Ugh It is beyond debate at this point....at least among collector's.......box condition matters......if only for the mere fact that it's potential future market value is adversely affected and quantifiable...but more importantly, if it matters to the customer it should matter to the seller....... I would at least contact them and see if they can replace the boxes for you Good Luck! Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 Is this a joke? @Blackaces If it is... bad form. If not, then I'm done with Calibre Wings. I'm not interested in patronizing a company who openly attacks its customers.. and then comes on MW to gloat about it. Damn shame, I enjoyed your product. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Been awhile since I have heard anything from Calibre Wings.. then I stumbled across this. I am shocked this has not popped up sooner. Continuing the 1/72 VF-1 Series line is a 40th anniversary gem.. Flying Mule has them for preorder currently .. Quote

Spark-O-Matic Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) It's been on preorder on eBay for about 6 months. I just thought everyone already knew. It's amazing I would love to see a three stage valk under that beautiful paint job but we all know the big valk companies are too lame for that. awhile back when I mentioned KC should do something more then remix paint jobs I mentioned a LM version this was the Valk I had been thinking of when I wrote that because this is something original and would sell like hotcakes.

Raikkonen Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 When I asked Calibre wings recently about additional Macross Zero, they were straight to the point that there won't be anymore plans involving Zero. Pity, I was so hoping for the VF-0 range in diecast... Quote
Sildani Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Calibre got a Cease and Desist from Big West, so I’m not surprised. Quote

TheLoneWolf Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 I see Calibre Wings is ripping off another IP, this time it's Hasegawa. 3 hours ago, Sildani said: Calibre got a Cease and Desist from Big West, so I’m not surprised. They did? Everyone here who wanted Shin's F-14 from M0 got one. A couple of months later, Noel (the owner of Calibre Wings) posted a YouTube update where he practically laughed at Big West. Quote

So this Calibre wings release is not a HG licensed one? Edited August 30, 2023 by Raikkonen Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Latest VF-1 released.. I really like this one.. and without a doubt Grey Market at this point.. Macross 41st logo had me lol Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Ok, the "BIC WEST" logo is just straight up trolling now. XD Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 @jvmacross https://www.flyingmule.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_code=AV&Product_Code=CL-CA72VF01 I mentioned this in the other thread, but I had some issues with the shipping service when I ordered directly from CW. Flying Mule has packed them very well, and you can usually score a coupon code. The downside is that FM gets its items later, but its worth it for me to mitigate damage on shipping. my .02 Quote

Chronocidal Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 I've relied on FM to get several of the Calibre F-14 releases.. which they somehow shipped before an order direct from the CW site did. It's a short hop and a jump north of me, so they get here fast once Flying Mule gets their stock in. Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 @jvmacross 10% off in-stock at flying mule coupon.. TGP23 expires 11/19. Quote
