There's a lot of threads now regarding display stands. Here are some: Advice for display standshttp://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34669&hl=%20best%20%20display%20%20stand Lost and Found Toys now flightpose.comhttp://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32630&hl=+best%20+display%20+stand Yamato standshttp://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28936&hl=%20best%20%20display%20%20stand Are there any cheaper alternatives for stands?http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28557&hl=%20best%20%20display%20%20stand YetiStand Alpha http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41509 http://www.yetistand.com To be honest, I think ChaoticYeti really nailed how display stand should be just by checking YetiStand thread. With a lot of customization option. There's some numbers of stand there by Yamato but those are expensive nowadays. Atleast with Yeti, it can hold 2-4 VF-1 valks just by using one display base. You just need to buy some parts in order to do so. I haven't tried it personally (hopefully mid-year), but from what I've seen on his thread from other members, it looks perfect. Hope that helps.

Because it is real, Zaid. Almost everyone here knows NY's game when it comes to preorder and whatnot. But to be honest, I am a one happy NY preorder customer. I mean, PO pricing-wise, it's almost the same as every other stores. The downside is once you miss or didn't made the preorder time esp for 'hot' items, then basically, you're just going to wait for a chance of getting it from other stores who still offers initial price. If not, then last resort is to dive NY's post release increased prices. The good side in all of this is NY's 'pay later' option. You can just play the exchange currency first, wait if the Yen is low, then if you're happy with the conversion, pay it immediately. Either way, you're probably going to end up buying it from Nippon-Yasan upon release. Guaranteed.

Amen, Mommar.
-
Yup. That's why you shouldn't totally ignore Nippon-Yasan. Most of the time, they're the only ones that have exclusive releases. For example, the new Ichiban Kuji Sheryl and Ranka releases, you wouldn't see that in AmiAmi, HLJ, or other stores. Same thing with web exclusive Robot Spirits releases as well. Sometimes things you don't see in AmiAmi, HLJ, HobbySearch... you will find it in Nippon-Yasan.

In their language, somehow the word 'Variable' means 'Transformable'. And usually 'Model Kits' are 'Puramo/Plamo'. I only say that, because I seldom see the word 'transformable' on their toys/figures. Hence, Variable Action High Spec Orguss or Variable Action Ride Armor Mospeada. Unless Variable also means Parts-Formers as well?

Autumn 2015. Still have time to replenish and save budget.

Oooh. Great purchases guys! I want that missile effect, davidwhangchoi. -
I'm just saying since NY always have it upon the release date. That's why we always say that NY is the last place to go to after release date.

He already did last 2013. He posted it 4 posts above yours.
-
For sure! Where's Saburo? He should take photos of this.
-
Do we have a PO date for this one, evilcat005?
-
Can't wait for another tight-@$$ valkyrie. I transformed my VF-0D last night just from Battroid to Valkyrie for about an hour. So tight.
-
Awesome spanner!
-
Late May releases, usually ends up on everyone's doorstep the first week and a half or so of the next month via EMS. And that includes shipping. When and where are we going to see it during or after the release date, we'll never know. Some might pop up over Nippon-Yasan after the release date but expect the price to be higher.
-
Count me in! Hope it comes with SAP. Honestly, I can't complain right now. I'm just glad that another company is doing what Arcadia or Bandai is not doing it.
-
Just one for me jvmacross. Regarding TV SDF-1, since I have the Makurosu, I wish MM should do also a TV version of it.

Yup, that's the big difference from the last Yamato release and the upcoming Arcadia one. And right now, we're not sure if the "1" on the chest will be tampo printed or not. But rest assured it will still come with 'stickers'. To answer your question regarding Yamato value over Arcadia. Think of this way, Arcadia just started doing Macross 2 years (?) ago after Yamato folded and getting, most probably bought the molds from them. And the only 'new' molds that they did as of now is the YF-19 and the VF-0D. The only releases they did using the old molds are the VF-1S, VF-1J, and the ever-famous VF-19 with Sound Booster. And doing a lesser quantity producing it. Value-wise, to this date, it's almost the same with the other variants from Yamato releases. That's after-market prices. And we're just talking about the VF-1S Roy and Hikaru counterparts. Unless, you ask about the VF-1D, VT-1, VF-4G, and so on and so forth, then that's a different story. Those Yamato releases are very valuable from a collector's point of view. That's why a lot of us here wishes Arcadia to somehow rerelease those so that people who doesn't have a copy, or for new collectors, or collectors who still want to have another VF-4G in their cabinet, will get it at MSRP price. But either way, IMHO, any Macross toy releases, as long that it's not released by HG, is valuable.

Love the new photos, DarrinG. Especially the last two.
-
Impressive! Love the shots DarrinG. Orguss is lonely, MegaHouse. Release Olson now.
-
Yeah! That would be cool! Actually, I'm also waiting for VF-2SS as well. Let spanner lead the way. Count me in for 5 straps. Oh wait, 3 for 21. Then, I'll order 6.
-
Love this setup.
-
Ok. Guess I'm lame for having only 4. And that includes the upcoming VF-1J GBP. VF-1S Hikaru VF-1A Hikaru VF-1J Hikaru (probably will order the VF-1J The First head in the future for this unit) VF-1J GBP Hikaru (preordered) Well, I'm just focused on the red and black stripe motif so I think that's ok.
-
As of today's pricing and all, that $200 set is already cheap. 2 years ago, that same VF-1J without the GBP is selling for about $300-500 over eBay. So I'm thankful that Arcadia planned on rereleasing it even the 'goggles' is not grey like the first Yamato release.

Love the show. Started watching friday night and hopefully to finish the whole season over the weekend. But had some house chores to do as well. Anyways, hope to finish the rest of the 5 episodes for the next night or so. I just hope that Elektra would show up for the last 5 episodes even for a cameo or something. Here's to hoping.

Ok. From what I've noticed, it's a little loose. But not that loose. Imagine some loose DX Renewal crotch joints. Whenever you pick them up, it tends to plop a little until you fix it again when you try to pose him again. Then again, the DX is easy to tighten the joints because of those expose screws. The thigh joints on the Orguss, up to now I don't know how to open them up to tighten it. But will check it again soon.
