The Focker release date will be here soon. Just sayin!

I'm sure I'm happy Roy is getting closer, but damn my wallet!  

btw thanks for this gif @no3Ljm  

This arrived today at the post office, first armor parts ever in my figure collection, very very sturdy box of the VF 29, also no wonder why the DHL shipping was so expensive from AmiAmi the box the Valk came in was huge. 

cant wait to have mine, love the clear canopy and tight joints on the arms and legs, definitely those extra screws on the legs are welcome  

update:

Holy damn I just saw this, I think the tightness on the arms won't last too much   , does the old one have this same issue?

 wow it actually has a release date, that's really the surprising part  

Preorder up in AmiAmi for the new  Starscream , already order mine I think it looks great .

Also what kind of gerwalk is this lol

Cyclion looks great. I have a copy on pre-order too, and I'm really into how Goodsmile took the original garage kit (which is near impossible to find outside Japan) and made improvements to it. Here's a pre-review (not in English). The transformation from bot to motorcycle begins at 7:15s. I think there are some unique twists to that crouched robot expectation.

 

Really impressed by the how the transformation is perform, very very clean in my opinion , only the hands just a bit on the open side in bike mode, love those inner panels openings  and finally I wished the figure it was a tad bigger, still I think I will preorder one now.

Because Japan has not open PO officially. Now what we are seeing are just magazine pictures. 

Yeah that's was my original thought , but then again I got confused when I saw someone was able to preorder one, but all that is now clarified

Nope, not a Tamashii store. Instead the store always gets stock of the exclusives. Plus they always allocate stock before Japanese preorders are even open. Craziest thing is, they also happen to always deliver, even when other places reimburse your deposit. I’ve shopped with them for over 6 years and not once have they not come through. Only thing with the Full Cloth is they haven’t pinpointed the exact release, which is either March or April. 
 

Having said that, I’m still waiting on their Soul Red preorders to open. They always do Tamashii event items a few weeks or up to a few days before the event, once they can confirm stock amounts.

Thanks for the reply @Shukenzero, I was looking everywhere online to see for a available PO but didn't find any , I was like "from where did it order? can't find anything", but in the end was a very unique store you got your order  , I'm also trying to look up for a Soul Red or a normal version in a reasonable price,(lol reasonable)

Managed to preorder the Metal Build Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Cloth at a local retailer. Worked out to around $345US. Pricey but glad I held off the previous two.

Is that a Tamashi Retail Store ?, I don't see PO up not even on the Japanese Tamashi web store

Yeah, that's a virgin YF-21.  Congrats, Alex.  

holy damn really?, thank you so much @tekering for the confirmation, is triple the happiness now!! 

after years and years of searching for a Yamato 1/60 YF-21  for a reasonable price finally got one Figure A- , Box B

Still not sure if is totally new and not transformed, it came tightly wrapped around with this piece plastic:

also in the legs it has this portion of protective plastic:

If a fellow collector  here in the forums knows if this is totally new piece would be really nice to know, nonetheles I'm so happy I finally Have YF 21, Bandai your turn now

It isn't made by Bandai but it does have metal components. Looks so good, can't wait for mine to ship. And it's sooo shiny!!!

Credit to the youtube channel and creator. 

Wow!! this figure looks stunning, shiny and it looks hefty,  I don't know that much about the anime but when I see a nice looking robot figure like this one is a must buy!, guess will have to preorder now. 

Update:

It looks too damn good, just preorder for the second batch for December in AmiAmi. I hope is hefty , I really like hefty nice looking figures in my collection.

They are good in my book.

hehe mistakenly hit the save button, just wanted to ask how good / safe is Kuramatoys buy figures?.  

Metal Build / Saint Seiya figures arrived this week 

So awesome each one of them  

Glad that Arcadia releasing a normal version of this, still not sure but I think Arcadia is looking to see what sells more if a Premium finish or a normal version cause I mean when was the last time Arcadia did this in displaying and releasing two versions of the same Valk, nonetheless both are still effing expensive lol. 

I hope next is the YF 21 or the VF 19 Fire Valkyrie . 

Got one from AmiAmi. 

Supposedly these are new photos for the coming Arcadia VF-4A, posted today in Supre Mecha Facebook. 

Maybe today at night will be posted in AmiAmi and HLJ websites, if MSRP is 32,780 I think in the general store will be at 28 000 Y I guess, definitely getting one

I'm officially part of the club! Arrived at my doorstep today after a weird 10 day handling time. First hands on, this thing is A M A Z I N G. I thought I understood the hype, but now I really understand. Cant wait for the super parts!

very pretty isn't?, I still have it in a box

man I thought new stuff like release date was going to show up in this thread after seeing it revived, maybe this is whats next for Bandai.   

Will this be a mayhem PO like Roy ?, nahhh it will be a walk in the park 

it sure Bandai want's to squeeze every cent from Roy DX.

I'm just happy I got the PO only for Roy , maybe later on will get the supers. 

At min 12:25 am PST then 5 min later I manage to get an order from AmiAmi and the email confirmation too ,

The page started load up pretty quickly now with Orders Closed message, still didn't give up and after several F5's , surprise the Orange Add to cart button appeared! 

My last pending delivery from Mandarake Nayuta arrived today !

That picture is playing tricks on you. It's a lot smaller.

 

Sadly is true  , just saw a video afterwards and yes is kinda small.
