Already gone at HLJ too. Wow. -
Their website in general seems kind of awful now. It seems to load everything else then pull the item info separately to display, yet is so slow that it takes a while to do this or just straight up fails to.
-
Well, that'd explain it. Wish there was an indication of that being the case.
-
That's... huh. That's real weird. It shows 03:00 ~ Japan Time for me.
-
3 PM Japanese time, which would be 2 AM Eastern. Just a bit under an hour and a half if amiami's time is right. Well, it also shows it as "reservations closed" and someone on MFC was saying they'd already opened and sold out. I'd be happy to be wrong, but if nothing else the confusion between title and release date info is kind of odd.
-
Not a placeholder, they started pre-orders on the 1st for some reason and are apparently already sold out.
-
It only seems to be the one company doing things in 1/72 for some reason.
-
They have zero actual effect on anything. Why even waste the effort to complain about them?
-
There's no way we're not getting a Kaempfer at this point.
-
Falcon's such a high cost up front due to the wings that he should be possible to release as-is, like Thanos. The price to beat seems to be $80 or so, since Thanos is $81 and clears it on his own but the $50-ish smaller figures need added accessories to bump them over that price point.

MB Levy has a release date now, June 30th. http://tamashii.jp/item/12472/?wovn=en

Are people really surprised that Lando would nail anything with a pulse, and probably some things without? It's Billie Dee Williams in a cape, of course he'd nail anything and everything. Pretty sure Billie Dee himself made a joke at a convention that Han and Lando were boning and that's how Lando ended up wearing Han's clothes in Return of the Jedi. Of all the reasons to hate a movie I'm not sure that a writer noting that Lando's sexual appetites would put Kirk to shame should be on that list at all. Han and Lando being ex's would explain so damn much of their interactions we see in ESB and RotJ anyways. -
Pretty sure it already started. It's web exclusive, so you'll need to find it at the appropriate place that deals in those. edit: Oh, I'm an idiot and parsed the question wrong. Uh, unknown given the original Hulkbuster had already sold out by this point and had a second run announced and sold out. Probably one of those sooner rather than later things though given the size and complexity.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

Just got my NT-1 Alex in today and dear lord am I in love with this thing. Bring on the Kaempfer, Hygogg, and Z'Gok-E at this quality.
-
Invisible War is going through the remaining material really briskly, and apparently skipped an entire book or two while having rolled some of the few significant elements of them into this or previously into Second Raid (like ending the Tessa/Kaname/Sousuke love triangle thing that was sort of kind of maybe happening) for the sake of it. That and I think this show is only actually a single cour? So 4 eps down, 8 or 9 remaining to get through the rest of the current book material as I understand it.
-
Those are the effects parts from the Lambda Driver version Robot Damashii Arbalest. Best equivalent would probably be using bootleg Tamashii fire effects, since those come in about the right shade of blue (among a lot of other colors) and are fairly cheap to get.
-
Seriously, the Arbalest is love.
-
Having mine in hand now this thing is amazing and wonderful. Oddly enough the one thing about it that confuses me is that the lambda driver cooling fins on the back are plastic, not metal.
-
Got my payment notice from HLJ a little earlier too. Weird that it took until now, usually they fire off payment requests first thing in the morning the day the item comes out in Japan.
-
HLJ should wake up and do their payment processing around 3-4 PM Eastern. That's been their pattern for a while, they do it first thing in the morning on the day of release. It's still 10 PM on the 20th over there at the moment, release date is the 21st.
-
They don't come with hardpoint equipped wings, so sadly that last part isn't happening without more modifications. I actually dug the parts baggie out for mine just to make sure of that because I couldn't remember for sure if they did or not. If they did I'd probably have thrown some missiles on 'em and pretended it was going Wild Weaseling or something.
-
Bummer. Still might get the 102F for my single battroid valk, a CF VF-1A but the lack of the full set of options is rather unfortunate.
-
Does anyone know if they're providing all the optional pieces with each order or are there only set configurations and you have to buy an entire other armor set for different configurations of the back booster and arm mounted components? My guess is on the latter based on the pictures on the website.

The transformation is complex when you deal with it at first, but just taking it slow and using a transformation video along with the instructions to figure out just how you're supposed to move things and position between steps makes it quite tolerable. Can have some paint chipping issues in a few precise areas due to the complexity and low clearance room of parts. But it's a transforming Draken and it looks gorgeous as a fighter and I absolutely love the gerwalk mode of it, which is the only mode I wanted it for. The Lil' Draken parts might be costly to get by now, and it definitely feels like there's something missing if you don't at least have those missile launcher packs for the legs.
