Agent-GHQ Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I'm already discouraged at the retail price alone from the get-go! Not that I dont have the money but exchange rate is horrible. I guess you can't have one special promotion without the other!! I doubt people are still buying!! Quote
moose Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Speaking of sales does Amiami have any deals for the holiday season be it shipping or product Quote
pud333 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 HLJ has another Macross sale on. Anyone from Vancouver BC wanna do a group buy? haha. Quote
AcroRay Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I can't even get on their website. Wonder if the Macross sale crashed their server? Quote
eugimon Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I don't see a macross sale, just the shipping sale Quote
Savvi Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Here's where you can find the Merry Macross Sale : D This may make a great Macross gift thingy: Macross Frontier Girls Mini Mascot: 1 Box (10pcs) Quote
jenius Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fire valkyrie on clearance already? That's not a particularly good sign. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Looks like a pretty good sales. They have the 1/60 YF-19, VF-11B, VF-11C all on sale. Anyone see any decent "fillers" from the special campaign item group? Not sure if I want any of those items. Quote
pud333 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Too bad I don't want a 22S. All I want right now are some stands and the 11C. Not sure if I should jump on this now, or just wait longer, since I don't quite have the funds right now and I don't like carrying balances on my credit card. Quote

The 2,000 yen shipping rate will be charged per box, not per order. Example: If a large single order must be shipped in two boxes, the total shipping charged will be 4,000 yen (2,000 yen x 2). Please note that we cannot make estimates about whether particular orders will fit into a single shipping box, or provide details on our various box sizes. For very rough estimate purposes, the largest shipping box the postal service will accept measures 82cm x 57cm x 44cm, and can weigh up to 30kg. These limits are lower for some countries. so, i guess, just be careful... fwiw, i hope the exchange-rate gets better before this current Macross-sale ends. or i may have to wait for their spring-2012 sale instead.

Agent-GHQ Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 For those that owns the SDF-1 1/3000, will it fit in the EMS box (82cm X 57cm 44cm) and a VF-1 1/48? I hope there's more room for a few 1/60s too?? Quote

[...] As far as I can see the only three Macross related products eligible for the EMS-sale are the Yamato1/60 VF-22S Sturmvogel II Max and Miria and the Yamato1/3000 SDF-1 Macross Transformable. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/specialsale/?Count=96&DisplayMode=images&randstr=rp3209k9 Quote

I don't know about a few 1/60's, but at least one should fit. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 ^ Thanks Pud333..... Now I hope its still avail by the cut off date Dec 22 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 VF-11B is very tempting, but I'm still holding out for a different scheme. (like Milia'S or VFX-2) Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Thinking of getting the Katejina figure from them, which leaves some budget for something else. I was thinking of getting one of those 1/100 VF-25s, but the Grace VF-27 is tempting. Any opinions on that kit, or should i just get the cheaper non-tranformables? Quote
anime52k8 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 That's almost a price I'd be willing to pay for a VF-22S, but I tried to transform my YF-21 recently, and it's kind of a mess. I don't really feel like paying more than $100 shipped for a second one. Quote

ps99042 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in". Had to buy a 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J to finish my display and couldn't resist the 1/60 Angel Birds. Some pretty good deals are to be had. If only buying display space was as easy as buying the actual toys... Quote
antilles Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 So any idea if this is indeed one of the safe Vf-1J Hikaru's on sale (shoulder wise)? Also anyone with both a Vf-21 and Vf-22 1/60 feel the differences are enough (any?) to warrant having both? Quote
myk Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Got a question also: if one were to buy the Super/Strike parts set, is that set compatible with any of the V2 VF-1 1/60's? Quote
Dobber Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Fire valk is tempting......just hate that Red scheme though. Lol Chris Quote
Raptor One Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Looks like I'll be picking up a Max 1A or 22S. I need a Max valk, Masterpiece 1J doesn't count Quote

Also anyone with both a Vf-21 and Vf-22 1/60 feel the differences are enough (any?) to warrant having both? I bought a VF-1J from Amiami a few months ago. I had the clear canopy and new hip connection, so it was all good. I know they released new waves of the VF-1J, so I assume HLJ has some of the new ones. Take that for what it's worth. Picked up an 11C last night. About time I had that valk. Edited December 17, 2011 by pud333 Quote
takatoys Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Damn it! I got my HLJ account suspended. I forgot to pay for an item and now can't get my account back. It's been 3 days already with no response from HLJ. Should I register a new account? Quote
Vi-RS Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 very tempting, but having hard time finding the filler. Quote

I gotta say I they do look good in fighter mode but battroid still disappoints me since I never trust the legs to stay in place. If I could do it over again, I'd only only get a 22 if I had extra money during this sale as I'd rather scoop up one of the other awesome deals instead. Quote
