I am sure HJ only send it to an address in Japan. Outside Japan I only found this one, or wait for eBay... http://tokyohunter.blogspot.com/2010/01/me...na-shining.html

It ended cheap because you guys just talk about it instead of bidding on it! Seriously this is why people go to auctions (real or online) because you can get lucky with good price.

Set #2, 500 yen each.

They are toys, like SDX, e.g.: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN958556 or http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN956961

Bandai should just reissue them. I love those perfect transforming JM. Chance is low for that of course, given Bandai was probably disappointed by low sale of 1:55 reissues and re-assigned the hi-metal brand to 1:100. But speaking of Macross SD, Bandai did announce something: source SD ∞ : expansion of SDX line which only have some strange Gundams for now.

A little heads up for those interested in the Bandai Emotion Style Sheryl: This is the promotion photo: http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig10/10104121a8.jpg This is the actual product: http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig10/10104121a13.jpg http://www.moeyo.com/2010/02/review_bandai...oss_sheryl.html

Higher-res again. Looks like the VF-1 will have swapping heat shield and landing gears.

Yeah unless they reissue, which never happened since this Tamashii shop thing began. A few shops still have it BTW: http://www.anime-export.com/product/5043 http://www.angolz.com/home/productDetails....49&catId=32

Yes officially they are. But you can order a full set from a wholesale, e.g. HLJ used to carry the 1st set: http://www.hlj.com/product/BNP63711 for $800+, and you get 4 of each premium figures in the set. There are stores that just divide up the set can charge market price without lucky draw, e.g. http://www.toyslogic.com/index.php?main_pa...products_type=1 The 2 new recolor figures are 2nd chance price for those who bought the lucky draw tickets from regular sellers in Japan. More detail here: http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/02/ban...-macross-f.html Only one I can find, other wise wait for eBay. Overstock used to sell them but now I their site don't list them. http://www.toyslogic.com/index.php?main_pa...products_type=1

Remember Graham talked with Yamato and they will make shoulder replacement parts available to us somehow. Still no news on that huh?

No it's the other way around - the dark-red and black is the mass produced one, guaranteed to have a few in each full set from wholesale. The red one and the other shown is together a set, only winnable through a lucky draw.

Here is a review of the unit from HK: http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=22048 Plus some additional photos: http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthre...tra=&page=4 http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthre...tra=&page=7 Review translated: And here are some reviews from Japan: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/tom913/e/58d078cd8d5...96a3c8cc395ea27 http://blog.goo.ne.jp/tom913/e/5a83f67ab60...065e7fe59b64c1a http://blog.kuruten.jp/bat/104385 http://oniityan.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2010-01-20 http://2nd.geocities.jp/lifezoids2/MAX-XD-01.htm http://kurosiromoko.blog69.fc2.com/blog-entry-760.html#more Personally I am happy with my Soul spec D-1 - at least it got a Falguen to spar with.

The display event was at Tokyo and then moved to Osaka within a day or two where someone take the new photo. I think it held up reasonably well. For the record - it was first shown around June 2009 at a Robot Damashii <side VF> product. After a half year long silence we see the near-finish display with both Robot Damashii and DX Chogokin label. I doubt they will give it an official scale. Most of the Bandai toy line products don't have a scale.

New Robot Damashii display: VF-25S Armored and König Monster http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=827449

Oh yes... Original photos in case ToysDaily host get too slow: http://www.blog.amiami.com/amiblo/2010/02/vol1.html The K-Monster display label show both "Robot Damashii" and "DX Chogokin" instead of "<Side VF>". Hopefully it means we will see it as a general release in the DX line instead of a limited release. Edit: more photos source: http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/014435/

I have the same problem but only on the right leg, and I just fixed it after seeing your photos. I think the black disc thing is suppose to be glued to the lower part. Same with my YF-19 and Sv-51.

I think he just used double-side sticky tape.

99.4% chance. The 0.6% account for a major earth quake in Japan in the next 6 months.
