treatment

It's the same generic hlj cancel-email that Nicaragua had gotten. I can only guess that some scalper (prolly local) already cleaned out their new restocks.

still only Skullgrins, Jetblade, and Bumblebee in the stores over here. oh, and btw, more bad news: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/reveal-the-shield-scout-assortment-possibly-cancelled---legends-assortment-status-unknown-171877/

well, frak! just got my cancellation email right now from hlj regarding my Yammie-block order from last week. kept me in suspense for a week.

sale's over. for now. wallet-relief, i reckon. so whatcha guys wasted yer money on from this recent sale? me, I got: Ghost booster Fold Dildo Milia-22s Max-22s Max-TV

no BT-22 Prime?

on hlj now as well: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00214

uhmm, in this case, you simply just missed out on this latest restock. so better luck next time. fwiw, i'm hoping my hlj confirmation-email for it ain't a joke, either.

Hey, guys. Just a quick question: you guys try the Yammie-arm or the Yammie-block to pose your 21/22 in battroid-mode? If so, which adaptor from the yammie-arm did you particularly used?

it wasn't a joke. "Order Stop" means their preorder-quota has been filled-up.

heads up, guys. The Mighty Block Stand is coming back at hlj: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34700 edit: "Order Stop" status now. Bummer for those who missed out on pre-ordering. Try again during actual release/restock-date, whenever that will be this month.

it's back up again. unfortunately, the exchange-rate already went down to 84.05 from 84.53.

am I the only one having issues connecting to HLJ today (4/1/11)?

yup. otherwise, she'll be touching her groin instead. edit/add: here's a shot with the shoulders regularly closed-in and a pilot-moonshot, since she keeps popping forward from her rotated seat when in battroid-mode.

i didn't. i may have to use some paste to keep her on her seat properly. or just put her in reverse for a mooning position.

I just got my Milia-22s today and the one thing that bothered me most as a negative is that it's obviously back-heavy in battroid-mode so free-standing her will take a bit of an effort and balancing. She does stand fine on a regular pose, but mine was wanting either to do a bow and/or a split when I tried some wider stance poses. Prolly need to get a stand for her if you want her in exotic battroid-mode poses. Not sure if the Max/Gamlin/yf-21 have the same free-standing issues in battroid-mode since I have none of them, yet. As such, the Fighter and Gerwalk modes were relatively fine, tho. more add: another thing to watch out for is that the rear landing-gears don't have any detents on my Milia, so consider when in fighter-mode. You might as well check the VF-22S thread for more of the issues regarding the 21/22S.

nice. so it'll be like the Yammie Regult kit, right? that partial "6600..." is such a teaser.

welp! the 2% stuff has ended and the exchange-rate's @ 82.84y right now, so i reckon you can order more stuff again. until the sale is over, that is. anyway, my Milia-22s via SAL should finally be arriving this week (fingers crossed!). decided to go ahead and order the Max-22s today, even tho I still don't have my Milia to really justify it. I reckon HLJ's inventory of the M&M's are prolly running out by now and reissues of 'em are unlikely the way the VF1v2 M&Ms went. :sigh: if only the yf-21's got a better sale-price...

moar pix and stuff! http://www.dailyblam.com/news/2011/03/30/new-wonder-woman-tv-series-set-pics-reveal-changes-to-the-heroines-costume they went with the red boots and darker pants, but Adrianne's still a DAMN FINE HOTTIE! even her stunt-double's quite physically fit and not that bad, either... another vid: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/nick-allen/8417104/New-Wonder-Woman-in-action.html

nice, but i'll just wait for the BD release. hopefully they finally make live-action Ikkitousen (at least Dragon Destiny) next after this. they really should!

Yup. Exactly. During's the keyword. Like I said before, Frontier-BD was the best chance for Bandai to get around HG's continued blocking and trolling of the Macross-bridge to the US. Frontier was a new and native-BD production back then and the BD was highly anticipated since it's gonna be playable in US-players without any modifications. Not like the MZero-BD where they will actually cost them more to add english-subs post-production years after. As soon as I got my preordered Frontier-BD vol-1 and disappointingly discovered Bandai didn't put any english-subs still, I canceled all my remaining Frontier-BD preorders from AmazonJapan. There just wasn't any point for me to support the title anymore. http://macross.anime.net/production/animation_live_action/plus/index.html http://www.onlineghibli.com/hear_the_sea/

welp! Here goes my current valks using their stands to give you more ideas. fwiw, the Yammie-block can actually support the weighty Roy-0S with the Ghost booster with not much of an issue. I just prefer it hoisted up on the Yammie-arm. just hope Yamato-Toys bring back the Yammie-blocks. To me, they're good enough for valkyrie/fighter-modes even tho they're damn relatively cheap. for now, however, the rather expensive Yammie-arm is the only one available on sale. I think the flightpose-stands are a bit much cooler, tho. Bummer I don't have a 21, yet, to test on the yammie-block. My Milia-22s is still in transit, but I don't think it supports the yf-19/yf-21 armor-foldildo thingy. Hmmm. maybe I'll just unbox my old 1/72 yf-21fp instead. nahh...

And like I said, that's BS. Subbing-cost will be insignificant and will be not a factor when producing them during the BD-creation. Actually, you don't have the relevant titles that's why you didn't know what you're talking about. Your point doesn't stand at all since even I can't believe you forgot about Macross Plus stuff. I thought I didn't have to, but check my attachment. Tell me where you can find an earlier licensed R1 edition of that in the US.

Err, you missed the point. Bandai was heavily pushing BD back then as their primary media and Frontier was the best title at the right time that had the best chance to really show off the tech that that is capable of including multiple subtitles. Bandai elected not to add subs on it. Iirc, there were some data that showed Frontier-BD actually had significant import-sales. say what? :sigh: So you just don't have any Ghibli R2J-dvd's in your possession, then. Moving on. Macross Plus had english-dubs and english-subs when it was first released in the States. I believe there was even an international-version from Japan that had either a dub or subs or both. When I got my remastered Plus-box, it didn't have any english subs or dubs. So what are you were saying again?

I'm sure many of us will be happy if they can finally distribute the Macross titles with english-subs on 'em on shiny media (dvd and/or bd) for us to purchase. Until then, however, skepticism will continue.
