hachi

I can hear my wallet breathe a sigh of relief.

I hope it's not Q-Rau so I can sit it out.

HLJ is a tease. I'll have it sitting in the warehouse until I get my next paycheck.

Ordered a VF1A fighter. Yay for discounts!

Good for you guys. HLJ changed their release to October...boo. So the money I budgeted for this is gonna go to the stuff going on sale today.

Where can we get the novels? Will they be hard to get?

Both are on Amazon.

At least we got 2 novels out. I'll be supporting it by buying the novels.

I hope MyKombini has theirs up when I get home.

Didn't want to risk it with Nippon yasan, got the preorder at MyKombini.

I hope MyKombini has theirs up when I get home.

Nipponyasan looks like the best bet--though I'm not hopeful I could snatch one successfully there. Hope it doesn't sell out that quickly.

It's tomorrow!

Have people tried to preorder from P-Bandai before? How did you do it?

They're very close to the anime. They didn't take any liberties with the plot at all. They're a fun read, but the writing feels a bit stiff. I don't know if that is how the author writes or was more how it was translated.

Yang Wenli comes across as a bit more cynical and tough than he did in the anime. That might be be his seiyuu giving him a softer edge.

Have to admit the classical music OST gives the anime a special something missing from the book.

OK, will post my own comments once I get to read it myself.

What are your thoughts on the novel? I saw both volume 1 and volume 2 at my fave bookstore yesterday.

They could and have had Hikaru appear in numerous video game voice overs since Frontier became mainstream in the PSP and the last appearance I even know of was Macross 30 of which Mari was also apart of reprising her role as Minmay.

I for one will be glad when this series ends...I didn't get bit with the Delta bug like I did with Frontier or any of the other Macross incarnations to date. This imo has been one of Kawamori's worse projects next to Aquarion Evol. What's going on in this guys mind these last 15 years?

Was Logos better than Evol? I thought Evol was an OK sequel.

same at HLJ http://hlj.com/product/BANN11257

Don't worry about it too much.

It's a Figuarts Zero.

It'll prolly drop to cost less than 1000y about a week or so after release-date...

But...it's Mirage!!

Well, I've never bought such figures before so I don't know the situation.

But I just got a payment request from Hobby Search. Why?

How much is the Mirage flight suit figure? It doesn't need paint, right?

HLJ has now changed the release date for the TomyTec Delta 1/144 VF-31J Hayate and VF-31A and VF-31C to September... :/

Is this end of September? Or any date in September?

Glad to know I'm not the only waiting for that payment request email.

Reading this site makes my wallet cry...So tempting. Gonna look up my budget later if I have room for this.

Based on actual Votom's height spec which is 3.804m, 1/35 scale is around 10.86cm.

Thanks!

How big is a 1/35?

I've lowered my expectations for this series now. I'm just hoping there's going to be a movie that tells a better story.

Nothing particularly exciting. Actually, I'm pretty disappointed that the RG line is dipping into BF when there are a TON of MS I'd rather see. Even if I exclude UC, since everyone knows I'm a UC purist, I'm still waiting for the other four hero Gundam from Wing, any Gundam from 00 besides Setsuna's, Infinite Justice, Turn A, Gundam X, etc...

Do you think chances of them announcing the other 4 GWing mobile suits are slim?
