Got one from Nin-nin. 295 USD shipped via DHL but used my voucher and ended up at 274 USD. It was weird that it showed me Soon Available on the page of the 31AX but when I searched for Macross, there was an Add to Cart button on the image of the AX. Not sure if it was the same for others.

Nin-nin is back on "Soon to Open" status and will gradually raise the price, as per tradition.

Got one at Nin-nin for ¥33,000.

Okini still has it, shipping thru DHL worldwide: https://okini.land/en/23368-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-bandai-spirits.html

Ah you're right, I got my recon planes mixed up. I agree, hopefully they release TV Kaki and the rest of DYRL skull squadron.

Aww yea, got it confused with the Cat's eye. Yup would definitely need some budget planning

I made a list some time back of what is released and what I wish or think would be released: SDFM VF-1J Hikaru (done) VF-1S Roy (done, thanks) VF-1A Max (yep, done as well) VF-1A Kakizaki (expected but you never know) VF-1J with GBP (revealed, very sexy) VF-1J Max (more Max? yes please) VF-1J Milia (best girl, expected if 1J Max comes) VF-1D (coming soon) VF-1A CF (I will buy at least 2) VF-1D Virgin Road (always need more Max and Milia) VF-1A Angel Birds (gimme now) VF-1A Alaska Base (would be nice) VF-1A Cavaliers (bandai please…) DYRL VF-1S Roy (yes bandai, we need that movie head sculpt) VF-1A Hikaru (teased, I like) VF-1A Max (teased as well, i love) VF-1A Kakizaki (done) VF-1S Max (lawdy lawd, yes please) VF-1S Hikaru (done) VE-1 (mmmhmmm, gimme that 1/48 elintseeker) VT-1 (a 1/48 is always welcome) VF-1J CF (would be cool) Others: VF-1J Stealth (I need this) VF-1S Low Vis (maybe? jk I will PO this so fast) There might be some more, GBP for Max and Roy was teased and that'd be cool. Maybe a Minmay guard or Woodland color? I don't know if that is licensed. Blue Roses w/ Fast pack? Hell yea! What I really want is a no-paint version or kit based on this mold.

Meanwhile, TV Max prices has increased. I've seen it going for around 30-33K yen in YJA these past few weeks.

Nin-nin is now up as well: https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-hobbies-toys-bandai-premium/43408-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-macross-limited-edition-bandai-.html ...and now back to "Soon Available" status.

Yup, here: https://okini.land/en/23368-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-bandai-spirits.html ¥27000, bit of a markup but I never had problems with OkiniLand.

They seem to be good and haven't heard any issues with them. Someone from HobbyGenki also posts in this thread from time to time. Only reason I didn't order from them was they didn't have DHL/Fedex to my country (Australia), only JapanPost EMS was available but EMS to Australia is still suspended due to COVID restrictions.

Got one from OkiniLand: https://okini.land/en/23368-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fan-racer-bandai-spirits.html HobbyGenki is also up: https://hobby-genki.com/en/dx-chogokin/681-dx-chogokin-vf-1d-valkyrie-fun-racer.html but only showed EMS shipping for me.

I was expecting a DYRL 1A Max announcement, but this is a pleasant surprise!

I believe the guy just switched the 1J head with the 1A Kaki head and then photoshopped the red bits. Fyi, you can switch the 1J and 1A heads but not with the 1S as the neck part of the 1S is different.

Ah, this is the type of topic my wife wants to hear about as it will free up storage space. I'd choose a VF for each series (boring I know): Bandai DX VF-1J Bandai DX VF-1S TV Roy with Supers (to be released) Bandai DX VF-1S Hikaru with Strike parts Arcadia PF VF-4A FB2012 (to be released) Arcadia VF-19 Kai with Sound Booster Bandai DX YF-19 Full set pack Yamato DX YF-21 Arcadia PF VF-0S with Reactive armor Bandai DX VF-25F with Armor parts Bandai DX VF-31J with Super parts
