  1. I know but sometimes listings have gone up outside of normal Japan operating hours.
  2. *constantly refreshing different retailer sites like a madman...*
  3. I like that the Metal Robot Spirit line for Seed Destiny has Infinite Justice and Akatsuki. Maybe Legend will still be released. The metal build lineup has been stuck with rehashes.
  4. Seems more like an automatic/ generic response. Hopefully though but Bluefin hasn't brought in a lot of the TWE stateside. P-Bandai US did sell Wing Zero before so who knows.
  5. I think at this point, go order to whatever legit site it is being offered. Worst case scenario is if they are unable to nab a PO. I don't know if it's a high demand TWE. Somehow I feel this version is pretty obscure. But who knows? Because if it's that high of a demand, expect it be sold out immediately when Bandai opens up the PO.
  6. Limit of 1 per customer with Kurama. I just wonder if any of these retailers will be successful in fulfilling the orders they received. https://www.kuramatoys.com/gundam-fix-figuration-metal-composite-wing-gundam-snow-white-prelude/
  7. I don't think it will. It seems the designer blue 00 Raiser is more like periwinkle blue.
  8. Got it. Thank you. At least it's automatic and no need to wait for an email or something.
  9. Does FromJapan automatically notify you if they have received their max units when you place the order? Or do you have to wait for an email from them? How successful are they though in placing high demand TWE orders?
  10. Hard to say honestly. It depends on the popularity and Bandai's asinine way of allocating available units. They may open another round or 2 if it sells out quickly but there is no way to know.
  11. I like what @Anasazi37said about HLJ. If they are willing to do the phased PO time, that can be helpful for those in the EST to PST zones (well PST isn't that bad to be honest). My thinking here is if Big West has been winning back their copyright on other regions of the globe, shouldn't that pave the way for Bandai to increase production numbers and export them to these areas? With regular release Metal Build and SOC/DX super robot stuff, they're not that hard to get. I don't even bother competing on JP PO night. I wait for the domestic PO. If I miss that, guess what? There are some decent prices to be found from EU retailers and sometimes their PO goes up earlier than US POs.
  12. Or take the Hot Toys/ Sideshow route and leave the PO open even just for 2 days to get all the orders in.
  13. The retailers aren't having problems selling all the Macross pre-order units they have so they don't really have an incentive to agree to this offer. Unless, the people agree to buy other stuff that aren't flying off their shelves.
  14. @Kuma Styleyou can take the measurements for @sqidd. How tall are the spaces for your detolf @sqidd? I'll look at your other posts just to gauge if it'll fit if it's extended all the way.
  15. See, the wing effects are quite heavy and they come with supports to keep it propped up (you can see the clear plastic at the base of the wing). Destiny's wing effects can be set up 2 ways, one for fully open and another that is halfway which you see on Kuma's. I don't know how far off the deck when fully opened but with the halfway, I think you can lower the wings a bit more to almost have the top be parallel to the ground (or whatever). Since you like the bad guys, I'll be a bit more mean with another pic. :P
  16. It is the full set. How far it can be rotated may be limited because it may end up hitting the shoulders. Edit: when you mean rotate down, do you mean lowering the wings vertically or rotating it forward/backwards to create some vertical clearance? Anyway, just to push you a bit further. Hehehe...
  17. Got mine also last night. Tried the campaign first. Just played the first two stages. There's this new enemy that's really annoying 'cause it's hard to shoot it down. I haven't tried the playing online yet. Definitely, there's a great improvement on the graphics.
