Thanks @Slave IV, @ScrambledValkyrie, and @vlenhoff. I’m thinking of working on a Blue Spartan or VF-1A Cavaliers next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, there is a delay in processing/deliveries since there are more packages this year because they upped the tax-free limit for stuff. I am very much tempted to just go to the post office and just claim it. Unfortunately travelling takes time and I would still have to inquire beforehand to know which post office has it.

ScrambledValkyrie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 And while NY typically does that (offer items at much higher prices after the initial PO is over and regular stock has come in) they have very little competition on these since there were exclusives. Speaking of PO, the HMR Elint Seeker seems to still be available for Y7990 at MyKombini. https://mykombini.com/en/january-2018/8561-hi-metal-r-ve-1-elintseeker-macross-do-you-remember-love-bandai-4549660192923.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The Regult Missile Type Set is also available at Loopaza for $171.99 but the shipping cost is pretty high. https://www.loopaza.com/hi-metal-r-regult-missile-type-set.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Given the limited edition nature of the Missile set release, I'm glad i secured 2 of them... one to open and one to keep MISB. Unless Bandai decides to release each missile type Regult individually in the future, the price on this set will only go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Looks like anime export is finally shipping out missile regults. They are also shipping my vf-2ss. I agree with others that it's a shame Bandai made the missile set a web exclusive. I'd maybe be tempted to buy another set or 2 after release if the prices didn't get crazy, but being a web exclusive they already are pretty high. I'll save the army building for the Nous-ger or maybe the Q-rau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Nippon-Yassan is still processing my Regults. The Mexican customs are really slow anyway so I've learned patience a long time ago. I'm buying only the amount of pieces for a convincing diorama, so I've no need for extras, thank God: One Glaug, Three normal Regults and one missile type set so you get the idea. I'll have to get two of the Scout types tho'. I'm a sucker for that one Edited December 27, 2017 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'll say it again, NY not allowing TWE items to be combined after purchase in INCREDIBLY stupid. My two Missile Regult sets just got out of customs and will be delivered Saturday, I wake up this morning to two more NY emails saying my Figuarts Homecoming Home-Made Suit Spidey and MK whatever the hell MK Ironman was on in Homecoming set just shipped out, and my Robot ANIME GM Sniper just shipped, same day, an hour apart. I've asked before, well before any items shipped or were even in stock, and they really just won't allow it. And now this happens every month, I'll get two, sometimes three of four packages shipped out from them, just days apart, sometimes hours. Very frustrating.

Yeah, though if everything is still available they have let me cancel and re-order everything as one. Going to try asking if they can add an item to an existing order, as there's a Gurren Lagann that I'd like to ship with my premium SDF-1.

Even if there’s no ‘canon’ supers for Cavaliers, I’m sure it’s still not going to stop you for making a custom one, right? Btw, that’s a good Cavaliers custom figure.

If the q-raus are going to be implemented in the lineup, is there a possibility that Bandai might look back into the Robot Spirits (Damashii) ones and make the proper changes (if so, I can really pick up a Milia/Max dual. If not then the regular version will do also). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the future Nousjadeul-Ger and Queadluun-Rau releases: TWE or standard release. Doesn’t matter. Just release them. All variants.

Slave IV Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Looking good @sh9000! Yeah, i don't really care how the releases come, just give them all to me! It's either stay up late and frantically hope to catch a preorder or not worry about it but pay more and right away. Personally, I'd rather deal with the stress because I hate paying up front.

ChandlerYohn Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi Hachi, great to see the packaging on these. It's a very cool set and nice to see that you can even configure them with lasers in lieu of the missiles. Take care and thanks so much for sharing.
