Yeah I wonder about the rest of the DYRL squad. I actually prefer they keep the “mistake” for all of them if they don’t release a fix for Hikaru’s 1S. OCD symmetry and all haha

I've been watching AJ off and on all weekend long but no sign of any release stock of the VF-1S. Has anyone seen it in stock at any point? Wondering if that ship has sailed already.
Alrighty... Both N-Y order and Hobby Search shipped the 1S. Hope I get them by Sat. Assuming all arrives in good order, I'll definitely be open to selling my NY one if anyone needs one. I paid first round markup for it though. So, my cost was $306 and change with shipping. You all might be able to get a better deal elsewhere, but not sure how available stock has been. I'm not worried about being able to offload it on eBay or elsewhere (whether now or later) but wanted to give the fam heads up first. I haven't either. I'm running a web monitor called Distill, and it hasn't shown any updates.
Roy's 1s is the only Strike valk that doesn't have a modex number (if anyone can remember)? I'm sure that Manda will have a DX Hikaru 1s listed eventually as it will get snapped up quickly. As for the price, close to MRSP is a possibility. Edit: Anyone want a 1/55 Chunky Monkey Roy? Here you go at 19k yen. Mandarake
I'm pretty sure Roy's 1S is 001 too. In Macross TV, Hikaru moves from the 1J (101) to the 1S (001), adopting the same yellow and black fighter that his sempai flew. IN DYRL, Hikaru moves from the 1A (011) to the 1S (001), and he gets his own 1S with unique markings.
So my strike pack preorder from Taobao seems to have disappeared??? So anyone selling a first run strike pack in December?
Unfortunately, that's the only one I found so far that's still around the original Pre-order price that I paid.
I cringe every time I click on this thread, Im broke as a joke and I just know, somebody is going to post that he's up on Amazonjp for $200 like max
As much as I'd hate to say it, you could always try e-bay. But you may have to contact the seller to find out if what they're listing is for next month's release. Unless someone else knows of somewhere else, that's all I got.
So, did anyone other than me and @Flapjacks purchase VF-1S? Any other news of them shipping for ya'll? I don't know of anyone selling the first run anymore. My guess is that you'll see people flipping them after they actually receive them.
I’ve been watching the Amazon Japan listing out of curiosity, watching the seller prices slowly drop down. Same thing happened with the Max VF-1A.
I stayed up with you all trying to get one only to be thwarted with cart jacking and timeouts. I tried since I missed out on Max and wanted any DX VF-1, but didn't realize how crazy it would be. I'll take one if I can land it at cost, otherwise I'll leave it for those who really want one.
The only problem that I've seen is a lot of those sellers lowering the price are either new, have a low number of reviews, or not the best rating. When it comes to Amazon, I feel like you shouldn't have a rating lower than 98%. This isn't eBay. It's Amazon, ya' know? It's interesting to watch.
