  1. Do the shops in japan buy and sell bootlegs at all?
  2. Well, that's just messed up. Somebody either did an insider-job of stealing and selling the moulds to the bootlegging syndicates, or the bootleggers straight up copied the moulds from existing toys. Either way, it'll be really interesting in how Arcadia will combat this issue. Just moaning and whining on twitter and/or other media platforms ain't gonna help. Premium-pricing their valks to the stratosphere certainly ain't gonna help. Maybe they'll just put a box sticker stating "Genuine scalper-priced Arcadia product"...
  3. The funny thing about this bootlegging issue is... the bootleggers might just possibly get the correct tv/ova-accurate colors on their bootlegged valks and FPs!
  4. I'm a bit surprised it took so long for the KO people to be attempting this. Arcadia's ridiculously expensive pricing coupled with the lack of availability of fan-wanted items/accessories are just ripe for those bootleggers to exploit. Afaict, anything made in China (or even Vietnam and elsewhere asian factories) are bootlegged rather easily. Arcadia better smarten up and produce the stuff the fans want and at the pricing the fans can actually justifiably afford...
  5. Imho, all bandai stuff are overpriced for their sizes. Especially their scalper-friendly TWE stuff. I wish the HMR-Dougram msrp was around 6k-7k yen, instead of around the 13k-yen mark. It is what it is, tho. That said, HMR-Dougram is still a much better toy and a much better buy than say, ET's VF2SS (all incarnations) valks. The HMR-Dougram has ridiculously excellent articulations and the proportions and weight are very balanced. It's a very solid and satisfying toy. Just gotta get 'em with the best po-discounts if/when getting 'em to soften the financial blow...

    Hi-Metal R

    For combined items, it does not matter if one or more items are already in stock. Ami won't send a charge until all items are in stock for that particular month. If an item gets pushed into another month (like April) for its release-date, then ami will separate and send notifications about that delayed item and will then charge for the items already in-stock for the month of March.

    It'll prolly be a bit cheaper if you combined the Monster and the 262 into one EMS (or even DHL) shipping at ami, instead of separate shipping for each. Not sure what the weight-limits for EMS/DHL, tho. Ask Ami how much the shipping-fees will be if you combine them. Oh, and you won't get charged until all items for the specific month (march/17) are officially released.

  13. Sure, but the awesome english-version of Macross Plus can be had for around $14-$20 locally at some Incredible Universe outfit back in '95, iirc. Not to mention the various ubiquitous cheap rental-shops back then. Unless, of course, you rather go to Suncoast to get fleeced out of $40 or more for the same version...
  14. Yeah, but... The exchange-rate value back then in July/1984 was like 237-yen to 1-usd...
  15. Just want the M&M Super VF-1J's next after Hikkie's Strike-1S...
  16. Are you guys cancelling just the 2202-BDs or also other 2202 collectibles?
