Hope that helps. Sorry I meant stand adapter where I wrote stand I don’t really like the TV strike parts that much to be honest, so I’d rather not buy them just for the stand. The person I got these parts from is helping me out, which is really appreciated. Up until now I’ve been really lucky with my VFs…no loose joints or issues.

betocc Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Does someone knows if a new batch for the Super Strike Parts Movie Edition was released? Yahoo Auctions Japan is flooded with listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago they were around 18,000 - 20,000 yen like Mandarake current price but now they are around 12,000 -14,000 yen, it is a good moment to get one of those. It is just weird everybody is selling them right now, I didn't hear of of a new release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocc Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Actually Mandarake have 4 of them on sale which is weird, normally is hard to get them from there so definitively something is going on on Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 On yahoo shopping, a few days ago I kept seeing strike parts listed for about 13000 yen with 'feb delivery' which made no sense..so Ii bought one as a test and ithe transaction completed to my surprise. There is nothing posted on Tamashi....but yeah, I think bandai either found a pallet in their warehouse, or they did a quiet re-release, as they are now flooding YJ at 13000-14000 yen. Same for some sv-262 lil drakken sets..seeing more of those up at 13000ish too (finally bought one at that price) So not complaining, but I'd jump on those if you get a chance and missed out before. yeah-its got to at least both of those...this auction even sells them both which is an odd combo https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u1037924699 Now I regret selling my damaged 262! could have just overed it up with the leg missile packs 😛 now seeing missiles too..maybe bandai is prepping the market for the next valkyrie release...so suspect it might will be the movie versoin of something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Would love to see a DYRL Roy release, but probably more likely to be a Max version, since he's the only DYRL scheme we haven't seen yet. I really really hope they keep going and give use a 1/48 VT-1 though, since that would be a first in that scale I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 In many of the auctions I see stated some variation of "It was won by lottery of Premium Bandai." Here is the lil drakken info, so suspect there is a VF-1 version out there somewhere https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1379466.html Lineup items include "DX Chogokin VF-31F Lil Draken Set for Siegfried", "DX Chogokin Sv-262Hs Draken III (Keith Aero Windermere) Lil Draken & Missile Pod", "DX Chogokin" There are three types of "Super Parts Set for VF-31C Siegfried (Mirage Farina Genus Machine)".

Shawn Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 doh...too fast! https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1379453.html BANDAI SPIRITS will sell two types of DX superalloys from the "Macross" series by lottery on the online shopping site "Premium Bandai". Both will be sold by lottery from 11:00 on January 21st to 23:00 on 27th, and the price is 4,070 yen for the "DX Chogokin VF-1 Compatible Missile Set" and the "DX Chogokin Movie Version VF-1 Compatible Strike /" "Super Parts Set" is 8,800 yen. The lottery sale will be carried out from "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" to "DX Chogokin VF-1" compatible missile set. It is an item that can reproduce the AMM-1 missile equipment specifications that appeared in the opening and the play, and a large anti-ship reaction bullet and a micro missile pod are set. On the other hand, "DX Chogokin Movie Version VF-1 Compatible Strike / Super Parts Set" is an item linked to the VF-1 series. This can reproduce the strike Valkyrie by combining with "DX Chogokin Movie version VF-1S Valkyrie (Ichijo Kaiki)". In addition to the strike pack set, the HMMP-02 micro missile pod, 4 types of skull mark parts, etc. are included in the set. Maybe we should start watching this for some news in the future....it was apparently posted in Jan https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/category/figure/chogokin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Sheesh.. yeah, suppose if they're offering them by lottery only, they must have found extra stock somewhere, or something. I'd actually be curious to see how their sales for the VF-1J/GBP-1 bundle went, and whether that could be influencing their thoughts on selling bundles in the future. I think that was the first time since the v.1 VF-25 that they've offered any sort of valk+armor bundle?* *That's not counting the VF-27 bundle (which was never released separately), or the YF-29 Alto re-release (since the YF-29 parts were so utterly insignificant, they should never have been separate in the first place).

sqidd Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Jeez. Seems like a lot of effort for lottery winners to be limited to one set and still find it's worth getting one to scalp. What are they making? $50? I'd wager if they clocked the exact amount of time it took them to enter the lottery. Follow up on it. Receive the package. List the item. Deal with the sale. Ship the item. And most importantly incur the risk of it getting damaged in shipping and having to deal with that.. They would have made more money going to work for the same amount of time. If they had 8+ sets you amortize your effort/risk and it makes more sense. Time is money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 When they were selling for 19000 yen 1 weeks ago it made sense, now not so much at 12000-13000 since the market got resaturated. Maybe you could put in a unique CC# for each 'entry' or something to get around the limitation, but yeah..with just one now are getting a couple decent lunches out of it when everything is done.
