lol! They've done this before with the Frontier-v2 DX-valks and some of the Metal Build Gundams. So, yeah. Seems Bandai's up to their tricks again of artificially limiting supply again to try to drive up perception of the item's value. Wonder why. Could it be that the Delta DX-valks are just slow-sellers and not profitable to them to meet their whatever projections,. Or they're just being dicks about it? Either way, this will only help the scalpers, Way to go, Bandai!

Was just at Amz-jp and it has a 2/28/19 release-date listing: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B077ZQ47CK/ Not sure if true...

Thought you would've already has some first-hand info about it. Their website lists the Melkia in the Jan/2019 shipping-schedule: https://www.threezerohk.com/shipping-schedule/

While we wait for Jenius if will ever get his 1/12 Melkia (and if issues-free, too) from threezero to review, found these rather recent yt-reviews (sept/2018) of the classic Takara 1/18 DMZs from a japanese fan. Not from wotafa, tho. Japanese-audio only. Scopedog DMZ-01: Turbo-Custom Scopedog DMZ-05: Dude's got some other interesting toy-reviews (chogokins, etc) in his channel, too.

I'm way behind you guys. The kids keep monopolizing the PS4, especially with the recent Kingdom Hearts new release or something. Anyway, yeah. Just completed mission-10 after about three or four tries on it. Could not believe the special plane could stand repeated hits from me and I always ended up hitting the time-limit every time. Finally figured out to just let that damn special plane eat as much 8AAMs as I can spam it with when it played its chicken game on me. Guess its "armor" could not stand more than two headon missile hits directly. As for Mission-9, I used the Mig-29 again with LAGMs. Kinda funny endo-ing into the clouds every time a missile alert gets triggered. I've only used a HOTAS setup on the PC. I don't think it improves gameplay, but It can give you some sort of immersive satisfaction compared to the usual kb/mouse or even a gamepad setup. Especially if you have a complete set: JS, throttle, foot-pedals. The flight-sim blokes can and usually go really crazy on HOTAS stuff. That said, I've yet to try to use a HOTAS on a console. I still have the old TM T-Flight, but it currently doesn't work with the PS/4. Not really sure I want to spring for the specific PS/4 version right now, tho.

seems like there was another recent 500y price-drop on it Amz-jp. w00 h00?

Just testing out a 3rd-party flash, so here's the DX and old Yammie-1/48-dyrl Hikaru pilot-figures in a rinkydink newray 1/48 fokker-d7...

Try installing the option-parts to maybe keep the arms from sagging in battroid-mode. Not really sure if it will. tho. Otherwise, you will just have to try to hunt down another VF-1A Brownie or two. They show up from time to time at the usual japan import-shops. Maybe even here in the MWF sales-sections. Somebody there prolly might have a broken Brownie that can help you.

Bandai Hi-Metal R: Dougram series
treatment replied to treatment's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finally an update on the Dougram-line! saw from td earlier: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-277266-1-1.html Don't see any pbandai/twe indicators, so regular release! YES!!!
-
Yup. The TV-equivalent don't have FPs : http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/vefr-1.htm
-
Depends on: -- what you're buying. -- who exactly you are buying it from. (amz direct vs marketplace/3rd-party). -- how many you are actually buying.
-
Why not just preorder it already while you go waiting a day or so, and then cancel if you find other vendors' offering to be better than amz-jp? The amz-jp po-page says you have until 2/11 to cancel it, anyway.
-
It'll be really interesting tonite when the regular japan-shops opens up their respective po-pages to find out how much (if any) discounts each will be offering for it. Hope it'll be significant enough to get amz-jp to knock down their current offering from the MSRP-level.
-
Not quite sure, but I believe this is the first ever PF offered by amz-jp direct? Don't recall ever seeing any of the previous PFs from other than the usual marketplace/3rd-party scalpers sellers over at amz-jp.
-
Arcadia never really have any po-madness shenanigans. It'll prolly have a 12-months-after-release-date "madness", but never a po-madness in recent memory. The po-madness shenanigans is totally a Bandai-thing.

Well, the VE-1 was released at least twice by Yamato: 2009 and 2012(30th-anniv) versions. Both were good sellers, iirc. The high pricing on the secondary-market is/was due entirely to the scalpers that hoarded it back when Yamato was about to go under. If you live in the US, then amz-jp is currently the best option, especially with the fast dhl-shipping. Ami might have better item-discounts on it if you import from them, but the shipping-fees will most likely offset that advantage. This applies to other regular japan-shops if you import. Maybe N-Y will still offer the boat-option if you want to get the lowest shipping-fees with the longest wait/delivery. If you live in Japan, then maybe amz-jp is good enough at least for returns. Otherwise, ami and the other japan-shops will most likely have discounts and free shipping for japan-residents. Don't really know which shop(s) will better for you if you live outside Japan or US. VATs and all that other stuff...
-
What do you mean by that? Btw, the Arcadia GBP-1J was released 4-5 yrs ago. The last Arcadia regular release is currently the Super-1J Max since the VF-1J Tux-2.0 is currently not released yet.
-
Just wish amz-jp brings back their old combine-orders/shipping feature like they used to. That was a great feature that they somehow disabled or obsoleted. Wanted to combine this Arcadia VE-1 with my HMR-1D order for one shipping.
-
That's just Tokyo-tax included for Japan-residents pricing. 25.8k-yen for non-japan residents.
-
Saw it and got one, too. Kinda pisses me off that we're ordering at MSRP yet again like the DX-1J. Just hoping amz-jp kicks in some of their usual discounting later on to drive the pricing down.
-
Not sure if it's just the marketing-sample on TH, but the "eye" sticker on it looks like still user-installed manual placement...

I haven't gotten back to playing the game/mission6 again, but the Mig29 I used had LAGMs which were nice with ground-targets even with the rather slow-ish reload-time. Speaking of which, I do like the Mig29, but it seems to have significanly slower climbing ability after steep diving compared to when I'm using the F-14 using the same maneuver. The F14 is just quite fabulous to me! Oh, I just got the email from amz about my dlc/bonus keys last night. I did have to prod them a bit about it yesterday since they didn't respond after asking me for the same details again that the sunday's chat-transcript already provided. Guess I'm good to go get it now. If I ever remember my pswd at psn... edit: welp! Got my AC5 and the DLC. While dl'ing, decided to play again and just stick with the Mig29 with LAGMs and alternating it with the 4AAMs from the base. Went rather smoothly after a couple of runs and finally completed mission-6 with it. Got the A10 unlocked and the F4E dlc now shows up, too. w00t! This First Contact mission was kinda weird with all that electrical stuff, but it's already late and got work tomorrow to continue playing it. Will try again this weekend or so. edit2: anybody use their hotas setup on this, yet?
-
I skipped the original yammie-v2, but I believe it had the most tampo-printing among the 1/60v2's. So technically, it was already "PF" even back during the yammie-days. The upcoming 25.8k-y msrp for it is just a little bit more than the msrp's for the regular Super/Strike versions, but I think that is mostly inline with the old yammie-practice of pricing it a bit more than the other Super/Strike versions.
-
Oh, that base! Saw it in the map, but haven't had a chance to check it out. I will later on. Fwiw, finding out that the 8-AAMs were only good on parked jets, but pretty much useless on any airborned enemies. Quite a bit different from my old AC6 experience. Oh, well...
-
What resupply? Haven't unlocked the the A-10, yet. Currently using an F-14d on it. It gets me up to 17k before time's up. The Mig29 was nice, but can only so far get 14k on it. I'll get it soon. Just had to know where the Gripends will show up after I took care of the drones.
