I want pics when you do!! haha Haha, keep your eye out for pictures to come...some day. LOL. The 1S and DX 31A are the two main items I missed out on from NY. 1S, I was too slow, 31A, I was way too slow/confident it would stay open for order longer. Quote

Man...I'm just bummed that my HS valk was busted, because that had your name on it at MSRP. Someone be on the lookout for my man @Slave IV and help a brother out!

Easiest and cheapest option with nothing to worry about for me. My only concern about this approach is what happened with the strike packs. For whatever reason, they just didn't forward any of the orders to Bandai before the window closed. Whether they knew there was a second order window coming or not, that delay in their process doesn't build my confidence that they'll be a reliable source. Quote

Just not in a hurry to do anything especially since the 2nd batch SSP sets will be delayed. 2 minutes ago, Chronocidal said: My only concern about this approach is what happened with the strike packs.

Funny you mention the two releases I have the most copies of... 3x 31A and 4x YF-19. Honestly I should probably sell at least one of each. Quote

I grabbed as many of the Bandai release as I could so I can spread the ordnance around all my Bandai valks. Quote

DewPoint Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I really wish I had the space available to collect in that manner. Spares are really peace of mind for breakage and ware. I like to handle things from time to time. Quote
That one dude Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 11 hours ago, Draykov said: There is also this from last November... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUgaeL_FnyQ& Yup! that's the same figures they have on display at Oshare Macross, so nothing new other than Movie Kakizaki has been confirmed for web sale. The one benefit being that they won't run out on pre orders. Quote

YF-19's quite an awesome mecha that it got both #1 and #7 spots simultaneously... Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Uhhh.. top ten mecha from Macross? I'm assuming that's the context there? I'm not going to argue with it taking two spots though. The technical reason is that it's in both the OAV and movie, but the YF-19 occupies multiple spots in my display space as well. Edited March 5, 2020 by Chronocidal Quote

Lolicon Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 That's surprising as I was under the impression that Macross Plus wasn't all that popular in Japan. Quote

borgified Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Just wait until the DX GBP gets released; theoretically that it might increase in price like Arad'a 31s when the Silpheed Armour was announced. Quote

Jetreo Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Decided to pull the trigger and start a VF-1 collection. Had some fun with the VF-1S. Really enjoyed transforming and handling this valk (it's kind of therapeutic). Looking forward to future releases, would love to see a VF-1D, VT-1 and VE-1! Quote
fenrir72 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Mein Gott! I never realized the awesomeness of this! (My first Macross Chogokin btw). Will transform him once I get my progressive lens from the optometrist tomorrow. Quote
