zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 it looks like there is a release date and price, it is coming out in November and is around 14.060 yen around $127.26 US dollars, this is great news it is coming out soon. so far HLJ has been acurate with release dates so maybe we are in luck hobby link japan chris
EXO Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 That's a great price. I thought it was going to be a lot more than the 1:48 because it was much bulkier and doesn't have a lot of schemes like the VF-1. November is a great date also. Hopefully I can hold out long enough to wait for someone to give it to me as a gift.
Blaine23 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 No discussing prices! Just kidding around... that sounds great to me. Can't wait to get my greedy, stinky hands on it.
UN Spacy Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Finally. Time to preorder THIS and the Macross Legends of Live figures.
bandit29 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I won't say its a great price but its less than I was expecting. I was thinking this was going to be around 20,000 yen. Now the question for me is" Am I a big enough fan of this to buy it?" That I dunno.
Nightbat Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 hell, maybe this will pave the way for the 1/60 Non-transforming Monster
Mechamaniac Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Wow, interesting that HLJ has it, but Yamato's site doesn't. That's alot better price than I expected it to be. Like most, I figured it would be at least as much as a 1/48 J with Packs.
Anubis Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) Excellent price for this thing. At the price point I will very likely buy two (and I RARELY buy duplicates). That's actually lower than I expected it to be as well. Unfortunately, November release date means we'll see it next Spring. Edited August 10, 2004 by Anubis
zeo-mare Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 yea i to was expecting it to be around the price of the 1/48 with fastpack guess were getting lucky this time. i cannot wait. chris
do not disturb Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 No discussing prices! well thank god its reasonable, and now i got some time to catch up on other things before it comes out. i can't wait to get this sucker!
Vostok 7 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 YES!!!!!!!!!!! That's an EXCELLENT price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vostok 7
rocco_77 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Can't wait to get my greedy, stinky hands on it. Your hands are stinky?? Are you the "Angry Kid" ? Good price on the Monster.... I won't preorder, but I will have one.
Wabbit Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) Price is reasonable and November release date is also positive, gives me time to recuperate my balance. Now I hope that the price will drop a bit, shipping is always high for me. Edited August 10, 2004 by Wabbit
bigkid24 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Sweet. That price is really good. Heck maybe it'll even come down if the dollar gets stronger between now and November.
BoBe-Patt Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 man, I guess that's a good price. I just hope I can afford it by then. Gots to save up now!
aaajin Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 may i know where is HLJ located? is it based in Japan or HK? thanks, aaajin
Wabbit Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 may i know where is HLJ located? is it based in Japan or HK?thanks, aaajin Based in Japan.
mechatek Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Alright! And now the VB-6 waiting game begins. I guess we'll meet again in Nov/Dec, ay soze?
eugimon Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 sweet, decent price point and good timing... right in time for christmas.
Angel's Fury Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) Wow, interesting that HLJ has it, but Yamato's site doesn't. That's alot better price than I expected it to be. Like most, I figured it would be at least as much as a 1/48 J with Packs. Maybe HLJ got the price scoop first before Yammie's official announcement. Good price indeed!!! I'll be definitely be getting this!!! Edited August 10, 2004 by Angel's Fury
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Great, I'll preorder with Kevin whenever he begins taking preorders I think I'll buy at least two!!!!
TheLoneWolf Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 $127 is a lot cheaper than what I was expecting, I guess I'm just used to Yamato's price gouging It's a decent toy and I must applaud Yamato for making a non-VF1 toy, but from those pics, I'm going to pass. The battroid mode just doesn't do it for me. Also, I'm not looking to start collecting a new scale of toys. 1/48, 1/60, and 1/72 are enough for me.
redsilk Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Thought with its bulk sure to follow must have to be the wallet crushing price now can't wait to get my hands on one Yipeeeeeeeeeee !!!!
eyesonme78 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 oh dear my pocket is gonna get burn again....
Angel's Fury Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 oh dear my pocket is gonna get burn again.... Where's the fire extinghuisher! Hopefully, there won't be delays, resulting in a release date being pushed back.
Godzilla Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Oh I can't wait. Looks like I will have 3 or 4 of this baby. I wonder what else is coming out. Hopefully a VF-1A CF.
GobotFool Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Oh I can't wait. Looks like I will have 3 or 4 of this baby. I wonder what else is coming out. Hopefully a VF-1A CF. Godzilla, with the massive number of expensive valks you buy, I gotta ask, whatcha do for a livng

I thought you knew... =
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Um hello... I thought you knew... LMAO Guess it's the toy for buying multiples!!!
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Hate to burst your bubbles, but what if that is only a down payment on a pre order? I mean, what if you need to put down 50% just to stake your name to it? That would mean that it's more like $254.00. In either case, the design still doesn't look very appealing and I will most likely pass this one up.
Nightbat Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Downpayments? since when did HLJ start doing that?
