I've still given up on this actually arriving, but I was very surprised to see this note from NY in my inbox about my Focker parts (I figure I'll have to track them down on Manda)

Have been going back and forth with them since November to ship a missle set. The first note said I had to change shipping options. Sent them a response. Took a month between replies. They said they couldn't use that option. I asked them what options I had. Another month. Got my options and selected. Then more waiting. Had just about given up when they said just today they are finally shipping.

DHL came through as usual. Got mine today from hlj. Two days to michigan 

DHL showing Monday,  but seeing it's only one state away I'm hoping tomorrow. Can't wait. 

Got one at Anime Export. Thanks for the link

Got a Max PO through hlj. Using my phone too. Will have to fire up the pooter for this PO. But still planning on having to pay out the nose to NY like the 1A

Hlj just processed my payment for the legioss

DHL surprised me as well today. Great addition to the set. 

Phew, totally missed this, but HLJ still had preorders up this morning. So much easier than trying to snag a dx. 

Got a confirmation email already

Got my shipping notice from HLJ late last night. Should have Friday. 

From what I've read here about the fast packs,  we don't have to worry about PO madness to order them? Just wondering if I need to set my alarm again

Got cart jacked on one site. Hlj had circle of death and kept timing out. 

Ended up payjng NY 300 shipped. Was on the fence about this one. I've already got a yamato. Would rather have scored a J when it was first out. Guess I could always sell 

Managed to get one from hlj about 330et. Got a couple of email confirmations. Probably get a rejected email I imagine. They showed orders stopped about the same mine went through

Anyone have on of these they'd be willing to part with?  I'm looking for the unpainted kit.  I believe it is 1/6 or 1/8 scale?

thanks!

I do plan on buying a cockpit set for 1/48 248003

I might be in but have to wait until early next year. Can we pay 140 for one piece and then buy the next when we have the cash? Or is it all in up front? If I have to come up with it all at once it will take me a year to save (gotta keep it hidden from the wife!)

One of my grail kits!! I used to check this site constantly while you were working on it just to see if you had provided any updates. Can't believe it has been that long.

I will probably wait for a Strike version too. But what I really want is an Ostrich. But I am sure I will buy every version at some point.

Along those lines, decal questions. They're still pretty much "soak in water until pliable, then slide off onto plastic", right? How much soak time do Hasagawa decals need before bcoming pliable?

And one question that's been really bugging me: Dee-cal or deh-cal?

Yes, still soak in water. The warmer the water the faster they come off the backing. If the water is cold it could take a couple minutes. If the water is warm it could be 30 seconds. And you have to take into account the size of decal as well.
