    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    It landed with a thud.
  2. So when buying from Amazon.co.jp, do you register for a brand new account unrelated to your US account? I assume you don't also get prime on that account? Are they linked somehow? I tried logging in once using my US info and, not surprisingly, got an error saying it didn't recognize the email address.

    I blame SK for how ugly the M&M VF-4 schemes are. I would probably get a VF-4G over the M&Ms (but realistically, I'd get them all).

    "Illegal" is probably the wrong term as it invokes visions of law enforcement. This is civil stuff. I don't think there's anything against the law about selling toys overseas, it's just that, the toy manufacturers have contracts that say that THEY can't market or distribute overseas and so they make that clear with their wholesalers and so the stores can't come to them and say "my overseas customers need replacement parts" because they're not supposed to be selling overseas.

    Sure, i could complain to a mod, and have that mod complain to you, or I can just say "hey guys, this isn't the right place for this discussion we've all seen in four different threads now." I don't think that should hurt anyone's feelings....

    This discussion belongs in the "where to buy" thread. This thread is about Hi-Metal R toys.

    Yeah, they can be brutal on shipping charges and they give minimal incentive to combine shipping. Usually their price plus shipping is still pretty competitive
  8. Note you can get a damaged box even cheaper at amiami... It at least you could earlier today.

    You probably at least need to go to Gerwalk and back, maybe just VTOL mode if you're lucky.

    Sounds like a decent reason to miss a preorder.

    Someone pointed out it seems to be stuck on 2.

    I'm gonna be so high on sugar, I'm gonna hit that PO button, ride the adrenaline train for like ten minutes, and then crash so hard.
  13. Might be swappable parts though... But I'm thinking fixed cruiser.

    Yeah, hlj has been awful. Even just during normal shopping the prices sometimes don't load and the site thinks it has no stock. Might be real tough to get a preorder in.
  15. I wonder if that background pairs with 1/18 scale figures? Looks a bit small for that... But if it doesn't I'm really at a loss for what it's means to go with. Obviously it works suitably for other applications nit picking aside. I think a generic repair bay background for robot spirits sized toys and HMR would be a slam dunk. Add some repair tools and vehicles for bonus of my cash.

    I don't think he meant "low production numbers" as in quantity of toys produced in each production run, I think he meant fewer releases.
  17. gorgeous!
  18. For series 2 they should have just inverted the colors from series 1 making white the trim with the bodies in what had been the trim color.
  19. If you're on a phone and can't see it because of the white background and don't know how to do a CTRL+F on a phone, it's $170CAD.
  20. I don't see what's happening? Is it just that the back of the forearms are not point down? If so, I didn't think that took a mod:

    Wow, that pic makes gerwalk look good.

    Hi-Metal R

    I was thinking the same, more uniform application of the trim color seems a good thing to me. We will see how it all looks in hand though.

    Hi-Metal R

    Why do you think chocolate isn't the right color?
  24. jenius

    Hi-Metal R

    I think this will be like the VF-2, not the craziest preorder. It's expensive and not as much appeal as some other releases.
  25. The Megahouse Cosmo Fleet was 20.3cm long or 1/5800... so this is practically the same.
