Showowner: Thinking... Okla, 10%. Holiday mood la...

Huge box. The original price is RM728, so 10% brings it down to RM655, a significant difference (that and the number 6 in front makes me feel a bit better!)

Transformation is insanely complicated. This is the hardest Macross to transform! Some of the mechanism to lock and fit is very tight and at times, I was afraid I was gonna break it :-S I spent 1 hour to transform it from Battroid back to Fighter. Yeah, it's THAT hard. And even after that, it doesn't really fit very well.

But once u get it, I think it's awesomely cool! Now gotta wait for his rival, the YF-19 re-release! Then they can kick each other's arse :D

Comparison with the VF-1A. YF-21 is much larger, about the same as VF-25G, but it's surprisingly very light. Not much (if any) die-cast parts.
