Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Tking22 replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I've had these guys for about two weeks, forgot to post pics. I gotta say, the First Order Troopers are the nicest, most well made white armor trooper figures that Figuarts have put out, they are what I expected the OG Stormtrooper and Clone Troopers to be like. That said, I still love them all, Clones and the kind of meh Stormtroopers too, they all look great.

Don't hold your breath on HLJ, they are the absolute slowest when it comes to listing new Bandai items on their site. When the Regult pre-orders went up, I wanted to grab at least one and possibly a Figuarts Captain Phasma, neither of those were listed on their site until nearly 24 hours later, they popped up at random times. Keep your eye on AmiAmi, NY, CDJapan, Animeexport, and HobbySearch.

Yeah I was going to comment on the masked head too, compared to my AOU version, it looks super derpy and off as well. I mean, this could and probably is still an early prototype, but damn, the head on this thing looks awful no matter how you slice it. I think it's in the mouth and cheeks, he just looks terrible either way, not sure what happened here, just repaint and if you absolutely have to, slightly retool the AOU Cap, he was perfectly fine. This new Cap looks laughably bad, like something went very wrong, I'm baffled at the people saying they'll be upgrading to this version JUST for the head. Really? THAT head? To each their own I guess.
-
Yeah I saw those earlier, it doesn't look much different from the AOU Cap, so I'll be passing. And that unmasked Steve head looks insanely, blatantly, terrible. What's the deal Figuarts?

I'd definitely say Firehouse, I'm picking mine up while I'm on lunch Monday, and from the reviews I've seen, the set is incredible. I doubt you'll find the official instructions anytime soon, and even then, it's just too many pieces and it's too complex to be feasible, if you want this set, now is the time to get it. -
So I've got a request, I hope someone can help me out. Can anyone that has them, take photos of and compare the Hi-Metal R Hikaru 1S with one of the old Hi-Metal DYRL 1As? I'm really wondering about the color, were the old DYRL Hi-Metals made in the same bright white as the other old Hi-Metals? Or were they more greyish like the Hi-Metal Rs? I wouldn't care which, any 1A would work, Hikaru, Max, or Kakizaki, I just want to know if the colors match or if they would look awkward together.

I guess I haven't posted any of my recent goodies, probably won't be able to mess with anything until later this weekend though, sorry about the picture quality, I took these with a potato. This is a Private Warehouse from HLJ, a Pile of Loot from BBTS, an order from Toywiz for the Lego Ideas sets, and while I was out Xmas shopping about three weeks ago I grabbed the Lego Star Destroyer. I should have gotten the Lego Ideas sets long ago, I was in Back to the Future fever at the time I ordered the Dalorean and Ecto-1, and I probably paid more then I should have for Doc and Marty, but that's what I get for sitting on them and not buying for over a year. I like my Hi-Metal of course, and I managed to snag a Zoids Berserk Fuhrer for just $55 from HLJ, now I can build him up and put him next to the late season Blitz Team. I'm baffled at how many MP Transformers I have now, I told myself to just get ironhide when he drops, and I do indeed have him on pre-order, but since then I've bought 9 MP cars and Optimus, it is definitely a slippery slope folks.

No First Order Troopers to go with Kylo? -
I still like it, and it still looks miles better then what Affleck wore.
-
Oh frakking crap... The big reveals are New Years Day. Ant-Man? Falcon? Winter Soldier? Cross-Bones? Mother frakking Black mother frakking Panther? My mind is racing, I'm extremely excited.
-
I finally got a payment request from HLJ for Kylo and a Trooper, it seems HLJ is just like that sometimes, if you got a pre-order in, don't worry, it will go through, they just really like to take their time. HLJ did this with Darth Maul, Vader, Luke, and my Clones and Droids.

Not delivered, it was out for delivery in Utah, but the address wasn't even real or valid, so the status updated to Return to Sender, and now It's on its way back to NY. They apparently shipped it out to a non-existent address, it wasn't even valid, I don't know where the hell they attempted to send it to. And now, the long wait...
-
I'm baffled at how you can chalk up a possible breach of contract to whining, but whatever.
-
But he had a contract and agreement with the theater, does that mean nothing? If having a contract broken because a huge corporate a-hole with a mouse for a mascot whined harder then damn, I just don't even .

