Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Nice Mospeada collection, @vladykins. By the way, I'm not sure if it's just the yellow cast on the photo. Is your Beagle already got yellowed? I also noticed that Ley's leg is not resting on the foot rest? -
Around $1K? It's no for me. But if ever they make TV SDF-1 in PF mode, within the same price range as their previous DYRL SDF-1 PF (since I don't think they'll do lower than that), I'll probably get one.

I also don't mind a Metal Build AEGIS too.

I know you're a friend, @anubis20. But I'm starting to hate you now for doing this gorgeous looking kits. I'm now jealous of your mad skills.
-
Oh yeah. I forgot about that eBay link from previous page. Anyways, the routine we take on getting these collectibles are so crazy.
-
At this point, the cheapest one is the one from AmazonJP at Y25800. But then you have to use proxy to obtain it. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Dimension-Fortress-Macross-Valkyrie/dp/B08C3GRZ4P/ Or just wait and see how much it's going for once it gets released coming Nov 28.

HobbySearch just posted the ‘multiplex’ kit: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/10737874

I think it’s a reissue with 3 different heads so you can choose which one to build. So if you want all three, you have to buy 3 sets. Here’s some photos from the previous kit from HobbySearch: Here’s from the new photos from the ‘Multiplex’ kit: The question now is if it comes with 3 different heads, will the kit comes in white and grey colored parts?

True. It's something that we have to start to live with it now if we're still going to continue collecting. Or unless HG loses again its license then maybe we can just get stuff easily here in the US. No worries. It's just that when I read your comment I just want to let you know that what you experienced is already been experienced by someone. Atleast, at the end of the day once the item arrives at our doorsteps, we get to enjoy it no matter how much we paid for it.
-
I also pay more too when I was still in the Philippines. Forgot how much the percentage is but sometimes there will be small items that I bought that I'm paying as much for custom. So I ended up just getting stuff directly from a specialty store. Coz I thought I can save a lot buying directly. But then, that was like almost 20 years ago so I don't know if it's still the same back there.
-
Point taken. I'm also in the US so I'm also not paying custom. Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to explain that your experience is also probably been experienced by other people outside Japan and US for that matter.
-
Yes, I do agree on that. What I'm just trying to point it out is that getting it locally is not as 'secure' as getting it directly from Japan. Hence most of us are trying to get it directly first abroad. Here in the US, for example, getting it thru BBTS means the price is already inflated during PO, and you still have to pay sales tax and flat shipping which in turn you're already paying it as much as scalper's price. But then, we can't label them scalpers because they're just paying their dues for getting supply outside US. And securing them is still not 100% because there's always a chance of not fulfilling all its orders. Not to mention the 'company' whose making that hard for us fans. So I specifically mentioning that if you want to buy Macross, Mospeada, and Southern Cross product, it's best to get it directly from a Japanese store. Unless it's under Robotech line, then order it locally.
-
Actually, this is not just in Italy. It's everyone's dilemma who lives outside Japan. Getting it from local shops means you will wait a month or two before it becomes available. You have to pay custom or state tax, etc. Which to the point that it's almost the same as getting it directly from a Japanese store shipped to our countries. But it's more the same once these items went above the MSRP then it's going to match what you're going to pay locally. However, do remember that Macross is not as widely backed-up by local distributors due to certain company that's preventing that. That's why when it comes to direct Macross, Mospeada, and Southern Cross products, you rather order it directly from a Japanese store than take a chance from a local distributor. Because by ordering it directly from a Japanese store, you know that you'll have a big chance of securing one. Unless it's under Robotech brand then just order it locally.

I'm not so sure at this point because you have to remember they were specific what the R stands for when they re-announced this line back in 2014. Not Lebuild Leboot Levival Lespect.

You're welcome @wm cheng!

Saluting Mr. Trebek.

RIP Mr. Trebek.

No. I just remember that the Strike/Super sets didn’t include the kite symbol. And I have a feeling that the TV Super color looks better in VF-1J than the DYRL color. I didn’t PO the TV set due to the fact that I just want my Hikaru DX’s to stay consistent thru colors. So I might do a custom kite logo or I’ll go ahead and PO a set from the upcoming 2nd batch.
-
There’s no official link yet except for the first sold out one.
-
Probably it's going to be the redesigned DX YF-21.
-
Well, we can all dream of that. Until then we're stuck with Hasegawa's half-breed TV SDF-1.

Thanks @505thAirborne @Chronocidal @F360
