David Hingtgen Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 That's what you get for thinking first. Gotta act, not think! Quote
johnkillingsworth Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 The first rule of Panic Club is to order first and ask questions later. Like "Why did I just spend $1500 when I need to pay rent in five days or get evicted?" and "If I get divorced does my wife get to keep half of my valkyrie collection?". Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 The first rule of Panic Club is to order first and ask questions later.

That's what I think too Quote
Sandman Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Well in a panic i just bought a 1/60 fire valk and sound booster for $145 and a 19S for $165. With that i bid adieu to Yamato, i have the hero valk and the S type for every series. Where'd you find the fire valk and sound booster for that price? Quote
anubis20 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Where'd you find the fire valk and sound booster for that price? Fire valk i got for $80 from a friend. It has been stickered and has a minor cosmetic defect that cannot be seen unless you are looking for it but for 80 bucks i would gladly take it. The sound booster i got it for $65 from ebay. Quote
DyNo Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Well I didn't want to be left out so now I have a VF-19F Emerald Force on the way..... and maybe a few more things Edited April 1, 2013 by DyNo Quote
Mommar Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Just checked, It is out of stock already. I just checked now, pre-order is still available... whether there will actually be stock is another thing completely. Quote
Arthurius Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 ok, where is the cheapest place to get the fire valk kai? Is it hkcollectibles, and if so, is that the cheapest price that they ever had, or did it used to be lower? Also, where can one get virgin roads nowadays (online store wise)? Quote
johnkillingsworth Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 HKC ticked up the price slightly on the unassembled VF-1S/A/J kits - they were HK$499 last week. The VF-19F is out of stock when I checked today. Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 My stash since January .... I think I'm hooked! Quote
Shaorin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 My stash since January .... I think I'm hooked! you should select a VF-19S/F next; i'll blow your doors clean off... Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 you should select a VF-19S/F next; i'll blow your doors clean off... Well I just completed my DYRL and I have been watching macross frontier lately for the 1st time and as of now is my 2nd favorite. I know they are the most expensive collectibles but I'm gonna start eventually once my wallet gets some rest.! Lol Quote

Lol Well they are re-issueing the VF-25F alto and pre orders starts on the 3rd I believe. Look at for those Edited April 1, 2013 by VF-Zer0S Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Yeah Well they are re-issueing the VF-25F alto and pre orders starts on the 3rd I believe. Look at for those Yeah I was glued to that thread last night but apparently it was some kind of April fools joke! Lol or something changed I dunno but I would like to start off simple with the frontier collection. We will see how long the preorders last! Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Me too and it was on the day off too lol. Hopefully I can get one early at 5 as oppose the waiting for 3 or 2 Quote

Lol i don't really care for MAC 7 at all, but it's -19S and -11C are among my top favorite Valks all the same... Edited April 1, 2013 by Shaorin Quote
johnkillingsworth Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Looks like the VF-17D is out of stock at HKC today. Still available at Angolz for $295. Both still have the VF-17D with fast pack. Quote
Kicker773 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Anyone dealt with HK collectibles customer service? An Item is missing in my package. Quote
plastik Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 their customer service has been top notch for me. they've responded to every email I've sent them in a timely manner and has issued me credit vouchers on a couple of occasions for a shipping mixup and cancelled orders Quote
Uxi Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Looks like the VF-17D is out of stock at HKC today. Still available at Angolz for $295. Both still have the VF-17D with fast pack. Blargh. Don't know how many times I had it in my cart this weekend. Quote
Kicker773 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 well I hope they respond soon.. Pretty big item missing in the box. I already knew something was missing when the postman handed me a box that should contain three items and not two. Quote
Old Man Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 well I hope they respond soon.. Pretty big item missing in the box. I already knew something was missing when the postman handed me a box that should contain three items and not two. Don't fret, Kicker. They'll take care of you. Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 i don't really care for MAC 7 at all, but it's -19S and -11C are among my top favorite Valks all the same...Yeah I'm with you Shaorin, I got the whole collection of macross movies/episodes and when I got to macross 7 , I was like .....ummmmmmm What in the.?!?!!?!?!?!! I could not even get thru one episode! Lol. And I tried! Just could not handle it. When I started my DYRL collection I was planning on collecting all the weathered editions but after my wife got me the Roy's vf-1s w/weathered Super packs I was pretty content to at least have one, but did not think it was worth getting the whole skull squadron. Besides I figured I could weather them myself after I pulled off my first Hase kit w/ MWChengs tips and tricks! I'm just trying to get a little more consistent with my airbrush before I work on my yamatos. Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Me too and it was on the day off too lol. Hopefully I can get one early at 5 as oppose the waiting for 3 or 2 any Idea on the prices??? Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Well the MSRP is 14,700 yen so somewhere around that price. Most Places when you preorder drop the price slightly, As long as its below 200 im fine. If not ill Just buy the YF-29 lol Quote
Mommar Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Wow, those plain 17D's seem to be totally out now. I hope I managed to secure that one at HobbySearch the end of last week. Quote
cyde01 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) caved into panic and bought a used yf-21 with fastpacks on ebay. probably not the smartest thing i've done but hey that's why they call it panic. the item was advertised as a "production sample" and did not come with a box or any kind of instructions or stickers, kind of a dubious claim but the guy had 100% positive feedback and i was desperate. as far as the condition of the toy it was advertised as in close to mint condition with the only issue being the yellow fin (head laser?) being bent. well, i received the package yesterday, and it looks like one of the tail fins broke off the hand and was glued back on. it seems like a very well done repair job as it didn't brake off again when i put the fastpacks on, but i'm pretty bummed. does it look glued on to you guys? or is it just a crack? another angle: the other side looks fine should i take this up with the seller? is it enough damage to file a complaint to ebay? Edited April 2, 2013 by cyde01 Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 well if it is a production sample, then you're kinda at your own idea of what its worth, Productions samples I've gotten in the past never seem to be perfect. It could have been glued by a Yamato employee. I'd say if you can verify it's authenticity, you have something unique. if it's just a plain jane release, I'd say complain. Quote

skullmilitia Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Usually just lack of painted details, and or a lack, or incomplete Tamp marking. Quote
