Hi Elmer, I believe you will be getting it soon. Since 1000 pieces were made, and they were not distributed worldwide, there should be plenty available for overseas order. Hope my reasoning is not flawed.

Alain - yes, I watched the animated series long ago. Still kept the sticker book and a diecast model of the valkyrie though it is on the verge of being destroyed by my boy.

Don't underestimate collectors in a place like Japan. Especially when most of the best plastic kits are from there. And do take note that it was all sold out long long before. What you probably should be asking, i know i'd like to know the answer to, is where did this stock come from? Perhaps a poor hobby store had to close stock and liquidate its assets? who knows. I'd say, grab em while you can.

Well... your reasoning works for me, Valkyrie. I just received request for payment with notification that my model is in stock and ready to ship!! Yeehaw!
Shipping conversion rate was only $18.82... I can't complain at all... all the way from Japan!

I see on their site that all of CW are restocked. Maybe they get a certain number of restock each month?

What's MISB? I will usually consider buying two different items each time I order from overseas to average out the shipping cost. But didn't see any item I want besides the Vandy 1. I am facing space and budget constraints, so never get two of the same items before.

MISB..... Mint in Sealed Box.

MISB ( Mint In Sealed Box ) this is usualy the term we used at macrossworld hehehe...anyway, same here, will order atleast 2 items from overseas,in this case the Vandy and the VF-84 Cat Launch. Im a long time customer at HLJ, this is the first time I ordered items which is not " In Stock "
