technoblue Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thinking about that 2-fer translation... We might get a box that is like the TV/DYRL Mass Production 1A, which includes one base figure and all the parts to make up both types. I'd be okay with that. Of course, I'd be tickled if we got two figures this time with all the parts included. I'm not so sure about getting stickers. That would be a big change for Bandai, who has been all about printed markings--even on these smaller scale HM-R releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 1 hour ago, Vifam7 said: The confusing part is that it says "2体 セットとしてのリリース" . Translation: a release as a 2-fer set. Google Translate: Release as two body set. In text description, '体' is always meant as body or figure. They always refer it to the main figure itself. So if the translation is right and for the price posted, it's safe to assume it will come with two figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Yep. And I'm glad stores like NY have still been around for Macross exclusives after many years of collecting. Looking at my order history, the Regult was around 7344 JPY before the discount so the price for the set is enough for 2 Regults and a little extra for the parts.

anime52k8 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Looking at MFC and HLJ retail price was 6,800JPY. If it's not two separate figures 15,120 is ludicrously high. Two missile pods and a sticker sheet are absolutely NOT worth $75 by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Some people are saying the translation says two figures. It would make a lot more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyNever Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 With these and the Arcadia sdf reissue, my Macross budget for the year would be wrecked. I'm kind of hoping these are due out early next year. It's also a little sad (and a maybe a comment on the state of the hobby) when people EXPECT to be gouged. 15k yen for 2 figures + 2 accessories seems pretty fair, but we're also thinking we can't get something like this without getting absolutely reamed. Maybe the inflated secondary market prices of Regults are affecting our perception, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 A set of 2 Regults with 1 type for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after some piecemeal translations, I've also determined it must be two Regults, one of each type for the package price. Actually a really good deal!

Sandman Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Weird how these toy releases come and go in phases. A couple of years ago who would've thought there would be all these regults? 3 hi metals and a 1/60 hk third party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Does it list what the entire package will contain? If it's with the base, I can understand the cost better, but that's still more than double what a single Regult was sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 ^ If it were just the two Regults and nothing else, I would completely agree with you, but it appears to be the Regults plus a set of Large Missiles Pod and a set of Small Missiles Pod... so, double the price of 2 Regults + the additional cost of 2 Pods, which makes the final price a lot more palatable. However, including the fancy stand would go a long way in sweetening the deal further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I guess I wasn't expecting the missiles to be that big a price bump, since they're just lumps of painted plastic, but there probably is a little articulation with them. The stand base would absolutely make the set worth it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 About time for these guys, I was really itching for these missile types, and being TWE doesn't bother me. I'm in for three sets, possibly four since it arrears you can essentially "convert" these into regular Regults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 with TWE at least there's no preorder madness, but then you lose the preorder discount and get slapped with TAX , proxy fee and upfront payment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It would be cool to have this many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Well, if it's both versions in a set, it's only about 400 yen more than two plain Regults MSRP. Basically 400 yen for two missile pods on variant marked Regults is a great price and deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I'm just guessing. It mentions something about order month being July and there's only a week left this month so it should be coming out soon. Unless they'll wait until Friday. Anybody knows if there is a day in the week that they usually do preorders? Edited July 24, 2017 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is one of those two days this week or next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Sheesh, so many figs coming out. Do we anticipate that these will sellout quickly or something more along the lines of the VF-2SS PO? Hopefully it will be a Friday night.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 So on these Regult sets, is there any indication on the images posted above that the missile pods are removable? I missed the first Regult, and was curious if I could essentially remove the pods and use them as standard Regults in certain cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear cannons on the Regult is a single piece that can be removed. You can have standard Regults or ones with the missile pod attachments. Here it is removed on an old pic of mine.
