borgified Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 Welcome back @Shizuka the Cat (even though it’s a short visit)! As for Mirage’s 31ax.. Looks can be deceiving, but safe to say for now the two 31ax are unfinished flop and it’s known if the upcoming release of Booger’s unit will be better than Haya Haya’s or the “Next Best Girl’s” version. It’s not too late to get Max’s 29 Full Set if your interested.

Though, now that I have baby to care for, I doubt I can handle pre-order madness like I used to.... but we'll see. I already see a few Macross toys that came out that I am interested in.... like Armored Parts for the DX Chogokin VF-1J. But, then I think about how I need to save for Valkyrie's college education, and I just sit there staring at the Mandarake shopping cart and can't quite bring myself to click the checkout button. SIGH

SIGH Expand Plenty of time to save, who knows, maybe your Valk collection can pay for her education (congrats, by the way). My wife and I used to trade off, she would go to bed at 9:00 and I would stay up until 1:00 AM for the "sew yeh" feeding, and she would get up for the 6:00 AM breakfast. Worked out great, I managed to finish a ton of video games.

Here's the thread for it. Don't mind the Megahouse Mylene in this pic as it's just a placement holder. The upgraded Alto 29 Full Set is the base to the Max 29 Full Set and get this... You can pre-order Max's 29 Full Set in the States and the upcoming HMR VF-0s, Just read the details in the thread created by @jvmacross . I'm sure that you will join in getting some of the newer Macross stuff that about to be released soon and your pics when you do get it!
rick.vale Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Finally got one of my holy grails thanks to @Chokinzoku81!! It's so amazing!
borgified Posted May 29, 2022 Posted May 29, 2022 Try this on for size and very useful around the kitchen if your cooking or into the Culinary Arts field. One decent good quality set will cost you around a price if a DX Valk. Read the reviews carefully and don’t go for the cheap bum sets that rusts/breaks apart/starts to chip away into pieces after a few days of useage.

That is a sick paint job! Wish I had the skills.

derex3592 Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 @sh9000 - Ohh man! I need that Alfa 8C and that green Volvo 850 Estate for my Top Gear Hot Wheels collection! 😄
Froy Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Just scored a terrific deal on amazon this weekend. Guess these sets are not that popular here in Mexico. Luna Lander came with 34% off and The Discovery with a whopping 25%
