  1. Japan Summer Wonderfest starts tomorrow! Will Arcadia - * show a SV-51 ver 2 * show a YF-21 ver 2 * show a 1/48 VF-1J ver 2 * have an event exclusive fire sale and close shop
  2. https://hlj.com/product/BANS55138/Act
  3. Until Amiami's server crashes...
  4. For some of us - NO! Nippon Yassan is usually cheapest, initially. Their customer service is usually s**t tho. So if you have a problem, you will be fighting them. Similar situation with Anime Export.
  5. Do CD Japan still often list early? I don't use them, but it might be worth preparing an account. Payment is upfront and not always discounted.
  6. Pre-enter all your details or you will be "cart-jacked" for sure. Amiami preorders have literally only last for a few seconds in the past.
  7. Orders should start opening in about an hour.
  8. Wow. Thanks for the warnings then.
  9. As long as I get a warning first, I'll just play innocent.
  10. Wow. I cancel and reorder a few times a month and they've left me alone... I do usually spend about $1000 a month there tho...
  11. HLJ and Hobby Search have the best customer service in case something goes wrong. HLJ don't usually care if you cancel. So if you find cheaper later...
  12. Has it been pre-listed on any sites yet? Like on Amiami saying orders opening soon..
  13. Not sure, I assume it's an original putty sculpt, except maybe the face. It seems he is also working on a Mint (Annie) figure to go with it.
  14. Nothing from SDCC? Not sure I if saw this posted here, so if not: Custom 1:12 Rey figure -
  15. Well, it has been about 18 years since the Yamato 1/48 came out.
  16. Cool, I'll add my name. Clear visors would be cool too though. Just saying...
  17. So HLJ just charged me for the ET Zeta Legioss. Their order page says its due for an August release, so maybe a second batch... Hey Captain America, were you looking a doing smooth clear recasts of the Sentinel visors?
  18. They've already teased Yellow's Blowsperior on Rey's box, and the line is doing well enough for a second release of both MOSPEADAs, so I think it's just a question of time. And Winter Wonderfest seems to be the bigger event. Hopefully it's enough encouragement for Freeing and Figma to move ahead with their teases too...
  19. Sweet. Any chance of seeing Sentinel there? Two more weeks until Summer Wonderfest in Japan. They might have something to show, but I'm not counting on it.

    Hi-Metal R

    Yeah, sorta. Use the 'Live Chat' box at the bottom right of the screen to talk to a rep and request cancellation. From what I've read there is less chance of them blacklisting you if you use chat instead of emailing them...
  21. Hard to say. It's been delayed on a monthly basis since March.
  22. Yeah, namely Jim, Mint and Aisha. I'm not that interested in unarmored, normal clothes versions of you tho...

    Bandai DX VF-31

    As opposed to just the head? Or a different color...
  24. I dabble in 3D printing, but find it difficult to dedicate the time. I was looking at the Scout/Eigah, but decided to tackle a Shocktrooper/Graub first... That's a raw (removed raft and supports) two part 3D FDM print (40 micron layer Z-height) using a 0.2 nozzle (instead of default 0.4) with PLA filament. I didn't smooth the outer edge enough in 3D, thus the faceting. I think the Z layers and rough edges will mostly clean up with minimal sanding, possibly the faceting too - either way it's still very much a WIP. I've modelled the lens too, but would need to use Shapeways to clear print it, or FDM print and recast in clear resin (difficult as it's really thin and curved).
