>>6090307Nice! Welcome to Macross collecting, anon! I got the Max IJ and another Roy IS (courtesy of HLJ's surprise sale) for Christmas myself. Highly recommend the Max 1J if you get the chance. I was a little iffy about the color scheme Bandai opted for the FAST packs, but in-hand it looks awesome!
Realized after reading your posts that I never really messed with my Hikaru 1J, so took him out to check out the joints. Normal tightness on mine, but I'm glad you were able to get your joints to move smoother. Dish soap is definitely a good remedy, I've used it myself in the past on some squeaky joints.
>>6092858There's one up on Mandarake for 18K JPY:

At least you can still use your CC when paying through Paypal, though you gotta give Paypal your card info (which I can understand being reluctant about).
