Anyone notice this pic? That's not good.

Just ordered at CDjapan. Man that shipping is killer, I just opted for the registered sal. Not liking the paying up front either. 19 left as of 3:30 PST.

Actually, Amiami doesn't blacklist you if you just let it get canceled. They only blacklist you if you ASK to cancel.

Trust me, I know.. First hand lol!

That's weird. So to them it's worse to cancel ahead of time, versus flaking out on paying?

Got my email...nice.

Pay $150 up front and the rest in August.

Now...I'm the size of Kevin Hart...around 5'3" 145 lbs. I have a size Medium on order.

Would that be the right size?

Wow, we're like twins. I also opted for a medium Hikaru. Do they send a paypal invoice or something? They didn't really elaborate.

Whelp there goes another one. Just can't seem to get any of these Bandai preorders...

Back kibble is way ugly. Kawamori's designs get more kibbly-er with every new design. Pretty fighter though.

For some reason i only now noticed the seam on the back of the head. Is that gonna be in the production version too? Not a deal breaker but kind of annoying...

Up on Big In Japan for ¥26 250

Anyone have issues with Big In Japan packaging? I've only bought 2 things from them, but both times the packages are kind of packed half ass and the contents get here banged up.

Hooray for hassle free preorders! Unlike bandai renewals...

Sooo, do you still use the small wing pins with the hard point wings, or just the big pins?

Also, the one cracked triangle that I got right out of the box is now multiple cracks on both sides just from sitting on my shelf. Good stuff.

Don't think of it as overpaid. Think of it as getting what you wanted.

Nope I definitely overpaid. It was a bad gamble, hate playing this game with bandai.

Can someone post a picture of what they're masking so the paint doesn't rub? Is it so the cockpit doesn't rub against the backplate?

At this cost, I pray the QC is on point. I would have preferred a cheaper basic model and have all those accessories as a web shop exclusive for people who want them. Still, I'm in for one, maybe two.

Looks like the VF-27 keeps on falling in price. At Amazon JP its currently at 16,780 Yen shipped within Japan. Probably approx another 3,780-4,180 Yen to ship it via Tenso using EMS to USA and some otehr countries.

Wonderful, I overpaid for yet another Bandai dx...

Restocks galore right after I go the Tenso route, I really hate the timing on these things.

25K before shipping at NY is still quite pricy. I just put in another order last night at Amazon JP together with a VF-25F. Ended up costing me 21,000 for the VF-27, 14,380 for the VF-25F and 500 for shipping to Tenso. Tenso will most likely end up charging me 5,400 for shipping for both plus their 980 handling fee. All up 42,260 Yen for both shipped to me.

Not sure if amazon jp gives you a crappy rate or what, but 21500 yen converts to $230. Throw in $10 service fee and about $30 shipping from tenso and you're pretty much at NY's price. Anyone else in the US attempt this method?

Side view of fighter mode.

Jeez, is it really coming with all that? This thing is gonna cost a ton.

Got mine during release, barely opened today. Crack on triangle...

Cannon fodders were made to be destroyed I guess. Not even gonna bother transforming to check for missing pieces. You shall stay in fighter until the day you get shot down for being the grunt that you are.

Specifically, Takemikaduchi's. But if you got some others let me know.

Thanks.

So, I figured I'd try to clear some stuff out since space is limited, and funds are running low. All of these items are brand new. The prices listed are for cash or personal paypal payment. If you prefer a normal paypal transaction, please add 3% above asking price. I'm on the straight shooters list, and local meetups for so cal residents are okay.

-Macross 30, new/sealed, $90 pickup, $95 shipped

-Master Grade Freedom, new, $40, pm for shipping quote

-Master Grade Strike Freedom, new, $40, pm for shipping quote

-Master Grade Wing Zero Custom, new, $40, pm for shipping quote

Pm me for any other questions, or if interested.

Thanks.

The white one is supposed to be an exclusive that was packaged with the game. A box set type deal.

It's exclusive to the EU limited edition, and the Konami Style limited edition in Asia. I bought one on ebay, and I must say the figure is pretty awesome. The only issue I have is the scabbard doesn't hang off the back too well. The arm mechanism can't hold it at a solid angle, but it's still my favorite PAK.

Would anyone happen to know a way to get the Konami Style Premium Package? That white play arts kai Raiden has really peaked my interest. I can't seem to find any place to buy it online. All the UK retailers won't ship to the U.S either, which is bugging the hell out of me.

I went to two screenings for this movie last summer before they delayed it. Slightly different cuts with different endings.

It was okay, better than the first one. Still not that good though...

I had a feeling HLJ was gonna open the preorder tonight, but I didn't expect to be this soon either. I had to go out and pickup something, came back just to find out the bad news.

Edit: YesAsia price is too much, pass.

I checked hlj around 12 am PST before going to sleep and it wasn't up. I randomly wake up at 3 am, decide to check again, and it was already sold out. Madness...

Hmm, still in customs since 12/31 and no updates. Best $50 on shipping I've ever spent...

Missed that boat, oh Bandai and their schenanigans. Although, after the Alto 171 debacle, I'm pretty sure there will be multiple ways to get one at a decent price...