Well I'm not getting my Hi-Metal Hikaru 1S by Christmas, or anytime soon for that matter. NY sent my frakking package to Salt Lake City, Utah, I'm in Vegas...I don't know what my options are at this point, I already put in a complaint ticket, and they already responded and said they'll contact Japan Post and see what they can do, which I'm guessing is nothing. With mail service how it currently is, I'm not hopeful in them getting the package back anytime soon, that is if they even do get it back and it doesn't get lost in this Christmas mess. They won't just replace it, they won't refund me either, granted, if I wanted, I could have Paypal MAKE them give me my money back, but I'm not sure how well they'd take that, especially with me having already paid off a Figuarts Hulkbuster and Hi-Metal Roy for future release. Now I know why lots of people don't use NY, they've shipped to me before, but this was just a stupid, blatant mistake.

Did you even read the article? I think Tarantino is absolutely in the right to be pissed on this one, he has nothing against Star Wars, he's rightfully pissed about the childish petty bullshit corporate Disney pulled. Disney threatened to not show Star Wars at this theater over this, that is some really, really lame crap right there. http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/16/quentin-tarantino-peeved-about-star-wars-the-force-awakens This article, which does have an unfortunately click-baity title as well, sheds a little more light. Disney wanted an extended run for Star Wars, they asked theaters to pull Hateful Eight, Tarantino was already in an agreement with a contract to have his film shown in 70mm like he wanted at the premier, but Disney, being the a-holes they are, threatened to pull all showings of Star Wars at this theater if they didn't give into to Disney's whining. Tarantino isn't getting his premier for his new film as he was promised thanks to Disney being terrible. I get the Star Wars hype is in full swing, but there's no way you can't look at this and not understand Tarantino's point of view, and that Disney was absolutely in the wrong for handling this this way, they suck.

Yeah I'll definitely be getting two of every cannon fodder variant, that heavy weapons trooper looks awesome!
-
Ditto here. Does he mean stand adapter?
-
Kylo Ren gallery. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51967367.html Looks good to me, I'm glad I passed on all that Black Series crap, I'll be sticking with Figuarts, I think they've all been pretty fantastic so far.

HLJ had First Order Troopers and Kylo back up for pre-order last night for about 15 minutes, I managed to snag one of each. It seems we're getting closer to release, so hopefully all of you that missed out can camp HLJ and the other usual guys to grab a pre-order if you still want to.

I get that, and I was aware long ago about this change of policy, my problem is they never outlined details for it, or how long before release they would start sending out payment requests. I expected, at earliest, maybe a month or two before release to get a payment request, but this is barely a month after I pre-ordered they already want their money. This pay later option isn't all that helpful in my opinion, yes I didn't have to pay exactly on the spot at the time of the order, but a month after pre-order? That isn't very helpful at all, if they were more up front with their time frames I'd be more forgiving, but they gave no details, they just said certain Bandai items can no longer be put on pay later, and they didn't give info on when pay later items would need to be paid for, once again, barely a month after pre-order means pretty much nothing to me. Sucky overall, I'll still end up getting a Roy 1S, but not from NY, not like this, as others said, this lack of details threw my budgeting off, I wasn't expecting to have to pay for an April release item now.
-
I got one too, pretty sucky in my opinion. I signed up for pay later, which I guess technically is happening, but later apparently means about a month later, not roughly at around time of release. Unfortunately I don't have it now, so I'm letting it cancel, this policy is pretty idiotic, maybe they should start labeling when they will decide to send out the still really early payment requests, just labeling the option pay later when it only gives you a little over a month after you pre-order to pay is not only shady in my opinion, but also barely correct advertising of the pay later function. Here we are at Christmas, and they are demanding $100 for a figure that won't release until April, go frakk yourself NY.
-
That looks like a ton of fun, Bebop and Rocksteady look great. I really liked the first one, so I'll be there opening weekend, Stephen Amell as Casey Jones works for me too. Turtles certainly look less "cluttered" this time around, and yes, almost a bit smaller, not as small or as drastic a change as I think they initially let on, but I'll take it, plus actual foot ninjas, not just dudes with guns. The Shell Raiser looks pretty awesome, plus it actually launches man hole covers!
-
I believe just yesterday or the day before AmiAmi had more Regults up, for like 15 minutes. If you miss out on this first batch, I'd keep an eye open for when they announce the pre-order date for the missile variants, hopefully on those you can remove the missile bits and have just a basic Regult too.
-
I went ahead and grabbed a Hikaru 1S on NY, the price dipped to $91 from the $108 it was at just last night. I figured the price wouldn't move anywhere but up, so I might as well grab it now while I can. After EMS shipping, and paying in yen, I got away at $110 shipped, not too terrible, more then I wanted to pay, but I wanted it pretty badly so there you go.
