Thanks @enphily! That site looks like a weird collection toys, but the really appealing ones are expensive-for example that Snake Eyes has a DX Chogokin-level price @_@

I guess I'll have to be content with drooling over that synthetic human for now...

BBTS have synthetic humans on deck.  Not the test type but not much difference.

They were definitely sold at retail inside actual Gamestop stores, for shits and giggles I called three around me before my set shipped just in case I got screwed, I tracked down Leo, Raph, and Donnie, no Mikey's anywhere. They actually released early in stores, before most online orders shipped.

Yeah they're sold out on the site, you're only real option is to start calling actual Gamestop stores in your area and seeing if they have any stock, the Ebay prices are already absurd, $60 per turtle, $200 for a whole individual set.

Geez, I lucked out.  I literally ordered yesterday, must have gotten one of the last packs.  No retail Gamestops in my area had them.  I couldn't believe they were still in stock online and just got the shipping notice today. It be like that sometime I guess.  Honestly I'm pretty sure they will re-release.

I placed a valk preorder with play-asia before and they were not able to fullfill it.   So I think you guys should treat it as a back up.

That's what I've been reading all over.  I'm not getting my hopes up.  If they do ship it though awesome.

Ok. Understood. I'll let you guys 'enable' me to get it. I'll check my local Gamestop if they still have it. But I'm not going to get it as far as the online prices going for those nowadays. Just sayin'.  

 

The pack is available on gamestop's website.  I don't think any retail stores have em.  I ordered a set yesterday.

This shipping price is really high though.  I think they quoted me at $58.90

It doesn’t hurt to try. 

You know, I think you're right.  They said they won't charge the CC until it ships.  Nothing to lose I guess.

I’ve ordered other stuff from here and never had an issue. Never valks though.

I had placed a pre-order for Chuck and they charged my PayPal immediately.  They informed me that when paying with pay pal they take payment upfront.  I was able to get a refund but I'm debating whether to throw a cc on there as I've heard PA likes to over sell POs.  

Not sure how long I have before they cancel the order but seeing they still have it open on the site I'm inclined to let it cancel.  I have a feeling they aren't going to be able to fill all the orders when everyone else had closed POs.

Came in the other day.  Got 2 Laurels on the way.  If you're on the fence about Acid Rain World, this transforms to a buggy, many removable pieces, highly articulated figured.  Very impressed

Wait. You don't like the Chrome version? 

I remember the days. I just started with Hikaru's VF-1S and VF-1A from Mandarake. And I hate myself now from getting other stuff that aren't Macross related. But I'm lovin' the feeling. So how can you blame me? Hahaha!

As for your wallet... I'll just leave this one here for you as an introduction for joining this forum full of Macross enablers. 

From us here, welcome to MacrossWorld!

 

That's awesome and totally apropos.

Damn that Owl kit looks nasty.  Next level.

I know what you mean!  @jenius's videos were what got me to start collecting Macross toys too.  Now my place is over-crowded with Yamato, Arcadia, and Bandai boxes. *sigh*

Is this what having a crack dealer is like?

Yea man, I got an Arcadia VF-1S with the Super pack from Manda, and the new Eliteseeker pre-ordered from AmiAmi.  I won't get into the other items I purchased that aren't Macross related.  Let's just say my wallet will be light for several months...

Can't wait for this here.  Really looking forward to this as it'll be my first Piece.  Great community you guys have here.  Watching @jenius videos put me over the edge.
