  1. The other Macross stuff has movie releases in the states, so I would expect the ova and even full series to more than likely get released in some form or another
  2. I mentioned on one of these pages that when I had to ship the regult model kit that was only $20, they were charging almost $60 to ship. That price didn’t even change when I bundled a few items with it. so at the cheapest price on these being close to $100, adding $60 isn’t so bad. But from the short time since that Regult came out the shipping has gotten cheaper to my understanding. And Bandai definitely bundles their shipments in bulk, so the markup shouldn’t be that big a difference. as far as the hmr being worth only half an Arcadia is being a bit kind to Arcadia. The hmr vf0 will be a bit shorter and may lack the functional landing gear, but appears to be able to pose better and looks better overall, plus it has the shorter wing option for battroid that makes it more accurate to the anime. And a cool stand
  3. The price at some places really didn’t seem any worse than what I expected. $102 for a new mold with what appears to be better engineered and has option parts for the legs as well as a nice little stand. too bad the states didn’t get closer to that price.

    I remember buying the regult kit from hasegawa on sale for $20 and they wanted almost $60 for the shipping. I had to bundle it to save money. But in this case Bandai is already getting a bundle deal shipping in bulk, but screwing everyone over outside of Japan. They don’t want outsiders buying their stuff and then punishing us for wanting to help earn them money. I expected these to be more expensive due to shipping, but it’s a bit much. I was thinking $40 at the most above the Japanese price
  5. I kinda like the younger audience adventure stuff lately. Space shows like Lost in Space and the Mandalorian have been good so far and as far as fantasy, I really liked Dark Crystal. Hopefully more fun stuff will be on the way
  6. That’s about a dollar cheaper than gundam planet. If the Japanese sites weren’t so crazy, I’d have ordered from them. The sale mark up seems really high for the world wide releases. To get anything close to competing with the Japanese ones you really need a coupon and bonus points. Then again the stupid high price is making less of a stress for a preorder seeing as how hours later none of the American sites have sold out.
  7. I haven’t really noticed a problem with models not being available in the states. The toys are definitely a new thing to see lately. Some of the usual gundam stores had the wave destroids a couple years ago and their vf4 recently as well as local stores having hasegawa kits from time to time. Sometimes I’ll even see the Bandai stuff

    Not if you hadn’t used it yet. I’m looking around at other places for some cheaper prices or a discount for another friend right now. Seems a few more sites are popping up with preorders

    If you haven’t used it, there’s a new customer one that does work
  10. Well there’s a little help with coupons for new customers at USA gundam store. There’s is $164 and the coupon takes off more than $15
  11. Especially after last night with amiami selling out in two seconds. I ordered 2 from usags and the discount was over $32 I’m glad that was an option
  12. I still want that one that wave teased a few years back
  13. Probably not anytime within the next couple years
