So, official Houquet's release day - 21.04.

i've been waiting for so long and now i don't know how to buy it.

 

So excited. I won't be able to wait for other stuff to come in and will have to send this immediately.

Did you do the early bird special?

Out of curiosity. How did you come up with the price? I'm not sure how to break out the prices of individual figures based on the pledges package prices. Thanks.

I used the Add-on price listed.

Not sure I can justify $60 for a 6 inch none-transformable SDF-1 statue. I still have a ton of RPG Tactics figures that are still in boxes at my office untouched.

As long as that Klingon battle music is there when the K'Tingas go after V'ger, I'm good.

Whether it's HMR or Arcadia, all I want is a complete damn set in a viable scale.

And at this point, I still hope for the HMR (not due to price so much as for the fact that a 1/60 Monster is hard to find space for lol).

Not doubting them yet- they have been delivering. But I didn't make space for Houquet until the preorder as well.

Plus a tread really changes how I currently have them (with a lot of legioss and two treads packed in a small space, with the blue Toynami "alpha" legioss/tread combined. All my Sentinel legioss are in armo soldier mode, so that alone will get me to rethink things.

Is there reason to believe it may be vapourware?

IN this hobby, I don't count on something until a PO comes out. Sentinel has surprised me by actually giving us Houquet, but I'm not going to start moving things around in anticipation of a tread until I see a PO.

I wonder how much "different" will the product be from the test shots..

I would expect some color differences at a minimum (like the missile covers being a different color rather than the same as the main body).

I will consider it, but like others here I have the Yamato. What I hope *doesn't* happen is Arcadia gets theirs out first, nobody buys it, and Bandai says "Well, let's not bother with our HMR version."

I have things organized awaiting Houquet. I have to do some reorganizing if they really do a tread.

Sometimes I also check their ebay store, since the same item can be listed with "free shipping" (i.e., shipping already in the price). Been able to get a few deals that way.

It's an important lesson for all of us to be more careful with our passwords and not to be so quick to use Paypal friends and family to pay for items. We all have lapses and we mess up, but as long as we learn from it and don't make the same mistakes again, this doesn't have to happen another time. Hopefully, those folks who got rooked can get their money back.

Don't be so hard on yourself; just make sure your pw is 1,23954843 characters and with special characters, numbers and other stuff, and you should be okay!

 

 

The changing passwords thing is key, since I had the same password since I joined in 2008. Which was....um, awhile ago.

So, the Hi-Metal R Soltic H8 is due out in April to be followed by the Xabungle in October. 2022 isn't looking good for an HMR Macross release.

If I didn't already have the earlier Roundfacer release, I'd have to grab that just for the little tank guys.

I can't believe a second person got nailed, but I appreciate Shawn jumping in to help out quickly.

As the original person nailed by this, I appreciate all @Shawn's actions to protect us. Pretty messed up and I still feel awful about the people who were duped from my account.

See, @sqidd, the camo didn't work at all. I could totally see her!

Guess, I’m the only one getting annoyed with the lavender colored visor on Houquet? 

No, it bothered me too. Also, I love LEK's detail work but I think it works better on white-based valks than on colored mechs. Especially in armo-fighter mode, it looks more to me like a camo pattern (like the ridiculous girl camo outfits in pink).,

Well, there goes my wallet.

Glad it's still helpful guys. Database issue is resolved!

Waaaay more than "helpful". 

Bandai, put the fool thing up so I don't have to get excited every time this thread pops up!

I found a hmr Regult (new, sealed) locally for about 125 USD. Grab it or wait for a reissue, if so how likely would it be?

That's a decent price- I'd grab it. I would not expect a reissue.

I just wet myself a little.

Did you get a 10 day arrival notice from them? I was going to order one from Japan but their price might be cheaper than importing. 

Yeah, I got the BBTS "This is almost here so be ready" notice on the Iota. Their price is usually around the same or slightly higher, but with $4 shipping, so it often ends up slightly cheaper. OTOH, you have to deal with waiting while you see everyone else get it, since it is shipped to them first by surface ship (and shipping has been totally screwed, so it's added a few months on to the normal 1-2month wait for BBTS).

I decided I could be patient for the Iota, but I can't be patient for this one.

Completed with HLJ. I could wait for my Iota legioss (which looks like it is *finally* making it to BBTS) but I'll want this as soon as it rolls out.

I'm glad that Fuke model isn't as pink as many hoped. Still pinkish, but not as terrible as it could have been.
