    Quick noobish question, but I'm assuming as a US based buyer I can't buy direct from Tamashii's website (in this case, the preorder for the VF-31S), but have to wait for a site like HLJ or Nippon Yasan to offer them for sale, correct?  

    Short answer: yes.

     

    Long answer: VF-31S is a regular retail release, and is expected to be listed on Japanese web stores for pre-order at Match 1st 4pm JST, along with other Bandai July releases.  Many past Macross releases that were popular would get the pre-order quota cleared out within a minute of being listed.  Similar thing happened with other popular release like Metal Build Gundams. 

    Some shop like NY may list it at a later time.

  2. The closest comparison should be the most recent Bandai release - the 1:72 models.  This one get a similar hinge below the leg air intakes but the leg proportions are much better.  The legs were really awkward on the 1:72.

  3. Shipping from 1st world countries are generally quite expensive, with Japan being an exception with more reasonable pricing and have many options to choose. Even before the Canadian dollar drop I normally don't order anything from USA due to high shipping cost.

  4. I am more worry about the shipping cost of the Monster. It don't have slimmer shuttle mode like the Konig Monster so the box is gona be much thicker.

  5. I'm upset that we don't have any better spy photo of the VF-4 and VF-2SS, and the slow release schedule means it will take forever to get there, if Bandai don't retire the line over one or two bad release first.

  6. Why choose 35 instead of 60? License aside, I think the reason is the Yamato v2 are already very good, Bandai cannot make a version that is good enough for most Macross fans (us) to re-buy them. Same for 48. Go big and they can have new features.

    But there have been many vapor wares from Bandai shows we may never see this or the SDF anyway.
