Hey guys. Just want to confirm VF-1S Roy Focker is exactly the same as VF-1S Valkyrie (Koki Ichijo), except the color? I'm looking at the photos on amazon.co.jp, and it appears so. If this is the case, my wallet is safe, since I got 2 VF-1S Valkyrie already and not that interested in Bandai's infamous re-coloring tactics. Thanks in advance!

Is this version just a re-color version of vf-1s? Like red to yellow? If so my wallet is safe. I only buy one version with my favorite color from one series. For vf-31 series I only bought the 31f. How about you guys? Are you collecting every color from the same series?

By looking at the video, it looks like the back is definitely painted, which is a good thing. I was disappointed to see the un-painted back in the previous photos.

Thanks locidm and f360. I meant to say I submitted tickets to NY (not email) multiple times, but they only replied on my first inquiry and then they just stopped replying, and I already chose ferry at the time of purchase. I sent my first ticket in May, and they replied saying they don't have the stock. Then the tickets I sent in June and July have no reply at all. I guess what happens here is they over sold the figure so they have nothing to send to me. God knows when they will receive more stock so these aholes from NY just ignore me.

Hey guys. A bit off topic but I seriously need some help here. Back in Jun 2019, I pre-ordered 2 set of SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS - DX CHOGOKIN MOVIE VF-1 STRIKE / SUPER PARTS SET from NY. It was for the 2nd release run so NY told me the release date for it would be April 2020. Now it's almost Aug 2020, but NY still have not shipped the sets to me. The item shows OOS at their website. I sent inquires asking them whether they have the stock and where they will ship, but they never replied back. I paid 21300 yen total shipping include for this order, so it's not a small amount. I contacted PayPal, and PayPal told me since the original purchase was made more than 1 year ago, I cannot create a dispute. Is emailing NY the only way for me at this moment? I was thinking calling my credit card company to do a charge back for it, but I'm worried I will lose my PayPal account.

After 10+ years figure collecting, I decided to sell majority of my collections and to put the money into my daughter's RESP. I will list all items in bst forum soon. I have several ancient Metal Builds and wondering if fellow members can give me some suggestion for the prices that I should list them for. I can list them in ridiculous high prices but no one will buy. On the other hand I don't want to list them super low cause they are quite rare to buy. They are: 1. Metal Build Seven Sword. Brand new and sealed. Yes the very first metal build. 2. Metal Build 00 R Tamashii web exclusive. Brand new and sealed. 3. Metal Build Destiny. First release. Brand new and sealed. 4. Metal Build Strike Freedom. First release. Brand new and sealed. And Metal Build Seven Sword G. I opened the box to check the face painting for this one. Any suggestion will be appreciated! Nice list. How fast would you like those to sell out? Thanks! Not in a big hurry. Can wait until 6 month from now.

Side question: does anyone know what happens to Tokyo Otaku Mode? Not a single listing of any new metal build or chogokin figures for such a long time. I cancelled my membership with them because of that.

Have a question for fellow robot Japan members: do you think it's worth the money and effort to collect metal build figures? I started collecting mb figures since the very first seven sword. But almost all of my mb figures became loose overtime. It's sad to see wonderful detailed figures cannot stand by their own. My friend told me the best way to handle mb figures is not to display them, store them in the box. But what's the meaning of collecting of not displaying. Is the same thing happen to you guys?

Received this from Hobby Bee. What's going on with this re-issue? Never seen this limited amount of quantities before.
We just learned today from our supplier that the quantity of GX-71 Voltron we are going to receive would be way less the amount we ordered, and at the moment it's unlikely we could fulfill your order. As the result, we would issue you a full refund and cancel the order.
We are truly sorry about this. If it turns out to be more quantity when we receive it, we will reserve one for you and notify you immediately. And to compensate, we would like to offer you a 10% off discount code to be used for your next entire order: xxxxxxxxx
Please free feel to let us know if there is any question. Thank you!
Billy

Does anyone know if the NA version comes with an extra sleeve like last time? If so I will skip the JP pre-order and have a great sleep tonight. IMO NA version is more collectible compared to JP version because of the sleeve.

NY is asking for additional 2600 yen for shipping. I don't want the item if the shipping is that high. I'm going to ask NY to see if they can cancel the order.
