Got an email from Otacute stating my preorder for the RVF-25 is ready to be shipped. Strange thing is that i'm pretty sure that i didn't place a preorder with them especially since i got one from N-Y. The only thing i can think of is that i clicked on the wish list button (or the Otacute equivalent ) back during preorder time and they gave me one from a cancelled preorder? I bought it anyway. For $128 dollers you can't go wrong. Just wished i didn't pay N-Y scalper prices for my first one (still haven't got it yet).

I already have 3 but that price makes me want to buy another one. What is wrong with me?
-
Wow how did you get the fast packs on so well. i can't ever seem to get the fast packs on right.
-
I didnt even know you could take the intakes off for the bandai dxs.

What does a wooden closet do?
-
Hmmm... I cant see it. Any chance you can circle the location the crack is?
-
Usually with ny i get ems shipping with my first valk and downgrade to sal for each duplicate i get. Strange thing is somethings they come in on the same day.
-
Personally i think Yamato should have released the dyrl Vf-1a hikaru and max types with swapable vf-1s heads rather than sell them as a separate valk.
-
Nice. haven't seen one that nice before.
-
Took out my vf-1a hikaru 1/60 ver 1 last night so i can decide if i should sell it to fund future purchases. Moved one of the arms and the shoulder joint started to crumble and bend rather than move. LOL i guess i won't be selling this one.
-
I've always wondered that myself. I joke that its used for space whaling.
-
I've only had yellowing occur on any of my v1s. Both times was with hikaru's vf-1 dyrl. I've always chalked it up as being the first v1 release. Amusing enough the only other valk to yellow on me was alto's v1 vf-25 dx. Something about red and white valks that are the first release of their v1 line.
-
I think it's mostly because the 171 isn't as popular as the other hero valks. I'm betting the vf-25f reissue is going to be scarce. Not sure about the RVF-25 though. It'll be interesting to see how well that one sells.
-
Awesome pictures. I didn't even know the shoulder's opened up like that.
-
Exactly. Well said. -
Yeah life is exactly like that <rollseyes>.
-
Well aint that a kick in the teeth. I bought 3 at ny mark up prices.

I find this show frustrating. The protagonists never accomplish anything. Not only do they die but they die horrible deaths. Aside from Jamie, non of the antagonists ever get paid back. Even then they played that out sympathetically for Jamie. Strangely I can't stop watching. I just hope some of these guys get paid back in a satisfiying way.
-
They will. I'm sure of it.
-
Honestly to me $140 is way too much. It'd have to be at least an awesome color scheme (eg low viz ver1) for me to spend that on a fast pack less vf-1 that isn't rare.

The retailers i found that have bad customer service are N-Y, Mandadrake and jungle. All for different reasons and all of they rude and insulting. No issues with Amiami or HLJ (so far). Angolz actually had good customer service. N-Y is the worst. I have had over 3 issues with them. They don't even respond to emails have the time. Mandarake pissed me off. I tried paying for something from them and their site wouldn't allow me to pay for some reason. I asked for alternate payment option to get them their money and they cancelled my order and sent me an insulting email stating "be careful before deciding to place an order next time if you are not willing to pay". That made me so mad, the problem was on their end. Jungle is usually good but one time i scored some fast packs for $30. Then they cancelled my order for no reason. I sent an email asking what's up. No response. Emailed 5 more times - no answer. Finally get a response after i sent an email stating i'm not going away stating that i have 5 days to pay before the order gets cancelled. It worded very rudely too. I call Bs as it was only a day since i placed the order. I think what really happened is one employee decided to take the item for either himself of his friend. The email response i got when i initially ordered it was different from the norm> I remember thinking it was weird and not consistent with how they usually respond to orders. I saw that response in a recent order as well. Once i saw it, i paid for my item right away as i figured the same thing was going to happen. Usually i wouldn't deal with these kinds of people but unfortunately they have us macross collectors by the balls. The only one i will be able to drop is N-Y. After the vf-25s is re-released, i will never order from them again. Looking forward to that. Bad customer service needs to be re payed with loss of customers. Considering the amount of money i've spent at N-y in the last 2 years, they should be worried about losing a customer like me.

OMG a preorder that still available at both HLJ and Amiami. LOL! Amiami site lists it as 10th anniversary. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross 1/60 Kanzen Henkei VF-1J Valkyrie Macross 10th Anniversary Color Model(Preorder)
-
Well to put it this way, if it wasn't for the hard to preorder dx valks, i wouldn't order from NY. Once the reissue of vf-25s comes out i'll be officially done with NY. I look forward to that day.
