    I think the Mercat plushies sold out very quick if I'm not mistaken @Slave IV.

    You can try Esty and see if there is any availble for grabs or get someone talented in seamstress skills and get you to make a few for your family. I'm sure your kids will like them as well. :D

    Say, if you haven't have either of these, what would you get between dx vf 19 full set pack and dx vf 31s. Same price tag.

    Isamu vs the Jellyfish snacker??

    Ismau's Fully decked out bird (plus the arm cannon) for the fidget factor while the Arad's 31s with the Silpheed Armour is the Itano Circus.

    Final answer: DX YF-19 Full Set.

    @Slave IV - Can you reload the resized gif from Noel here? :D

    I've got both and I'd say YF19 full sett. Bit more complex. Comes with so much stuff I keep giving the other valks armaments from it.

    YF-19, the poseability in battroid mode is what won me over.

    If it’s the YF-19 I’d say toss-up. If it’s the VF-19advance, I’d say VF-31S.

    I prefer the look of Arcadia’s YF-19 so the Bandai one isn’t especially appealing to me. And the 31 is a known quantity solid fun figure.

    I suppose you are talking about the YF-19 vs the VF-31S. I’d only base it off the YF-19 set retailed for 25,000Y and the VF-31S for 21,000Y so if they were available somewhere for the same price, I’d go with the YF-19. That and there is typically only one style YF-19 to get and it comes with an arsenal of weapons you can use with other Valks and there are a whole rainbow of other VF-31s that you can choose from.

    There is no competition for the YF-19, whether it be a tf or a Macross.

    Hey I've got couple things I want to sell.

    HMR VF-1D unopened $100 shipped in US
    IMG_20210717_190931~2.jpg

    HMR VF-1A Hikki only opened to make sure it came with the correct super parts for the legs $110 shipped in the US
    IMG_20210717_191201~2.jpg

    Arcadia VF-1S Hikki. The one that came with the stand instead of supers. I bought it used from Manda I think. I never took it out except to take pictures of the inside for this sale. Was going to decal it up. Got too lazy and bought the PF instead. $210 shipped in the US.

    First VF-1D DX shipped from BIJ. 6100yen for ems--pricey. Surprised that they don't offer dhl or fedex. Should be here in about a week. Ended up being about $293 shipped.

    Some posts from MW DX VF-1d thread via the following links below:

    Screenshot 2021-07-19 212153.png Screenshot 2021-07-19 212437.png Screenshot 2021-07-19 212859.png Screenshot 2021-07-19 213218.png

    @lethal injection - Look in Mandarake's Macross subheading in these following days as this will be up for grabs at around 24k yen (not including S+H). Make sure that it can be shipped to where you are.

    I'm sure that there will be extras floating around as members here are willing to sell off their extras.
