Great news!

Mixed feelings about the Bartley and Blowsperior, but happy to see them coming. Legioss looks great, just wish it was 1/60 or 48. Hopefully the Tread has been thought out properly too.

Edit: What scale is the Legioss? I thoght it said 1/72 but it says 1/12, which can't be right...

I had waited and waited and finally got the eta for like $160 before shipping few months ago and now it’s sold out everywhere. I’m glad I got it and love love love how it looks. Too bad I don’t think the red or green will ever drop that low as I imagine the run will be much lower and faster to sell out. 

Where did you score the Eta from? The cheapest I saw was 25% off at CD Japan.

----------------------

Wonderfest today. Maybe some pics of the Evolution Toys Dark Legioss. Hopefully they do the Drone too.

Wouldn't it be easier to tell her the truth? lol

 

QUESTION: So what merchant is the cheapeast??

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.

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.

I've never purchased from Amiami before. Are the preorder quantities granted "add-to-cart" or "check-out" first? Meaning, will I be racing to enter my card credentials against those of you that already have them saved?

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.

So stupid question of the night.  I'm on the East Coast and that means I have to wait until 3 in the am to PO this thing?

Orders should start opening in about an hour.

My acct was suspended w/o warning for canceling some preorders. Got it reinstated, but a pain in the ass. From others I've heard from, same thing...no warning. You simply can't log in one day.

Wow. Thanks for the warnings then. 

Just now, gingaio said:

It's not about how much you spend. They're cracking down. But feel free to test them. 

As long as I get a warning first, I'll just play innocent.

they care now.... i didnt cancel anything and they still sent me a warning email that if a cancel too much they will ban my account.

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...

How is HJL safe compare to others?

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...

Has it been pre-listed on any sites yet? Like on Amiami saying orders opening soon..

Thats awesome!

What did he use as a base?

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.

Nothing from SDCC?

Not sure I if saw this posted here, so if not: Custom 1:12 Rey figure -

Well, it has been about 18 years since the Yamato 1/48 came out.

I'm down for two Sentinel sets. Thanks Capt!

I'm working on accessories for the 1/12 Sentinel, but a clear visor is not among them.

Cool, I'll add my name.

Clear visors would be cool too though. Just saying...

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?

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...

Yep, I'm hopefully there have been some minor tweaks to improve the experience. I shipped mine SAL which works out since i'm also heading on vacation to SDCC :).

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.

Got one from NY. Does anybody know how to cancel a preorder from them? I don't see any option to edit my orders, do you have to write a letter or something? 

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...

Fuke's Legioss should hit the stores in July right?

Hard to say. It's been delayed on a monthly basis since March.
