On a serious note, we all know that Arad's 31s is to be released in August/September and hopefully with Chuck's 31E not too far behind, I guess that Bandai will surprise us with the Elvis or the Ba variants soon? If not, then I be waiting for the Arcadia SV-51 (and in that way I can build up my funds).
-
Just reading all of your updates on the 31A situation.. Seriously that sucks and a fair chunk of you guys literally got burnt to a crisp with NY acting like a scammer in this regards and leaving you all high and dry with no goods to show. This could be another reason(s) why as well too. Still shady in my books..

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Got the VF-1s Hikaru as I already have the Strike/Fast packs already. I know that we had this conversation in regards of the 1/48 on the other site as I'm focusing on the ones that I want plus the price for it was reasonable (not more than $200 CDN). I was also watching the other sites like a hawk in regards to the VF-1s Hikaru as well. Just so happens that I managed to catch the listing when I went back into the site and it was the last one available, that is when I snagged it. It's the one with the flaming box (version 1.1) -
I love the 102F as it reminds me of the Stampede valk, however it's the colour option that it has right now doesn't suit me. I take it that there might be other paint variations if it goes well and the demand for it?

@Shizuka the Cat: You know what's even worse that collecting Macross valks? Having other stuff that we collect also, albeit it may be in TFs, comics, tokusatsu, mecha, Lego, et all.. You get the jest of it. Not long ago, I pre-ordered another 1/6 figure (to be out by Q2 of this year) and have funds actually set aside for this. The worst thing is to be in debt for the rest of your life and you can't even make the payments due to the interest that's slapped on it (and you keep in buying more stuff to satisfy your plastic crack habits; therefore going deeper into the debt pool). Having a collection is one thing, just budget your expenses accordingly. On a side note, I just pulled the trigger on a 1/48 valk last night as it actually the last listing available from the two that was listed earlier. -
The 1/48 Woodland GBP is still up for grabs.

Hmm... Needs a reactive armour to complete it. -

Wowza! $50K yen for a Yammie VE-1 and it's the Rainbow canopy version.. I wouldn't even scratch that amount of cash even if it was listed, however I'm quite impressed for your commitment @Shizuka the Cat. Which reminds me that I still need to hunt for a 1/60 VF-1J with the GBP (either the Yammie V.2 or the Arcadia version). I only have 3 of the 1/60 valks, 5 HMRs (not including the Ostrich for now) and a Strike/Fast Pack for a 1/48 valk. As for the valk itself, I already picked it out and just need get it shortly either this month or the next (and hopefully that it's still listed). -
One more to add for the cat related puns..

Yep! Since that Shizuka was asking about Yeti stands, I think we all pushed her even more to spend $$ out of her own pocket and that she can add her collection photos into the "Macross Collection Display Thread". I think that she still needs to get at least one of the 1/48 valks sooner or later to spice up her collection. -

Glad to see that the VF-171s still have some love despite its issues and the crazy tight arm joints. Might pick up the Luca's EX as possibly. -

Here you go (I had to go on the Ikea.ca website for reference for this): https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10119206/ There's actually a Ikea US (and international) website that you can go to. -
Slowly but surely that the VF-31a is being shipped out by NY..
-
From what I can remember (I think that it was this thread), Escaflowne was co-written by Kawamori with Yumiko Tsukamoto and that's why you can see Kawamori's influence on the SV-154 and even on the SV-51 as well. On a side note: Was the SV-154 Svard based on actual plane (if so, then what craft was the inspiration of the design)?
-
Here is the exact specs on the shipping methods in further details: http://www.amiami.com/top/page/t/ps_en.html
-
That's actually me that's enabling you not Shizuka.. Amiami does have the slow ship method under SAL (registered mail or unregistered).
-
You're going further and deeper into the rabbit hole @Shizuka the Cat!
-
@Arthurius: Are you possibly getting the HMR VT-1 (Ostrich) as well? Note: The pre-order for the VT-1 is still up on Amiami as well.
-
You'e missing the tan coloured NUNS VF-171 in the list..
-
Doing the Shaggy quote (a la Scooby Doo animated show) I take it. I'll take a SV-262 Ha and the Lil'Drakens if it doesn't happen, however it's the search for the add ons that makes it harder to it make it more complete. On a side note: Isn't true that some enemy valks/mecha are not as big as the hero ones in Japan or not?
-
I do remember that as I did read it also.. Very shady. It seems like the fiasco with NY in regards with the 31a is mounting fast and quickly.. Sounds like a Cease and Decease order. If you if so decide to leave and order somewhere else, that's their problem as they have lost you as their customer base and they have reeled in another unsuspecting customer into their trap with no return and won't let go in your wake.
-
I take it that you haven't checked the VT-1 line art posted on pg 457?
-
That is one serious shady business in my books with no options to choose from? Sounds like a true scammer, but instead of taking your hard earned funds and runs out the door, NY returns your money back. On a side note: I've been reading ebay scammers on TFW2005 as well. Instead of what you originally ordered from, you get a bag of snacks or a cheap trinket in return.. Like SRSLY??
-
I was actually waffling on the HMR Super O as I wanted to get the VF-31s instead; however after seeing the pre-orders for the VF-31s close days later, I didn't want to take the chance on the Super O orders. One less thing to worry about now. Kampai!!
-
Sigh... I finally caved in and pre-ordered the Super Ostrich after I said that I will not. Much appreciated for all your enablements. I can put my Macross shelf up soon as they're still in their respected boxes presently.
