    Pretty much. Price isn't an issue here. You desperately pray you can get one for less than 50% above MSRP. Consider anything cheaper than that a flawless victory.
  2. David Hingtgen
    Right around 24 hours from now, most likely. Wonder if HLJ's going to be in on the initial frenzy?

    A bit OT for this thread, but they're actually making Apollo 13 this time, with a new "splash-down" display. See here: http://tamashii.jp/special/o_chogokin/spec/index06.php Based on that, I'm hoping/guessing that a new shuttle will be like an 80's Atlantis or something--the "iconic" scheme.

    Late Tues night/Wed morning then (for North/South America at least), assuming it'll still be at 4PM Tokyo time. And yeah, I will still ban anyone who posts a fake/trolling link.

    If she picks up a few then, you could probably sell the extras here---both to those who don't want to wait for the July re-release, or are paranoid about a pre-order not being fulfilled (which is a legit concern).

    Next person to post a fake/trolling link will immediately be banned for a week, by me personally.

    The re-release of the Saturn V mentioned in the same Toys Daily post is definitely happening, as Bandai has since released new pics, as it's not exactly the same as the original.
  8. David Hingtgen
    So are there going to be "new" pages for the re-issue, or will they just update/modify the "original" sold-out renewal pages? Anyone know based on the -29 re-issues?
  9. David Hingtgen
    That's what you get for thinking first. Gotta act, not think!

    Weekend numbers already? It's not over yet, and I plan to see it tonight...
  11. David Hingtgen
    None of the above----you keep refreshing those websites like a madman around the time they should open their orders up, and pray you can complete the checkout process ahead of the other 10,000 people trying to do the same thing. Price will be mostly irrelevant--you'll pay whatever the site is asking for, assuming you can secure one. Real rough guess---$130 to $180, plus shipping.

    By my calculations----2AM tonight, in the Central US. Or a bit under 11 hours from now. Though I suspect HLJ won't be doing it until later, possibly days. (depends on how much weekend/Easter holiday they take off)

    A couple of my own pics: Gestalt size comparison. Same pose, different figures.
  14. David Hingtgen
    An hour and a day, AFAIK. Yeesh, now I'm paranoid, I was going to go to bed soon...
  15. David Hingtgen
    Could you leave some for those of us who have none?
  16. David Hingtgen
    I *NEED* a VF-25F Yes, that bad. But more so. Seriously people---group buy, multiple pre-orders to ensure just one comes through, animal sacrifice---whatever it takes, I'm gonna do it. I have been searching for one since about 4 weeks after it first came out--never saw one under 200. I should have bought that 225 one, but at the time I thought "heck, it was like $138 with a pre-order, I'm not paying 225!"
  17. David Hingtgen
    Not lately!

    I'm not ordering anything until I see a detailed parts breakdown, for how it's molded color-wise. Due to how thin the wings and tailfins are, I'm betting they'll just be single pieces, with decal stripes. (two-toned ventral fins are a pipe dream IMHO, but it'd be nice)
  19. David Hingtgen
    Just FYI but you'll find a ton more info and tips on these in the models forum.
  20. David Hingtgen
    I liked the first one *much* more than the second. The second was purely side-filler to expand a story that had already ended. Now, a prequel would have worked great. But a sequel? Nope, total re-hash of everything. Same places, same weapons, same plot.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Hey, that gives me hope---if the main 4 actors are all going to be replaced with CGI, can they replace Megan Fox with a CGI fair-skinned redhead, for an accurate April? (the CG April probably would look more "real", too, sadly---and I bet it'd emote better!)
  22. David Hingtgen
    Surely this has been reported on/tried but I can't find it online---just how close is a G1 cassette to a real micro-cassette, size-wise? Been a while since I've seen a real micro-cassette, but I think they're more "square" than a G1 cassette.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Makes me wonder who'll do MP Ratbat first---Takara or 3P?
  24. David Hingtgen
    I hope for, but don't expect that. Molding the wings and tailfins in several pieces to have molded-in accent colors would help prevent a LOT of paint-rubs, but I figure they'll be single pieces with decals, and won't last 1 full sequence of F-B-F. Similarly---I'd love a Milia, but figure it'd be molded like 90% red, and would come with a ton of white stickers to cover the legs and arms with... Now, if the parts layout was broken up correctly, and most every piece was molded the correct color like a modern MG with almost no painting needed, then it'd be AMAZING and I'd probably buy several...
  25. David Hingtgen
    And because they're 1 per figure, they're not color-matched to either figure, but rather a "neutral" black so they'll work as a pair. Bluestreak has red cannons, damnit!
