	So they introduced a gay character and you told your kids they couldn't watch the show any more? Never... Ever... Let them go to college.
- 
	Is this maybe an Aegis Focker scheme? I'm not very familiar with the video games...
- 
	So are you saying you're upset because you preordered three FB2012 schemes and you would have just gotten one if you knew these were coming?

	I have a NES Mini and a SNES mini but I have no desire to get a Playstation mini. I think playing Star Fox on the SNES Mini was such a painful reminder of the early adoption of 3D. The reason SNES and NES Minis work are the 2D games. The Playstation/Saturn years are the video game industry's "awkward" period. It's fun to revisit childhood, it's fun to revisit early adulthood, but I'm not going to pay for the opportunity to experience the awkward in-between stage.

	It also makes sense in case people love the look and want to buy one set for each of their vf31 toys.

	Yes, there is evidence, Yamato tried and failed, then Bandai started down that line before they were abruptly shut down. Companies who get a BW license are forbidden from pursuing international distribution under any name.
- 
	If they were serious about doing it as a DX it makes your point about limiting Arcadias avenues even more valid. That said, a DX VF-19Kai would not be a simple repaint of a VF-19Advance or YF-19 so how serious Bandai is of going down that road remains to be seen.
- 
	Bandai hasn't done any teasing of a VF-19 HMR. They teased a DX VF-19 but it was a 3D print and paint, not something that looked like they were seriously working on.
- 
	If I hadn't preordered one already, I'd definitely preorder one now. Backpack sits a little high in battloid but that's a minor quibble.

	It landed with a thud.

	  The Transformers Thread (licensed) Nextjenius replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction 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
- 
	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.
- 
	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.
- 
	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.
