Bandai DX Macross Frontier VF-25 version 2.0

BBTS have them for preorder at $210. In all likelihood, for those of us in the states, going through proxy service or group buy will cost close to $200.

It's ridicules how much we have to pay for these exclusives.

Who the f**k buys Macross from BBTS? They're a rip off there.

Well, if you can find other retailer selling these tamashii exclusive items in US for cheaper, do let us know. The only other way to get these outside Japan is through proxy service or through group buy, which means commission and/or additional shipping. After the fees and shipping costs it brings you in the same ball park as what BBTS is charging.

I do agree that for other macross items that are not exclusive, BBTS is charging way too much. But we don't have much choice for Tamashii exclusive stuff.

Well, just received my ozma today and aside from some paint app QC things, its great. I had to touch up the skull emblem on the back. After I get the fast packs in april I won't have to see the screw-ups for the most part. It's too bad that on as expensive a collectable that this is that I still have to touch it up. Oh well...

Haha... even without the Urkel Pants, the revised version still manages to stand taller than the old one. Overall proportion is also much better too... 8-)

Kudos for Bandai, but not for the web exclusives

Anxiously waiting for Ozma to arrive. Left a spot for him on my shelf.

Well, just got an email from BBTS saying that my preorder for the VF 25S renewal will not be fulfilled due to a mass shortage in Japan. *sigh*

I know. But it's ok. I was able to snag the last one from itcamefromjapan.com. Bandai is doing a re-release for the YF-29 Durandal so they're probably going to do it for the VF 25 renewals.
