Based on Arcadia's Proto-Garland product webpage: http://arcadia.ac/products/detail.php?product_id=291

It is indeed comes via the first batch release.

 

Thanks

Can anyone confirm the page count?
Or maybe some quick pics of the contents?

Does the book only come with the first batch of releases?
Or is it a web exclusive? About how many pages?

Really didn't think this would sell out so quick, was too involved trying to get a Bandai Hikaru VF-1S...

To answer some questions:

→The new animated content on the disc clocks in at approx. 15mins. 
→The event on the 14th is a live audience broadcast of Macross Won’t Stop as well as (I think) a screening of a bit of the bluray. 
→The greater amount of content on the disc is not really similar to the 20th Ann. disc and is more like a 3hr long episode of Macross Won’t Stop.

Thanks much....

Still on the fence about ordering though

For those that might not be into the Macross won't stop shenanigans.
Would this be a viable purchase for someone interested in the TV series valkyries?
In other words, am I getting my hopes up expecting something like the 20th anniversary dvd?

For those of you who bought into this kit...will you be removing the seem from the canopy?

It’s hard to see from this picture but when you see the video the seems really stands out.

That sucks!

toothpaste?

Thank you.

... No way I can afford it with my commitment to the Yamato, but totally intrigued.

The Yamato is about $110 shipped for 4 kits a month (buying 2 at a time).  Total cost over 110 weeks (2 years and 6 weeks): $3000

So about $1300 a year.  Mind you, 1/3 of what you're paying for is shipping.  Mine is about 1/3 built, and its VERY impressive thus far.

Check out this test someone did thus far: 

 

You must be shipping via EMS?
I'm shipping via SAL and my calculations show total cost for the Yamato at $2172.5 / 4 issues shipped per month to LA, Calif
Just hope nothing gets lost using SAL, so far I have been lucky

Is MyKombini a better place to have a pre-order open for the April SSP's ?

Part broke while transforming my 1J. It's an easy enough fix, but considering it's a part that doesn't move at all, it shouldn't break so easily.

Very shoddy, Bandai.

So sorry about that, this did wonders for my Yamato 1/48 and Proto Garland when the plastic started having stress fails.

Oh, that sucks. I've been using Tamiya Extra thin cement. It's worked very well thus far. I will probably work to put paper between panels to help reduce light bleed this weekend. 

Thankfully 1000 grit sandpaper and polishing with toothpaste saved the day

For the light bleed I purchased some black 3M masking tape, hopefully heat won't affect it over time. 

For those building the 1/350 by Hachette, word of warning.
Do not use cyano activator on any of the blue pieces, and I assume any other plastic parts.

It attacks the plastic

I think that the super parts come with a new fighter mode stand adapter. The battroid and gerwalk probably work as-is.

How did i miss that, I'm such a burnout

Was it ever confirmed if the included stands will accommodate displaying super parts?

Grrr.... way to rub it in and kick us when we're down, why don't you... ?  

Congrats, guys!

No sarcasm intended.... 

I feel bad for all the peep's that helped me secure one that during delivery day got pre-orders cancelled.
Totally Sucks!

HLJ Managed to get my VF-1S order out. I ordered the other night when it was released, not months ago. It made it to my Private warehouse and now it's in FedEx's hands. I consider myself extremely lucky.

You and I by the grace of God.

Sorry to hear about others getting pre-orders cancelled. 
 

$40 to ship EMS?
This thing that heavy?

i think that this means that the items aren't fully processed on their end, so the shipping isn't determined yet...?  anyone got more solid info on that?

Mine is shippable now

Does it normally take time for an item to become available or is that a bad sign? Luckily for me I was able to request shipping on mine.

Mine is showing as not shippable also, am I the odd man out? 

Kurama toys now shows $0
So looks like database issue/sold out?

I managed to get my HLJ order in pretty early before this site reported it.  I got a pretty low order number I think and its not showing up in my orders... am I screwed?  

 

Site is having issues, did you get a confirmation email?

1 minute ago, chyll2 said:

or HLJ site crashed again and accepted more than allotment haha. WE can only speculate but in terms of release date, it should be tomorrow (or this week)

HLJ will ban you for ordering multiple for items with 1 limit per household

Sounds like an Oracle database issue, that is ridiculous.
I'm sure that can be argued successfully with a customer service email, however not when it in in a cart and time is of the essence.

Lots of E-commerce info in this thread

Crap. I think I ordered two by mistake since I never got confirmation for first one.  But now I just got both confirmation emails.  I hope I can cancel or unload the extra one.  

First world problems ~_^
