柿崎速雄 Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I think Kanto Hobby is misleading you, the max 1J still not out yet..... maybe it is hikaru 1J DX SET. I check the shop, they only have HIKARU 1J DX, MAX 1A, HIKARU 1A now. Quote
sci70716 Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 Ok. I will give Leo a call again to confirm..I could not find any boxed pics of Max 1J and was guessing as much. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 This thread is useless without pics for proof. Quote
柿崎速雄 Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 one more thing: I asked the shop that I always go to buy 1/48 VALKs, about the MAX 1J, the shop keeper dial to the hong kong dealer and ask them when will it release, the answer is near the end of april .....also the display stand. and sorry, no pict for proofing anythings.... please just read that as a rumor actally, I hope I can get it asap~!! don't delay please......

Godzilla Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Actually a delay would be nice for the VF-1J Max. Gives me time to fatten the wallet. Quote
izzyfcuk Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 hey izzy, frm whom u getting it?yama moved keep delay stuff. even its real im not surprise too. well gotta check out wit my supplier. he said mid/end but plus shipping, guess no diff wif may ahaaz....

Graham Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I'll see if I can get down to Kanto Hobby and Animate in Mong Kok during my lunch break to see if Max is out yet. Graham Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Ah. It looks like they went with a BOLD lettering for Max's name (as compared to the regular one for Hikaru's Super VF-1J). I like the bluish hue....as Cartman would say....kick ass. Quote
EXO Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 That Disco box is fugly. But I gotta have it! I can't wait to get this valk!!! Quote

Get one for me! I wish I was in HK. *sigh* ha ha, but I wish I was in JAPAN~ sometimes, some common cheap stuff in japan will become special expensive treasure in HK , I hate this~! I don't wanna be speculative, but some people told me that the stuff gets created in China, and before they get shipped to Japan to be sold there, some gets smuggled outta the factory to be sold to local retailers for dirt cheap prices, and thus the huge profits they make even when selling at 30% the going rate anywhere else. Factories owned by Triads and mafia bosses.....mmmmm....i wish I knew one to supply me valks. jk Quote

Does it sell online? many thanks the shop at TAI PO N.T. HONG KONG, no online store service. but I think the total price have not much different after add the shipping fee form HK to US..... for VEX , the shipping fee for a super 1J from US to HK is $41 usd total $122+$41=$ 163, i think it's just the same if the helper charge 10 % for handling fee. and one more thing, if you find someone at hongkong for help, and pay by paypal, the helper must count a little bit more, because the paypal system charge handling fee for the service, and the exchange rate from USD -> HKD is lower than than standard, around 1USD to 7.5 HKD so, maybe get a higher price finally.... this just good incase you have a friend having a HK touring Edited March 30, 2004 by 柿崎速雄 Quote
