Gakken85 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Very pink Got some rare goods in the mail today. Such a great deal Boxes are in good shape, Need to check the valks soon. * Happy to say these pieces are in impeccable condition. Boxes are crisp, and the Valks smell brand new. The wing slip covers are still there as well as the plastic stick tabs on the clear plastic. It makes me think these were never displayed as the boxes smell very faintly like they have been in storage. Really pleased with this purchase. I also have to say the Angel Bird is beautiful in person. The silver paint on the backpack exhaust, and the gold detail on the leg directional thrusters is amazing. Also button up shirt clips are perfect for opening landing gear. Rounded so it won't scratch, and just enough weight to pull Edited January 14, 2014 by Gakken85
Valkyrie addict Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Congratz! good haul! Agreed, the 1/60 Angelbird is very nice in person. I have to get some time to built the fan racer
YF-29 Durandal Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I'd rather they use the old mold and do the grey "moon-shooters" camo : Or "Black-Clouds" : Those Hasegawa kits looks more detailed than the old Yamato's. Thumbs up!
lancalot Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Look who arrived today!!?..Vf27b grace !!! The box all battered up but the figure is brand-new! It still even got the oil on top of the figure! and also included the sticker set for it as well , cause I know that they send that out after ... so that was good ... I forgot how nice the vf27 is... I just love it feet ! ...but it doesn't look good in robot mode , and it smaller then the vf171 ...look very small standing next to it ... It come with the prototype fold drive and it also include another pilot in blue , the gun is massive and the clip for fighter mode is intergrade into the body . the shield got the blade in it as well.....
YF-29 Durandal Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 How much does a green VF-27 go for these days? And nice applying of the Galaxy decals.
skullmilitia Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I got a Yamato Launch Arm in black for 50$ including DHL express shipping. I think that's a superb deal!
dapro Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I got a Yamato Launch Arm in black for 50$ including DHL express shipping. I think that's a superb deal! Where you get that?
skullmilitia Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Mandrake, I bought it a week ago, and got the payment request last night. It was 30$, plus 15$ for DHL.
lancalot Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I got it for 17 000Y which was half price because the box was totally water damaged , and the decal was already on there ... I didn't used the sticker set yet
Reïvaj Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 This is the first Bandai DX with an included sticker set I've ever heard of.
lancalot Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) yeah so you can make it either a cannon fodder or Graces' fighter 102 or 302 or which every you want Edited January 18, 2014 by lancalot
Reïvaj Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Oh, I see, that's cool. I don't own this version and hadn't seen anything about that in the reviews.
YF-29 Durandal Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 This is my latest purchase from Yahoo Japan.
Lorindor Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Found these on a local auction site. The box of the Queadluun-Rau had been opened, but the toy was in very good condition, and the figures were MISB. Best of all - low domestic shipping and no custom fees or extra taxes! So it only landed on the equivalent of $175 in total. Since the only alternative for me would essentially be the horrors of eBay, I consider that a steel.
happy_spike Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I love that Wedding dress and Flight Suit set! I shall be keeping a lookout for those for sure
Raya1823 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Damn, my pics won't load, but as soon as i figure this out, I will upload my latest treasue, VF-1S w/Strike Armor Roy Fokker ver (bbbwwwaahhhhhahaahaahh, the power, the power) Edited January 23, 2014 by hazray13

Be careful where you display the wedding dress figure...over time it ooooses some weird oils out of the plastic and the plastic dress itself becomes kindy slimy feeling..just FYI
xrentonx Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah...if that thing is vinyl, it can leach...thus the oozing Edited January 23, 2014 by xrentonx
lancalot Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) wow Nice haul sithlord!!! that nora look brandnew YF-29 Durandal how much you get it for? still on the fence about getting one .... Well a big thanks to Gakken85 I finally got a HT midas , keeping me busy until the new macross releases Edited January 24, 2014 by lancalot
Gakken85 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Looks great bro! Glad he flew across the pacific safely
GU-11 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Well a big thanks to Gakken85 I finally got a HT midas , keeping me busy until the new macross releases That, my friend, is a rather expensive way to kill time.
Lorindor Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Be careful where you display the wedding dress figure...over time it ooooses some weird oils out of the plastic and the plastic dress itself becomes kindy slimy feeling..just FYI Thanks for the information! Is it the same for the other figures in the package? Because I don't think I will actually display the wedding dress figure. I actually didn't know about the figures before I saw the auction. I never got the Q-rau before since I knew one of the releases had a pilot figure and thus was superior in my mind, but it was also the most expensive and difficult to find. But this combo was the better choice all along! Now I not only have a pilot figure, I also have an extra figure to display alongside the toy. Why don't the reviews tell you that? Were there ever a similar figure package for Max?
Valkyrie addict Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 There was a later reissue of the Millia Q-Rau that came with no pilot figurine. The Max Q-Rau comes with no pilot figure, the CM figure fits if you take the base and feet off. A bit off topic. Has anyone been having any issues with EMS shipping from overseas? My Arcadia Roy and Hikaru VF-1S took forever to clear NY customs, as well as several packages of fromjapan.com, they stay stuck in custom for a week and a half until they later get release and get delivered the next day, at first I thought it was due to the holiday rush but it's long over now and customs keep delaying my stuff. Might as well pick Registered Air Mail and save a few bucks if it's gonna keep taking close to two weeks to clear customs.
skullmilitia Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 It's just normal right now, USPS customs makes snails blush.
aaajin Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 My 2 x destroids & YF-19 FP arrived today! Finally, after 3 days of delay due to the weather conditions in minneapolis (schools & universities are closed today due to extreme weather)
aaajin Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Destroids are the best roids. Agreed! I wish I could battle this cold weather with the roidS !
pikashoo Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Be careful where you display the wedding dress figure...over time it ooooses some weird oils out of the plastic and the plastic dress itself becomes kindy slimy feeling..just FYI I thought I was the only one that had this problem but yes it can get real bad.
Raya1823 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 lookie lookie, see what i just got from the fabled Mandarake. It came sealed but is it really?? If it is, then I got a great deal.
SuperSenpai Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 lookie lookie, see what i just got from the fabled Mandarake. It came sealed but is it really?? If it is, then I got a great deal. VF-1S 1.jpg VF-1S Dyrl 1.jpg box sealed 1.jpg complete 1.jpg Was that the one listed for 8000 yen? Not in the market for a Roy 1S, but thought that was a great deal.
