  1. What's up with those? I thought the stocks got all snapped up?
  2. Darn, it seems to have been taken down, or sold out. I always miss out when this collection
  3. I collect a number of 1/6 and large figures from ThreeZero myself, so this would fit right in. The current prices of the original are also what's tempting me to get it. Maybe I'll watch a review video before ordering (couldn't quite find a written one for some reason)
  4. nice. I'm still not quite sure if I want it. I've long stopped being a big fan of the series, but there's something quite alluring about having a giant EVA-01 figure on display.
  5. Maybe the fact the Medicom put up a reissue preorder on the same day, for the RAH EVA-01 is a sign they're well aware people aren't going to be able to get this, so why not get a tall (390mm) EVA-01 instead
  6. Well, it wouldn't be the first time HLJ has done that. I'm just surprised it still happens
  7. off course, i have to sit in for a meeting half an hour before the PO goes live and get stuck in it for 2 hours to be able to preorder one
  8. Was refreshing and it suddenly came back! got one in. Fingers crossed this isn't one of their "oops we accidentally put out too many preorders" thing.
  9. Really kinda defeats the purpose of a reissue since they're usually plentiful when it comes to doing those. Maybe we'll see another reissue when the Unit 0 and 2 comes around
  10. let's be real here though. Metal Build scalping IS a real problem. It is just compounded by Bandai's refusal to make more, high demand, AND lousy servers on the big sites.
  11. this is so infuriating. I managed to add to cart, then when logging in, it keeps giving me errors due to "server busy". Then finally tells me it can't find my cart info and I gotta start over, and off course it sells out in the interim Maybe it's time to quit this hobby...
  12. I binged it over several days and just finished it. Having read the first series, I felt it was a little odd that they also made some significant changes to characters' personalities. Deviation from the comic helped expand a lot on the characters, though the TV series felt like it's doing its own things altogether (the MCU comparison is pretty apt). Plus it feels more grounded seeing it on TV. What was jarring for me though, were the occasional plot holes, and complete character personality change between episodes. Starting on the second comic series now, I realize there are certain characters and plot elements plucked from the laster series as well. It would be interesting to see how the series continues, having deviated so much right now. Side note: For some odd reason, I've always found Ellen Page characters to be unlikable, and it is somehow the same here. Her character just feels unlikable, despite being rather pitiful.
  13. Judging by the first Metal Build Mazinger, I figured this wouldn't sell out that quickly either. Not to mention there being more Gundam fans in general who like the Metal Build stuff, whereas the Mazinger Infinity designs are relatively new.

    Hi-Metal R

    Thanks for posting the CD Japan links. I was in absolute despair (not really) when all 3 big sites were a bust. This just reinforces the fact that I may never be able to score a DX Chogokin or Metal Build off the big 3 sites ever again.
  15. Probably because they went with this look (and apparently he is often seen with 3 robotic arms, though I understand it's possible to have 4?).
  16. The price came as a surprise at first, till I realized this was 1/6 scale. I'm not sure why they suddenly decided to jump to this scale, but the pricing is in-line with their 1/6 Ultraman figures under the Gentinel brand. Wonder if this means they may bring the Iron Man armors to 1/6 scale too.
  17. Everywhere was a dud except for HLJ, which kept me at checkout pg 1 and 2 for over an hour before finally kicking me back to Shopping cart to say it was out of stock. What a load of crap. I cannot imagine being able to remotely secure a DX Chogokin or any Metal Build down the road on Amiami and HLJ with their fancy but horribly slow sites. Maybe it's a sign I should quit the hobby...
