  1. Love the old school commercial. If only we could get a DX with fast packs at that price today. As for Max and Milia, it is only a matter of when. Knowing Bandai though, they will make them TWE.
  2. Picked up a pre-order at AE for the armour. It is so nice to be able to relax a little bit for once and not stress out on a pre-order night. Lucky for me I don't need another VF-1J and I could just order the armour. Having said that though, good luck to everyone seeking the bundle. I hope you all manage to secure a pre-order. Reposting my comment from yesterday as it was scrubbed from the "other" thread.
  3. Same here. It is so nice to be able to relax a little bit for once and not stress out on a pre-order night. Lucky for me I don't need another VF-1J and I could just order the armour. Having said that though, good luck to everyone seeking the bundle. I hope you all manage to secure a pre-order.
  4. Received my copy of Shoji Kawamori's Designers Note on the 24th via DHL. Couldn't believe that it arrived before Christmas but what a nice surprise. Man that book is heavy. I really wasn't paying attention to the page count so I was taken aback at the size of the book. Now that Christmas is over I am really looking forward to looking through it.
  5. I wondered how long it would be before someone saw the listing. I sent them a request on Friday and they sent me a link to the listing on Monday. I figured it was worth a shot as they have carried P-Bandai items in the past. Today I received my confirmation of purchase from them. Thanks to jvmacross for the link to P-Bandai site. I was having trouble getting the address to send CDJ. In other news I received my TV Supers from AE yesterday. They pack really well. Arrived in perfect condition. Only wished I could have placed my VF-1D order though them but I missed the window by eight hours. Hehe. Congrats to everyone who has been able to order one. Now we wait.
  6. If anyone is looking for this still (Kawamori Designer's Note). It is now available for pre-order on HLJ.
  7. Don't feel too bummed out. With Hikaru's VF-1S, I missed out on the pre-order, but I just checked the listing on release day and the day after and I was able to snag one from HLJ. There will be some available on or just after release for retail or close to. Just don't give in to the scalpers. I have been in this game for 20 years (Did I just say that?) and the one thing I have learned is to be patient with these releases. It is much harder now than it ever was but don't lose faith. The only DX I was ever able to pre-order before last night was the VF-1J. I consider it complete blind luck that I was able to get a pre-order in for Fokker this morning. Then I had to go to work with three hours sleep. Thank you coffee for helping me through the day.

    Hi-Metal R

    Whatever the colour really is, I will still be picking this one up. I have been waiting a long time for a Tomahawk. Besides, I am in Tokyo next week and I plan to pop by the tamashii display and check it out in person. I'll let you guys know what it looks like in the flesh and if it really does have that mauve tint to it.
  9. My post count doesn't show it, but I've been in this game for a very long time. I just don't post often. Thanks for having my 6.
  10. Hehe. Nope. I was referring to Messer and the HMR Spartan. Only one of each.
  11. Got both at HLJ. Searching there can be a really tricky thing. Thankfully I found them both before they stopped order. Messer sure went fast tonight compared to the last two.
  12. Just paid for mine at HLJ having used the secure link to order one. I am surprised it went through. I am not taking any chances and I have put in a shipping request along with some other stuff I had in my private warehouse. Let's hope there are no hiccups along the way. I really hope everyone can get one as it truly looks like Bandai put together a winner with this one.
  13. After seeing that video and all the great pictures of it, I am really happy I was finally able to snag a preorder thru CDJ last night. Looking forward to Bandai's take on this Valkyrie.
  14. Man I seem to have the worst luck. Struck out again. I don't even bother with Ami Ami anymore, so I concentrated on HLJ. I stayed with them until 11 pacific and then decided to go to bed. Got up at four to get ready for work and refreshed the page there until 5am when I had to start work. Then I find out later that they posted it at 11mins past 5 and there was no real limit on how many could be purchased (correct me if I am wrong). Argh! can't believe I missed it by 10 mins. HLJ can be so random at times Here's hoping that Bandai will make a ton of them and the pre-orders re-open or there is some at release. I am sure there will but I do like to have my order locked in. I guess I used up my luck to get the Ozma YF-29. Still need Ozma's 25 though.
  15. Just received mine today from HLJ. Looks great and is such a step above the Yamato. No damage to the box or valk. I was hesitant after all the bad news in this thread, but I have no regrets now that I have it in hand.
