The official release date is the 29th, so a week from now. When that happens stores such as HLJ could well have excess canceled stock. Those stores don't price-jack, so I think that's your best bet for now.
-
So the VF-1J is just a week away. And the race will be on to see who uploads the first set of .STL missile sets.
-
'Anime Export' are an option, but not that much better than NY. Otherwise 'Big in Japan', but they tend to take a bit longer to ship and are more expensive, but much better service. MyKombini are another option, but not recommended based on recent comments on this forum.
-
Yeah, but it was a while ago. Very good service, but more expensive.
-
They wouldn't. Nippon-Yassan, MyKombini or Anime Export do proxy ordering for Bandai exclusives.

Yep, which gives some liberty to the design, and is why I think that one's much leaner design is a great (re-)interpretation. It looks like the head can turn a bit too, which it isn't supposed to, but again, it's their interpretation. How many times has a 'perfect transformation' SDF VF-1 been refined over the last 40ish years? And it's still not line-art accurate on account of the puffy hands alone. Takara is set to release their third Masterpiece interpretation of Optimus Prime, whose robot and truck mode looks accurate, but the transformation is hectic as parts of the cab move into the legs to achieve it. Beagle (arguably) produced the best Ride Armor 10 years ago, yet it was the least accurate in terms of proportions or transformation compared to CMs Corp or MegaHouse. They traded proportional accuracy for practicality and it worked well enough for Aramaki to adopt it for his later redesigns (assumed). The Bioroids don't even transform, but as Captain America implied, something has to give to for them to achieve a decent range of motion. And where there is a will, there is a way. These are still the best Bioroid kits I've seen in terms of proportion, even though they're not completely loyal to the line-art either. But I don't make toys, so what do I know... Right? I just buy them. -
But us beggars could learn to sculpt.
-
I'm not really sold on those proportions. I need to see a prototype first. Would be cool if the chest can open, but I doubt it does.
-
It's difficult enough finding a Southern Cross fans at all.
-
Thanks! First time I've seen it. Comparatively little change compared to the other Sentinel Ride Armors, which is fine with me. It even appears to be missing the perforated wheel guard . The cloth works against the slim figure imo though.
-
I've only seen concept artwork for Rook/Hoquet, which was shown alongside the Yellow prototype back in February.
-
Yeah, roughly 1/32 or 1/36 range. According to the Southern Cross RPG book, the Hover Tank battloids are 6.2 meters tall.
-
Apparently they are about 20cm tall.
-
Ok, thanks. I was wondering if it was for their Minmay figure. They could possibly change plastic types if it's a tolerance issue, otherwise, no idea.
-
What does this relate to? For anyone that missed out on the Rick Hunter pre-order, they have reopened it.
-
Wild stuff! I doubt we'll see all 5 or 6 bioroid variants, but I'd be happy to be wrong about that.
-
Ouch! I think the Bioroid Dropship is considered a finished project.
-
How close to the 30 Auroran orders did we get?
-
Yeah, Winter Wonderfest in about three months should have a better prototype of the Sentinel Legioss. I think there are angles where you can see the various resin pieces taped together. The transformation sequence is slightly different to the standard as well.
-
Amazon use pricing algorithms to search for other online retailers and beat their prices. Well, it's what I was told Amazon US and Au does. Seeing pre-ordered Transformer toys drop in price is common here.
-
Eta was delayed three months, Zeta and Iota were both delayed a month, so safe to assume that the Dark Legioss will also be delayed. I hope it is, otherwise the end of December will totally clean me out.
-
They do this thing where they send an order acknowledgement, then the confirmation after.
-
This happened to someone I know who had their account suspended for canceling too many orders. You could try logging out and back in again.
-
Yeah, thanks. I was gonna ask if anyone knew what was wrong with HLJ, but figured the answers would be too long.
-
So did it take them 25 mins to list it, or 25 mins for their search engine to start working..?
