Wiz13688 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone here ordered the GX-64 from Amazon? It was suppose arrive on Feb 15th and Prime members are suppose to get it today. I just got an email from Amazon that the item have been delayed with no revise ship date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulvg Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I also ordered from Amazon. Haven't gotten that email yet, but I'm not a Prime member. It's just sitting there marked as "Not Yet Shipped", though. Edited February 21, 2014 by paulvg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Yikes! The extra long case I ordered wouldn't even give me shipping quote in my private warehouse. I emailed HLJ about it and they told me that it is an oversized item and has to ship in it's own box with NO other items. Cost estimate for shipping is 6800 yen for EMS or 6100 yen for SAL! Well, needless to say I just sent a return request for that case. Sucks too, as I really wanted it...oh well.

I'm surprised they won't ship anything else with them as it was such a waste of space... basically I paid EMS to ship a big box of air-filled plastic bags. Let me know if you find another retailer that might have these cases with more reasonable shipping. Gotta convince a local hobby shop to carry them.

Dobber Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, the one that you posted and that I also got was expensive to ship but could still have other things included so it wasn't too bad. But, the super long one, that could fit a 1/350 scale battleship (perfect for the 1/500 2199 Yamato and Domelus III) is where the problem is. So disappointed, I'll let you know if I find it elsewhere. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Here you go William: http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-K26. I MAY still get one as even after the $68 shipping guesstimate from HLJ, it will still be cheaper than anything else I have found. Looks like it should fit the Bandai 1/350 easily. This is the next best case I could find. It was available on amazon earlier today but has sold out. It did say more where on the way earlier. http://www.amazon.com/Displays2go-AF292X11BK-Acrylic-Display-Countertop/dp/B00CO8TGWO/ref=pd_ybh_4 Also here: http://www.displays2go.com/P-16162/Model-Ship-Cases-That-Include-An-Acrylic-Ring?o=1-26999 I will admit I am fond of the one from Amazon/displays to go and it would only be about $50 more since I am a prime member and should have free shipping.

wm cheng Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks... those acrylic cases would be much classier than the flexible one from HLJ - I think maybe something 1/350 might deserve one of those someday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiz13688 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Seems Amazon got more GX-64 as they updated my order to arriving on March 4th but they raised the price to $249.00 if you place an order now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Bah. Amazon hasn't updated my order yet.... Starblazers.com says vol.2 pre-order should be up. Soon I guess though it's supposed to be up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehPW Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I just watched a clip of Deslar's final battle with the Yamato... and a thought occured to me about Talan. Now maybe im presuming things based on my own experiances in the Navy (at least my own understandings about things at least, as best my rank will allow) but regardless of the fact that Deslar put the ship in harm's way by attacking the Yamato in 'warp space' for lack of better term, does Talan not have the authority to remove Deslar from causing the ship into hazard? (again, presumption) I mean, If Talan had testes, would he have risked Deslar's wraith in order to make a point, to his surpreme boss? or was his hesitation based on the fact the toon was spineless or was his inaction a cultural limitation? and when i mean Cultural, i mean both in terms of Gamalas/Nazi Germanic or Japanese cultures...

Drad Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I sincerely hope that Captain Okita won't be the only guy in the "Yamato Guys Collection." I'd love to be able to have most of the core characters on my shelf. I can't wait to see Kodai, Shima and Sanada. For the girls, Yurisha and Starsha. Sasha would be nice but since her only appearance in the show was after her death, I'm not sure whether her figure would be upright or horizontal. If it's the latter, that'd be kinda morbid.

GMK Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Just re watched the whole series - does anyone have the title of the track that's played near the end of episode 26 when the Yamato has returned to earth?

Is it on any of the sound track CDs? Track 30 in the Part 3 Soundtrack CD. So... who's going to buy the 1/500 Cosmo Hangar set? Not really sure about that since i used the hangar cavity to place a blue LED unit to light the fiber optic cable lighting the WMG! XD But the upcoming 1/12 scale AU-09 is a must have.

Dobber Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Whoa! Where can I get those!? That would make things SO much easier for me!! Let's see there is a zero elevator, and what looks like photo etch radars and a photo etch third hangar! Don't care about the falcon hangar though. More info please.

wm cheng Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wow, I love the photoetched and additional details - can't wait to see what you do with them! But at 1/500 scale, you'd think they should have included these gimmicks at such a large scale already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westfall Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I believe the Premium Shop exclusives are the Blue Pormelia and the photo etched detail parts, as they're in the Premium box.

Wiz13688 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 OK. The Hangar set are due in June at 3240 Yen. The Photo-etch does not have a date yet but price will be at 4880 Yen and looks to be Bandai Premium only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz13688 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm definitely getting the Hangar kit since I have not started my 1/500 yet and I can find other ways to put in batteries and LEDs. I may also order the photo-etch if it shows up about the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiz13688 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Finished my Bandai 1/72 Cosmo Falcon build. Had some problem with the large decals on the wings and tail. They did not conform well even with Mr. Hobby Mark Softer. Had to trace some of the panel lines with an X-acto knife.
