Just a reminder from the DX VF-1 thread on MW, Hayao's 1S (DYRL) will be release on the last week of August.
VF-1S??? S????? BAH!!!! A!!! A for AWESOME! Poor A variant always getting the raw deal. Man, I forgot all about this green beauty. This also reminds me I never heard back from Okini Land... Wonder if they forgot about the email they sent out.
Alright, I caved. I ordered the HMR Monster from that link on Robotoybase and won decently priced HMR Defender, Spartan, and Glaug on Yahoo Japan Auctions. Everything is coming by boat though so it’s gonna be a while. Next are the valks, but that’s gonna take time given the number they’ve already released. Now where do I find a decently priced DX Kakizaki on release day?
Now your becoming like us!! Get your copy of Hayao'a 1a upon release date either on Manda, Amiami, Amazonjp or anywhere that are secondary retailers.
Unfortunately, you really won't at this point because it was a TWE - web exclusive. Best bet is to watch Amazon Japan for a 3rd party seller via Global Ship. That will be your cheapest route most likely. There will be other places selling it but those will probably be overpriced. It's not a normal release where there is more stock on release day because technically, it isn't intended for General Availability like a normal release would be.
I wish I could Like that post twice... or 500 times. I have never seen so many Valkyries and not being at a show or store. That is so beautiful.
Some of those have to be custom valks! I like! But damn that looks like a lot of money and time spent
Calibre Wings just posted the following from Big West, regarding the Macross Zero F-14’s that were announced(they had reached out to Big West for licensing but wasn’t able to get it granted):
