    Ah! A misunderstanding of the terminology on my part. Perhaps you are correct then and more stock will suddenly "appear" as it did for the Prime First Edition figures. I'll echo the wish for more Decepticons other than Soundwave/blaster and his minions. Galvatron would have been another nice surprise with Ultra Magnus. Oh well.

    I paid for this pre-order early in order to budget things out, so I am getting both. I think soemone else was saying in one of these threads that it would be a neat then and now display for the Macross timeline. Heh. That's good enough for me. This will also be my first Bandai Valk, so why not?

    In the midst of all the Masterpiece renewals overseas, the folks at Transformer World have noted that the US is getting a renewal release of Prime Deluxe figures. I wonder if this could lead to our own Masterpiece renewal over the holidays? What Masterpiece figures might me good contenders for Hasbro US? Optimus? Starscream? Grimlock? Something else? I would love to see Grimlock or Starscream in the new MP packaging at TRU.

    So...Haswell? That was an interesting choice of CPU. In my own desktop system, I use Ivy Bridge. The other components seem good for gaming (and the small chasis is cool), but I would also try to find a way to fit an idividual SSD boot drive and notebook-sized HDD drive for data. I'm just not sure of those hybrid drives. I wonder if the Steam Machine will eventually support a two drive configuration?

    And so I am! I'll keep daisuki.net bookmarked from now on. Thanks!

    Gurren Lagann is probably in my top ten or so! Thanks, Marzan, I'll check that out. Has anyone been keeping up with Monogatari?

    All right! I placed my pre-order with amiami. Just one for me. That would be a sweet move.

    My only critique of TFSource is of the posted release date estimates. The accuracy can be way off depending on the pre-order. Otherwise, I do like the free shipping bonus and the extra care that goes into packaging. I also like how it is easy to browse the third-party figures on the site.

    Macross figures

    technoblue replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    I was just thinking of three: Sheryl/Basara, Ranka/Minmay, and Mylene. Places like amiami, hobbysearch, and hlj were out of stock when I looked earlier in the week. Amazon US wants $24 for each and shipping is free, but I don't mind saving a few dollars if I can.

    Macross figures

    technoblue replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    Thank you! Amazon still has stock and an okay price, so I added Ranka as Minmay to the order too.

    Macross figures

    technoblue replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    How is the quality of the Banpresto cross over/cosplay figures? Since I'm starting down the PVC road in the Yamato thread, I thought it would be nice to pick up the Sheryl cosplaying Basara figure, as well as Mylene (of course) and have a Macross display too. Also, about how tall are they?

    So...where is the take my money button?

    For sure. I agree with Ghost Train too that some of his characters were so stereotypical to seem prejudicial. I remember thinking that Debt of Honor was cringeworthy when I read it. Of course, in interviews that I read Clancy was not apologetic--an author of a different era.

    Very sad news. My library has a shelf dedicated to his work. All the books that I read were engrossing, but I've been into other genres in recent years. Off the top of my head, I can remember these: Red Storm Rising The Hunt for Red October Without Remorse Clear and Present Danger The Sum of All Fears Debt of Honor Rainbow Six The Bear and the Dragon

    ^Oh yes, very, very wrong (luckily in an amusing, embarassing way). And now that you mention it, a German surname makes a lot of sense given the context of the anime and the rebooted plot. Still, having both of the hot-shot pilots would be cool.
  16. technoblue
    Nope. I am sitting tight and waiting for the import shops to set up pre-orders this time. I plan to do the same with Jackie. Bee is a wait and see purchase. I'm really curious about how Takara will make the G1 mini into a Masterpiece.
  17. technoblue
    No, not at all. I should have looked up her name in the Space Battleship Yamato Wiki. The proper spelling is Melda Dietz. And now I feel like a moron for copying and pasting from some other random site. Apologies...

    skullmilitia: Thanks for explaining the differences between Takara and Hasbro Asia. This version of MP-11 may not be for me. I appreciate your other advice in this thread too. Saving money is always a good thing. mikeszekely: Magnus! August 2014 is a long wait. I'm looking forward to more news (and more pre-order opportunities).

    I agree that season 1 of SAO was pretty epic. I'll be interested in your thoughts on season 2... And that's all I'll say for now. (spoilers)

    That's a good point, I don't want to be broke after April when the YF-19 is released. I see myself having to become a lot more picky with these second-chance Masterpiece releases. As excited as I am about them, I think it is smart to wait and see if the price is right or if Hasbro will bother to do another domestic Masterpiece release in the States
  21. technoblue
    Cool! It's the full coronation package, then? I don't mind these renewals that give us everything. I hope the usual import stores pick it up too.
  22. technoblue
    Oh well, I guess puberty is the devil. I'm surprised that everyone is low key about a series renewal, though. I thought the anime was doing well enough to return in April. Very interesting...
  23. technoblue
    Fantastic! Thank you.
  24. technoblue
    ^Indeed.
  25. technoblue
    ^Well said. Armin is the voice of reason.
