  1. YES! Looks like the Melkia will be the next preorder and we'll find out if all those accessories are coming with it OR if we need to buy that "Optional accessory kit". I'm hoping the accessory kit is just a way for people to get their exisiting scopedogs those parts and the Melkia is fully kitted out.
  2. The planned Toynami release just became vaporware!
  3. I'd love all of them! So many good options. If they do a Melkia version, I hope they load it up with accessories to be more interesting.
  4. No, pre-orders we're at the same time but one month apart delivery.
  5. Yes, and I'm still sad that they haven't sent me the part they promised for my Roy because they cannot ship to the US... Not sure how that makes sense.
  6. Miria is on it's way to me now.
  7. Hopefully it swivels on a peg like Revoltech because that would easily resolve the issue.
  8. It would have been fun if they made this a super combo like the other reissues they've been doing.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Boring... but I guess it's fun they've changed the number from 03 to 10....
  10. I like the step in transformation where it's GERWALK with the torso of battroid... Looks a little like a riding the horse Halloween costume.
  11. Hong Kong seems to be handling the tariffs particularly poorly... It can be a real struggle to get things out of HK for some reason.
  12. It would be pretty wild if they couldn't pass on costs that didn't exist previously. My impression from Kickstarter is that the protections lie almost entirely with the company, not the backers.
  13. @captain america had a Sentinel improvement kit with additional weapons and face shields without the pattern.
  14. Depending on where they're shipping to, it's the shipping costs and tariffs that are making things less fun
  15. Any reputable US stores that have a history of not charging out of state tax? Gotta save every $ I can at this price range. Big toy was NOT built well.
  16. Yeah, good to know the parts that broke all the time are improved, I also had my waist tabs break and there's no mention of making those heartier. The joints look like they all work the same though which means this won't compare well to the HMR.
  17. I see HLJ is once again using 30% as the duty rate. They are just dying to lose all their US customer business.
  18. That may be the same adapter that's included with the YF-19 which has lower legs when the supers are installed.
  19. Is the DX mistransformed? I thought there was a panel on the inside of the leg that covered the gap. Very surprised there are no uniboob covers!
  20. To bad they couldn't figure out an extension gimmick for the grip to make it last flat but, even then, it would have to be nearly lying on the ground to clear the waist area.
  21. We have that thread on store policies, I'm going to start listing my shipping and duty experiences there. If it prices out that HLJ is double taxing everyone, then we can adjust our buying habits until they figure it out.
  22. HLJ just got back to me insisting "the rate is correct" so I'm going to see what other stores charge me. I love HLJ, would hate to have to stop using them because they go overboard with these things. If it's universal, then I might have to cool off some purchases for a while!
  23. I also have the SDF-1 on order and some other high ticket items. Hopefully we can convince them to change their tactic.
  24. HLJ hasn't responded but I think I get what they're doing, they're applying the Chinese tariff rate because the products originated in China. That's really following 'the letter of the law' as they say. I don't think that's what Anime Export did.
  25. This IS nothing so far me... Haven't heard a peep.
