    Yeah, as much as I like some of these PVC figures, I'm not paying 100k yen for them. I have never once seen the black kimono Sheryl for sale anywhere. Picked up the purple one way back for about 16k yen, which makes it one of the most expensive figures I've ever purchased. Definitely one of the best Sheryl figures around. Which might not be saying all that much, given so many sub-par Sheryl figures, IMO.
  2. Still waiting for Otacute to go up...
  3. Grats guys. I was watching the NY counter drop while you all made a mad dash for checkout. Dropped from 24 to 12 in like 10 seconds.
  4. I'm sure that being pieces of crap had nothing to do with the previous version sitting on shelves.
  5. Don't fret if you didn't get one. NY will have more later on, and Otacute hasn't started their preorders yet. I get the feeling it'll be late tonight...
  6. US scalpers starting up now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RENEWAL-Macross-F-DX-Chogokin-VF-27-Lucifer-Valkyrie-Brera-Sterne-Super-Part-Set-/321119214387?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac4325b33
  7. That wouldn't be the first time. I remember the price for the 25G reached as high as ~$240 prior to the release date, but then dropped to around $200 immediately after.
  8. Ah, so they got wise and knew it'd still sell out in moments even at full retail price. Even HLJ only offered 5%, instead of their usual 10-15% discount. Still, its not above MSRP so I'm not complaining.
  9. TV Kakizaki is still only ~$75 at HKC and Angolz. I haven't bought one because shipping is just so much from HK because they don't offer (or don't have) any SAL equivalent. $30 shipping for a Kakizaki? No thanks. Yes, I really am that stingy.
  10. Did AE offer any discount, or did they charge full MSRP?

    Please be Cathy uniform...
  12. Scalping is scalping. Ethnicity is irrelevant.
  13. The last photo on the right shows the correct, updated photo.
  14. Got my order in. No more late night preorder shenanigans for me, I hope.
  15. Of course, won't know for sure till I get the email confirmation and have the order added to my "order processing list"... I've never had HLJ cancel an order on me once I'd gotten the second email confirmation and had it in my account listing...
  16. Got one at HLJ and preorder still open as I type this.
  17. Whoa so NY opened preorders for the VF-27 early? Goddammit!
  18. Goddammit Hobby Search crapped out while I was checking out. We are terriby sorry that your order has failed to be placed since a stockout has occurred while your order was being placed. Please note that your whole order this time is counted as invalid. We are sorry for the trouble.
  19. It's like the beginning of DYRL right before the missiles hit...
  20. Only a few minutes to go. Wish I had instantaneous fold wave communication with the Amiami server...
  21. Oh I fixed it. It broke where the canopy is glued to the column. I just glued it back. Works fine, but the column is still incredibly hard to pull up. Some pics I took recently. Haven't done anything except touch up some paint scratches and add a little detail to the pilot and instrument panel. With that done, I plan on never opening the canopy again. The lighting makes it look way greener than it really is.
  22. Anyone else have a ridiculously tight canopy? Specifically, the part in the back that's supposed to rise up when you open the canopy? I just snapped the canopy off mine trying to open the damn thing.
  23. Have a birthday gathering to attend tonight, so I'll be quite inebriated for the preorder start. This'll be fun.
  24. Nothing a few drops of super glue can't fix. I personally prefer the earlier releases with the tinted canopies.
  25. Mandarake. I saw it and passed because I don't need another set. Lucky for him.
