zulu Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Anybody in the US get theirs yet? Reason I'm asking is because I received a shipped confirmation from NY back on 12/24 and my package is still not here. I had chosen the ECO SAL delivery and I can see that it was dispatched from outward office on 12/25. Usually by now I can track my package to see if it made it through customs but I don't see it. Should I be worried and contact NY? Thanks Quote

Should I be worried and contact NY? Thanks I sounds like you chose Registered SAL, if you have a tracking number. Thankfully, I got my Isamu YF-29, purchased at N-Y and shipped ECO-SAL (no tracking), in a little over 2 weeks. However, to offer you some perspective, I bought a 1:18 GT Auto Pagani Huayra off a Chinese vendor on Ebay on Dec 18; it did not ship until the 25th and it just arrived yesterday, and unlike ECO-SAL, it had a tracking number and everything. SAL is unpredictable, and your package may have gotten delayed at the dispatch office or US customs, but you should be getting your Durandal within the next week or so, at least I hope so... I know how frustating it can be to attempt to track your package daily and see no updates for weeks. Edited January 23, 2014 by mechaninac Quote

Just so odd (to me) that one arrived weeks ago and the second just showed up today. Bears repeating that I won't use SAL again, regardless of any savings. -b. Quote
XFJ-01A Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 SAL should not be used because of the Anxiety it induces. I think the best course of action is to just pony up the little extra and go for EMS. You'll sleep easier. But in other news, my YF29 Finally arrived from my friend in Japan, sent it monday and arrived the thursday. I have a feeling Customs has my name on file because it only spent a day and a half there. They must probably know me since I have packages coming from mandarake and Amiami coming every month. Quote

close313 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Hey does anyone have a side by side picture of this and the 25A? The best i saw was antibiotictab's showroom picture. Want to see how close the beiges are to see if it will fit in my squad of 25A's. Was thinking of getting the Ozma variant to lead them but looks like it might be hard to secure one for now. Quote

They aren't close at all. I'll try to take one tonight but I can already tell you it won't fit. Quote
close313 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 They aren't close at all. I'll try to take one tonight but I can already tell you it won't fit. Dang, I really thought they looked close from the pictures. Quote
Mommar Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Dang, I really thought they looked close from the pictures. I have my Isamu picking off a shot just above my VF-25A in Gerwalk so it's easy enough to get a shot of them right next to each other. Their colors are easily discernible and they aren't a close match unfortunately. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Not a shot side by side, but they were taken under the same lighting conditions and camera settings so comparing them should be valid.The 25A has a greenish tint to it that is noticeably different from the light beige color of Isamu's 29.Edit: In addition, you can see them in the same photo in some other people's posts like the ones below where they don't look very similar together either. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34339&p=1098246 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=34339&p=1097940 Edited February 3, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote
bforbryan Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 @Macrossjunkie.. Your Isamu is so sick bro. Wish that was stock haha. Quote
close313 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 MJ's valks are always awesome O.O One look and you wont be able to look away. Thanks for the links man, now i can really tell that they're completely different. Quote
sreichma Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Looks Great with the 1/60 Isamu standing by it. Thanks EXO. Quote
Scream Man Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Exo if u ever make those little figures again, I would totally say yes! Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Some photos quickly made of ​​my YF-29 Quote
Dark_Ghost Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, a Starfury Mk I. A model kit by Revel in 1/72 scale. Quote
close313 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Why is there a sudden surge of this valk at mandarake? There's like a new (new & used) ones everyday. I got one as I couldn't resist the price and the idea to pair up with the YF-19. Quote

DyNo Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Seeing the price drop on them over the last few weeks, I finally jumped on one. Quote
Shukenzero Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Picked up a second one last week. No sloppy paint apps like the first. Quote
Major Focker Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 so what's the cheapest you guys have seen? 16k yen? Quote

EXO Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Exo if u ever make those little figures again, I would totally say yes! 1/60 Macross Plus Figures are 100 certain! Was trying to get it out before the 19 release but they moved it up and I have a couple of jobs I need to finish. Let's recreate!!! Quote
Gakken85 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Another for 160. http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1505353.html Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 1/60 Macross Plus Figures are 100 certain! Was trying to get it out before the 19 release but they moved it up and I have a couple of jobs I need to finish. Let's recreate!!! macplus weapons.PNG macplus sky.PNG Sign me up for one when they're ready. An Isamu reaching out for the sky or touching the YF -19 would be a must have in 1/60 scale. I was a little disappointed that the Isamu helmet off pilot would not be available from Arcadia. Your figures would sorely fill that empty void for me. Looking forward to them. Any chance on making a Sharon Apple? Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 A semi-transparent Sharon Apple floating in the cockpit? Quote

close313 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Just got mine today. Gotta say I'm not as impressed by it as I thought I would be. The beige doesnt look good in person. Especially since the whole valk is mostly and supposedly uniform in that colour but each component have different shade and finish of beige. At least it's much tighter -for now- than my Alto's 29. Quote
Mommar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah, it's an ugly, toy-like beige. It sure doesn't feel as high quality as the rest of the Bandai renewals. Quote
