I didn't know Amazon sold used products. I hope if they item was used, it would be in the items description.

That’s what got me into this nightmare (besides this forum). I remember I searched macross and the forum came up. It was downhill from there for my wallet lol How dare you! I also tell this to myself at night! Quote
Anasazi37 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 15 minutes ago, vlenhoff said: Quick question: Are all items sold by Amzon Japan, new? I just saw a VF-1S Hikkie for ￥ 26,727. Maybe Roy's release caused the price to go down? Is the item new? I could not see anything in the description, but compared to current prices, that's a steal IMHO. 29,126 yen shipped to USA is pretty good IMHO. (yes, i did try to order it in PO day, but it was a disaster) When you're dealing with third party sellers, items can be used. At that price, it's *probably* new. Others have noticed a downward trend in price of the Hikaru 1S on AJ since Roy's PO. I just checked the Amazon listing and it says "43 new" and "2 used" at different prices. When you click on the listings, you can filter by new or used under "Condition" on the left side of the screen. You can also quickly see which ones are fulfilled by Amazon. Quote

weiser21 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 I haven't been mountain biking in a while. Too damn hot now in Texas. Definitely wouldn't do it on a couple hours of sleep. Quote
weiser21 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Who did the custom paint job? Looks like they did a good job! I'm scared to ask how much it cost. Quote

Slave IV Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Nice @sqidd! How is the paint? Does it look factory fresh quality? Would you do it again knowing the official version is coming now? Quote

Would you do it again knowing the official version is coming now? I still haven't cracked one open. I needed some sleep. Just woke up. Mountain biking got pushed off till dark because of the heat (we have lights, it's super fun!). I'm going to have to wake up a bit here before I start playing with toys. I feel like a zombie. Anyhoo, yes, I would do it again. I like having the DYRL Fockers and was going to use Yamato 1/48's as pseudo SDFM units in the display. So the SDFM DX's will work out perfectly. I secured DX's. And may as well have gotten them now opposed to a DYRL mystery release date. Who knows when that will be. We could have a meteor strike between now and then. Oh wait, I take that back. Last time I made a pandemic joke.......we had one! I may be a prophet. I think I'm going to start a religion. Who want's Kool-Aid? Man I'm tired. I can't believe I'm going mortician biking..... Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Dam it! I just went to mandarake and they had a vf-1j 355.00 USD. I pulled trigger cause I need one. Smh I gotta slow down Quote

We're even throwing in a Hikaru name for the canopy of the official Roy 1S. Quote

If I got them weathered then I would want all of my Valks weathered. And that is NOT going to happen. I really, really, really like the VF-0D PF's. But they do poke me a bit on display because they're weathered and nothing around them is. Also, the VF-1, especially the Skull One holds a ton of nostalgia for me. The clean cartoon look hits that spot better. Yeah, I'm a little weird. Quote

I have similar OCD about collection displays. I wish all of my Valkyries were weathered but that would be a nearly impossible task. Thats one of the great things about this hobby - there's no right or wrong way to do it! Quote
sqidd Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Group shot! Now it's time to convert some DYRL Yamato's into pseudo SDFM Fockers. Quote
