My N.A. Sheryl begs to differ. =P

Amiami throttles the inventory numbers to promote "omg, it's the last piece" impulse buy. I wouldn't be surprised if bunch of units mysteriously appear within 48 hours. But if you live in SoCal and want instant gratification in the form of a VF-27, there is at least one unit at Frank and Sons'. Lastly, I am taking order for the tamashii web-exclusive VF-27 beta (fodder/grace) for 19900JPY + shipping fee. This offer is available to US buyers only ($50 deposit is required). Please PM me if interested.

I am out of beta right now. The only one I have left is a part of a complete series 2.

I have an on-display VF-25A FC. It's $9.00 shipped to US address if you are interested.

am so glad I didn't pre-order that.

Pic updated for 3rd series.

The normal color version is also a lucky draw prize, http://www.1kuji.com/ma2. Not sure about the red/black bunny and the teal/white bunny. Is that a new set? There is a mention of 2 secret prizes, but according to the website, it's two secret chibi chara figures.

The first movie "was" retelling of the first 1/2 of the series compressed for a movie. The second movie is supposed to be retelling of the second 1/2, but with closure to the triangle.

Similar images were released in the guide book. It was said in the official guide book "perfect triangle" they had improve the rednering quality of the MQ CG in the movie. So there is more shadows (like the cannons now cast shadows onto the hall of the ship) and details on the whole ship.

When is the next issue coming out? So I don't forget to pre-order it.

This actually looks not half as bad as I thought. At least the armors are drawing attention away from her "supa boobs".

I have absolutely ZERO interest in all the scantly clad Sheryl poster, files, writing boards, post cards, mouse pads, towels, body pillow, and what not. And I could care less about any of the fan service in the series, since the story would be the same without them. But Rise-Up is a figure I am getting simply because it's a nice sculpture that's a good representation of real-world nose art on war planes, which is a form of artwork I am interested in and have appreciation for. Yes, the cast-off parts are a bit tasteless. I bought my figures before realizing her clothing are cast-off parts, and nor do I have any intention of displaying the sculpture with the clothing off.

I reinspected the shipping box, nothing was tempered: original seal on packaging tape, original box (it had Japanese export stamps), no "inspected by customs" tape. Highly doubt it was customs, since the shipping box was perfect. The best option HLJ offered was to give me a refund if I sent back the whole thing. For an 1000 yen item, it's not worth the trouble of send it back and filing a refund with HLJ for the return shipping cost. But both me and my customer who's been waiting on the valk with the screwy packaging will probably never order from HLJ again.

Which provide attachment points for the VF-25 fast packs. There is nothing sexual in that.

Seriously, it's supposedly to be a NOSE ART. Go google "nose art" image and see what you come up with (make sure to turn off filter). The figure/artwork of Rise Up-Sheryl is suppose to depict how members of SMS would use her likeness on their war-machines. It's not depicting how she would act in the story line. Unless you guys are all just being sarcastic, then I will go kick myself.

I don't think the micro Klan Klang nudie episode is suitable for 13-y.o... Thought that was gratuitous lolicon.

LOL, I was going to do a "is it out yet?" post just because there hasn't been one on this page yet! I guess I will have to wait for the next page to roll over.

Yes, as of Jan 28th. Here is the link to the theaters showing the movie, http://www.macrossf.com/movie/popup.html

The TV Max and Milia 1J are not affected by this problem, right?

Thanks. I can't wait for mine to arrive in the mail. The site also have the Ranka version. I think I am going to hell after seeing those stars.

They are here, and the ones don't fit are up for sale now.

For 30000 you get 1 of each of the prize item. 3 grand prize figures, 3 chibi valks, 4 shotties, 6 sd girls, and 1 bowl/plate thingie. There are only two complete sets in each prize kit, and some extra plates and SD girls.

I will wait for them to show up at 1/2 price in the over-stock bin!
