  1. That's not too shabby. Since BBTS is carrying it maybe an international deal was worked out? I wonder how much cheaper it will be at import sites.
  2. Going off Sentinel's current prices. I'm going to estimate this guy anywhere between 18,000 - 30,000 yen.
  3. Freeing posted a transformation video a few days ago and man this guy looks fiddly. Even if they tighten up the joints, this guy is thin and spindly in some places that makes me uncomfortable. https://youtu.be/_g3e2ifCVNY
  4. My gods, what world do I live in right now where's 3 perfect transforming garland toys up for preorder? Amiami's price at 23750 yen doesn't seem too crazy for an 8 inch tall transforming robot. Good to see there's some diecast in it because there's a lot of thinness going on in this design. I'm tempted to preorder, but I never handled one of Freeing's transforming figures outside of the figmas they sculpted. I never handled their getter robos because they look kind of awful and fragile. Ironically, I haven't seen any reports of anyone breaking their transforming getter robos. Will see, if reviews are good I'll end up breaking down and pick this up.
  5. That is an odd choice to upscale the body to 1/60, but leave the backpack and wings somewhere between 1/100 and 1/60. The Kshatriya I refer to is this one. The Steel legend one https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2016/11/steel-legend-1100-nz-666-kshatriya.html
  6. I have to agree the wings and backpack look too small for the body. Is the V fins supposed to be asymmetrical or is one side just warped? An interesting KO for $210, but I'm not into Seed Destiny enough to make a purchase. Speaking of 3rd party gundams whatever happened to that 1/100 kshatriya?
  7. Ordered 1 no problem! Easy ordering. Imagine if this was the normal release on amiami......yikes. Still $273 upfront has hurt my wallet. Time to sell some stuff off!
  8. Sounds good to me. If we can bypass the pay upfront import shops or proxy services, I'm game, bbts or amazon.
  9. I'm glad Big West is starting to make a push back and not just going for Macross Delta, but also going for the Macross trademark in Europe is a huge move.
  10. Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite featuring Metal Build - The greatest Bandai rap album ever made.
  11. I think availability is more evil only because of how fast some of these preorders sell out. Getting metal builds or gffmc isn't too bad on the secondary market (except strike freedom) , but it is great when you can get the retailer discount on preorder. Premium pricing sucks, but at least you can sit back with ease to get the web exclusive. Knowing NY they'll probably have this guy up, although you will have to pay upfront.
  12. Reading this thread and the older posts about what HG actually has the rights to really puts things into perspective. If only they never trade marked Macross or UN Spacy in the US we might have blu ray copies with English subs from II onwards to delta. Thank you for the information guys. I always wanted some clarification on HG, tatsunoko and Big West.
  13. Alright so GFFMC Wing Zero is going up for order in Japan this Friday! But....it's a web exclusive and it's 27,000 yen. The good news is that we don't have to make a mad dash to the preorder sites?
  14. Wow, 61,000 yen whew I'll keep my Yamato one. But I expect many pictures from you diehards.
  15. SuperHobo

    Macross figures

    Woooo S.H. Figuarts of Sheryl Nome slated to be released in January. Now, she does look amazing, but I want her in the blue rather than the pearl white.
  16. Usually when Goodsmile posts one of the art cards on the wall of future releases a physical prototype reveal can take quite a while and I would probably expect to finally see something during winter wonderfest of next year.
  17. Agreed. I love those crazy exaggerated proportions and it can transform is icing on the cake.
  18. Arcadia: Release the Garlands!!! Enemy mecha too! There's some nice diecast content on those legs.
  19. Love all of the pistons! And it's cool they painted the control console in vehicle mode.
  20. Kind of want one because I never thought anyone would make a garland from part III. There's something about the super exaggerated proportions in robot mode that I love.
  21. Sentinel's ride armor looks amazballs. Hopefully this time the cloth will be sturdy. EVO's legioss is getting better looking with the additional paint over the last prototype, but they better work out those gaps by September if I'm going to throw money their way.
  22. Thank you HLJ, saving me again on preorder night. Cheapest option so far too. Woot!
  23. Ummmm... what the? That seems rather unnecessary. I just want what I saw in the EW OVA/movie. Adding extra funnels as a bonus is just going to drive up the cost. And is that the TV version shield? I actually hope all of those excessive parts will be a premium exclusive.
  24. Release a special weathered edition with additional tampo prints and maybe I would buy another one. Maybe....
