This is the DX VF-31J Super Parts, right? The answer to that probably is because they already charge us when we first order it since this is a Pay Now item. So basically, we already paid the product and the shipping cost for it. That means they already charged our credit cards. Adding an item to said paid order means they have to cancel the initial credit card charge and by doing so, they might pay cancellation charge on the credit card company. (Not 100% sure but we're have no idea how that works abroad. Not all countries have the same process.) And one thing also is that it's always a hassle to do this cancellation kind of transactions so that they can just add an order. It's probably at minimum cost but by doing all the process is really a hassle esp if they're just a small shop company. Now, in return they might ask us if they could charge us the cancellation fee to our credit card, and by doing that, most of us might react like why they need to do that. And of course most of us here will be pissed off since we're already paying in advance and then now they have to charge us for cancellation fees. Yes, they can probably try and do those cancellation things but do remember that it's not always easy to do so.

I wouldn't agree on that because once those Space Pope transformed to Battroid they're going to have mouths on their forehead. No worries sir. I already have a DX Keith on preorder.

Hard to say really. It was already mentioned before on the VF-0S thread that Mr.K of Arcadia expressed that he wants to revisit SV-51. But his reply mentioned IIRC is it depends on Arcadia since it's the company decision whether to make it or not. And also involves rights issues. Don't only check eBay for Macross stuff. You can check Jungle. They have a few used SV-51 figures since some of the high priced items at eBay are used as well. Just saying.

But. Was there any third party attempt of a Macross toy besides the SD Makurosu?

Would love to see a DX one of this as well. Though they did have a Hi-Metal prototype before so hopefully they push that one through since their HM-R line is doing well.

^ Probably.

That was still my order from the last reissue. The one with the wrong shoulder armor tampo. I just left it there just in case it pops up. I'm not in the market for one right now. But I'll gladly get if the HLJ order went thru since it will be new, fixed tampo print, and MSRP price. True. And you don't know which version you're getting too.

Congrats then.

Then, it was you. Somebody must've cancelled one.

^ And gone. Spanner... was it you?

Yeah. I think the /A still meant ADVANCE. Those shoulder bit should be up to the shoulder joint pivot like in the DX figure. Hasegawa's has it more longer.

Are you asking Bandai DX or Arcadia? If it's Bandai, we're not sure if they will since they always focus on what's new series for their DX line. Whereas with the HM-R, they started with the original SDF series so there's a chance that we might see old series more on the HM-R line. Now, if you're asking for Arcadia, we're not sure too, but there's a chance too that they might reissue the old YF-21 or they should revisit it just like they did with the YF-19. The only concern we have with Arcadia is that we don't know what series they still have. Depending if they still have rights for it.

We'll see sir. If Max's VF-1S Bundle will get released by Arcadia in the future then your Hikaru will not have its own S/S Parts. That's why you have to get the Hikaru Bundle now. Or... you can probably just loan Max's set to Hikaru since we didn't see Max 1S with the packs on during the DYRL movie so it's not canon to have S/S Packs on him, right? That's the spirit! Pay Now. Worry Later.

Good catch, right?!

Support! For...

So I got an email from HLJ stating that they've been unsuccessful on attempting to get stock for the Alto's DX YF-29 order. And that they also contacted the suppliers, and that there are no plans on producing it in the foreseeable future, at this time. So they removed it from my order list. This order has been in my order list before it went discontinued. Please advice for people who kept this in their list might be surprised to see that it's not in their order list anymore.

You're right. I didn't notice the leg missile pack on Skypoet's post. Legs looks beefier that way.

GOAL!!! Thanks Skypoet! I have to admit I kinda like this wing instead of the rotated one. Looks menacing. How I wish the DX Version can balance like the Soccer pose you did.

Well, I think it's more like competing for attention since Bandai's putting a lot of Macross stuff lately even if it's just an HM-R line. So they still want the people to know that they still exist. Yeah, I agree that the announcement of Hikaru VF-1S is expected and for sure they're just doing this slow releases strategically even if they only have a handful of Valk to release. Let's hope that they will announce next Max and Millia's VF-1J Supers if they see that there's demands after Bandai releases Millia's. Let's just hope that they still remain afloat so that they will still release or reissue those hard-to-find-rare-Valks that most of us doesn't have one yet. Esp for newcomers.

No. It's guys like me that helps Arcadia to stay afloat.

A 3rd Arcadia Hikaru for me.

I'm in for one. Hoping that it's the same price as Roy's or lower. Though I wish they pushed back to May or June since I PO'ed 2 Reactive Armors for March. You know, just to have a breather. Hahaha! Surely Arcadia wants to go head to head with Messer's DX VF-31F release on April. It's nice also if they don't tampo 001 on the figure so we can use 011 for the VF-1A head later on. But yeah, I was hoping for Hikaru's VF-1A first since I already put a Strike Pack to my Arcadia Hikaru.

Thanks for sharing more insights about this. I just need to find time so I can start doing to planned panel lining and applying decal stuff. Really? I've been paying most of my web exclusive preorders at NY ever since they implemented that rule including the recent DX VF-31J's Super Parts that I ordered from the first day they put it for preorder. Lucky you I guess for getting that 'Pay Later for this product is Available' option. Anyone else here got the 'Pay Later' option for the DX VF-31J Super Parts? Let me know so I can complain to NY coz I already paid for it.

I'm not so sure what's the exact answer to this. But all I know about myself is that I'm just probably forgiving for this kind of things. I mean, nothing is perfect. Even for things that are so expensive, it's still not as perfect. There will always be some flaw about it. Why am I so forgiving about Arcadia? Probably one reason is that no other company yet is making the same thing that they're making. So there's no way to compare them with other company. Except for that one rare thing which is the VF-19 Advance. Meaning there's no competition for that specific scale with the same Macross series. I know they're just tied into the old series and maybe some few that we don't know but not the current series. And that for me is ok. Let's say they got the color shade wrong. For me, I'll just ignore it since there's no one making the same thing that has the right color. So might as well swallow my pride and just get it. We can still sell it afterwards if there's better one out there that's coming out. Regarding price. Yeah, they're expensive as is. But that's how it is. And Bandai is following suit as well. Not as much as Arcadia but you know they're getting there too. Just compare the MSRP posted on the Tamashii page for their Macross stuff (DX VF-31's). It's not as it used to be. Arcadia, I will understand more because they're smaller company than Bandai. Bandai has lots of budget to pay for rights, producing stuff, etc. Whereas Arcadia, they have to take it out on us as well... probably. I guess, that's another reason too why we pay more. But yeah, even with their current price, I'll still stick to my 2 Reactive Armor Set order.
