That and a new TV series Same plus gives me time to appreciate the valks I have and determine which ones I'll sell.
My SV-51 came with the double leg issue. Jarrod kindly supplied a replacement leg that he had. I fucked up and got the wrong side. What i need is the right leg, looking at it from battroid mode. Mine looks like this: Anyone have an extra right leg Or does anyone need a left leg?
Just went to preorder this, but im stuck on registering for that Japan Amazon..will it not let US residents use it?
You should be able to. Just make sure you are creating a new account that is separate from your domestic Amazon account. Choose the English option to help figure things out.
The Yamato Strumvogel for me is the worst transformation I feel like it will break in half every time
just as the ARCADIA YF-19 should have never included the High-Speed wing position, YMMV. a gimmick of dubious value that badly affects the structural soundness of an otherwise near-bulletproof design...
So tempting... I might only end up with one DX Valkyrie in my collection when all is said and done...would rather it be a Roy or Hikaru, though...
I'm kind of a fan of the drunk...lol. I really need to start watching the shows. Maybe it'll push me toward Max. Which would be nice since his Valkyrie seems to be readily available at prices that don't require anal lubrication during purchase...
Yeah, Roy is classic. But Max is also the only confirmed on screen survivor with his own fleet and a long legacy in the Macross world. If you have the patience you’ll get a chance at Roy. I’m almost not looking forward to the bloodbath that preorder night could turn into.
Yeah. I've tried the "PO night" madness twice and struck out both times. But, I'm just a noob at it, so, hopefully I'll have better luck some day. At any rate, I can be patient!
Yeah, it’s been tough. Roy could be the worst ever and simultaneously crash Japan’s web network, lol!
Hey just have a "Saved search" on eBay and who knows,maybe one will pop up for a fair price you're willing to pay. (Don't worry im noob too when trying to acquire what I want lol) cheers!
I think Max's DX was hard to preorder initially due to FOMO exeprienced after not being able to preorder the DX VF-1J Hikaru. I say that because there was a number of members who normally didn't post in this thread, who came in later and talked about missing the DX VF-1J preorders. To some, that was their 1st taste of "blink and you'll miss it" Bandai Macross preorders. To some, it didn't matter which character it belonged to, they just wanted a DX VF-1(not judging, I get it, there was a lot of hype for the DX VF-1J after the initial preorders sold out). So once they were given a heads up on what to expect for the next round, they were ready and waiting once the DX VF-1A Max preorder went live. Coupled with them, you had fans that wanted to complete Vermillion team, fans of Max then fans of combat relevant Valkyries(the latter 2 apply to me). If you definitely want a Roy or Hikaru, I recommend just waiting it out for their DX VF-1's, especially if you just want 1. If you do watch the shows and not DYRL?, you might end up wanting Max's VF-1J more, or his VF-1S from DYRL?. His J stands out since it wasn't all white with blue trim like his TV 1A, but mostly blue with white trim. His DYRL? S stands out because he was bad ass in it for 1 standout scene that could be described as the best Macross dogfight scene prior to Macross Plus. Don't give up, keep the preorder pages bookmarked and check every now and then. I was able to order Max still with a discount 2 weeks after it got released. I missed out on the preorders for it.
Thanks guys. I didn't realize that additional PO opportunities still might pop up after the initial bloodbath. I need to get accounts set up on more sites as well. AND, I need some more practice. It's a fun problem to have, lol...
You're welcome. I was able to order the DX YF-19 the day it was released or the next day, still with discount, missed initial preorders. I did see the preorders reopen for a few hours weeks or months before I got my order in but I missed it. Missed out on the initial preorders do the DX VF-31 Messer. Got 1 in when preorders reopened, not as much of a discount but much less than what it would've been on eBay post-release. Was able to preorder the DX VF-1J/S Hikarus on preorder night. Missed Max, got order in 2 weeks after release, minimal discount but still less than what it would've been on eBay. Best thing I can suggest is to try to order directly from a Japanese retailer as much as possible, keep the order page bookmarked. Check it often. Depending on when your preorder or order is nabbed, you may not always get the best discount but YMMV, you play the waiting game and you may miss out entirely.
