Keith Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I triex searching through the proxy site listings, but no one is currently offering it. Or is there an item request option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westfall Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 At PIJ, click on the tab that says "SHOP" and then just fill the boxes "Item URL", "Quantity" and "Price" and click "Order" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myk Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 good man. I can't wait for it mine to get here, I really want to see DAT ASS in person. That tanned cleavage is mouth-watering but I'm going to hold out for the longer haired version; assuming it will be available to us...

antibiotictab Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I sometimes wonder if Voyager Entertainment would make a contract with some American toy companies or not. If they don't do so, all the items will be Japan-made and gonna be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I just bought one of these My jealousy knows no bounds. Did you have it already on preorder? I've been trying to find somewhere to buy it but it's sold out everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 it was actually up at HLJ yesterday. anyway, it's just on order stop now, so just check back every now and then since they are now sending payment requests so potentially re-releasing some cancelled orders soon.

Keith Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks, rabbed me a Yamamoto right away. In other news, totally missed out on that BD box, but now I'm wondering if anyone would be intetested in having a custom Paul Champagne box made, like we did with Plus a few years ago. Looks like he does ghem on BD sizes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are which is why I ordered mine yesterday on CD Japan (just a tad cheaper than AmiAmi). I'm extremely pleased. I think a lot of people must have canceled their pre-order. Now I'm patiently waiting for my "your order has shipped" email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Marzan! You might have just persuaded me to get my first PVC figure (yeah not too hard with Yamamoto, one of my favorite characters in the reboot). Was there a prototype of Melda Dietz posted a few pages back? I think these two pilots would be a nice pair and then I'll have something cool to display alongside the blus. Edit: Oops, I'm too late for the cdjapan order, so I paid up at amiami. I also corrected my misspelling of Melda's full name.

anime52k8 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Got mine in this morning! (postman came by surprisingly early today). Overall she's a very nice figure. Paintwork and sculpt are solid, detail is very nice and she's a decent size for 1/8th scale. My main complaints are that 1) in person, her sculpt makes it look like she's leaning over a little bit from certain angles, 2)her face doesn't have much expression to it and 3) her base is pretty meh. That said, the details in here suit, helmet and jacket are lovely. Also her ass is even nicer in person.

mechaninac Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 ....Was there a prototype of Merda Ditz posted a few pages back? Wait, what? Is that name for real? Merda, as in Scat? And Ditz, as in Scatterbrained? Oh, Japan, sometimes it's hard not to engage in ridicule with your choices of character naming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Oh, also, bonus points to Megahouse for making Yamamoto's Ahoge a separate piece that pegs into the top of her head and including both ridged and soft-flexable plastic options. Fragile Ahoges = single most annoying flaw possible with a figure IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Japan, sometimes it's hard not to engage in ridicule with your choices of character naming... No, not at all. I should have looked up her name in the Space Battleship Yamato Wiki. The proper spelling is Melda Dietz. And now I feel like a moron for copying and pasting from some other random site. Apologies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 No apologies necessary. Melda Dietz... much, much better. It "sounds" German. Although, with the somewhat ambiguous, and kind of interchangeable, nature of "R" and "L" in Japanese, the original spelling you had for her first name could also be deemed correct, but oh so wrong...

technoblue Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 ^Oh yes, very, very wrong (luckily in an amusing, embarassing way). And now that you mention it, a German surname makes a lot of sense given the context of the anime and the rebooted plot. Still, having both of the hot-shot pilots would be cool.

westfall Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 No, not at all. I should have looked up her name in the Space Battleship Yamato Wiki. The proper spelling is Melda Dietz. And now I feel like a moron for copying and pasting from some other random site. Apologies... Actually, that's how they spelled her name at the official site's character page URL... http://yamato2199.net/character_merda.html i was laughing when i saw it. Of course i went with the more literal Meruda and later Melda. Being portuguese that was particularly amusing. XDDD When i first saw it i was like "No! That can't... Nooooo!" XDDD Just for clarification, "Merda" is not scat in portuguese, it's actually Sh*t. So, yeah, unfortunate doesn't begin to describe it.

Keith Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Not finding the relevence of any of this, as I'm sure many words in portuguese sound like odd words in other languages as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I'm Brazilian, but I just wanted to use a more polite word (animal excrement instead of human). I, too, almost spit out my drink laughing when I first read that name... if you take the two words, as technoblue had them in his post, even if in two languages, together, they pretty much mean that her name would be something like $*!t for Brains. Don't the Japanese run the words they intend to use for character naming through a translation program, even an online one, before they go with them?

Here's a couple words that illustrate that point: Faca = knife Foca = seal In English, they both sound a bit like the "F" word when spoken. But it works the other way around too: Payday literally sounds like peidei = I farted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 picked this up at my local kinokuniya quite handy if one doesn't regularly buy Dengeki Hobby magazine. this book collects yamato 2199 articles from various issues, and presumably some new content, though i suspect not much. the main draw of course are the 5 dioramas: Cosmo Falcon launch bay, Gamilas asteroid base, Gamilas carrier at hangar loading Meranka(s), Meranka strafing civilians, Gamilas tanks scouting a forest. they are simply inspiring, if not downright jaw dropping.

Guess the main draw would be the 11 blueprint collection that comes with the book. Can you list which ships are in those blueprints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 - yamato (naturally) - muramase and yukikaze in one page - cosmo zero - cosmo falcon - gaiderol - destoria - kelkapia - polmeria they're just orthographic views though, no interior or zoom detail. for that you need the earth book. btw, yamamoto just arrived, and she's lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got mine in the post too and for some reason didn't have to pay custom charges this time which made it twice as sweet. I'm thinking of getting a Yuki now for balance sake.
