    I like the darker green. It goes really well with the shade of yellow. I think my only complaint besides the missing book-style box is the lack of the black & white Jolly Roger skull emblem incorporated into the armor. Maybe it could of gone on the shoulder missile pods or on one of it's leg armor?

    I would of have been happy with just a reissue and come out with a new DX VF-1 variant.

    I’m a little disappointed it doesn’t come in that book style box like the previous 1J release.

    I got my order today from Nin-Nin Game. DHL Duty Free shipping came out to $140. Did the original Arcadia release come with hard Styrofoam packaging? This one came in soft Styrofoam and didn't feel difficult to take out or put back into the box. There was also a warning sheet that was in both English and Japanese and I thought the manual would be dual language too but it was in Japanese only.

    I was surprised too about the mark down at launch. Even though it’s pretty bare in terms of accessories,, it’s still a great toy. The range of articulation and the poses it can make is impressive and the flat red hue they chose makes it easily stand out on my display case. The addition of a sound booster will make this toy even more unique. Maybe if you crack it open and play with it, you’ll feel less remorse about buying it?

    Wasn’t Max supposed to come out at the same time?
  7. rsvictor1976
    Are they shipping through DHL?

    Three more days until it comes out. I don't know if I'm more excited about this or the Arcadia SDF-1 reissue.

    It's been a while. Has anyone got any news on the Max and Milia release?
  10. rsvictor1976
    Yeah, Nin Nin Games reopened their pre orders too at their original price so I was able to get one there.

    It really depends on the subject. For example, I find more useful information about anime figures on Reddit compared to Facebook. If we're talking on the subject of Macross specifically: Macrossworld: Usually find the most useful information here. Facebook: A lot more shared media such as pictures of models, toys, etc. Reddit: I noticed more new fans post on Reddit than anywhere else to share experience and ask newbie advice. The mods are very prejudice against Robotech. Discord: The Discord channels I've been to just plain suck. Very little content where members just occasionally stop by to say hi.

    I've never seen a general retail release sell out on pre-orders like this, especially with the current tariff situation. I know the VF-31A was highly sought after when it first came out but I thought the demand would of have gone down by now going by the availability I see all the time on Mandarake. I wonder if the shops just didn't list that many as their stock in the first place?

    Are those stickers or water decals?

    Actually, I really liked the music they used in Badlands. I’m guessing they collaborated with the Hu as it does sound like them.

    It's been a while since I ordered from HLJ, but did they always charge a handling fee on top of their shipping? I don't recall that being the case before.

    I just saw the movie and thought it was good. It kind of reminded me of the 80s fantasy adventure films like the Conan films, Krull, and Red Sonja.

    The only difference I see is the new insignia and numbering from the original.
  18. rsvictor1976
    Either that or a newly wed collector who’s spouse is forcing them to sell their childhood.

    Buyee no longer takes PayPal Credit does it? With shipping and tariffs, this is probably gonna be a $500-600 purchase.
  20. rsvictor1976
    Has anyone got shipping confirmation from Nin-Nin Game for the SDF-1 reissue? If so, how much was shipping?
  21. rsvictor1976
    I still haven’t received any type of notice or shipping invoice from Nin Nin and I’m getting anxious.
  22. rsvictor1976
    I appreciate Mark H.’s transformation guide in his video.
  23. rsvictor1976
    Yes.

    I got mine today from Amazon JP. Shipping + tariff came out to be 11704 Yen, but I opted for the expedited shipping. They did lower the price on my pre-order to match the recent price drop, so in the end I ended up spending roughly $249 for the toy and shipping in total. I don't understand why Bandai would make the stand adapter for fighter mode into three pieces using these tiny pegs. I feel like they're going to snap off when I pull them off. Also, the pivoting gunpod handle that you're supposed to use in fighter mode doesn't work too well. The gun keeps wanting to snap into place so I can see why previous photos we've gotten show the gunpod in a weird angle.

    This has been an expensive month between this, the HMR VF-19P, the DX VF-19, and the tariffs.
