calubin_175 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Looks like the Regult missile variant markings are based on the lineart, much like the destroids with their fixed number tampos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion One Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) What outlets are selling the Regult Variants? I found it on NY and CDJapan, but haven't seen it on HLJ Edited August 4, 2017 by Vermillion One update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingaio Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) So I finally caved and pre-ordered the Regult variants on N-Y. My first time ordering through them. There was the option to pay in USD (about $185) vs in Yen (18800Y). I thought that the USD amount should have been lower, like around $170, based on straight conversion, so that seemed weird to me. I just went ahead and preordered in Yen. Anybody have the skinny on how the currency exchange works with N-Y? Thanks! Edit #1: The charge just showed up on my credit card as $170. That's weird that if I'd picked paying in USD, I would have paid like $15 more. Edit #2: Also picked up a Glaug for $97 shipped off eBay. Seems expensive for a smallish toy, but Zentradi mechs don't usually get turned into cool-looking toys. I've been staying away from the Hi-Metal R line because I don't like the compromises made on the VF-1 valks due to their size, but I couldn't resist getting the Spartan/Defender and the Glaug/Regults. Still debating whether I want the Monster--that design always seemed goofy to me, a lumbering, barely movable gun turret, essentially.

sh9000 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Always pay with JPY and not USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Their conversion rate won't be as good as the real rates. The only time it makes sense to use USD is if you anticipate the rates to go worse when it comes time to pay. That way, you pay the USD no matter what the rate at the time is. That's probably why their rates are worse too..to protect them from conversion rate changes. I always pay in yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's artillery, not meant to be super agile but lays down massive firepower. It's one of the finest HMR, build wise. Full of ratchets, metal joints and surprisingly articulated for what it is. There are still deals on it and worth regular price even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
