget to have a bottle of shock oil on hand (if you have).
-
Since the DX VF-1J is getting the hype now, there's another price drop on the DX YF-19 Full set from Amiami for those who still haven't gotten one. From 27k yen to now roughly 22.4k yen (Box B/Item B). https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-038985-R

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm sure that they can @no3Ljm. Take the Figuarts WM Mk.2/3 suit sans the reactor and re-use the Mk.1 arm gun gauntlets and the shoulder cannon. Put on new tampo graphing on the amour and there you go; therefore making it a TWE offering. As you know the newest Figuarts IM has a re-use of the previous versions of the armour molds (dubbed the Hot Rod) added new paint to it. Edit: I'm sure that the digital painting can make a good likeness of the Frank Castle head. -

@Mommar: I didn't even see this one at all even though the teaser was posted was posted by myself on the 1st of this month. Thanks for the update.. Just missed this on Toyark. http://news.toyark.com/2019/01/18/marvel-future-fight-the-punisher-in-war-machine-armor-329670 Edit: Date fixed. -
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
borgified replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
That's quiet humble collection to start off in this thread @Pontus. I can't show you or anyone else in this thread on my collection as I still need a shelf to display it all (still in boxes and opened). If you want a 1/60 Q-Rau in Milia's colours, proxies may have them for sale (as there are no guarantees that you will get one), just be ready to possibly pay a bit more for S&H to where you are . Make sure that you have enough funds to cover your Macross collecting habits as us members do know too well, where all going down the rabbit hole deeper and deeper..
