I let you know when the VF-171EX Alto gets delivered. The other listings for the VF-171EX Alto has the C/B grade while the other had the A/B grade. I've ordered two "B" boxed items of Jungle and they have posted the damages that was warrant for an "B" condition. The items where fine upon opening while the actual boxes have dings on it. On Mandarake listings, they will post the damages of the boxes on the listing itself and will mark the prices of the product accordingly. I'm sure that someone will post their experience with AmiAmi shortly.,

I would get one of the 19,900 Yen ones as I'm not a MISB type of person. I ordered a HMR VE-1 (Item A/Box B) and was delivered in the same condition as stated, and ordered the VF-171EX Alto (Item B/Box B) about 12 hours ago and now waiting for the email of payment and other related stuff.

Anyone still looking for plain VF-31J Hayate for their collection? There are three up for grabs on Amiami (pre-owned).
-
Congrats to some lucky collector who grabbed the pre-owned SV-262 (Keith) for 48% off the MSRP at 12,680 Yen (I believe) at Amiami not too long ago..
-
@TrickyCustomer: Did you get Lil' Draken add-ons afterwards or did you leave it as it is? Although Delta wasn't the best series for me; however the valks on the other hand are a much better design than the Frontier ones [not a fan with the VF-25s or the YF-29s (to each their own)]. The SV-262 has made a more of a overall impression do to the Delta shaped wings (in which the Karios and the Chronos has also).

Arad's valk has more appeal to me personally than compaired to Osma's (maybe it's do to the colour scheme more). With the onset of the armoured parts, it actually reminds me of the Stampede Valk; however Osma's version looks like a barrage of mixed armour of what SMS can find in the storage locker and stuffed everything in a hurry.. Looks like everyone will be hitting the F5 button in the hopes of getting a copy.. Don't want to pay an exuberant amount for Arad's unlike Hayate's Kai which was over 30,000 Yen via lottery.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I actually find that Thunder Magnus is more aesthically closer to the G1 version of the C-310 release. The new TT Legends God Ginrai release doesn't even make the cut. Note to add: Is there anyone pre-ordering the SOC Dragon Caesar? -
Then you hit F5 until your digits starts to crumble which may (or may not) secure your order in the process.

Do you have enough Shanix to get a real Draken @seti88 and put it in your hanger? If you're willing to get the 1/72 model kit and try the paint scheme in it, kudos for doing it. If you have the patient to try it on the 1/60 offering, then go for it.
-
The only HMR valks that has a stand are the VF-1J (M&M), VF-1S Messer, and the DYRL Strike Roy (If you did the pre-order or the other option is to see if the stand is up for grabs) to the best of my knowledge. You could get the Stage Act 5 stands through your local going hobby shop that sells them.
-
I think that the SV-262 will get more appeal during the movie run and boost up sales. If not, then Bandai will have to do some heavy thinking afterwards.
-
Arcadia valks are not too usually budget friendly to say the least (as they can go for a hefty sum after MRSP). I managed to get an Arcadia VF-1S DYRL Roy at a slight discount as it was used within my budget of around $200 CND and can pay a bit more if there's another valk that catches my attention (beyond $250 CND is my limit). You can actually get pretty good deals if you know where to look.
-
HMR VE-1 arrived yesterday from AmiAmi (not too picky about the slightly damaged box as I'm not a MISB type of person as the actual listing says it was pre-owned). Still in the hunt for the HMR VF-1J with GBP and may get the Ostrich down the road.
-
I was actually expecting some resin copies of Ivanov's version; however we ended up getting the poster version from two years ago. This reminds me of a 3rd party TF company (who is well known to make stellar products) in which shows a few renders for the pubic, goes silent after the show and months later the product shows up on the shelf.. I think that Arcadia has enough on their plates as it is (in regards to the premium finish Valks and the SDF-1 as their focusing on that more). For myself, I rather let Arcadia focus on the Premium finish stuff first and then tackle the SV-51 afterwards. I rather have a well built product then have one riddled with multiple flaws and QC issues upon getting a copy.
-
I knew that it came out as an 1/72 model kit (which was posted by myself with a pic from Amiami with the Ishta awhile back), however I have not seen Bandai do one in Roid's colour in 1/60 scale yet. Would like to get Keith's and the add-ons (if possible), if not, then I would like to get Roid's version with the add-ons then.
-
Thanks to @no3Ljmfor his post on the VF-31 thread, I played a little game of "I spy with my Eyes".. Low and behold the Elvis Draken (shown underneath the arrow in which I drew)! Hopefully that Bandai does decide to make this.. Edit: Changed pic for clarity.

