Chronocidal Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I saw it available, but decided I don't need a second copy. One thing to do though is make sure to configure the site to pay in yen. I don't recall how I did it, because my account's been configured that way for years, but it saved me a fair amount on my last few purchases there because of exchange rate shenanigans. Quote
betocc Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) It was available at Hobby Genki, I got the last unit https://hobby-genki.com/en/macross/15035-fully-transformable-yf-19-with-fast-pack-premium-finish-160-scale-4582482821572.html 43,750 yen plus shipping, not a bad price.

ErikElvis Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I would love a second but that’s a lot of dough. Maybe I’ll be irresponsible for my favorite plane. Quote

I'm with you. It's one of my favorite Valks too. I already stopped buying doubles. Time to enjoy the hobby as is. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I'm thinking this one is going to be the fighter-mode display permanently. Might even tack the wings in place so they stay put, and never transform it. Quote

But it would've been nicer though if Arcadia also do a YF-21 Premium Finish to display with, packed with Fold Boosters. Quote

Time to enjoy the hobby as is. I really cut down on valk collecting. From doubles of everything, to doubles of only the ones that really appeal to me, to singles of only the ones that really appeal to me. I do have other hobbies though that pick up what used to be valk money. Quote

I'm more selective now. No disrespect to other members. But for me now, it's more fun to have various collectibles than having the same one in different sizes and in multiples. I don't worry too much now if it becomes yellow or gets broken. As long that it serves it purpose in my lifetime, I'm good. So play with it. Enjoy. Quote

But still having difficulty not picking up every single Macross valk release haha.. which I know I have to be more selective on moving forwards and hope I can reach a stage to have more self-control. The first one I quite struggled with but ultimately skipped was Hayate's 31J Armored parts. Quote

But since I had difficulties on handling Arad's Armored parts prior, it's not a big loss for me on not having Hayate's. Mirage's Armored Parts on the other hand. That I might get. If Bandai decides on selling it. Hahaha! Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 This still on point for the 24th. Wallet ready. Quote

Shawn Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Looks like they shipped..yikes! https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v1086154640 The premium finishes for others are going for insane prices lately. Quote

I got the arrival notification tonight, so I just need to send my shipping payment and it will be on its way. Quote
Corrinald Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Never thought I would see the day this showed up in my FromJapan account. Of course they want a small fortune to ship it so it may still be 3 months of surface shipping until I get it haha Quote

I decided to go with EMS since I don’t want to wait for the boat. It’s been a long time since I’ve air shipped a Valkyrie for less than $60-$70US using FromJapan.

Robin-11 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Wow, it does look beautiful. The panel lining looks great. More subtle than the 0D for sure. Quote

Froy Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Holy! Glad I have regular release. Wonder why Arcadia didn't throw a fold booster in at less with this release. Quote
Slave IV Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 It does look great. Almost tempting me but Plus is actually one of my least favorite Macross series and I already have the previous plain version and DX. Quote
Kicker773 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Thought it be a little more heavier with the lining. Having the regular and the re-release version, seems like we’re only paying for the different box. Quote
