ErikElvis Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Glad I’m not a huge Roy fan. One is good enough for me. I’d rather have doubles of max and kaki. Quote
Paco Grande Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Do you any of you expert predictors have any idea if / when Bandai will spring a DYRL Roy on us? My thinking is that it will be a DYRL Max 1A or a TV Kaki 1A next. Although we just had a 1A release recently so maybe another 1J? I'm trying to stick to DYRL releases only but Roy is my favourite so I'm torn on trying to get the TV release (if I can). Also if they release a TV Max or Miria 1J I would be very torn as well. I only wanted to get 4 DX VF-1s but I have a feeling I'm going to need another display shelf...... Quote

However, if they just released the TV Roy (in a month), I would be surprised if the next announcement included DYRL Roy. I wouldn't be shocked to see it on display in a week or so at the Tamashii event, but my guess is that the next announcement would be YF-21 and either DYRL Max 1A or Hikaru 1A. Quote

Considering that they did not even do a TV VF-1 Roy for the hi-metal R line,.. they could very well not even do a DRYL ROY for this line If they do, it might be in a year or 2 later........ Quote

I only wanted to get 4 DX VF-1s but I have a feeling I'm going to need another display shelf...... I'm hoping for Hikaru VF-1A just to round off my Hikaru DX. And no, no plans on getting his VF-1D and VT-1. I'm just happy with his White VF-1's. But let's predict based on how Bandai releases it: SDFM VF-1J Hikaru SDFM VF-1A Max DYRL VF-1S Hikaru DYRL VF-1A Kakizaki SDFM VF-1S Roy My gut feeling tells me that if they're going this route of 2 Valks per each. Then the next Valk I can think of from SDFM is between Kakizaki's VF-1A or Hikaru's VF-1D. After that it's back to DYRL with VF-1A Hikaru and VF-1S Max. I'm definitely sure one of these is TWE release. And Roy's VF-1S DYRL is going to be the last to close the series after another SDFM release. What do you guys think?

Hmm...I would think it would be the VF-1A Max before the 1S (if ever the 1S) because they already displayed him. But the reasoning overall makes sense. Another SDFM totally works in the scheme and even what they hinted at. I hope it would be Kaki. https://macross.jp/news/?id=1334 Quote "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Macross F, Macross Delta DX Chogokin & LIVE Information Zentradi Special!" Delivery is decided! ... Not only DX Chogokin, but also "Macross Delta the Movie: Absolute LIVE !!!!!!" will be approaching! It looks like SDFM, Frontier and Delta will be showcased on Nov 6th. I don't see DYRL on there so it makes sense. And it seems based on the wording that they'll do a live reveal of something Zentradi based like they did a live reveal of the TV Supers. I predict at least one TWE that will go on PO immediately following the announcements at 20:00 JPT 11/6 and then a regular release(s) Monday at 16:00 11/9 or 11/16.

Slave IV Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I'm guessing there will be at least three other VF-1 releases before DYRL Roy. Quote

F360 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 the local price does seems to be dropping somewhat Therese some right now on amazon.jp that will only ship only in japan. 24,278 yen and some at 25000 yen. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Chogokin-Dimension-Fortress-Valkyrie-Approximately/dp/B08C3GRZ4P/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2WEVRNLA0ZARZ&dchild=1&keywords=DX超合金&qid=1603825399&sprefix=dx+ch%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-5 If you want these you will need to use a proxy or your tenso address , or maybe the amazon buyee addon to order it since it's for domestic japan only Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Ok. So I went back and rethink the predicable sequence to fill-in the upcoming Valks that they can release and know that it's going to sell if they will continue releasing 2 Valks for each SDF version. Released: SDFM VF-1J Hikaru SDFM VF-1A Max DYRL VF-1S Hikaru DYRL VF-1A Kakizaki SDFM VF-1S Roy Prediction: SDFM VF-1A Kakizaki or VF-1D (TWE if it's Kakizaki's) DYRL VF-1S Max DYRL VF-1A Hikaru (with a possibility of a bundled Super Pack) (TWE) SDFM VF-1A Kakizaki or VF-1D (TWE if it's Kakizaki's) SDFM VF-1S Hikaru (with a possibility of a bundled Super Pack) DYRL VF-1A Max DYRL VF-1S Roy (TWE) Some of the SDFM above can be switched with these: SDFM VF-1J Armored SDFM VF-1J Max SDFM VF-1J Millia And to finish it probably with a TWE exclusive of DYRL VT-1 Quote

So based on my calculations for a pre-order at 20k yen each, all those DX VF-1 will cost 180,000k yen if they managed the money correctly (or have eight bilionity dollars) at one unit each not including the DX GPB or the VT-1. OR... Pick and choose which ones that you prefer to save you the hassle and the headache in the near future. Edited October 27, 2020 by borgified Quote
lavinrac Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Prediction: after the release of the hikaru TV 1S, Bandai will quietly stop producing any new ones with no notice whatsoever. Macrossworld users will continue to wonder until Bandai ends up creating an entirely new line of toys where they put more metal and a higher price tag in and then release the same three Valkyries again.. ad infinitum.

That's why when I decided on getting the first release which is Hikaru's VF-1J, I made sure that I will just get all of his white VF-1's. Including his VF-1J from Macross The First, in case Bandai decides on releasing that. So that they can be 'the first' on releasing that in toy form. 9 minutes ago, lavinrac said: Prediction: after the release of the hikaru TV 1S, Bandai will quietly stop producing any new ones with no notice whatsoever.

F360 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I'm ready for the extra ~ $15 usd per Valk , state sales tax charge. Early this week amazon.jp 3rd party have some listing of the DX Roy for as low as 24278 yen and some at 25000 yen . (will only ship in japan) Now it seems the lowest is 26560 yen and up. (will only ship in japan) . So for those that are still hunting, you should have your tenso account all setup and ready. So if Amazon.jp have more stock of the DX-Roy at MSRP and they decides to turn off international shipping then you can still order it shipped to your tenso japanese address. . Be ready, or be ________________________________________O_O >__< T_T.... Quote

What's the difference between them and, say, Buyee and what are their fees like? Sorry bout all the questions. I've never used a proxy service, though, so I'd like to pick the right one. Quote
