oh my god.

R.I.P. Tony Scott.

26,985 yen

So according to our poll, less than 25% of us will get it.

RAWR!

Looks awesome! can't wait to get one.

I asked a yamato rep and he said final price was not set. "Will probably be 20,000 yen plus 5-6,000 maybe more. Will try to keep it under 30,000.

Man, it is nice. love the fighter mode!

Even if we are lucky, that is 25000 yen, it would be like 320 USD plus whatever the shipping cost... Still too much.

can't wait to see more from Wonderfest later.

Oh, thanks for the clarification, I would’ve never got that from your post.

IMO Bandai’s prices aren’t for casual buyers either; and even if they were, the fact that they produce so little numbers as to get all the pre-orders taken in a matter of minutes can only mean these toys are aimed at hardcore collectors only.

Their Japan offical cost are-

Yamato VF-17: 24,800 yen

Bandai VF-171 EX: 14,700 yen

Bandai VF-171 is 10,000 yen (around 120 US dollars) cheaper than VF-17. There must be something Yamato can work on.

Why do you say so? It's not like the VF-17S's doing badly, it has already been reisued and never as a limited edition.

Lower prices would be great though.

I am more refer to...

Bandai's 171 has better complex packaging, competitive price point, nice ready decals and free stands etc.

I understand that it is a little unfair to compare with Macross Seven (1994) toys with Macross Frontiers (2008) toys, there are 14 years gap between them! Yamato's high price point cretainly push some casual collectors away.

_{I hope Yamato learn something from Bandai VF-171. I think VF171 DX sell extreme well compare with VF-17.}

_{Yamato should lower its price. Not just target the hardcord Macross fans.}

Bandai REALLY needs to make a GFFMC Banshee out of the unicorn mold they have.

yes, I want a GFFMC Banshee too.

finally...

Nippon Yasan just ship my order. My 171 is on its way.

Got my shipping notices finally... Guess the system is a bit slow.

I am hoping the order list, shipping list and shipping notice would update at the same time in the future!

I have similar problem... ordered a VF1A ealier with some pre-order stuff last week.

Today I login, there are some order items missing... and never get any shipping notice from them! Now I am pretty confuse.

Is that fully crouching mode 'legit'? I haven't played MGS 4 yet, but I don't remember seeing any pics of REX compressed like that.

If it's 1/72 scale it's going to be pretty small.

It is 20 cm tall. Not that small.

Oh Yes!!!

and I am getting these.

I am speechless.

Watched it, love it.

It is a story exits in the same universe as the ALIEN but a different timeline. Events are somewhat related, but it is not a prequel at all.

AND it is not a horror movie, instead it is a thrilling 'exciting' ride!

In case you like some Prometheus Toys.... news from Neca.

A Prometheus Line is Coming Up This Summer

We’re extremely excited about the upcoming film from Ridley Scott and have our hands full with a new line of figures. We’ll probably be able to show some Prometheus sculpts by the end of June.

just finish watching it.. another great ep.

Good to know they extend the series to seven chapters.

wow, amazing!

Once Unicorn is done, I assume Gundam: The Origin should be next!

Hot Toys 1/6 metal gear figures: Boss and Naked Snake.

I wouldn't think it is the LV-426 planet that they crash into...

Anyway, less than 3 months to go... I can't wait!
