That's more expensive than the Arcadia SV-51 which is only 36800 yen. 40k for a toy where Bandai absolutely cut corners in its original design and now reissued with their current level of quality control?

No thanks. The problem is that they know they have a solid fan base and people will buy it no matter what. Look at the horrible QC on the original Frontier line of toys. Bandai just re polished the turd and people are eating it up. They wont change anything until sales begin to drop significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Sauce Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I have a renewal version with super parts already so I'm fine with that but if US retailer puts it on sale for less than $280 I may jump on it depending on how much they discount it.

I know they're in CA and I'm in NY but most places are charging tax for out of state purchases now. Some don't but I thought someone already mentioned that they do.

Try checking out and see what it will charge you. https://www.kappahobby.com/products/dx-chogokin-vf-25f-super-messiah-valkyrie-alto-saotome-custom-revival-ver I'm asking wiseass because others have been saying you get charged tax anyways. A lot of online companies from other states are doing it. Why would I bother checking myself if others have already done so? What you're saying is contradicting that, that's why I questioned it.

But then, if we really want to save a few dollars, getting it directly from Japan stores is still the best way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is SO true now. On the one hand you get up or stay up in the middle of the freakin night in a fleeting attempt to maybe just maybe snag something at a "normal" price in the .02 seconds it shows up on Japan sites, but then pay out the a** to have it shipped OR you wait for 6 months to get the damn toy from an American site and pay a hefty markup. I'm sorry, for this old timer, neither option really floats my boat anymore. I'm pretty much done collecting Macross nowadays. It just plain SUCKS. There I said it. Wake me up when Yamato rises from the ashes and comes back with a 1/60 VER3 for less than $100 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times I agree with you, in that I love saving enough money at the end of the year that I can actually buy a figure with the difference. However, you can argue that should Macross become popular again, the items could be just as cheap sold here as a result. That's part of why I choose to support shops that carry Macross, and ask buyers to order Macross items when they can. I want the shops to survive, and Macross to get more exposure to other customers.

At this posting time, it is Yen 12,895 and that hasn't included a further 10% Japanese VAT deduction. Broke down and ordered another copy.
