Nope. 1 1/48 scale Macross Valkyrie SRP is 14800 yen. Excluding extra parts (stand, armor, fast packs, etc)

Clarification: I meant for the price of 1 Macross Valkyrie, you can buy 2 to 4 PVC figures.

BTW, the newer 1/60 scale Macross Zero Valks cost 21600yen SRP now. Luckily, I switch to collecting figures. No more robots for this bloke. 8)

Not at all. I too have the same urge to display all 3 modes of the Macross Valkyries side by side. Luckily I stopped before I went broke. Valks cost 2 to 4 figures in price…

The fact the Hobby Search lists this figure as up to THREE per person must mean that this is stocked better than the last ones!

Yeah, it’s a nice change of pace (though waiting up past midnight last night kind of killed my sleep schedule, argh).

Up on Hobby Search as well. Looks like no rushes this time around.

She just went up at Amiami! Seems their server is getting hammered right now, but this means other sites should be rolling her out soon.

I know when the preorders are going to open…just when you are so tired/bored that you turn off the PC,that’s when.

I had a stroke of luck when spotted the early preorder at Play-Asia so I’m going to sleep really nice today ^^

The only site I’m aware of that actually put up a preorder last night at midnight was Red Entertainment (Play Asia had theirs up from before). Seems the retailers aren’t gung ho enough to stay up past midnight anymore… so tired. =_=

Given the choice beteween updating Wikipedia and updating HD I’m afraid the latter is always the clear winner. ^^;;

That said, I can try to scrape together that various bits of translation I’ve done into a single coherent post that more succinctly describes the franchise; I’ll add that to the to-do list.

Someone seriously needs to put up some Shuraki info on wiki, like a brief paragraph of story synopsis and some production related materials/official-site translation or something. I mean this is pretty big right? *nudges Shingo*

Waiting for the pre-order too! Last piece to secure! Go go refresh!

I can only see her on Play-Asia and it says pre-orders all taken already.

HLJ and Hobby Search are my last hopes.

I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I saw the artwork online. Definitely a must have!
