We'll see, got a VF-4G and a YF-29 (Alto, for ¥14,450!) on order in case it's not.

I stumbled on a YF-29 earlier too. And after I placed an order it went to Discontinue. I wonder if it’s just a glitch. 

Edit: Got my email order confirmation 15mins ago. 

I posted this link in the Items of Interest at HLJ thread.

Oh, I got order confirmations for both (and the Alto YF-29 is still listed as available), but I'll hold my breath until it's in my private warehouse.

 

Edit: if this is real, I'm wondering if some scalper or store went belly up and their stock got auctioned off, between this and the Yamato V1 VF-1s that showed up on Hobby Search a while ago.

I checked again and Alto is now discontinued.

Just checked, and placed an order for a premium finish Roy VF-1, let's see if that happens.  If so, I think the only other one I'd get is a Hikaru 1J. :) 

Yeah. I’m tempted on getting another Armored VF-1J. ;)

I admit, getting another Roy is a little excessive for me, so I'll probably let go of my early Arcadia Roy with the stand.  I'd rather have it match all my other DYRL valks, but I can also replace the pilot and packs, and pass this one off as a TV version to display along with the premium M&Ms, so it kind of works out. 

Assuming there aren't a ton of tampo markings on the head, I can even swap in the head from my original Yamato TV Roy to get the correct arrow color. :)

Damn, all that is really tempting...the VF-4G, YF-19, VF-0S, Premium 1S...Damn, I want to buy them all. But the Armored 1J for that price...I'd feel like an idiot not picking another one up and I don't feel like feeling like an idiot.:ph34r:

¥62,870 later I feel your pain. I'm just glad I already had an Arcadia YF-19.

:lol:LOL, yeah...I almost wish I didn't see these posts. I'm sitting here with my finger on the trigger for the Premium Roy 1S but I passed the first time so...

I have all the others including the armored 1J but I just couldn't let that opportunity pass. If I didn't have the YF-19 or VF-4G (or needless to say, M&M), those would be so instabuy it wouldn't be funny.

Hmmm that sounds like a great idea! :rolleyes:

All that Macross stuff suddenly appearing on HLJ... My wallet would be a lot lighter tonight if I didn't already have all that stuff. Or put another way, my wallet was already made lighter by those things. :mellow:

I'm actually wondering how many of these they actually had, if any, or if it was actually a glitch.  I placed the order for a Premium Roy to go to my warehouse while it read "in stock," but I haven't seen any update past the order confirmation.  Maybe it was late enough in the day that it won't register until the next business day, but now it's listed as "discontinued."  :huh:

Those prices are what they were when they were first released, right?

That screams glitch in the system to me.  But hey, if not, congrats on the deal!:D

If it's a glitch: Phew, didn't spend $600 on more valkyries!

If it's not a glitch: Hey, got 3 more Valkyries!

:lol:

Hopefully it's not. Because that's the only way for me to spend on a DX YF-29 Alto. :rolleyes:

Wait... they put orange caps on the guns included in an action figure?  :rolleyes: 

It’s a gag for Deadpool, the clips say Chimichonga on the side too.  The Grenade launcher has “Bye Bye!!!” painted on it too.  The Punisher, and even the other two Deadpool figures, don’t have those tips.  And those tips are only on the Uzi’s. The M-16 does not have that, nor the pistol.

K, good, that's what I was hoping. :lol:  I know Deadpool usually comes with a few gag accessories, but hadn't seen them do that particular one before, and I'm not familiar with the line outside of the pics I see here.  Thanks for clearing it up. :)

Mac-11's or Mac-10's, not Uzi's. Sorry, one of the main reasons I wanted the figure but I didn't notice the tips.

Dude, I’m all-in on the Mezco One:12 line of Marvel figures.  I’ve only skipped three so far and I missed a pre-order for a limited one plus a con exclusive I couldn’t get as well but I love them.  They’re not entirely perfect but essentially they’re like Hot Toys shrunk to six inch scale (soft goods),  less fragile and based on the comic properties instead of movies, though more movie versions have become a thing for this line too.

It wouldn’t be difficult to paint over those tips.  But the silly writing on the sides might not be a draw either.

Looks like it was an error, just got emails for all 3 items saying "no dice, no stock".

Well, at least that didn't cost me $600.
