ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD01127 - Dix-Neuf Probably my next buy, he just looks too cool. Hows about the Gunbuster?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasis Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'd pay good money if Kaiyodo made a scaled GIGA DRILL BREAKER. They'd also have to include a separate stand. Would you guys buy it (if it retailed for $15)? I would certainly kick reason to the curb and buy that up!!! Have we ever heard more about the add-on pack with all the drills and wings? I seem to recall pictures from WF, but no info. As is, I'm planning on getting a few Gurren Lagann Revoltechs just so I can have a nice display with various poses (gotta have at least one pointing a finger to the heavens!).

miriya Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) LOL Yes, there are some of us fans that don't buy a dozen of everything But dont you want a Regult army? I have not bough multiples of anything (except for the purpose of kitbashing) but I just can't wait to have a whole flock of menacing regults to put in my macross display. Thinking of having just one regult makes me thing of the sad lonely thing with great concern Edited for grammeer.

eriku Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I understand army building but it's never appealed to me. I follow a fairly strict one-mold-only rule with my toy collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protostar8 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just a thought, why is the Yen suddenly leaping so high compared to the US dollar? I just went to pay for the Starscream and Rodimus Revoltech's and decided to hold off a few days b/c the yn was only 97 to the dollar. That's a horrible exchange rate.

Macross73 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I havent decided on how many regults to buy but 1 isnt enough maybe 4 or 6 of them will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Arms Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ok so they are probably a nicer all round sculpt over the Revys, but they ARE more expensive. How do the joints hold up? So far the Frauelin line is plauged with the arm pegs being too short, but figma? Yuki's shoulder joint's are the same as the ones used in the elbows. So no popping off like the fraulein's. The head doesn't have as much movement as the revy's because it doesn't have a ball joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) I havent decided on how many regults to buy but 1 isnt enough maybe 4 or 6 of them will do. I buy them in odd numbers personally. I'd say 3 for me, with room for 1 scout and 1 glaug. Remember Chara-Works with their 1/144 line is still a possiblity in making enemy mecha. I'd rather have an arm of that size. Cherish the thought! Edited March 19, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will prbably get a Figma figure one day, but something other than what they are offerring at the moment. Imagine them doing the Macross figures (Hik, Roy, Minmay, Max, Millia, Misa, Global etc etc) before Revoltech decides to. SOLD!

IXTL Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I guess they will be releasing an expansion set (like the EVA positron cannon) for Gurren Lagann since the wings and tiny drills that were on display with the figure at wonderfest winter are not included. They could also package those accessories with another figure like they did for Giant Robo and GR-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have these up for preorder yet?? Ooops.... from the article it said that the Milia version Revoltech valkyrie will only be available limited thru order via the magazine. It won't be sold via hobbylink or hobby search. I might be able to get them here in Hong Kong and they will be doing the regult version too...

David Hingtgen Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I need a Milia too. IMHO, only "weird" stuff like non-canon stealth and low-vis colors etc should be rare/limited/hard to get. Common, normal, desired-by-many schemes should never hard to acquire. (that goes for everything in the world, not just valks/revoltech) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Do the Japanese have a strange sense of Marketing???? Why force international customers to the secondary markets like Ebay and Yahoo? With the dollar being so weak internationally these additional steps to get Japanese toys really hurt more than my pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 someone mentioned that there were going to be no more Macross Revoltechs at all before. Maybe this is they're way of continuing the license without the legal issues... Also someone else in another forum said this was a way to combat bootlegging... I don't know how but... maye it makes sense somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasis Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Would anyone mind translating these? Is the wing/drills version of GL an exclusive or any such nonsense? An upgrade kit, maybe? Or just a whole new figure? Either way, all the TTGL stuff is so bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
