  1. HLJ has been very sporadic on premium Arcadia releases... I wouldn't expect them to put this up right on time though I hope I'm wrong.
  2. I think I misread your question but I don't think it changes the answer. TRU exclusive 1 being Chirico + dog and TRU exclusive 2 being Parachute + dog. The second giftset looks to me like it sold in September 2005 and it looks like version 2 started in 2006.
  3. As luck would have it, I was literally playing with my TRU Yamato Red Shoulder+Chirico a moment ago... it's definitely V1.

    It's an obvious attempt to get SDF Macross fans into Delta and vice versa.

    I suspect it will be plentiful upon release. You can still easily head Messer and Hayate even isn't that hard with a modest premium.
  6. It seemed appropriate to me. She was saying that she was introduced to Star Wars by Lucas putting it back in theaters and that maybe Cameron will introduce new fans to his work by putting it back in theaters and then she discusses the differences between their two approaches.
  7. As a like 13 year old boy, I was totally entertained.
  8. thanks for the review Tekering, being a non modeler I'm always curious about the models.

    I can't believe they would ever release that scheme... so random.
  10. My review is up! check it out on anymoon.com. Thanks!
  11. Be careful with HLJ's return policy, you have 10 days to pack it up and get it out or they'll tell you to go fish. You might be better off since you've already reached out to them but they're strict on that generally. I don't think the'll wait for you to get a replacement part and then attempt surgery and then send it back to them.
  12. ooh you just got this from HLJ so you could do a return there yeah?
  13. Well, you have essentially the exact same toy, so are the new markings worth it to you? That's all it comes down to.
  14. Ya know... spent $500 on a toy and instantly had a loose part... kinda sours the experience. Also, ripping a glued on part with pliers could prove unfun and then, what if he screws up gluing on a new part? Who wants to perform surgery on a new toy let alone a $500 one? I mean, if he's a modeler in his spare time this might not be too stressful but otherwise it sounds pretty lame. Yes, it's still a whole lot better than being left high-and-dry like he would be if this were a Macross toy.
  15. My honeymoon was also short-lived, I had a foot break right off :(. They seem pretty cool on the customer service side of things though. It sounds like if I mail it back (at my own expense) they will refurb it for me (and presumably mail it back to me at their expense). I'm working on my review now but a spoiler... this toy is pretty awesome in all respects except durability. It's gorgeous and fun... provided nothing breaks. The part that broke on my toy seems like it should be made of metal... it's a plastic U that takes pressure in every possible direction. If Arcadia or anyone else ever revisits Votoms I hope it gets done in 1/24 or 1/18 scale.
  16. Second... Yamato never reissued it, first release for Arcadia... not sure if you want to count the PF as a third reissue.
  17. Is it a ball joint and socket and they're telling you to replace the original socket? Would the old clear nail polish in the socket trick solve the problem?
  18. When shipped.
  19. Do you think "closing" means starting? I assumed that had something to do with the November release but that wouldn't make a lot of sense.
  20. Well Max is theoretically due out in December and we haven't been able to preorder him yet so this is probably not going up for preorder until January right?
  21. Did you go retail or exclusive?

    Just referring to year-end sales... they happen around the end of the year

    Yeah... Defender may be a good black Friday sale item... I may end up with a squad.
  24. NY, AE, Big in Japan, HLJ might but that has been very limited lately.
