    The use of lazy acronyms is destroying our ability to communicate. :( 

    Yahoo! Japan auctions. Many use proxy services like Buyee to place bids.

    Googling YJA does not in any way point you to yahoo Japan auctions @Flapjacks .

    same with NY. Or MWF.

    Let me do another version.

    The inability to determine sarcasm (by use of blue text) in Transformer World 2005 boards is destroying our ability to communicate :( 

    Using the blue FTFY was meant to be sarcastic and humorous on my end. I tend to find them funny when I see the blue text response in other threads but that's me. I tend to pick up on things because I read through pages or backtrack on topics/toys I'm interested in. I wasn't referring to google per se but rather the information picked up by reading through topics here. Besides, using acronyms doesn't destroy communication. It furthers it because the dialogue continues.

    Back to Macross stuff...

    you think they'll re-release the strike pack for when the vf-1a's start coming out cause if bandai seriously wants us to buy them ahead of time, then...i honestly just don't know how to react given that it's around $100 when importing and it'll be 3 that we'll need to get and thats not including the ones for hikaru, fockers, or maximilian vf-1s

    Maybe and maybe not , they could very well just release a super Dx vf-1a hikaru combo. If you are planing to get them anyways then you should just preorder them now when it’s still msrp. Or if you are in lack of funds , then maybe preorder what you can now and then try to buy the extras later if needed (as long as you are ok paying more for it later )

    Bandai made 2 p-Bandai batches so the probably of a reissue is low at best .

    Hi guys, I got a 3rd DX VF-1S coming, but just needed 2x.

    Letting go for how much I got it from Nippon - $420 NZD (approx 264 USD according to google)

    PM me and I'm sure we can work something out and can let go for a bit lesser on what I have paid [​IMG] Payment would be via paypal and item will be shipped from NZ. I think shipping is around 52 usd to the states.

    EDIT *SOLD*

    Hey @Jarrod How exactlly did you remove the foot to replace just at the ankle? I removed the one screw that is in the joint that connects to the ankle but the foot still doesn't come off. Looking at it closer, it seems like there is still something holding the foot on from the two sides of the slider where the screw came out of. Can you help me out here with some more details or guidance? Thanks!

    There's actually a second screw further up. It's just barely inside the leg. It's a little tricky, but you can get to it. See my post below from a few months ago:

    Yep.. Supers on Mirage's 31c does make it pop out more @FireSkyJet. ;) 

    The next day after I messaged you about the Supers, a copy of a 31c was gone the next day for roughly 36k yen.

    Would aligning the arms a little more precisely here help with the wing alignment any?? I don’t own this figure...so no idea if that would help at all.
