    I have to watch the movie again and decide how many packs I want. Definitely two for Hikaru and Roy. But I don't remember Max using the packs in the movie, only in the TV series. And I don't remember the whole skull squadron in the movie with packs either. Personally I going toward DYRL for Hikaru and Roy, and TV for Max and Milia. Then calling it good after that. And to add my two cents to the "buy now or wait" discussion, I imagine Bandai re-releasing variants. At roughly $190 per figure they are priced to sell. Plus the different variations of the VF-1 are heads and paint. Most of the tampo would be the same also. With the exception of the brownies they could easily re-release the current figures later on. It might be three or five years from now, but they could do it. If they re-released SOC Voltron what is stopping them from re-releasing VF-1. With a basebody the makes up 90% of the VF-1 and all three figure selling out, they are printing money at this point.

    I wasn't able to grab one last night but hopefully some more pre-orders will open up later. If I am remembering correctly the VF-1J had a few pre-orders open up after the initial release. I got my VF-1J at MSRP from HLJ and didn't stay up for pre-order madness.

    Same here

    HLJ is up

    I was very tempted to pick up the Dragon Ball Super SHF figures. I really like the movie but did not have the money.

    Well played Bandai. I was going to skip the hyper mega cannon release but they added the funnel effects.

    Per Taghobby link the VF-1S is a regular release, coming out in November. This thing is going to be so hard to get. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/372376

    Hopefully pre-ordering won't be crazy. I imagine the price (26,400 yen) and it being a P-Bandai will slow some people down. P-Bandai Metal Builds do sell out but it can take a couple hours to a day before all the pre-orders are gone. I have the X-1 and definitely think the X-2 is worth it. It looks just as good and comes with all the X-1 accessories plus you get two extra weapons. The lance and fold out canon are unique to the X-2. There is little doubt that we will get a X-3, X-1 Kai, and Full Cloth in the next two years. I am surprised Bandai took so long to get the X-2 up for pre-order. They have got plenty of variants to make from the main story. Which personally helps me justify buying multiple copies of the same metal build. All of the variants Bandai could make are cannon. When they start making variants that only in a side story manga for two pages that was never translated and cost $300 plus, it gets a little hard to justify. I know there are more Crossbone gundams that appear in Ghost and Dust but I figure those five would be a good start.

    Very tempting. I am not sure if I want to wait for a John Wick from Chapter 3 or get this one because it comes with so much stuff. But the material they used for the suit does not look the best. Does Mezco's Gizmo figure use that same material?

    Did Bandai release a waterslide sheet for the RG Sazabi?

    I feel emotional drained but damn was that a fantastic movie.
  12. General Rasp
    You are 100% right and if this was the first shipment back in February I would understand.
  13. General Rasp
    And pre-ordered at BBTS. Nice to see Mezco do Moon Knight. I always thought their style would work well for this character. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/93076

    Nippon-Yasan are just a bunch of scalpers. The 2nd release of the Robot Spirits Nightingale came in and NY is asking for more money. "Unfortunately this order is bigger than expected therefore we will have to ask you for additional shipping" BS, you knew how big the figure was from the first shipment. I am switching to someone else for P-Bandai orders. Are the third party proxy site prices comparable to NY, like FromJapan or Buyee? I would just stick with BBTS but US sellers get even more expensive. I am paying 29,380 yen with EMS shipping plus the "additional fee" of 1,400 yen for a total of 30,780 yen or 275.02 usd. BBTS list price was 385.00.

    It is interesting that they are announcing both the kit and add-on parts at the same time. Bandai usually waits to announce add-ons until the model is released, or closer to release date. I expect to see a Heavy Weapon System add-on or separate release but wonder what else they are planning if they are pushing the double fin funnels all ready. Hopefully we will see some effect parts for the fin funnels and some waterslides.

    Does anyone know if there a good way to monitor Amazon Japan pages via Distill? I have been getting errors or notifications every minute.

    I wonder if we will be getting the Red Frame Dragon with the three caletvwch. Bandai does love produces remolds with slightly different equipment. Speaking of, where is the X-2? That remold I am actually interested in buying.

    Hopefully more pre-orders will come later. The VF-1J had a couple of times pre-orders were added. At least through HLJ, can't say for the other sites. Does anyone know if there is a good way to monitor Amazon Japan via Distill? I get errors or random notifications every time the page is refreshed.
  19. General Rasp
    I think the teaser is for our wallets being infinitely empty.
  20. General Rasp
    Nice pick on the Zeong, how do you like it?
  21. General Rasp
    Wow are these going fast!
  22. General Rasp
    Thanks!!
  23. General Rasp
    They are sold out, they won't let me checkout.
  24. General Rasp
    I am getting both hopefully through HLJ or Amazon Japan.

    It is only for the Aile Strike. I don't have it personally but I imagine the connector is specific for the Aile Strike.
