    Thanks. One less left.

    https://showzstore.com/c/valkyrie-factory_0548 The 1J is available now with free shipping.

    I am not at all good at providing review. Just my personal take on this: - Looks is good. The PF level tampo printing is as good as the original (have not use a magnifying glass to compare, but good at viewing distance). - The knee joint is not as firm as the original - The landing gear cover on the legs seems to be slightly less tidy. Not as seamless as the original. I hardly use the landing gear and I fiddle with the cover to get it to look good and leave it at that. So not a deal breaker for me. - The head for the 1S is a bit different, but not enough to cause any visual problem for me, I have not seen their rendering of the 1J head since I have have the 1S Overall, for the price of under $130 shipped, I call it good value. If you just display it, I think I will not care too much. But if you like to handle/transform it often, then the joints will bug you a bit.

    Nice. $45 is a super sweet deal for the Swordfish II, missed that.

    I have the KO Hikaru and Roy. If you are up to reviewing them, I can provide my copy for this purpose. I ordered the Milia PF when it was on offer (too good a deal to pass), now I am missing a PF max. I am tempted by the KO max. No one know if we will get as good a deal on Max as with Milia. Since Max is more popular, I am not keeping my hope high, so the KO version is super tempting. Since the handling of the KO version is worst, I could keep my non PF Arcadia version for messing around with but the KO PF version for just display. -kk

    As @jenius said in his GBP reviews, the gerwalk joint is all you need.

    Love this!

    Thanks. I hope I don't have to wait till Oct 10, but good to know some info about what to expect.

    @theraidenI hope your eBay order come through. With my eBay failure, I have non on order and will need to hunt one down again.

    I use FromJapan proxy service for two. Also added another from Amazon JP after you. All of them is pending shipping.

    You probably know this better than I do so, but I have seen someone here reporting that they totally ruin the valk by removing the bump entirely. The tab is need to keep the shoulder in position. Maybe reducing it a bit is a good balance between risk of shoulder breakage and usability. I just prefer to fix the shoulder (remove the pin and file it down and strengthen the joints with some glue).

    @Lolicon Really nice weathering. Love it. Wish I can find one of this at a reasonable price. "Permanently" ? Are you glueing it on? are they that problematic?

    True HMR macross fans should buy one minimum each to ensure we will have more release in future! Joking aside, I agree. It is a bit pricy but I will try to get one, maybe after release.

    Finally, hope you like it. Are you going to open your 1J too? Mine are still not shipped yet.

    Should be getting one I think, love any vf-4 variants.

    I hope so. Does that means PP will be loosing out money? Since the seller is "gone" like @jenius said.

    1 hour ago. Seeing your post lead me to check on this and was horrified to found that the seller is now not registered. eBay seems to say that this is not an "Money back guaranteed" item, so just leaving me to resolved with the seller. I am not sure how that can help me since the seller is no longer registered. Very disappointed with eBay. Trying PayPal now, hopefully they can help. Failing that I will ping my CC provider. What a pain. Those scammer are bad for business. I also have another PO for an EVA MB 02 on eBay, will watch that closely.

    I have paid for a DX 1S from another seller, now he/she is no longer register with ebay. Still waiting for ebay/paypal to refund me on this.

    Updated the shipping address to home instead of work just in case it arrive on Saturday. That was a mistake, it pushed back the expected arrival data from 27th to Monday.
  20. kkx
    Pure speculation here: I think it just count down to the expected shipping date. Amazon seems to already have an idea of the date it expect the item will be available for shipping.

    I am also waiting for my AJ order to ship, the green bar is so near so I expect it will ship today or tomorrow. Official expected delivery is 26 to 30th Sept. I hope I don't have to wait till Monday. Regretting selecting my work address for this.

    Looking gorgeous! I am glad I am getting two of this. Maybe it is due to WB, all the photo I have seen so far seems to indicate that Max is much more on the white side compared to the 1J. Even the youtube review video make it looks that when the two are seen side by side. Weird. Glad to hear from your in-person impression. It looks much better this way.

    Can't find a thread dedicated to the 30th anniversary version, so posting here. If anyone is looking for one, a good seller is listing one with a nice price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arcadia-Macross-1-60-VF-1J-Valkyrie-30th-Anniversary-color-version/153647811914?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908131621%26meid%3Dc643c0ba50d9449fb5f130866854e52d%26pid%3D100678%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D11%26sd%3D153647811914%26itm%3D153647811914%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100678.m3607&_trkparms=pageci%3A1da035ff-de1c-11e9-acd9-74dbd1802544|parentrq%3A5edfe62916d0a86015c1f165ffa0a285|iid%3A1 I have had good service from this seller. The 30th anniversary version look really crips and nice if you like he color scheme.

    If I am buying a DX 1/60 then 400 yen more is nothing, but I was just about to put the F-18 that cost 2190yen in my cart.

    Finally have time to look at this. I finally abel to fit the adaptor in more securely. Turn out there is two tiny tab a the two front tips of the adaptor. I slot those in first at an angle and then push in the back of the adaptor in after the those tips fount their slot. Much happier with this now.
