Or it could be W.M.M depending on how you look at it 😛
Kidding! Well that's silly, when their logo says "Macross WorldWide". Maybe they got it flipped... I honestly wouldn't put it past Bandai at this point since they have a past history of that.
Perhaps I've been reading the logo the wrong way and it actually says "WorldWide Macross Off Take" 😁
what!? Bandai flips the marking by mistake and claims its on purpose!? no they would never do that..
since WWW is world wide web,, I guess WWM for world wide Macross sounds about right.
For Bandai's staff explanation of their logo. Japanese text is written from top to bottom, with multiple columns of text progressing from right to left..
So if you cut up the logo and go from right side first and top to bottom. you will see WorldWide, then Macross, then Take, then Off.
ok, ok, "Macross" is split between column 2 and 3 , but since 4 of the letters is in the 2nd column we will round that off to the 2nd column instead of 3rd column.
same goes for the "Take" and "Off"

At 10cm, roughly 1/18.
Thx . Sigh….. if only they were 1/12 .
-
what scale are these figure?
-
maybe its because they see that most Macross fans are getting much older so they started using Months instead of Years to make it sound younger?
example: like a Female lady that is over 30 but she don't want to say it. So she says 28 years old and then in a softer voice "and 27 months".

I can't remember, but does p-bandai USA require paymont upfront? Had some surprise medical bills this month so I can't go too nuts on spending for a few weeks at least.
yes, they do.. and they charge TAX too.
I think they are suppose to open the 2nd batch Preorder at P-Bandai Japan on the 15th. so you can try again tonight.

Hey @68whiskey, can I be second in line in case @F360 backs out?
Ok , I’m out , it’s better for me to decide early to remove any more temptations.
hopefully it will make it easier for @68whiskey to plan his 2 orders. -

I agree BBTS will pull something funky. I usually save them as a last resort , not a big fan of their price gouging and extra long wait times. Do you potentially want to split a set of option parts? Was going to buy 2 for dual cannons so I may not have a need for second shield
hmmm,. that sounds very tempting, but most likely not right now, since Im still thinking if I will keep the MB Hi-Nu or Cancel it. Been too Busy lately and have slow way down on my collecting habits.

nice!!!!glad it's hefty in size
omg bandai just trolling without even disguising
it anymore
i swear they gave us an ugly shield on purpose and have no shame to offer another shield hours after the release. couldn't even wait a month or two.
The original artwork that they based on is clearly battle damage,,.. But I still can't figure out why they though this battle damage should be purple dots . its like a game of paint balls, but with gundams.
I feel the same, that is a bad move from them. They really made this Shield ugly,, lack of tempo markings. and white logo on white background.
I want the new Shield not but not enough to pay an option part that I don't need for it.

I'm sitting out the the Angel Birds. But for future reference, any tips/tricks for getting in on the initial release and/or preorder in hopes of paying retail. . . from the US?
I've only ever ordered stuff from HLJ and a couple things from CDJapan and Amazon.jp.
show up here on just before the preorder starts will be your best bet.

$1400 is going to put the hurt on the credit card
id like to see BBTS honor their $4 flat shipping on this
BBST will honor their $4 shipping. But the USA MSRP will not be $1400 . Base on the recent USA pricing. It will be around $179-$189 USD,, now add TAX to that, .. it will probably be cheaper getting it from japan.

Because the gunpod is a larger item. its probably best to use EMS if you want it fast since its still by Weight and not DIM Weight. or if you are ok on waiting a couple of months then Surface mail (BOAT)
I did a quick Quote at Japanpost with size and estimate weight of 4000g, and it will be around 11000 yen for EMS and Around 5000 yen for Surface (BOAT)

I wonder which US retailers will have those; especially the VF-0S. I know BBTS, EE, and other online ones likely will, but I wonder if we'd see them on shelves of GameStop, comic shops, or, a longshot, maybe some bigger Target stores? (They do get some Gundam stuff these days)
Would be great to see some brick and mortar availability again after nothing but Toynami...and usually just nothing.
VF-0S is the 2nd WWM itemVF-0S is the 3rd WWM item besides the VF-25 WWM edition , it have USA distribution. and preorder already started in the USA at the end of May. You can see the posting of the store that open up USA preorders on starting page 51Seeing these at Brick and mortar stores or shops will depend each individual shop. Do your local Target sell Bandai Figures that are over $150 or $200 each? If they do then you might see it, if not then you wont see it.

It hasn't been cancelled. I just wish BBTS didn't require an NRD for the Metal Builds so I could cancel the pre-order and pick-up EVA 00 from HLJ.
did you try comparing the difference in price even if you loss the down payment?
It might still be cheaper getting it from HLJ and lose the BBTS down payment
HLJ with shipping to USA by fedex is at 31,780 yen , is around 234 USD
At BBTS you will still need to pay the tax and the $4 shipping
-
for the HLJ Site you can still see the price in whatever currency you want , but it likes to default to where they think you are at... this option use to be in the upper middle right on the old site.
But with the new site its now on the bottom just under all those Facebook , Instagram twitter, links

Biginjapan is pretty reliable on selling only what they can get and they normally ship them out pretty fast once they received them. They had no issue or delay with the infamous Vf-31a.
But their pricing is normally higher. They also offer a forwarding service and an proxy service for times when other proxy used all their allocation.

DX Chogokin VF-25 Revival Ver (WWM Releases)

Posted
hmm, the one on the logo looks more like a VF-31 than the YF-29. so not really sure when they are going to do the WWM YF-19 maybe when they figure out the DX Chogokin yf-21?
