this will give you a good idea of what a proxy store plan to charge for this item. 

Only like 3-4 dollars more...

Thanks bud!

Quick question, I know that POs are live tomorrow, already ask proxy if they can order, would they be able to order it for me when it goes live?

Or do I have to send them a link when the item goes live?

Yeah, would anyone share what proxy service is willing to do this?
I usually use Celga or Buyee but never ordered a pre-order item from either.

No, the strike parts are a Tamashi Web Exclusive. The 1S was regular release.

Oh God!

Which proxy service order directly from Tamashii Store? I am using FromJapan but don't see Tamashii Store option there.

Are you saying the 1S is available from Tamashii Store? 

May I ask what TWE is

Might just order from NY this weekend if no miracle stock shows up anywhere cheaper.
If they still have it ~_^

So what are the chances there might be more available on release day?

I've done pre-orders for toys but never like this.....

Ah, I was trying to search with Japanese characters

So I guess people are running bots on these sites like Mondo posters?

Orders like ours this high of unique quantity are sent into a blackhole as the security appliance thinks it is a possible attack.

When the Dengeki Hobby magazine scans came out a couple weeks ago, it had already mentioned that the skull markings are swappable to be compatible with DYRL versions of the -1A or -1S. The specific quote is 「両サイドのスカルマークは差し替えで、劇場版のS型、A型の各機種種に対応、今後の展開に期待せずにはいられない。」

Based on their description above, I’m more inclined to believe that the set’s markings are universally compatible with DYRL valks, and it’s anything but certain that Bandai will release the movie SSP set again based on their records of Tamashii Web Exclusive reissues (none to my knowledge).

While I appreciate Macross Central’s good intentions to share info, I am not sure if they are correct about this one. Anyone thinking of skipping this set for future DYRL specific releases for the black/blue/green skull emblems should do their own research and decide if they want to take this risk IMO. 

Then we can assume this release is a possible re-tooling?

Us paperboys used to ride the bus from the LAX area to DTLA and just go insane!
Other stop was Books Nippan on 6th.
Maybe get out with a Yamato or Megazone 23 poster...
Those more lucky had a ARII or IMAII model.
 

Sry, Forgive this old timer for derailing thread

 

Maybe in a couple of months we can find it here.
LOL, Inside joke for some of us old timers in LA
 

I'm not picky as to color scheme but I do like fast packs and the 1/48 scale.
I panel lined and hyper detailed my Yamato 1/48 1S with the aftermarket stickers that were available some time ago. 
Tampo work on this looks amazing, never could afford the Yamato weathered versions so gonna try my best.

Doubt anyone will answer but if I read correctly we have no idea who will offer pre-orders on their site?
Guess I'll just look on HLJ and if no go just suck it up

Ah,
it's clear now!

"マクロス25周年記念プロジェクト マクロス・マキシマムBOX" Disc 2 Track 4

https://www.amazon.co.jp/マクロス25周年記念プロジェクト-マクロス・マキシマムBOX-アニメ主題歌/dp/B000RG15F6/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&keywords=マクロス&language=en_US&qid=1559189627&rnid=562032&s=music&sr=1-24 

Thanks Guys!
That is definitely it

Really?
On this page it states there are vocals:
http://macross.anime.net/wiki/Macross_Generation:_Legend_of_Eternal_Songs

I recall hearing a version of Tenshi no Enogu (Angel's Paints) with no lyrics (Karaoke Version)
Can someone advise what Macross CD it might be on?

Uggh!
Garlands are such a beautiful design, Price point is actually right-on for nostalgia. 
Not thinking much of these were sold in the Japanese market. 
Maybe to some industrial designers for Honda in their 40's or 50's?

Wondering if Shinji Aramaki is respected as much as he should be in Japan.

He is all about CG now, has a production office stones throw away from my house.

Thanks for the unboxing vid's

For those interested in beating a dead horse like me

Looks like this seller on YJ has a 3D printed? replacement part on the Proto Garland he is auctioning.
I have no idea how he separated that piece. I'm going to examine mine, and if I find out how I will let you guys know.

If anyone that knows Japanese and has a YJ account the auction is here:
Garland Auction YJ

I would be down with a group buy of this part if it would be possible.
