    For #4-#6 they were $50 too without the Super Weapons Pack

    The SW pack was about $50 delivered for 4 VFs from BBTS.

    As to the quality, the Toynami is OK, not fantastic. You pay for what you get.

    However, the SW pack, various hands and decals are great.

    I dont know how much the Hi Metal 1/100 are.

    I googled Hi-metal - it's Bandai Hi-Metal

    http://www.toyark.com/news/macross-t...-gallery-2655/

    At 5,775 yen(MSRP) it equates to about $65, so if we see this in OZ it will be$100!

    In looking at the article, it looks much better than Toynami!

    Here is a Youtube review

    All up - it is very solid!

    If your going to spend a $100 on a Valkyrie, I'd wait till HLJ or Amiami have one on sale, and get a 1/60 one. The last 1/60 I got was $100. They have sales pretty regularly too.

    HLJ just started a sale. Some absolute bargains in there but not the 1/60 Armored VF-1J unfortunately. The Max and Millia VF-22S are under $100 each...
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    All their 1/60 VF-1 series are Ver.2. The first 1/60 series was discontinued a long time ago.

    Slightly tangential, but can any of the resident experts comment on the YF-19 Third Trial Prototype 1/60?

    Is it partsformery? Is it reasonably sturdy? Should I be looking out for any particular QC defects?

    I've found one for what I believe is a reasonable price and have come into some money at the right time
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
