  1. What Millia fig? I don't see a PO for that one on their website. Or is someone else dipping into figs and I missed it?
  2. Considering how low the bar is set by Toynami (not even remotely acceptable), and not everyone wants to paint a still model statue, those are pretty much the only real options, so I don't mind the minor issues with their figures at all. Are they perfect? No, but good enough. That's about it, but at least someone is making an effort. I hope they release the pilot figure tho, and PLEASE bring on the other characters especially Kakizaki, Global, Claudia, and the bridge bunnies in that order. I'll buy every one they release.
  3. Yup, you're right, my bad. And $100 for shipping 2 large toys doesn't seem that bad.
  4. Thanks for that! ...Aaaaand, nope. I paid $70 for the first one, but now they want $140 for "two for the price of a single product" which is supposedly now double the price. (edit, $70 was the deposit, it's actually $133) Still seemed like a good deal until I went to check out and the express shipping was $100 - despite it being only $35 for my original preorder - or standard shipping which they say takes 4mo. If they ever actually release the darn thing and have some extras on sale later, I'll consider it, but otherwise, they can keep their 💩!
  5. If this is true, they need to advertise that and commit because that would certainly at least triple their sales. Personally, I would preorder/buy 3 more right now if this was official if it meant I could have a light, heavy, and hopefully a scout version (pleeeeeease). As it is, I feel like I'll be lucky if they ever actually release the darn thing, so I'm not holding my breath.
  6. That's exactly why I was looking forward to this one and avoided buying HMR versions. They just didn't make sense to me, and there's scenes in the show where they indeed seem much bigger than valks. I was going to use 1:72 regult kits to match my other HMR, but once this was announced, I was excited to not have to do another model I don't have time for. And I haven't been collecting any of Kitz valks, so I don't have to find any... did Yamato or anyone ever even make 1:60 Regults?
  7. I can't find a meme or a proper gif to make one, but in the immortal words of Tuco Salamanca, "Talk... is talk. But owing me <toys>? That's bad."
  8. Looks like I've got some binge watching to do! Not all of these are new purchases, but it's nice to have everything together at last. Still looking forward to the legit releases coming out this year, but this is what I could get with english subs for now.
  9. I'm surprised it didn't come up in the Amazon listing for all the other DX WWM releases along with the YF-19 (only $217!) because they're all on the same listing. Maybe it will soon, so keep an eye out there too. I just pre-ordered the 171 there for $275 which is just shy of my maximum price for valks. I thought seriously about pre-ordering a second 19 to go with a DX 21, but I'm not paying $350 for a 21 when I have a perfectly good Yamato. It's funny though how prices change. Before Bandai first showed off the prototype 21, prices were insane for the Yamato. Afterwards, they came down to the $200 range for a bit. Now that the DX is getting an actual release and preorders, prices on the old Yamatos are back to being sky high again. No sense.
  10. Oh duh. You said Hayate not Hikaru. Doh, sorry, I was distracted by all the beautiful shots of VF-1 GBP above. I actually just purchased the movie with english subs from Amazon here if you wanna buy it.
  11. SDFM or DYRL? If the former, episode 9, "Miss Macross" @17:50 in this youtube video.
  12. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that it initially had a planned release of March if basic goals were met, but they stated that would extend if more funding was reached in order to add in features. Now that 4k and dub and all the other goodies are funded, it's going to take a much longer time to make/add them.
  13. Clearly, BBTS takes preorders and then tells Bandai how many they sold/need. Simple, confident and easy for the customer, and maxes profits. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANY STORE ONLY OFFER A LIMITED NUMBER OF POs ON AN UNLIMITED RELEASE?!!! This crap makes me not want to use Amiami anymore, but it sounds like ALL the Japanese stores do this. WHY? This makes zero sense.
  14. Refresh, refresh, refresh... BAM, got it.... nope. Refresh cart, add 1, no. Refresh cart, add 1, no.... 30mins of this instead of making overtime at work... I could afford the BBTS order if I stay working.
  15. Wow, Ami ami sucks. I clicked order the moment it went live, and it immediately said none in stock, pre-order closed. That's what I get for breaking tradition and trying to participate in a pre-order rush.
