jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I can report that my HMR Regult, that came in a box that barely fit it from CDJapan, has no broken head lasers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 im glad to hear everyone's Regults are all in good order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbit Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Received mine from Mykombini. They had good service and good shipping price. Although I made a mistake in the shopping cart, they cancelled it immediately. Its good to have another option in the market. I just wonder if they will learn to give more pre-order discounts in the future to compete with Amiami and HLJ, or if they will go the Nippon Yassan route with mark-ups.

I just wonder if they will learn to give more pre-order discounts in the future to compete with Amiami and HLJ, or if they will go the Nippon Yassan route with mark-ups. I think it's a misconception that NY doesn't give discounts similar to Amiami and HLJ. In fact, most of the time NY's item prices are lower than either of those 2 vendors during the initial stock. They only start marking it up if their stock runs out and they need to acquire new stock, but even then they don't always increase their prices. For other vendors, usually when their initial stock runs out, they don't get new stock until the item is released. Some people have pointed out that NY's shipping is more expensive, but I never really experienced a huge disparity in their shipping prices compared to the other vendors (maybe because I live closer to Japan). Although I've noticed lately that NY doesn't restock as often as before, and Amiami seems to have been able to reopen preorders more often.

Lolicon Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Finally got my Regults. It's the first HMR purchase I've made that I'm actually happy with. Looks great and is quite stable on its big feet. It comes with a Tamashii stand in the box... good job Bandai! Don't include them with the VF-1 (which could really use it) and include them with the Regult (which doesn't really need it). So how dirty would a Regult be after being in service for 500,000 cycles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The side thrusters are loose on mine, but it's a non issue. They don't hold any weight and are well balanced so they don't move on their own. The rear cannons on mine are just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 has anyone got theirs with the rear laser cannons broken off? or was I the only sucker who did.. though im thinking it was due to being stuffed in a suit case for the flight from HK that did it.. If your suitcase went through the conveyor system, I could believe that it got broken. I have seen how those suitcases get thrown around. I would suggest if traveling in the future to put your loot in a carry on bag. I can't trust the airport goons to even have a tiny bit of care for your luggage.

Jinyol Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 crap! My Hi-metal R Macross toy line is growing... and no problems with my rear lasers. I am loving the HMR toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatsing Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Can't loose joints be fixed with a thin layer of clear nail polish? I heard that works for some toys. For ball joints. Probably not for the thrusters or the rear cannons. It would gunk up the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 You might be able to apply a tiny piece of clear tape to the inside of the thrusters to add a bit of friction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatsing Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Unscrewing the parts or tightening the screws probably tighten the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Obviously if you can get to a screw then trying to tighten it should be the first effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 More pix: one of the Glaug's arm guns is up side down! If your suitcase went through the conveyor system, I could believe that it got broken. I have seen how those suitcases get thrown around. I would suggest if traveling in the future to put your loot in a carry on bag. I can't trust the airport goons to even have a tiny bit of care for your luggage. When she told me that it was in her suit case I did cringe a little but I didn't want to hurt her feelings and tell her is was broken because of that. I glued them back on so its all good.

Big s Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'd be worried about messing up the paint around the thrusters if using any liquids, but you can easily fit some tape in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The HMR Regults display well with the HMR Valkyries. This line is very cool and I can't wait for the Glaugs, Monsters, and everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order now folks. Btw, for products at that price level, Amiami requires you do it registered/tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenrir72 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'd hesitate doing this (if I were a Valkyrie pilot) if this was one of Millia's sisters. Iirc, all the Meltrans are genetically designed like Hideo Kojima's Beauty and the Beast Units. As in too hot and sexy to kill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
