Duymon Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 I don't see a point in paying that much. That's like 2x their initial offering Quote

Matt Random Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Too bad they didn't include interchangeable red caps in the first place. Would have helped to justify the missiles being a separate set with a not insignificant price tag. Quote

You know it wouldn’t kill bandai to include an extra 6 caps in red, so to interchange between TV and DYRL. Wouldn’t dent bandai’s P and L one bit. Quote

Duymon Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks guys. I didn't care about the wrong color on the yammies because those missiles were pack-ins, but when having to pay for a separte missile pack I was irked :0 I used Mecha-Color Red from Vallejo followed by a satin coat. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 How hard were the tips to pop off? If they can be swapped around, I might just make myself a custom set of caps to snap on and off. Quote

jenius Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I think he just used the knife to get behind them and then popped them off. A cell phone repair tool would probably do the trick nicely also. Quote
canklebreaker Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 You probably right, I didn’t see that nub. Quote
Duymon Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Some are glued in really tight, other's popped off without a fuss. Just use a knife to open it and then a plastic wedge like the one you use from cell phone repair to oven them up. I have the mats to recast the caps but was too lazy haha. Quote
Vexxet Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 ugh. i found out about this figure (VF-1S) on the 5th of June. Now I read there was a release on the 12th? should I just buy the Nippon Yassan one for 350$? I was 6 years old when Robotech came out and then got Jetfire for Christmas. Also big fan of Battletech and Phoenix Hawk. Quote

Also big fan of Battletech and Phoenix Hawk. There was no release on the 12th, where and what did you read? This preordered started on the 06-03-19 JST.. its release date is in November. If you are talking about preordering the super strike parts. then there was a 2nd batch preorder started on 06-11-19 jst.. with a release date of 04-2020. I would say $350 is a bit high since the item is not even release yet. There will be some reopenings between now and release date. of course getting it in any of those reopening will depend on your lucky , timing and how fast can you place a preorder. I would say at release date or abit after you will have no problem finding the vf-1s at under $300. Quote

The preorders were gone by the 3rd and multiple preorders had popped up since then. I appreciate you letting me know it may pop up again. I will keep my eyes open. Quote

peter Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Has anyone else been to the Tamashii Nations store in Akihabara? I was there last year in November and they stocked a decent amount of Macross items for actual MSRP. I'll be going again this November, what do you guys think the odds are of finding a 1/48 in stock there for the MSRP. Quote
canklebreaker Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Would be good to know what you find, I plan on going again next April. Quote

I would say very low, the release date is somewhere in November, most likely closer to the end of the month Quote
jenius Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Did we get a firm release date on Max yet? I thought I remember that one being right at the beginning of the month but I couldn't track it down. Quote

NY has Sept 30, but that is probably just a place holder (they have Nov 30 for the 1S). Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 For those who ordered their DX Strike Super Parts at Anime-Export, in your order page, does the item release date says April 2020? I ordered mine June 7. Paid for it. And this is before the 2nd batch preorder was announced. And during the ordering process it wasn't mentioned that the preorder that I was doing is for the April 2020 release. Kind of dumb now because if I had only known then I should've preorder 2 for the April 2020 release instead of paying one now hoping that the 1 order I have with them will get released come December. And as their policy, they don't cancel TWE items. Oh well. Quote
