Major Focker Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I think Buyee circumvents that problem. Or use IPJ to buy directly from Froovie IPJ? Edited August 26, 2013 by Major Focker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfall Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Actually it's PIJ. I always mix the letters up. XDhttp://www.private-import-japan.com/ The fee is 20% instead of the 10% of Buyee but beside auctions, it also allows you to purchase directly from stores by clicking "SHOP"http://www.private-import-japan.com/shoporder.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_foul_fowl Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Does anyone have the concert orchestral CD? link Love the music but torn between getting either this or the OST part 1 to go with my order of the discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfall Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Don't be torn. OST 1 is the way to go. The concert CD is a bit... meh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The OST 1 is indeed brilliant, but was missing 'Red Scarf', so I just ordered OST 2 as well. This show has a great soundtrack too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antibiotictab Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think Buyee circumvents that problem. Or use IPJ to buy directly from Froovie. I got the answer from Froovie. It says they don't accept the international order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfall Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I got the answer from Froovie. It says they don't accept the international order. I've been buying stuff from Froovie and Yamato Crew using PIJ since Chapter 2 came out and no such problems. I finaly managed to stitch the 3rd ED Scroll together. That Desler and Starsha transition was a nightmare to manage and what you see here, flawed as it might be, is the best i can do. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii509/Luis_Cotovio/Yamato2199Scroll3_zpsdd49cf17.jpg~original Edited August 28, 2013 by westfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIJ can handle with the items from Froovie and Yamato Crew, I guess. Actually Froovie itself answered they can't do that. You have been ordering the items via PIJ, haven't you? It's an intermediary.

westfall Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I know. Unfortunately, unless one has a friend in Japan that can get these things, those shops won't allow international buyers. So, despite the fees associated, it's the only way to get this, besides at auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 the Earth Materials Collection is one stupendous art book. i don't think i've been this mesmerized since the Macross Gold Book. 3 things i really like about it: - a lot of the pictures have a human figure silhouette to give a sense of scale (eg. standing figure next to the main guns, or around the catapult deck) - the images/sketches/plans are very detailed, and more importantly, printed big. even the minor mech designs are of a decent size. not like the civilian vehicles in the Gold Book where you have to squint. rather than cramming many small images on a page, they gave these works of art proper due and this is probably the reason why the book is as thick as it is, and in fact just the first of two books. - landscape format. i usually prefer the standard portrait orientation for books since the landscape ones tend to stick out on my shelf. but given that most of the subject matter is more elongated than tall, it really just made sense that they're presented in landscape. this allowed for making prints bigger without having to do 2-page spreads. i'm going to have wet dreams tonight...

wm cheng Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I totally agree. Its one of the best art books I own. I love that they did all the designs by hand, then translated them into the digital realm. There's a fluidity that can't come from computer concepts like so many of the current Hollywood So-Cal schools of concept design. BTW, any place offering up the pre-order of the Gamilias Materials book (other than Amazon.jp)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfall Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cd Japan has it listed. It's a pity It's been delayed till the end of October. I got my EARTH today and it is indeed a work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks to Cybergundam for the images.

myk Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Definitely interested in those figures; they look good and might be a cheaper alternative to the $100+ price tag the current figures are selling for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfall Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 How big are those? I saw a couple of pictures but thought they were more of those fan figures. Hope Banpresto does more than just the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I wish the new 1/500 would have the option to display auxiliary hangar open. I've been considering building the current 1/500 with that modification along with others, but it would be nice if a kit would just include it instead. Would look much better too.

Oh. Sugoi. It seems that Nakano-san is a typical Japanese person; is hiding his personality. But so strict, IMHO. By the way, I will upload the photos I took yesterday gradually.

Hope Banpresto does more than just the girls. I'll still support the Megahouse lineup. But now they've made Okita hopefully they make Kodai, and Desler. The long shot would be Sado and Domel.

Tochiro Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Just came back from Yamatalk 7.1. Apart from getting to see previously unreleased mecha designs from 2199 (unused) , the other great thing about going to a Kazutaka Miyatake talkshow is hearing him accusing Yamato 2199 director Yutaka Izubuchi of being 'just like Kawamori!' .... It wasn't meant as a complement! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myk Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Probably means that Yutaka is a pain in the a@@ to work with, or something to that effect; probably was tongue-in-cheek comment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochiro Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Both were Kawamori and Izubuchi were mecha designers first before becoming directors. Which means the job of whatever mecha designer is working under them when they are Directing is tough because the Director has has more input and is more picky than usual. Also, Kawamori can be rather...interesting to work with at times. I mean, even Izubuchi is on record as saying to Ohnogi: 'Come on, I’ve gotta be easier to work with than [shoji] Kawamori, right?' lol. http://ourstarblazers.com/vault/310/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
