LOL!

No, not yet. I'm currently in the process of assembling my newly arrived set of moducases to house the rest of my collection. Magnets worked great on Yamato's releases... when they didn't screw up the assembly. Didn't a few people get copies where the magnets were installed incorrectly and it repelled their fast packs instead?

Taking cues from Bandai's DX
-
So who preordered the PG unleashed Nu? Got one at HLJ but who knows when I will have time to put it together.
-
Nice. Where did you get it from? -
Interesting. I guess I'll have to break out the armor parts to check.

The whites on some on a number of my Bandai valks that I've had for a long time have either faded or flat out yellowed. When the white fades, it's only really only noticeable next to the painted parts and/or parts that used a slightly different plastic (or placed next to a brand new revival) but it's there. Yamato valks I've had even longer have not really had issues with yellowing at all. Bandai seems to use a cheaper plastic, at least on these older toys. Only time will tell if they improved it on the revivals. Check another box on the "Bandai cuts corners" list.

Really wish Arcadia would do a new ghost. -
Do you use a camera or your phone to take these pics?

It's punishment for not liking Gundam enough.

Received my copy. Just on a cursory glance it looks like instead of a single slot on the leg (near the foot) for the attachments, there are now two slots above and below the center line. Probably why the armor parts will no longer fit.
-
The weight of the wing attachments cause the entire wing assembly to sag, which causes the stabilizers to drag along the ground. Found the thread with the fix:
-
I'm interested in knowing if they fixed the wing sagging when the parts are attached.
-
Nice! Just recently picked up the 19 add on parts but I need a YF-21.
-
The decal sheet for the VF-19 model kit has a lot of large, obnoxious FIRE BOMBER decals. I'm glad Bandai showed some restraint for the DX.
-
Paypal, HLJ, Bandai, etc. use a crappier exchange rate and pocket the difference if you pay in another currency. Like the above post said: always pay in yen. If you buy a lot of stuff from Japan, it's best to use a CC that has zero foreign transaction fees.

Just bought the last copy at HLJ with a coupon. I have the original 0A release but I wanted an updated copy that won't scratch the canopy during transformation and though the leg hasn't fallen off yet on my original, I'd prefer to have one where I don't have to worry about it all. I'm sure there will be additional restocks (it's already been in discontinued status and restocked at least once since release). UPDATE: And within minutes of this post, HLJ updated the 0A from "discontinued" to "restock in 3-5 days."

Reissues at a large markup for toys that the small & diehard Macross fanbase would have already purchased years ago. Also, Delta was just a terrible show. Frontier was a much better show, but its toy line is well over a decade old now and really needs to be rebuilt from scratch. And of course we can't get any OG Macross stuff directly thanks to a certain money laundering operation posing as a, uh, production studio? I'm not even sure what they are at this point.
-
It's a reissue and not only is it limit 1 per person, but when you buy it they take your picture at the store and use facial recognition software to make sure you're not leaving and repeatedly coming back to buy more copies. So it's not really something you can scalp all that easily without an army of scalpers.

That is so awesome. Sadly, we live in the age of short term gains and private equity where once great companies get hollowed out and stripped of everything so a few rich a-holes can get richer. Hmmm that sure sounds familiar... oh well, that's a discussion for a different forum.

Love the low vis!

Picked one of these up from the TN store. They had plenty in stock. #nomarkup

Completely forgot about this preorder. Still available at HLJ so I picked one up. This is the way preordering should be.
-
I'll get a copy, but while it looks a different, I don't see anything that makes it clearly better than Yamato's version. Let's see if Bandai actually gives us white landing gear like on the HMR. I'm willing to put money on them being unpainted diecast. Knowing Bandai we'll probably get just the standing Basara figure and no sitting figure for the cockpit.
-
There will probably be plenty on Mandarake after release.
