Where’s @Saburo when you need him to product shots? 

So you’re avoiding the Spinning Wheel of Death, website crashes, cart jacking and the usual DX pre-order shenanigans right @derex3592?  

Ha ha ha… I should have known that the King of HMR is trying to sway more converts into getting into the line up (that is if Bandai will get off their comfortable chairs and put out the rest of the teased projects and not sweep it under the rug.

I think January 12th at 4pm JST is the correct date for it or unless you want a Mezco One: 12 figure that’s about to drop at the same date (It’s mostly their Rumble Society/Slugfest figures in house figures that they offering up of grabs [in which I read it’s either a hit or utter garbage depending on who you want to believe]). 
 

Edit: So unless you want to attempt the spinning wheels of death and seal your fate, there’s also the other option. 

Anyone still waiting for Doom like myself? Might be in the second batch. 

Watch this be another month for this and other delayed items gets cleared out form both warehouse locations. 

 @Sildani - Since December has passed with ZERO pre-order annoucements, then January 10 will be the next logical date at 4 pm JST.  Usual web stores: HLJ, AE and others will list it. The North American shores will have this listed some time in February/March as it's a MWW release. 

Jungle has revamped their website again as I just poked into the website sometime last week. 
 

It still doesn’t have much stock, but they pulled out the “Sold Out” items and it’s easier to look through now then the convoluted mess from previous versions. 

Bandai just wants more $$$, so guaranteed that they’re going to pull all dirtbag moves on us to fall for the shady tricks that they have up their sleeve. 

So who still is on a Ramen diet (for the past 4 years since this was teased) and has other options to save up money for this?
 

No doubt that some of us are in the doghouse since we blew the budget away during Christmas and New Year’s celebrations right by over gorging on turkey, truffles, prime port liqueur, expensive wine, caviar, etc.. 

Mezco’s release date is all over the place and it’s all based on Mezco’s own schedule and when they fell like shipping it out. 
 

I’ve read that Gaslights Batsy still has not been shipped out to those customers that pre-ordered it two years ago from Mezco’s website (even though the email states that it may take them over 6-8 weeks in shipping it out plus the warehouse is rammed with incoming stock from either Fife or New York locations). They set out the processing email for Gaslights Batsy in November if IIRC with FF and Doom a few weeks later. 
 

From Toypaige,  posted yesterday.

They also teased Bogue's (Booger) Ba and it never surfaced after that tease.  The Elvis Hs and Mirage's Ba where the only model kits done. 

Quote from the first Batman Movie: “Did you ever dance with the devil under the pale moonlight?” 

Just got this in my email folder. 

Two versions of the same plane but with two very high demanding pilots at the helm. 
So who’s going to drive the other pilot into insanity first? 🤣

Those wings are most likely to droop downwards if the Ghosts are there for a very long time. 
 

Why give it to Haya Haya in the first place since it looks better blended in with Keith’s Hs? 

What an extensive list of existing DX VF-1 and possible variants @grogall! 

I’m with @Slave IVas well: DX VF-1s Max (DYRL) and a VE-1 (even though I have the Arcadia version and the HMR one as well). 

There was squawking about Mezco about dropping White/Kiba Ranger two days after Christmas and another nitpicky items. This drop was not your normal wait and see if it will shelfwarm, however it was "Sold Out" in 2 1/2 hrs and then reverted to Waitlist status if anyone wanted it later on. Note that I did get an order in after 55 mins of it going live at 10 am PST/1pm EST. 

 An advance warning: 

From Toypaige's Youtube page: We're going to get another drop at the above date, unknown what it will be. 

I might get White/Kiba Ranger after passing over Green/Dragon Ranger the first time round. Saba is a given with the accessories, however what else can be included?  

Guaranteed that someone will end up using the heavy duty and major strong Goof Off/Goo Gone or any corrosive spirits to burn the paint off and melt the plastic down to the unrepairable state. 

Or take it as battle damage for a diorama display session.

By the way, any advice about how to remove the tampo without affecting the plastic?

@tekering removed the tampographs from the DX 19 (Full Set) on the wings. He also posted what was used, however had to put another thin layer of Black Tamiya paint on to fill in the spots that was removed in the process of removing the tampographs. 
 

Can anyone post that specific quote from the DX 19 Full Set Thread if found? 

Although it has been discussed so many times about the inconsistency between the 2 versions of the 21, looking forward to see the Yammie 21/22 and the DX 21 hand in hand.   

Bandai loves to screw everyone over @Bolt and they hand out empty promises (just like Howard Chan since he's the CEO of Hot Toys). Tease all the product to grab attention and 95% of the time, we get nothing in return.
