Still waiting on Hlj confirmation. Getting worried now that there is an order stop
Don't worry, it'll come through!

Wow Amiami was going to let me place the order I clicked return instead, I already got my 2 at HS.
Same happened to me, I guess AmiAmi does prevent cart jacking? Page said order was closed but I was still proceeding fine with the item in my cart.
Edit: n/m... maybe cuz they added more stock for ordering. lol

Thanks, been looking to get some Regults - kept missing the pre-order windows. Never used that site before though, anyone else have experience with mykombini.com? I know someone mentioned they had pretty good feedback on eBay (back on Page 58), but I don't see much mention of them on the Net.

Edit 2: n/m... Didn't see the first pic from my phone... lol ^_^'

Try to get them on Mandarake - they were much cheaper. Got Sheryl for 8000 yen and Ranka for 6000 yen.
Both came in today, took some quick shots too.
Definitely wasn't expecting so much "fan service" on these two figures. Guess I've only been looking at them from the front in all the preview photos and never paid attention to what they looked like from behind. lolVery vibrant colours though, definitely liking how they turned out. <3

Sheryl Nome is actually a deep character if you look at her. She seems arrogant, conceited, and self absorbed, but this is a pretense she puts up to cover her deep seated fear and insecurity. She's a really caring individual, and it shows at several points in the series. Her character, despite the pretense, is honest and warm. I actually like the complexity in her character design. She's beautiful and she knows it, and she uses that to her advantage, except with Alto. She actually shows a great amount of affection towards him, and seems to genuinely care about him.
That's the reason I like Sheryl's character...there's much more to her than her appearance, especially the affection she shows towards Alto. Rushing to the hospital, trying to peel an apple for him, trying to cook, reaching her arms out to him at the end of the movie, etc. She's definitely not shallow, as some people have claimed her to be.
Edit: Forgot to mention the act of sacrificing herself to save Ranka in the movie! ;-)

I hope they all end up being Tamashii web exclusives.

I was already logged in on AmiAmi when the '19 got posted and I was able to start the checkout process, but got cart jacked.
I thought AmiAmi prevented cart jacking - if you were able to add it to the cart, it should've been "reserved" until you were able to check out fully (unless you took way too long)? One reason why they seem to go from "Pre Order Soon" to "Pre Order Closed" in a second.
I remember getting the VF-25F renewal from AmiAmi, added to cart but then the subsequent pages took minutes to load; in the end I was still able to check out with what I had in my cart though (probably 5 minutes or so in total).

LOL happened to me as well, couldn't log back in to cancel my extra order. Sent HLJ an e-mail explaining the situation, will see what they say. Honestly, didn't see they had a one order limit. ^_^'If they suspended your account, just write to them and ask them why and if they said you broke their policy just apologies to them and let them know it was by mistake as you though the first order didn't go through.
Edit: Account unlocked by HLJ. Woot!
-
Yeah, it went by really fast, I didn't even bother reading if HLJ had a limit. I ordered one, then thought maybe I'll order another one and made a separate order. Wasn't trying to bypass the limit on purpose, just changed my mind and decided to get 2 - could always cancel the extra one if I change my mind later... That's what I like about ordering from HLJ.
If there is a limit, HLJ will cancel the extra order... guess we'll see. Oops!
-
Thanks HLJ! Whew... now back to bed!
-
Up on HLJ!
-
Anyone know when the pre- order window on this closes?...or an educated guess on the timeframe as to when these typically close?
Usually when the online shop's allocated pieces are "sold out". If you're on the fence, might as well order from HLJ as you can cancel the pre-order any time before the release date, should you need/want to.

Received my Roy today, the packaging was a joke. Helmet was fine though, overall not too bad for the early bird price. There are some minor QA issues such as paint chip, mis-aligned decals. Good thing is, I think the SMS and UN Spacy logos on the side should be able to be removed easily. No more M-911 text on the arrows, though one side is slightly mis-aligned.
I got a large, which in essence only meant a smaller padding. I found the overall helmet a bit tight on my big noggin (7 1/2). I thought Masei said they would include multiple padding sizes just in case, but mine came pre-installed with the large only.Edit: Oh yeah, it would've been nice if they had used a black interior liner rather than the red (unless you were getting a Hikaru version). =p
-
I'm sure someone will ask.... will the decal of the arrow line up properly on the helmets we're receiving?
The pre-production sample photos had the side arrows aligned at least...
-
cool, got an e-mail from Masei:
Thanks for your pre-ordering Macross Helmets.
We are finally ready to ship them out within 10 days on Dec 20-24th; the ETA is around Dec 28th to Jan 5th.
We have Red/Yellow/Blue Macross Helmets to ship out.
If you order different and special colors, then it may cost 2-3 weeks more.
Due to the requests from many pre-ordering customers, we revised the graphics with "M911"
and it is why it was delayed for one month more. Please go to our facebook page to see the final products
and liners & pads.
Also, for any new orders, US$359.00 including shipping fee is necessary.
Also, this helmet purchase comes with a clear shield only.
Now, we have silver and blue (or rainbow) chrome shield.
If you want the tinted shield (silver or blue chrome), it is US$45 only for each. Let me know.
Guess removing the M911 decal is one of the reasons why it got delayed.

Now that we're in November, are there any updates and possibly photos of the Roy and max coloured helmets?

Sing with me: MAKUROS, MAKUROS *da da da da* MAAAAAAKUUUUUUROOOOOOOOOOOOS *sing*
Yes, that is actually what finally clued me in... LOL Guess I just wasn't paying attention to the word "Makuros"... I was just reading SD-style SDF-1 and stopping there.

Still available at HLJ. Wouldn't it be nice if all the other HM-R pre-orders were like this?! ^_^'
