seti88 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 For books I thk Amazon jp has quite the range of new and used as well at really hard to beat prices.
eggy99 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 are the other two Valkyries art-books still in-print? or should I start scouring ebay/etc. for them? Amazon JP has Book 1 and 2, and available to ship outside of Japan. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=srs%3D3534638051%26search-alias%3Dspecialty-aps&field-keywords=%E3%83%90%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA+%E5%A4%A9%E7%A5%9E%E8%8B%B1%E8%B2%B4%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%E7%94%BB%E9%9B%86 Remember to use the Amazon Global portal when searching for items that ship internationally. It will only return results that can ship internationally so you don't get disappointed during check out. https://www.amazon.co.jp/b/ref=footer_global?ie=UTF8&node=3534638051
no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I'm curious. If we're going to use Amazon.jp for these books esp the first two ones. Why not just use the US site instead? It's available there too. Is the one posted on Amazon Japan site is brand new or used too?

So probably good option to buy 2nd hand for US buyers to save on shipping, but JP option is best for the most everyone else.
NZEOD Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 yeah! Its way cheaper for JP to OZ and NZ than the US to Down Under. And WAYYYYYY faster.
spanner Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 yeah! Its way cheaper for JP to OZ and NZ than the US to Down Under. And WAYYYYYY faster. yes and YES!!!

I really felt your excitement over there, spanner.
spanner Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I really felt your excitement over there, spanner. hehe! would you expect anything less from a impatient tight arse like me!
Zinjo Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 bloody typical.. I wonder if I can cancel my order with Amazon as I'd rather order through HLJ to be perfectly honest.. but if I cant then I guess its no big deal. They both have them listed for the very same price. Well the price is the same as HLJ when you pre-order. Not sure why it's list price doesn't show the discount?
NZEOD Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) hehe! would you expect anything less from a impatient tight arse like me! Isnt the term... "ADDICT" I get the impression you get the DDTs if you dont get a regular 1/60 scale bargain I'm hoping to get some good enough image scans from these books to be able to make Wall Paper out of for my Home Office walls.

And I reckon they should include a USB memory stick or DVD with all the pictures in digital form so we can print them out as needed!

spanner Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 hey Noel, yeah each book should have its own unique download code! that would be so crazy! imagine the desktop wallpaper possibilities!!

I do like the Basara pic too but his Valks head is waaayyy too clowny faced.. still downloaded it! the SDF-1 is already on my iPad. Hehehe. Looks lovely and intimidating at the same time. As for Basara's VF-19Kai, I really don't understand a Valk with a face. Sorry. hey Noel, yeah each book should have its own unique download code! that would be so crazy! imagine the desktop wallpaper possibilities!! Right? Would it be nice to have a digital copy. Rotating wallpaper every 30 minutes. Edited September 8, 2016 by no3Ljm
no3Ljm Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Could always scan ever page I suppose. Yeah. That's an option too. But it's not as crisp as the original file that they used for the book prior of printing. And scanning it means you have to open the whole spine of the book in order to scan the image from edge to edge. Unless we buy a second one only for scanning.
jvmacross Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Wonder if we'll get some "teaser" HMR illustrations.....
slide Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 thanks for the link Major Tom! I do like the Basara pic too but his Valks head is waaayyy too clowny faced.. still downloaded it! That whole show was Clown-faced... but I still love it!! Yeah. That's an option too. But it's not as crisp as the original file that they used for the book prior of printing. And scanning it means you have to open the whole spine of the book in order to scan the image from edge to edge. Unless we buy a second one only for scanning. Is there a place where one could procure a Print (like, classy wall-hanging artwork size) of Mr Tenjin's work without degrading the image quality by having to DIY it? If not someone needs to get on that... they're missing out, and so are my walls!
spanner Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 That whole show was Clown-faced... but I still love it!! ahhh yes! indeed it was..
no3Ljm Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Thanks for sharing that sh9000. Now I'm excited!
spanner Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 that was fantastic! seriously cant wait for this! im sure it will make up for the relatively disappointing VF-4 master file.. (in my opinion of course) its gotta be getting close to release for sure yes? around mid September if I remember correctly?

no3Ljm Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 This coming Friday. Oh man. I didn't know. i should've waited before I shipped out my items at HLJ's PW. Oh well, I'll just wait for the other books to arrive before shipping it.
slide Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) the one of the '19 and '21 in front of the Sharon emblem... it begs to be enlarged and put on my wall... I'll have to look into that! Friday... yay for HLJ's PW system! Edited September 12, 2016 by slide
eggy99 Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Holy cow! Amazon JP shipped out some of the items I ordered with the book and it's coming via DHL!!!! Shipped today arriving Thursday (Australia)! WAY faster than EMS. Nice that Amazon ship items separately but only charge you for single combined shipment.
spanner Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 DHL would be great as the driver regularly stops by my work so I get can get stuff directly without the worry of missing the delivery..
spanner Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Amazon juuuuuust took payment. Same for me! Getting DHL notifications already!
eggy99 Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Yep got my Amazon shipping notification. ETA Friday!
spanner Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 mine says eta is Monday but DHL shipments normally don't take that long so im hoping it will arrive Friday so I can enjoy the book over the weekend! fingers crossed anyways..
UN Spacy Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Arrived at noon...but I'm stuck at the office.
This Confuses Gamlin Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 I should get a drink or something.