Your order of the HMR VE-1 should be arriving soon @Roy Focker. I ordered the last copy of the HMR VF-2ss from Manda on the last weekend of January, made the payment on the same day and chose Eco Sal for shipment. Was ready for shipment as of the 30th, mailed on the 5th and just arrived at my doorstep 20 mins ago.. However, I got nabbed at Canada Post Customs at YVR for $26.60. As the quote goes: "You can't win them all"
-
I meant to say re-lease of the Elintseeker (with tweeks if needed). Premium Finish format will definitely will take a beating to my wallet and my budget!
-
Wishful thinking here folks: Since that the HMR VE-1 has been released, do you think that Arcadia will produce their version of the Elintseeker (after all, they're redesigning the SV-51)?

Since that these last few postings are about Star Trek stuff, I've been thinking about getting the Diamond Select Klingon Bird of Prey thanks to you guys. Regardless I'm also into the Star Trek and Star Wars lore (more into the latter). Just a thought: Has Eaglemoss dug themselves "Deeper in the Grave" (so to speak) in the in regards to their products in QC issues? I know that its a hit and a miss in the stuff that they issue out, it seems that most of their customer base clientele has received their products with glaring issues. Not to derail the thread even more, I've been collecting 3rd party Transformer items and various companies have issued corrected parts/items in regards to their previous products after hearing reviews. * Note: I'm not just picking on Eaglemoss or Takara/Tomy (in regards to Masterpiece TFs) as an example, it's just when you have any company that's producing items and you get a flawed one, you're going to get more backlash if something goes wrong (or as they all say: YMMV [Your mileage may vary]). If this write up in not appropriate to this tread, please notify me and I'll remove this post. -
I have a copy of the HMR VF-2ss on the way from Manda, while the Trident stages are sold out (except for the blue base version that is on discount on AmiAmi); I was thinking about using the Bandai Action Base 4/5 Clear (as I have the Tamashii Stage Act 5 attachments). Are there any objections in using this format? Looks like the HMR VE-1 is getting snapped up quickly these days.. Hopefully that there's more for the rest of us that wants one copy after missing the pre-order deadline.
-
Given that the Ba variant of the 262 will be used more in conjunction with the Keith's, will the Elvis version be like the 171EX Maruyama (with the Lil' Drakens packed box) as an TWE and the Ba variant as the cannon fodder? Still aiming to get Keith's version with the Lil'Drakens add-ons regardless (if I don't jump the gun and pre-order an 1:6 scale figure or SOC Chogokin Dragon Caesar first and break the back at the same time)..

Well... The first NCC-1701 was a bit bland as the franchise got started in the '60s as the special effects was no way near to the standards of now. The Constitution class Enterprise was the forerunner for the other ships in the Star Fleet lineup. -
Since Delta Platoon has gotten hand of two stray Lil'Drakens (possibly that Reina has reprogrammed them) for Messer's use on his 31F valk in the trailers, I'm sure that Reina has also reprogrammed the Draken that they acquired for Mirage's use. I'm sure that a beacon is used so that Mirage doesn't get shot down by friendly fire upon battle. Note: Don't forget that the flight program/codes from Messer's 31F was uploaded into Hayate's 31J Kei during the latter parts of the series.
