taksraven Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The latest trailer. Thanks a million for that, it's great. Watched it without sound the first time and the bit at the end was WTF???? Watched it with sound and heard the distinctive music cue, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Looks like a confirmation of a 2nd series in my eyes. At least, they'll release this movie and test the waters and decide on going through with a 2nd series or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 What's the sound effect at the VERY end of the trailer? It sounds very Comet Empire-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaman Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I got all tingly listening to that! December 6th can't come soon enough (and however long it takes to get to the US after that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeleader1 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 so guys I picked up the Gamera legacy box sets thursday and I got to the last film Gamera: Super Monster, where I thought I was having an acid trip. About half way through there is a dream sequence where Gamera meets the Yamato and later one where he meets the Galaxy Express 999. Um WTF? How and why did this happen?

Dynaman Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 You got your Gamera in my Yamato 2199! Well, it is Gamera, "WTF" pretty much sums up pretty much sums up the whole thing, at least the originals since I hear that the more recent remakes were more serious. If you want some real fun find the MST3K riffs on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 GREAT price...y'all on the fence should pick this up. Kinda silly how much they charged for it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm being too indecisive on this. Essentially, it's a brick to me. Yet, it's also most likely a nice display stuff. arrrrgggghhhh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I can't frickin believe it. It's like half off. When did i buy this? Jan or Feb? Should Have held out. I thought this was going to be hard to get later on if i didn't get it right away. Edited May 27, 2014 by Sandman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it IS a brick, which is why it's ridiculous that I paid twice as much for it. Then again, who would've ever thought that they'd have this thing at almost 50% off?

mechaninac Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ah! This community can be detrimental to your financial health! I had pretty much sworn off getting the GX-64 because of its MSRP before shipping and the fact I already have a BPX-01. But dang it, at just over $170 shipped EMS, I'm sorely tempted...

Kyp Durron Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ffffuuu.... Oh well. I got mine and I'm happy with it, but that still stings. How do you think I feel? I bought TWO of these motherfrakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah, when I saw that sale price I was a bit pissed. Like the rest of you, it stings quite a bit when you've paid full price. Chris Edited May 27, 2014 by Dobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Holy crap! If you were on the fence for the GX-64 Yamato or want a second one, here is your chance it's on sale!! http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN971040/Sci Chris Wow! Like my initial review said, it was not worth the MSRP price, but it's definitely worth 1/2 the price. Dang!!! If there's anyone on the fence, I'd jump at it at this price. It sure stings that I paid more than twice including shipping, plus I got dinged $60 from customs too! Ouch!. At least I found some great decals for the tiny little white markings and the yellow hatched areas - I'm planning on posting the little touch ups to my GX-64, but I hadn't had a chance to weather and clear coat it yet. I'm still debating on adding the 1/700 scale photo-etched ships railing and ladders - they fit perfectly, but weren't seen on screen (although those little white markings around the torpedo tubes and waterline marks weren't really seen on the screen and only appears in paintings and illustrations.

mechaninac Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I succumbed to the temptation -- I'm weak when presented with a bargain for something I had an interest in already... This is proving to be one VERY expensive year, and it's not even half over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I, too, finally succumbed to the temptation coz I don't think the pricing will go lower than that and I don't think Bluefin will price-match it with the US-version. It's also a good thing HLJ's got Private Warehouse so I can at least stagger the hurt of the shipping-fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 So does this mean that the 2199 Yamato hasn't sold as well as it should've, hence the bargain bin like price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangard Ace Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Considering those that bought SoC GX-57 thought it was good enough and didn't want to buy the 2199 version.... I still love my 2199 version cause I bought it off Bluefin instead of importing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Like Wiiliam said, it's a really nice piece and it has a good heft to it too. It's just not worth the original asking price IMO. It IS worth this sale price though, so feel good you guys that are getting it for this amazing price. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) It's such a gamble with these imported, niche items. I made sure I got my GX-64 as soon as possible because I didn't want to sleep on it like I have with other things, miss my window of opportunity and then have to pay outrageous secondary market prices to get it. Live and learn, I guess. It's an absolute steal at nearly half off, though. Great for people who were still on the fence. I admit that I thought it would've sold better than it has.

myk Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 And that's where those of us that paid the original price are at: if we had waited to buy it we might've missed it and then be forced to pay scalper prices for it. For example, I could've bought Diskvision's Elsa figure last year for half of what I paid for it this year just because. Either way it's a gamble...

treatment Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It was way overpriced. The current HLJ discounted pricing, tho lower, is still too expensive for a non-mecha chogokin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifam7 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I paid full price plus EMS shipping from HLJ and don't regret it one bit. That's how much I like GX-64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Slightly off topic but the GX-67 Harlock Arcadia has made another appearance at the recent toy show in Japan. Due to release in Oct.....but they got to be kidding with that price!! As 'The Who' said "I won't get fooled again" Yeah right Bandai!!
