Crazy what they showed in the 80’s lol. Kinda like in DYRL when Hikaru smacks Minmei and watching that now makes me cringe a little. At least later on in Macross the guys get slapped a bit like Alto and Hayate. 55 minutes ago, crackpot said: It also gave Adam a nice tan allover which made him unrecognizable to a lot of people especially those close to him.

And this is why I have been put off this line. I have enough expensive hobbies as it is, and a happy Mrs. is the most expensive one.. lol I FINALLY bit the bullet and picked up the Fokker 1S damn you @sqidd and your links. I also just went and got the missle set, at some point before they become unobtanium I need a strike/super set. But I really am having a hard time justifying the price points for any of this.

borgified Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 It's not our resident feline friend that has totally derailed the thread @levzloi. Unfortunately this thread got very heated with a ugly debate about moral values (got out of hand) and @Roy Focker had to step in and do damage control. 'Nuff said!

borgified Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 @Stampeed Valkyrie - There's a sealed DX SSP set for grabs on Jungle when I saw it this morning (don't know if it's still there as of right now). DX SSP sets are climbing in price just like what @peter has mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angesdad Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Saw a SSP set on Mandarake this morning for 15k yen, sealed. I passed because I am currently all in for Mr. Focker..looking to get two sets at least. How many are you getting and how many is enough? I have a feelin' some would go for three because it is a magic number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) I just bought one on ebay for $298 shipped plus tax. I can't be arsed to scrounge for a better deal.

Grey728 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 If it's any consolation for you, the best price I could get on PO night $275 USD shipped and I'm sure I'm not alone. You saved yourself a lot of heartache and frustration for a small chance to get one at retail price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 These prices are all definitely in oof territory as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 It's a 19,800 yen item which is about 200 bucks, so consider shipping another 65 bucks maybe and that goes to 265, so 298 isn't a huge profit. I'm just guesstimating the shipping, probably is lower than that but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) After almost one yeat and a half I've requested Anime Export to ship my Strike Parts (paid my order June 2019). No postal service to my country yet, but found a forwarder via Miami. They're packing my order now, so my Hikkie 1S will finally sport some armor. Will ship my Focler 1S preorder from AmiAmi through the same forwarder. Can't wait any longer. I want my plastic fix now!!!

It's not a great profit margin, but it's still significantly more than the $218.55 (shipping incl) my order with nin-nin is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your Nin-Nin order shows up. I’m in the same boat as you. Got in on an early PO round, waiting to see if they cancel my order and sell it to someone else at a big markup after release.

Shipping will most likely be closer to $65 due to the extra weight of the flight display stand . Then there’s the Christmas holiday fee that some of tge shipping company will charge depending on how close you are to shipping near Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Speaking of DX VF-1S... Am I the only DX Hikaru-1S owner that has a bum leftside landing gear? No locking detents like the rightside landing-gear. I recently (and finally) transformed my Hikaru-1S back into fighter mode. I'd honestly forgotten how much super annoying the transforming process was and due entirely to the stupid damn connector gimmick that keeps disconnecting itself. Add to that, since I have the FPs on it, the gunpod pretty much does not have any more clear ground-clearance. Like none at all. It drags when I wheeled it before the bum left landing gear gives out. Thought the no-ground-clearance was coz of the bum left landing-gear, but nope. Augh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
