The VF-1A just showed up for pre-order on YesAsia... $262.19 https://www.yesasia.com/us/dx-chogokin-macross-vf-1a-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-use/1073347399-0-0-0-en/info.html Also, they do free standard international shipping on orders over $39,

Welp, ended up ordering a set of 4 stands. At $20 after shipping, I just could not resist.

Mandarake sold one earlier this week for 32K yen.

Saw this on eBay. Is this a real Arcadia product? https://www.ebay.com/itm/ARCADIA-The-Super-Dimension-Fortress-Macross-Meltlandi-Military-Fortress/123144467156?hash=item1cabfb72d4:g:id4AAOSwEzxYXgEM

Please let me know. I am kind of curious about these.

Is this a gray market version of the Arcadia basic clear stand? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Marcross-Arcadia-Yamato-Dx-Base-Support-Holder-Stand-Transparent-60-Series-VF-1-19-25-29/32976160670.html

I would probably avoid Okini.land. Doing a WHOIS lookup of this domain name (https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=okini.land), the fact that there is zero contact information there is NOT reassuring....

Looks good

The glitches at 2:23 and 14:19 are gone now. Yay! Still watching thru the video to see if new issues arose anywhere.

@jenius' VF-4 review video back up....

YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! @jenius' VF-4 review is up! (edit: Not anymore)

WOW, I must have gotten really lucky with my missile order from them less than 24 hours ago.

You build up a balance over the course of a quarter year. At end of the quarter, they issue you your earned eBay Bucks. You have 1 month to spend it, or you lose it. I lost a couple of $10 accumulations because I either forgot about them, or could not find something to buy during the 1 month time limit to spend them.

DX VF-1A listing on Rakuten Global Market. But.... at 28,728 yen. https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/speedwagon/item/10002943/

No need for eBay credit card. You just sign up for free for the eBay Bucks program.

How much did you spend on eBay to accumulate $293 in eBay bucks?! HOLY COW!

PlayAsia has been around for a long time. I have gotten media from them in the past. I consider them to be fairly reputable.

PlayAsia lists the DX VF-1A TV Max as "pre-orders opening soon". Might be worth keeping an eye on, in case this is true. https://www.play-asia.com/dx-chogokin-macross-delta-vf-1a-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-custo/13/70cndh
