Valkyrie Magnus Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Not Macross but for me it's still awesome! KFC Citizen Stack and it's huge. Edited April 24, 2014 by Valkyrie Magnus
no3Ljm Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Once again, great purchases guys! Oh man!! That's the one I'm still missing. Must find...soon. True. I didn't know also that this one will be so in-demand. Good thing my sister helped me getting this one. i have three of them. two grey goggle, one with armor, one stand alone grey goggle, and one 30th hikaru, like yours. great sister! Cool. I really envy members who have multiple valks. Hehehe. I wish my sister will find me next a GBP Armor for Hikaru's 1J. the 30th tv hik is a great one Thanks. Can't wait to hold it. It will take months first before I get this. Hehehe. Hello all, I haven't posted here in a while so I figured i'd make up for it. lol. So we now have a 1/48 and 1/100 Hikaru VF-1J, the QF-200D-B Ghost, and Luca's Ghosts "John, Peter and Simon" Great Hikarus! How's the Hi-Metal VF-1J? Is this highly recommended for playing? Now, I need to check Jenius review over anymoon. Edited April 24, 2014 by no3ljm
Mommar Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Great Hikarus! How's the Hi-Metal VF-1J? Is this highly recommended for playing? Now, I need to check Jenius review over anymoon. I have both the Hikaru and Max 1J's. I think in terms of Battroid playability it's the best 1J out there. Highly poseable and fun. Because of the nature of the transformation (parts-former) and the fact I feel like the Gerwalk and Fighter modes don't look very good I only keep them in Battroid though.

Wow, yeah same thing happened to me a while back, jumped on two VFs (v1) but were already sold out. Well I guess I cant be too jelly, I did find this.... http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-789851.html Good luck again, lets hope these things are still in the storefront, lol

Lucky you. You beat me to it. Hahaha! *sigh* One thing is clear for sure... it's not for me. Oh well, time to save for that DeLorean car that comes with a Flux Capacitor.
Gakken85 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Nice! A mean looking Gojira! It's from GMK. He's possessed by the dead soul of Japanese troops that died in ww2. One of my fav Godzilla films
Valkyrie addict Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Mean looking Godzilla!! great! My last big Macross Haul for the time being, there's suppose to be a v2 VF-1J Millia and Arcadia YF-19 that USPS was consistent enough to loose me the two separate packages back to back. Just concentrating now on getting a replacement YF-19 safely and pretty much stop for a while unless I find an extremely hard to beat deal. Got all of these from Yahoo Japan 1/144 Armor - 66.80 VF-X - 176.77 VF-1A with GBP-1S (loose with no gunpod, armor hands and feet extensions) - 166.45 VF-1D assembly kit - 97.12 SDF-1 (used, stickers applied) - 320.65

Gakken85 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Good stuff. That would suck to lose a milia
Raya1823 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 HA-HA!! Just picked up my VF-1J no-paint kit from the PO. Thank you Valk009 for looking out for me. Now I'm only missing a v2 1/60 VF-1J Hikaru. I've already started the build, with the most important part first, of course, lol.
Mizicke5273 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Got a Yamato Fold Booster and YF-19 Armor set. It was listed on ebay as Buy It Now for $80 shipped and I decided I didn't want to pass on it. The Fold Booster looks good on the Arcadia YF-19! Might put the armor on my Anny YF, haven't decided.

no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Great purchases everyone! Arrived today from Mandarake: VF-171Ex with Armored Parts and VF-25F Super Parts. Too bad VF-25F didn't make it today. Will see him on Monday.
abbadon Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 How are the VF-25F Super Parts? I'm also thinking of getting one from Mandarake.
Scyla Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 How are the VF-25F Super Parts? I'm also thinking of getting one from Mandarake. From jenius: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=6007 From Veef: http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2012/vf25s_ozma_lee_type_super_parts_renewal_version

no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) How are the VF-25F Super Parts? I'm also thinking of getting one from Mandarake. Based on Jenius and Veef's review which Scyla posted above, I'm sure it will be great. From what I've seen so far with the parts when I checked the package, it really looks impressive. But I haven't tried it yet since I'm still waiting for my VF-25F unit which hopefully it will arrive on Monday. My only regret is that I just decided to get this now to complete the Red and Black stripe scheme Valks, so it's really quite expensive. I also wish for the Armored Parts, but looking at some site, it's almost the same price, if not, more than the price of the VF-25F Renewal base unit. I just hope Bandai will reissue the Alto Armored Parts. Sorry! I meant the condition of the item from Mandarake. Oh, the condition? Well, it looks ok for me. There's some area that needs cleaning like sticky surfaces. But it's not that biggie. So I cleaned it up with damp cloth with a little mild soap and wipe it with clean cloth. Hope that helps. Edit: The one I ordered, it says Used and has some minor tear and shelf wear on the box. As long as there's no damage inside, I'm happy. Edited May 3, 2014 by no3ljm
no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Wow good to hear that! Thanks! No problem. Glad to be of help. Mabuhay!

Then something grey or tan creeps in and suddenly you got another 10 variants to chase ! Happened to me ! LOL Edited May 3, 2014 by Dimis
no3Ljm Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) "Complete the Red and Black stripe collection", is starts that way ! Then something grey or tan creeps in and suddenly you got another 10 variants to chase ! Happened to me ! LOL Hahaha! That's true. Technically, I just said to myself I will just buy Hikaru's main Valks except for the VF-1D and VT-1. VF-4G is getting expensive and I don't like it at first but it grows into me esp in fighter mode so I'm just waiting for a reissue/renewal. Got lucky, extra budget-wise, when the Isamu valks (YF-29 and Arcadia's YF-19) went available for P.O. And I kinda like the trend that I'm going since they're all red and black. (Now I wish Isamu's valk is colored off-white too. ) So I decided I will just buy those scheme and as long that I like the valk designs. Buying or completing this toy line (transforming 1/60 scale) is really that expensive. And for its size, it really takes space on working table and cabinet. Too bad I started late on the Macross F line so I paid after market prices even though it's posted in mandarake (super parts). So I grabbed as much as long that I won't go over my budget. And since I already purchased almost all the Red and Black stripe Valks that I like, I guess I'm all set. Just waiting for the release on the YF-30 Chronos. The only exemption on this planned scheme is the VF-1J Hikaru (still with my sister); if Arcadia will reissue VF-4G in FB2012 color or even the default color (VF-X game?); and if Arcadia will do a renewal of YF-21, which I doubt it will happen this year. Hehehe. That's it. Edited May 4, 2014 by no3ljm
