I was charged an additional ¥1000. Mine 'should' come with the stand as I pre-ordered on the first day. I only ordered the one, and had it shipped EMS to Toronto, Canada.

Not sure if the pic in the very first post of this thread is representative of the final product, but that pic seems to have the most straight on angle. You can get a better sense of scale with that pic.

But if it was ever re-issued, that would be a DYRL version not TV. I have incredibly fond memories of the TV version as a kid growing up in the 80's. Although I slightly prefer the design of the DYRL version, my emotional attachment for the TV SDF-1 is much greater.

VF-1 @ 1/60 scale would be about 21.13 cm (8.3"), monster @ 1/100 scale would be approx. 22.65 cm (8.9"). So yeah, should be similar.

I'm really hoping that it'll be around 17,000 for the monster, but they're charging 13,000 for the glaug and the monster is considerably larger.

Anyone wanna take a stab at what the monster will cost? I'm thinking ¥25,000 to ¥30,000… Hopefully.

According to the Macross Mecha Manual site, SDF and DYRL versions are the same size, so you are correct in that it would be a 1/6000 scale. In terms of pricing though, I would gladly pay $120 if it transformed the way the Wave does. Judging by the pics of the bridge/torso, the Megahouse looks like it completely disassembles from one form to the next. You can see where the arms (square slots) and legs (circular slots) peg into. Still pre-ordered it though.

OMG… any word on a release/pre-order date?!!!

That's pretty much the same price as amiami, N-Y and A-E. Unless they're offering some sort of kick-ass free delivery I can't see why you'd order from them if their track record is so bad.

landing gears look like they're made from a single piece of plastic. looks like the fingers aren't individually articulated. The index finger might be though.

Here's to hoping that you get your loot. More than losing the cash, I'd be upset about losing the PO's. On a positive though, bigcommerce seems legit.

Funny. Since your post, It seems that they removed any reference to "since 2013" as well as all facebook, twitter, g+ links to BigCommerce.

Just did a quick search for bandaionline.com and found several results also asking if the site was legit. Seems no one has answered that question. Here are a few points of interest from scamadviser.com though: Domain Age: 167 Days Owner: ip chun choi Owner City: Hong Kong Owner Postcode: 852 Email: h5n11@hotmail.com Owner Country : Hong Kong Website Location : United States Notes:- Alert ResultRegistered contact email address is a free one Alert ResultTechnical contact email address is a free one Alert ResultAdministrative contact email address is a free one Alert ResultThis website is 167 Days old Alert ResultThe website appears to be less than six months old Alert ResultThis website setup involves countries known to be high risk Alert ResultThis website is likely to be operating from a high risk country

What a harrowing experience. Since I've just started collecting I've been lucky in that all my PO's were for mechs that collectors already have or do not want, so they were easily obtained. But this was ridiculous. Staying up till 3am (PST) hitting refresh, hoping to get to the next page of the order form, then watching in horror as something screws up and you're back at square one but now it's all sold out. All that in a span of a couple minutes. I don't know how you guys do it for so many new releases...
