Sandman Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Hah, just got my payment request from N-Y. "This product will be soon in stock (Chogokin Hello Kitty)" They sent a correction right after for the YF-25. Still funny though. Yeah i got that too. Hope i don't need to worry about getting this instead of the yf-25. Quote
Sandman Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 My wife is already not a fan of me collecting valkyries. If a Hello Kitty showed up at our door, i'm not even sure how she would react. LOL! Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 We're all getting Hello Kitty, great, it's one damn expansive hello kitty! I just hope we're not getting that in our front door. One time I did received something I didn't order and I had to ship it back, and it was a mess receiving the shipping refund. Quote
Mommar Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 If I were getting a pair of DX Chogokin Hello Kitty Panties complete with stripper wearing them then I would be okay with this trade. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I got my NY notice too on the cute Chogokin Hello Kitty. Hehehe. Actually, still not sure if I'm going to get the Prophecy or not. But I don't want to get blacklisted on NY since I still have 2 P.O.s with them for later this year. Hahaha! If anyone (US residents if possible) interested to get this off my hand, PM me. It was an impulse buy at first but I decided later on just to get the valks I like esp if it has a Red & Black stripe thing motif. Anyways, PM me if ever you guys are interested, esp those who miss Pre-Ordering. Would sell it for the initial price I'm going to pay NY (item price + original EMS shipping cost). And will ship it to you for FREE (unopened NY box) with tracking (US residents). Just need to pay before June 19 (JPN time). Thanks! Edited June 9, 2014 by no3ljm Quote
Vagabond Elf Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Damnit, now I want a Hello Kitty valkyrie. Quote
Mommar Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Damnit, now I want a Hello Kitty valkyrie. Gonna have to custom one... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Damnit, now I want a Hello Kitty valkyrie. Not gonna lie, I would totally be down for a Hello Kitty Valkyrie too. For one simple reason; women LOVE Hello Kitty. From FL to MI 80% of the women I've, uh, met, like Hello Kitty. It still blows my mind because they came from all different demographics. So yeah, sign me up - it'll be a nice conversation piece to have when they come over and see my toy shelves. -b. Quote
sreichma Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Agreed. Could be a way to get chicks to dig valks. Quote
Loop Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 The hello kitty item was not a valk, but it was labeled as a Chogokin product. I remember when I saw it come up for pre-order, I was like huh what?!?! I wonder if any collectors actually pre-ordered it. Quote
ff95gj Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It is a "transformable" chogokin: walk mode, fly mode and swim mode. http://www.tamashii.jp/item/10609/ Quote
charger69 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Box designs revealed... Nothing special but looks nice Quote
Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It has a new hat..... I mean head. That looks pretty good..... I feel the urge of having one getting stronger and stronger. Quote
spanner Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 looks like there are still some pre-order spots still open at Nin Nin Game.. just a bit on the pricey side.. yeah pass.. http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-figures-pre-order/11250-macross-f-yf-25-prophecy-dx-chogokin-en.html Quote
ff95gj Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It is selling at MSRP on Amazon JP: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00IP3H7S2/ref=s9_simh_gw_p21_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=03D7A127NTXJ5N33BRH2&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=155416469&pf_rd_i=489986 I guess it would be more like VF-171CF or VF-27? Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I kinda do want one but I cant shake off the feeling that it won't be that hard to find after release anyway. Quote
spanner Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Box designs revealed... Nothing special but looks nice Box art looks ok.. follows the style of the other VF-25 range.. but.. box not important, only Valkyrie important! Yeah given up looking for an available pre-order.. (at a decent price anyways) I'll just take my chances after release.. Edited June 11, 2014 by spanner76 Quote
Shukenzero Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Didn't keep my PO with NY for it. Probably pick it up once it hits though. Shouldn't be hard to find at all. Let me know if anyone can't get hold of one and I'll see what price it is in HK Quote
mechaninac Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I was lucky enough to snag one off AmiAmi... guess all the stars lined up just right, because it surprised the heck out of me when the order went through and the confirmation email was received ; I doubt that'll ever happen again. At this point I'd stay away from Nin-Nin like they're plague carriers and just keep a sharp eye on Hobby Search, HLJ, and even N-Y around release time; one of them is bound to have some stock of this particular piece.

Yeah given up looking for an available pre-order.. (at a decent price anyways) I'll just take my chances after release.. I love Bandai's box art Way better than Yamato/Arcadia ones... OUT OF TOPIC Maybe the best one! Edited June 11, 2014 by charger69 Quote
mechaninac Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I wish Bandai would rerelease their VB-6 DX... I skipped getting it because I have the Yamato version (floppy, ungainly POS), but now I regret it a bit, but not enough to pay the going rate on those, like at plamoya.com. BTW, for anyone who doesn't want to take any chances after release, plamoya has the YF-25 up for preorder at MSRP, just look out for their shipping charges. Quote
sreichma Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I love Bandai's box art Way better than Yamato/Arcadia ones... OUT OF TOPIC Maybe the best one! Agreed, i have the SP version box displayed on a floating shelf in my foxhole. Quote
TaikoD Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Box designs revealed... Nothing special but looks nice Looks like Hikaru's first flight suit when he first arrive at Macross SDF-1 lunching day.. or I might be wrong :0 Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 looks like there are still some pre-order spots still open at Nin Nin Game.. just a bit on the pricey side.. yeah pass.. http://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/japanese-import-figures-pre-order/11250-macross-f-yf-25-prophecy-dx-chogokin-en.html Plamoya is cheaper: http://plamoya.com/en/dx-chogokin-yf25-prophecy-p-94580.html Quote
charger69 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Looks like Hikaru's first flight suit when he first arrive at Macross SDF-1 lunching day.. or I might be wrong :0 Sounds right but a more accurate reference here YF-16 Edited June 11, 2014 by charger69 Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 :X Me wants but that blue strip is annoying me abit. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) :X Me wants but that blue strip is annoying me abit. There is a better version colour scheme out there. Edited June 11, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 There is a better version colour scheme out there. This picture has showed up alot in this thread haha Quote
master of macross Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 but it appears in some scenes of the first movie? Quote
ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Question. Whats the difference between YF and VF Quote
close313 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) YF designation is supposed to mean that it's a prototype valk. Edited June 11, 2014 by close313 Quote
Saburo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I am looking forward when this arrives, I want to see how much detail they put into the head design. Quote
master of macross Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 the only screen appearance in the movie "the false diva" Quote
