Hello and thank you for checking out my auction for the 1/100 scale model kit of the VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max custom) from Macross / Robotech, originally released by Bandai of Japan in 1985 to promote the theatrical release of Macross: Do You Remember Love?
This is a transformable ("variable") kit similar to the 1/100 scale kit originally produced by ARII during the early 1980s, with the addition of the optional parts for the movie version FAST pack. The completed model can transform between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes.
Kit comes with a clear plastic piece for the canopy, a sheet of water transfer decals, and die cast metal parts for the landing gears and areas subject to wear from frequent transformation. Optional parts include landing gears, gun pod, micro-missile pods, and 2 types of missile clusters. Parts are included for you to build it with either the TV version of FAST pack (Super Valkyrie) or the Do You Remember Love? movie version (Strike Valkyrie) FAST pack. Since this kit was designed in the early 1980s, cement and painting are required to complete the model (just follow the rule of sold line = glue together and dotted lines = do not cement and you will be fine).
Kit is brand new unbuild with all the parts still in factory sealed plastic bags. Box has been preserved in practically mint condition. This is a 1997 reissue from the Macross 15th Anniversary batch. Kit has been stored away from direct sunlight and the elements since 1997 as part of my own collection, as you can see everything still looks brand new and in very clean condition. It will be sent to you from a non-smoking residence.
SHIPPING:
Item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail or USPS Priority Mail Express (previously USPS Express Mail). I ship worldwide to any location that the US Postal Service ships to. I apologize if your country shows up as being excluded on the auction listing - this is a problem with eBay's system because when I tried to edit the exclusion list nothing shows up as being excluded.
S&H includes Insurance and USPS Tracking within the US. Please note that tracking outside of the US is only available with Priority Mail Express. If your ship-to address is outside of the U.S., Priority Mail Express is highly recommended due to its tracking feature, which discourages postal negligence once the package arrives at your country.
Non-U.S. bidders, please note that you may be subject to import tariff, which will be your sole responsibility. Your item will be declared at the winning bid amount so your package will be fully insured.
Requests for combined shipping on multiple auctions won will be honored. Please contact me if you would like an estimate on the items you are interested in, but usually you will save on S&H on combined shipping unless oversized package rate becomes applicable. If your payment arrives without accompanying notes or message requesting hold on the item for combined shipping, I will go ahead and ship your item under the assumption that you want the item sent right away without combining with other items.
Please clear payment within a week if you win the items without using Buy It Now.
Your item will be shipped within 1 business day (24 hours except for holidays or weekends when the post office is closed) after your payment clears in most cases. If unforeseeable circumstances strike (power outage, computer problems, etc.) I'll do my best to get your item shipped within 2 business days.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them within 24 hours.
