NuGundam, you have to STOP buying from a seller that declares real value if you want to avoid taxes and duty. I have bought so many products from pll who will declare low, that i always avoided the tax/duty from them. Why risk it? I think Overdrive doesnt declare actual, so you are safe there. As for the rest of you, why are you fighting over whether or not to try to get Yamato to drop suggested selling/retail prices? Dont you want more discount? If you dont want the discount, thats fine, its not like the one who really really wants something is NOT going to buy something they really want eventually anyways, however, it "may" help for more people to buy that same product, and not keep skipping and skipping. Besides, we could use some discounts, would sure help me justify some...but.....but the problem is....how much discount do we want really??? Can the poster please specify for everyone what he had in mind making this thread, what kind of discount are we talking about exactly here, what is sought to be a fairer price???

ff95gj, thanks for the pictures, can you take a dynamic picture of the VE-1 in batroid mode 1) Without Saucer or antennas in hand, but with supper 2) same as above, but without the supper thx

NuGundam, pls give more details on toys2, and hlj, where can i find these stores, are they as cheap as if i get from overdrive, but local?

Agent, how did your friend get it for so cheap, i figure he only saves on shipping, but stil!!!!

I sincerely hope there will be a second production of this next year.... What to do, i can finally buy 1 yamato toy, and bam, both the vf-22 Max and the vf-11c come out at same time... My first choice is the vf-22, but damn, the vf-11c is sooo beautifull too, i have also been wanting this for a long time, as i had the bandai model, and thought the color scheme is much better than the macross plus version. Comon guys, buy this stuff, so yamato makes other schemes, so you resell me this vf-11c at a discounted price in one year from now, granted the vf-2ss and vf-17 dont come out same time . When i think about it, there is only 4 last valk i really want: the vf-22/yf-21, the vf-11c (current scheme ONLY), the vf-17, the vf-2ss.... and maybe, just maybe, the basara (cause i got the model)... when you think of it, thats 800 - 1000 $ MINIMUM right there, crap, that hurts.

dear Yamato, pls DONOT make the vf-2ss next, make anything else, pleaaaaaase, i beg you, dont make the vf-2ss, my dream valk next, and netither the vf-17 , cause i cant afford it for at least another 8 months, and i can finally, after the longest wait ever, get a vf-22s max, and have to already skip on the beautifull vf-11c (go figures i get permission and money for only one, and the damn two come out at same time).

Hey Logos, thanks for that heads-up. Have you purchased something above 100$ value recently from HLJ? I think its after 50$ that duty starts, so at 100$, if you didnt get duty, i "might" risk it too for 200$ purchase.

Where can i preorder a vf-22 max??? HLJ doesnt qualify, since they mark actual value, so i get charged tax and duty. I want someone both cheap and reliable. Thanks in advance.

I offer 50$ for it, hehehe!!!!

Hey Rusky, thanks alot of the link, i found some nice poses for my vf-0s, and there are some potential poses for a yf-19 (hope it will look good on the dark color). Wandering if any of you took nice poses of your darker color valks, to make them stand out more. Thanks in advance!!!

Ok guys, i need serious help finding good poses for my darker color Macross Yamato toys, namely the 25th aniversary yf-19 (other schemes dont count, they look fine just standing straight). I do have the normal fps, which i may eventually paint black, and yamato stand as well the flexis. Also, i want to pose my 1/48 vf-1s 25th aniversary, and my 1/48 stealth. Alll of these in batroid mode of course Thanks

whats wrong with you guys, the batroid looks great!!! But i still wouldnt buy it, only since i have to go through the bare necessities first (ie wife and money wont permit) -> 1) VF-22S, 2) VF-17 3) vf-11c 4) nice repaint of yf-21 or vf-22. Of course, in years from now when i am rich like you guys, then sure, will buy the goodies.

Graham, will there be any improvement on the two vf-22 coming out compared to the first version, or will it be same, just different question. Same questions, but on the vf-11C (wait for it to be official, then answer this part i guess). As for the vf-11c, if it does happen, i sure hope the fps are a bit bigger (longer) than for the vf-11a, would make it nicer for sure. Finally, I hope the make the vf-17, before the kai!!!! hmmm, wait a minute, if that would happen, then i couldnt get it, cause no money, so here is praying they make the Kai first!!!

Hmm, which one to get, the vf-22 Max, or the Yf-21, help me decide, i can only have one, and it may be my last toy for years, if not forever.... I already have a 1/72th yf-21, even if it looks hedious compared to new one, but can only buy one, and i doubt they would make a dark low vis or black jack scheme, so i guess it is now or never. As for Milia, I already have her battlepod, but i have nothing with Max in it, so, leaning more towards Max, not decided yet.... HELP

ff95gj, wow, i love it, it looks really great, sooo jalous, but since i dont have the yf-21 or vf-22 yet, i have to wait, and hope they come on special. I already have the 25th aniversary scheme, but i think this one would look great next to it. Can you please take a picture of it in batroid mode with the fps??? Thx in advance

whats wrong?? I will tell you whats wrong. Whats wrong is that you got the air intakes closed in fighter mode, thats what, you need it open, then it be amazing.

wow, much better, now i am tempted...

Eugemon, nice pics. Can you take one in batroid mode with the air intakes open, alone, and one with yf-21 again with air intakes opened??? Thx

more pictures please!!! I think it would be great if we could have the following pictures: 1) Side by side yf-21 (no fps) and vf-22 in batroid mode: pls have the air intake open for me, but if you want, have another pic of the intake closed for other members 2) Side by side yf-21 (no fps) and vf-22 in fighter mode: pls have the air intake open 3) vf-22 in batroid mode, no flash, the whole body, and more close up of the face Thanks

Two Questions come to mind seing the new pictures: 1) Are the guns supposed to be blue?? They look blue on the pic anyways. 2) Is it me, or the head looks different then the prototypes, and for the worst, though more pics will be needed...??

thanks

Can someone please take a picture of a 1/48 vf-1 with a beagle in armor mode, and another one with just as soldier (bike on the side). I need to see size comparison.

5 x yf-19 all same color??? Why man??? Are you going to make some nice new schemes with these???

damn it, comon yamato, hurry up and get this vf-22s version out fast and done with, so that you can finnaly get max or millia color scheme... i cant wait to get at vf-21 or vf-22s!!! I dont like this new scheme that much, and the original yf-21 is fine, just that if i buy only 1, i want to have another scheme. Now unfortunately, the best scheme ever is the one by moq, the black-jack, and it is hopeless for me to think that yamato would do a nice scheme like that. This is obviously the best scheme for a yf-21 / vf-22 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...10&hl=yf-21

Some people mentioned not to buy a house, but rather to rent. I was just wandering why is that, i figured buying a house puts money in your own pocket instead of the lanlord. So why are people suggesting to rent instead, how does it put more money in my pockt?
