  1. Looks impressive on Arcadia's retake on the 51. Can anyone digi-bash it into Nora's version (it doesn't have to be spot on colourwise if possible?) Pricewise for 36.8k yen is still a chunk of change for many of us.
  2. @PsYcHoDyNaMiX I might have missed out on some of the numbers out as I was getting ready to crash for the day. So that means HLJ had a limit of how many 31e that they could offer, not put a cap after an allotted number of pre-orders and just let it roll after reaching the limit?
  3. This is quite interesting.. From all the replies of HLJ of the cancelled 31e from some members here, I did some "guestimating". If you had pre-ordered Chuck right when the orders where opened if the servers didn't crap out and other factors, both @Shukenzero and @Mommar ordered where safe (low digits: 13900099 and 13900100) and the higher the order number beyond @Chronocidal #1390149 (according to his post) got the chopping block. So saying between #13900100 and maybe up to maybe #1390140 (I'm guessing here if you did get Chuck's 31e along with other stuff as well?) you where considered in the "safe zone" and that means you'll get your orders as requested. The highest number order was @spacemanoeuvres #1390168 in which got the axe as well.
  4. Posted on Toyark for those Ms. Danvers fans. https://news.toyark.com/2019/02/08/captain-marvel-1-6-scale-figure-by-hot-toys-331657
  5. I back tracked to Shizuka's list of the links. It's still listed as 1 per customer and I think that I must be getting it mixed up with something else.. That downvote arrow should be meant for me not @no3Ljm! I'll take the blame..
  6. I think the limit was up to 20 copies (per one account) from what I've seen on HLJ's PO madness. So there is a possibility that someone did snap up extra copies upon the orders opening and flipping it later on. Honestly saying, for those members that have their PO of Chuck's 31e cancelled, you can try proxies as well (FromJapan, Buyee, etc..) as you might have a better chance of getting it there. Edit: Also at your discretion as well. @Sandman - I'm sure that your Amazon.jp provider for your Chuck's 31e wouldn't charge you yet until they get it and then ask you for the S&H later.
  7. Wait a minute here.. Didn't you also got burnt with the 31a as well (from what I recall)? If my memory serves me correctly, didn't @Slave IV get burnt from mycombini (or is it another provider) on the 31a as well? I'm sure that others got "fried to a crisp" on the 31a pre-orders as well. If Arad's 31a does get made (hopefully from the second Delta movie), will it be easier to acquire this particular release or not?
  8. The clips from the Movie F (for the Draken and then you put Keith's Drakens on it) do pop off easily when you fiddle with it as I did use it for a photoshoot with Mirage/Lil'Draken set up. 14k yen for the Movie F is definitely worth the purchase if anyone passed over Messer's 31f originally.
  9. Check out @Xigfrid's post back in October 4th, 2018 on page 101 (head laser replacement instructions).
  10. That's going to make us double dip for both copies of Ivanoff's 51 (regular and PE) for those that want it which we know well. Get the regular and then the PE which makes us sell off the regular version afterwards? Can't wait to see the pics of the semi-finished 51 and the PE VE-1 during WonderFest. I'm more interested in the PE VE-1 than the 51 honestly speaking.
  11. This thread is going to be covered with Macross goodness very shortly.. HMR VF-4G, HMR VF-1D, Arcadia's PE VE-1 and Chuck's 31e (that's not counting the VF-1J tuxedo valk, the Lil'Drakens for the Movie 31f and the missile pack for the DX VF-1J). This is one heck of a bang for 2019. Oh.. Before I forget about this one, for those who are celebrating the Asian New Year (Lunar Calendar) very soon: Kung Hei Fai Choi. In Mandarin: Xie Qui Li (did I get this right as Mando is not my mother tongue).
  12. I believe that that they still haven't met the 600 pre-orders requirement to make the 1/60 Thunder Hummer Armoured Set. @Saburo: Any further details that you might want to add since your working with Fext Hobby to get exposure on this project?
  13. That's why it pays off to get it during the pre-orders madness and avoid the markup fees later on. Due to respect, a fair amount of us adhere to date/times of the pre-orders and others will forget every now and then. It all happens to each and everyone else.
  14. Just went on Fext Hobby's FB page and thought you might be interested for those that are not on FB. Here's the rundown for the "Project 600": Owl One 1/60 Armour Update (as per their post): ""PROJECT 600" will be ended tomorrow (1 Dec., 2018), it's a pity we still haven't got enough pre-orders to kick off the project. We want to thank you again for backers for the support & made the pre-orders for this campaign. RE: EXTENDED PROJECT 600! (As of January 31, 2019) We think PROJECT 600 is still a potential campaign, so we would like to extend the project time for 3 more months (ends on 1 Mar., 2019) for a better campaign with new Armour color options! We would like to increase the Armour options to 5 instead of 2, so Fans can have more choices! For those backers who already paid are free to change the color options by informing our CS dept. (cs@fexthobby.com). New pre-order information of new color options will be posted in our online store in 2 days! The project schedule will be same as before, in coming 3 months, if we receive 600 pre-orders (Assorted style), we will officially start the mould & bring this item alive in another 5 months (excluding factory new year vacation from mid of January, 2019 – end of February, 2019). A deposit of U$15. is required for each Pre-order (Product Price: US$ 77.90). Deposit will be refunded if the campaign doesn’t reach 600 pcs. pre-order after 3 months. Incase the campaign successfully reaches the target, deposit is not refundable & all supporters need to pay the balance before delivery of the goods (individual mail will be sent to all supporters to finish the complete deal!). Remarks: Shipping charge to be advised separately once final packaging format fixed. NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO BRING THE PROJECT ALIVE! PAYMENT RETURN for Backers: For backer who needs refund, pls. mail order details to cs@fexthobby.com, we shall follow your case accordingly." Note: They're still missing a lot of pre-orders as per the write up 9 weeks ago.
  15. The Frontier 171EX Alto got snapped up quickly within 17 seconds (according to what Shin mentioned on another site) and I think Luca's was opened a bit longer. Chuck's 31e has a foldable randome (unlike Luca's unit as an separate complete dish) and armed. With Luca's, the vane attachments are shown and not hidden (both on the 25 and 171), while with Chuck's, its the randome that folds in and stays hidden unless you know where to look for it.
  16. Don't forget the Jamming Birds as well (if they do make a few)!
  17. I believe that Keith's Hs is clogging up the shelves and no one wants to buy it (even on Manda). So has it become another 171 situation? Over engineered and a pain the butt to attempt the transformation; therefore no one else wants to even get a copy.
  18. Manda has the listing of the DX VF-1J sold out for now as proxies are now another option. As for other places in Japan, good luck in finding one as it might be sold out after release day. I think that Hikaru's Strike will be the first one then Roy's Strike a few months later based on the HMR release. I could be wrong and say that Roy's will be first and then Hikaru's. The M&M, Kakizali, Hikaru's 1a, 1D, and others will follow.
  19. The Ba 262 will be the most reasonable as it was in the Movie and the NUNS 171 are just a blip on the screen. Which one had more screen time (or is equal): 31a or the NUNS 171? I say it was the 31a do to the Armoured packs. So now where waiting for the Armoured/ Supers for the rest of the 31 valks for now? I think that Arad's 31a will be squished into the list. Edit: I think the second round of the 31a will be easier if Arad's version was made.

    Macross figures

    Will there be anything for additional future figure releases during WonderFest (or not)?
  21. Even with all the shenanigans that we put up with you @Shizuka the Cat, your talent of keeping things organized is a valuable resource for those who joined in the madness somewhat later on during the initial run. Going to see the proxies later on today and how much their asking for.
