Falcon18

yeah but don't hold your breathe too much in the hope the A & S versions will be that much if at all cheaper than the Zero-D.. Best bet they're gonna be at least 85% or higher of the Zero-D asking price..

Oh I know. Hopefully it's a little less, hopefully. Just that with that money I'd rather get the S than the D. Not both..

absolutely! definitely in for both variants! I held off buying an original Yamato Zero due to all the problems and nightmare stories I read about.. So this renewal version is gonna be epic!

Although im wondering if the "A" & "S" variants will have any further design improvements over the "D" !? unless they did the development for all 3 variants side by side but managed to keep the other two extremely tight lipped!?

Now to wait for release or pre-order dates..

Same here. I held off waiting for the rerelease and here it is. Even held off the 0D too.. too expensive for me. Been wanting one for a looonngg time now.

The 0S. Yesss. Finally. Gonna grab one. That was earlier than expected too.

Depends on what shop you buy it from. Certain retailers have options to pay now or later. Some is either or only.

Ahh the 4G so pretty in Fighter... but so, so expensive..

Wow, just got the email notification from NY. But then saw the price...I think I'm sticking with my HLJ pre-order on this one. Hope they will be able to deliver this time around.

Considering how HLJ had it open for a few minutes and it was limited to 1 per customer, highly likely they will.

Want? Absolutely not.

Did? Absolutely yes.

I guess it all depends on what you're willing to spend money on, I still haven't purchased a 2nd release Renewal 25S out of protest of the mark-ups but I love the 19 too much to pass it up. And at $ 20-$30 over MSRP I can tell myself that it isn't that bad.

And I loathe Bandai for producing so few of the things I want to buy.

-b.

True Macross spirit right there.

And here I was just about to say I was surprised that NY's price was lowest amongst all. Guess NY will just be NY lol.

Wait for NY. They usually come through. Also possible that orders might open in the future nearer to release. Always been that way. Same thing with the 25S with CDJ. Also glad this was more painless than the 25S.

Uhh... how much discount was HLJ offering? I pre-ordered so fast I didn't even look, lol.

My order email showed 21,840.

Got order confirmation in my account page too. Back to gaming! Congrats on those who got one. For those who didn't, CDJ is still open.

:lol: same here. I just blitzed through the order process without looking at the price.

Saw it after I posted. Thanks!

Got 1 in just in case, but will keep my eyes peeled for other outlets, as CD JApan's shipping can be pretty crazy

Awesome Yeah. I agree. I held back CDJ cause of high shipping prices. Luckily got it with HLJ. Nothing from NY and hobbysearch seems to take forever to load the search page. lol.

Hmm, I think I got it, it said I got it from HLJ but I haven't received an email confirmation yet and when I check my "open orders" it says nothing... now I'm worried

Probably processing it. The email comes first, the open orders takes awhile.

Dammnit! Got nothing

CDJ is still open. Go go

Got email confirmation from HLJ too.

HLJ's gone, CDJ still up. Go get em people.

Thanks! Got one.

No HLJ either.

Amiami gone.

Lol. So many people on this topic. Good luck everyone.

I think he means to say that he'll decide only if he sees the gears and if they're good but we haven't seen anything about them yet.

I'll finally be picking up 4 Detolfs tomorrow.

I have setup the area for them

Awesome fleet. You could have just used the shelf to make a flight deck for all them Frontier goodness.

I agree the legs look very frontier like to me. Not exactly sure why. Still overall i like it and is good enough considering the alternative.

Probably cause it's a Frontier valk and not exactly the old 19 in Plus. Well, sort of.

that's exactly where i got it. it said used on the title but as another MW pointed out they sometimes come new unopened.

I see. Thanks then.

The gaps on that leg area don't look that bad to me. I'm fine with it. That pilot looks good too. Seems better than most of their current pilots. Also, love the amount of tampo.

super and strike parts just came in the mail (Christmas Eve).

Nice. Where did you get one? I keep trying to grab a reasonably priced one off Mandarake but I keep missing it..

And guess what? It's "Advanced"!

I still want to see a proper set of pics without the boosters, sitting on the gear......

Then again, given Bandai's history, maybe I don't...

Just to see the gear colour or is there some other concern?
