Mac Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 I just purchase the DX Chogokin Macross Frontier VB-6 Koenig Monster SP version from anime-export. Do any of you have experience in what the typical shipping costs are to the US?

Your options are mostly limited until Japan Post kicks fully back into gear, so expect to pay something like $50-60 for DHL or FedEx, if not more.

Angesdad Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Threezero Berserker armor Guts just arrived. Very cool but I would have been happier if they didn’t forget a piece; Contacted Threezero CS and thankfully they’re fixing me up. Edited May 16, 2021 by Angesdad

I used to collect threeA their sister company before they closed shop and became their own thing. I think they're called Underverse now. Got sick of the bad QC issues and ridiculous wait times for them to produce the items they made you pay ahead for. Not sure how Threezero operates. Sounds like they're better.

Congrats on getting one, it's an awesome looking Valk and one probably never to be re-issued! On a side note for you VF-1A Cavalier owners, the light grey on the lower legs... would you say that is a Light Bluish-grey or more a light Cool-grey color similar to the 1/48 Low Vis Navy? Hard to tell as I do not own one... yet. Edited May 20, 2021 by 505thAirborne

I actually thought of painting them black with some small red accents to match the Valk
505thAirborne Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 19 minutes ago, Special Sauce said: Definitely a light blue grey Thanks @Special Sauce, much appreciate that. I have an old Yamato 1/48 that is getting the Cavaliers treatment and I wanted to get that color correct.
Special Sauce Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I'll take a close up pic tomorrow for you. In bed right now. So you can get a better look at it

Here is the color pallet that I used on mine, originally from Tekering On 4/1/2019 at 10:12 AM, tekering said: Stick to Japanese modeling materials. Having grown up in Canada with Testers, Humbrol and the like, I can tell you that Mr. Color and Tamiya brand paints are much higher quality (and considerably easier to use) than what's readily available in your neck of the woods... Unless you know your way around an airbrush, spray cans and masking tape is the way to go. This is what I managed to achieve this week, without the aid of an airbrush: On 4/1/2019 at 10:59 AM, tekering said: Edited May 20, 2021 by levzloi
Special Sauce Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 @505thAirborne Depending on the lighting it can look grey but it's definitely got some blue.
505thAirborne Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Thank you @Special Sauce for those pics, I'm going to keep those for reference with my build! Thank you @levzloi for that shopping list of paints. I found them online last night and ordered away! To everyone else on your newest purchases, congrats to you as well!
Froy Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 This dude just landed! Always wanted an Beast Wars Megatron. Almost bite the bullet with the MP but seeing a lot of complaints about quality issues in relation with the price changed my mind I'm quite happy with this one
