"Ore no Uta o Kike!!!" You'd have to wear it out for an accurate portrayal to match how often it's said in the series. 😆 Quote
jenius Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Oof, I'm going to have to go with a WWM release on this one... I'm sure the Japanese sites will sell out instantly and I'm on the east coast and those hours don't work for me! Quote

Finally got around to opening them a couple months later, transformed two of them, and promptly noped out and sold the lot. Just not my thing, unfortunately. Quote

Wait. I forgot. I don't have any Nekki Valks. Edit: My bad. I just realized VF-19P is indeed a Nekki Valk. Have to find an extra pilot figure to replace that guy. Hahaha!

They and the HMRs scratch an itch at a lower price point, but I have a poison ivy-level Macross rash. DX is my Benadryl now. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 (edited) Looking forward to preordering the HMR VF-19 Fire Valkyrie and Tiny Session YF-19 this week. Edited April 5 by sh9000 Quote
jvmacross Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 Based on recent WWM....pretty confident about this release eventually going for less than the prices at Japanese retailers on Japanese PO day...and that includes adding domestic shipping.... My Collector Beast within will remain fully contained tonight! Quote
treatment Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Amzn-US has just relisted the DX YF-21 as of this posting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRK23S71 Quote
protostar8 Posted April 4 Posted April 4 So is the tiny sessions YF-19 going up everywhere at 4pm JST as well? Quote

So it will likely be available on Amazon US for pre-order in like 2 weeks? Quote

No need to stay awake to pre-order from Japan when I can just pre-order from Amazon US. (I love my sleep) P.S. It is a lot easier for me to justify buying Macross toys again, ever since my husband discovered a hobby where he spends way more than me.... luxury watch collecting. *sigh* (I am sorry Valkyria that you have 2 parents who are so irresponsible with money) LOL! My husband just said that his watches are investments! I felt that way about the Yamato Elintseeker until the Arcadia Premium edition was released.... *sigh* Quote

Chronocidal Posted April 5 Posted April 5 In theory (minus AmiAmi who seems to want to push them to 5:30pm), though I seem to recall there being some oddballs that didn't adjust to daylight savings in the past? Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Up on Yoyakunow... https://www.yoyakunow.com/en/robots/21127-hi-metal-r-vf-19-kai-vf-19-kai-fire-valkyrie.html Quote

Chronocidal Posted April 5 Posted April 5 (edited) And of course the hampsters powering HLJ's servers all just had strokes. Phew.. think it actually got through. Got a confirmation email, and it's still showing as up, so hopefully people who want it can get it. Edited April 5 by Chronocidal Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted April 5 Posted April 5 That was an easy one. Maybe the scalpers are leaving HMRs alone now that there are WWM releases. Quote
Froy Posted April 5 Posted April 5 (edited) Got my confirmation from HLJ And 5+ minutes and still available. Seems WWM is doing its thing. Edited April 5 by Froy Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 5 Posted April 5 (edited) Could be there just isn't that much interest in this one as well, which is kind of a nice change. Got a pair from HLJ and AE without much hassle, so I'll just pray that any further releases of this mold are just as easy. Edited April 5 by Chronocidal Quote
MKT Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Got one at Nin-nin due to best price & flexible payment + shipping. Site was laggy as heck though, had to keep adding & re-adding to cart, but finally got through. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Still available at HLJ. PO madness has never really been a thing for HMR, even before WWM. Quote
Convectuoso Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Amazon link for the Tiny Session: TINY SESSION マクロスプラス YF-19(イサム・ダイソン機) with ミュン・ファン・ローン 約110mm PVC&ABS製 塗装済み可動フィギュア https://amzn.asia/d/ckvE3gr Quote
sh9000 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 (edited) 2 HMR VF-19 Fire Valkyries and 1 Tiny Session YF-19 ordered at Nin-Nin-Game with cheapest price, combined shipping, pay later, and private warehouse option work best for me. Edited April 5 by sh9000 Quote
Anasazi37 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 HMR VF-19 and Tiny Session YF-19 are both still available at HLJ Quote
