David Hingtgen Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 The coloring is REALLY good for a "weathered, mass-produced F-14". If only Hasbro's "Maverick" toy looked 1/10 as good...
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Any update on the release date for the Macross Zero Shin F-14?

ErikElvis Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I read on Facebook someone got their shipping notice. Not sure if it’s true. Hope it comes out soon.
ErikElvis Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Just now, Dobber said: Very much looking forward to this. Chris I know. I’m psyched. Don’t know why it interests me so much.
Rogueload Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Oh man that is so sweet! I can’t wait to get it and display it with the VF-0’S. Now if they could make a Mac Z MiG too that would be really cool!
Sanity is Optional Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Just got shipping notification on my totally not Macross Zero F-14.

sqidd Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 I didn't get mine yet. Did you get it from them or notification through PayPal?

ErikElvis Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Anyone aware how these were shipped? Slow boat?

They were probably shipped standard post (that's what the tracking # looks like to me). I expect it to take 2-3 months. That's how long it has been taking me to get stuff out of China. Well, toys that is. I have a few components for products I sell produced in China. I've been getting my shipments FedEx since COVID started. Shockingly when you're shipping orders that consist of 4-8 pallets the cost per unit of air shipping is really not that bad. Not much more than the slow boat.

Sanity is Optional Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Looks like mine just hit US customs, 8 days after shipping notification. Decently fast, especially given COVID.
Shawn Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Hi everyone, I'm asking you now to please limit any discussion of the specific Calibre Wings stock "CA72DC02 1/72 F-14 Low Visibility" on the forums here. This item has been specifically flagged by Big West and we will honor this notification the best we can. https://macross.jp/news/?id=1293 Please limit any 'well what about X and what about Y' products...we are not perfect by any means, but we TRY to point the site in the correct general direction. Lets leave it at that for now, most appreciated. You can discuss whatever you want via PM, I've no control over that, but please limit the public posts here. Thank you! The Management
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 A recent order I placed with Caliber Wings took nine days to travel from China to Los Angeles. I expect a few more days to reach me in Seattle, WA.
sh9000 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 My Mac Z 1/72 Tomcat “Shin Special” from The Flying Mule hasn’t shipped yet.
sh9000 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Why was the Calibre Wings 1/72 VF-1 thread locked?

Technically this topic ought to be moves into the sci-fi section with the other 3rd party goods topics. I thought it was because of this: "This item has been specifically flagged by Big West and we will honor this notification the best we can." So basically, an item that is not intended for the Japanese market is an issue for BW. So essentially, if some Japanese M0 fan (apparently not enough to have made some Japanese company come out with a diecast M0 F-14) were to buy this, BW is assuming CalWings would not provide any solution to a problem with the MacZ F-14. A problem overseas customers face everytime we make a Macross purchase. Since BW is now apparently concerned for all Macross customers, they can start insisting that their Japanese licensees start supporting overseas buyers whenever their valks break or come with wrong or missing parts...nah!!!!
