Amiami up too http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-033313&

Saw in the premium thread that Max is already up at AE so figured I'd put the link here as well. http://www.anime-export.com/product/37375

No further update after being notified that it was pushed back to 9/30. If google translate is correct it looks like Max pre-order starts tomorrow. "From 9/15 tomorrow "VF - 1 J Super Valkyrie Maximilian Ginnasse boarding machine" will start reservation at retail shops nationwide nationwide!"

I would have expected them to finish with delta squadron first before doing this repaint. But with the lack of any delta announcements, not even the VF-31C super packs, something is better than nothing I guess. At least they haven't totally given up on DX delta toys. I really need them to push these out so that I have a chance to get the 31A.
-
Yeah, mine looked like that at one point. Used Plasti-Weld and it worked but in the end didn't solve the overall problem. It just started developing cracking in other areas. I would then fix those just to have others develop. In the end it crumbled to the point that it could no longer be glued. It's like plugging a dam. You can slow it down but eventually you'll be left with nothing but rubble. Best to either leave it permanently in fighter or replace them with shapeways parts.

Also got my HLJ payment request. I have always been able to get pre-orders in the past but was only able to order this today. Weird feeling to place a Macross order then pay for it to be shipped the same day.
-
If the only thing released for HMR were the VF-1's it would be no contest. Yamacadia would win hands down (for me it is better in every way) and I'd never own an HMR. The problem for my wallet is that the VF-1 isn't the only thing in the HMR line. We already have multiple things that were never made for the 1/60 line. If it continues to sell well we may get things that have never been made in any scale. That's too much good stuff to pass up so I've just resigned myself to collecting two lines.

Oh man, the news about a TV SDF-1 has got me drooling. The fact that they are seeking copyright approval means that, as a company, they already intend to make it. It's not just the toy designers wish list item. Please please please get the green light on that copyright approval.
-
Glad this was readily available today. Finally got one at HLJ. Maybe not as good as NY's original price but still less than retail. More than happy to pay that to get it.
-
Sunnofa... missed it again. The CDJ proxy is still there but I'm going to roll the dice and hope one of the regular retailers opens back up again or gets release day stock.
-
step away from the internet for a few days to enjoy my holiday weekend and come back only to find out that I missed out on the 31C again. Man I hope there are more of these at release.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Love those picks. Very nice job with the subtle panel lining. Just dark enough to break up all the white but not so dark that it becomes a distraction. -
Wonder what the cause of the delay is. Arcadia should be masters at producing these re-issues by now. They didn't even pick a definitive date, just the arbitrary last day of the month (which happens to be a Saturday). Hopefully we'll get a more accurate release date next week.
-
Hopefully the lack of any additional VF-31C pre-order windows and any new Delta announcements doesn't mean that Bandai has moved on to better selling products. The show may have been a big disappointment but I do like the designs. Maybe they are just waiting for the movies to help drive interest back up, but after 9/9 there won't be a new valk in the pipeline for the first time in I don't remember how long (maybe ever?).
-
They didn't ask for anything additional from me. I chose EMS though so hopefully, for me anyway, it's because you had a different delivery method.

Pretty freakin' sweet; both your squadron and the Yeti stands for giving so many posing options. -
I'm wondering if they are even going to have any more delta releases after the VF-31C. There haven't been any reveals or announcements in a long time. I would have expected something well before the VF-31C release to keep the hype train going. Yet here we are a month away from that and nothing. It would be hard for me to imagine them not milking the delta/171 molds as much as they can, it is Bandai afterall, but I just don't get their game plan with these. I need them to get through delta squadron before I can even have a chance at a VF-31A. And with the seemingly poor sales of the SV-262 it seems that the chances of a Roid version are slipping away.

Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01
Boobytrap replied to Valkyrie Hunter D's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Can't believe I missed this thread until now. Major nostalgia bombs going off. Would absolutely love a chance to own a MADOX. I haven't watched it in probably 20 years but I can still hear the japanese actors pronunciation of "ma DOX" in my head. -
Practicality and rationality when it comes to your hobbies is for losers. Give in to your feelings. You've taken your first step into a larger world.

It was mentioned in Arcadia's blog about the PF SDF-1. Not to say they won't do for anything else but it is also no indication that they will.
-
News to me. I ordered from NY though and haven't heard anything from them. They still list it as August.
-
Yes, yes you should. These and the regults are why I started collecting this line and I don't regret it one bit. My wallet might disagree but I just tell it to shut up and take it.
-
Woo hoo. Keep bringing it Bandai and I'll keep shelling out my money to you.
-
Ordered at HLJ. Cancelled then ordered at NY. Too much of a price difference to not do it. This thing is expensive but it's not like I plan on having a fleet of them. I'll manage the expense for a one time treat (two times if they ever release the SDFM version). I know that if I purchased the standard version I'd always be looking at the premium wishing I had paid the extra $$$'s. I also much prefer the release date on this vs the standard version. I'll be getting my tax return and bonus from work when the payment for the premium is due. Standard is coming out during the holiday season when money is more tight.

Got my defender today. Yet another home run from Bandai. Solid joints. Nice heft for the size. Pretty good articulation. I like how the cannons can be pulled out from the shoulders for wider angles. The hip vents get the way some if you try to put it into any super dynamic action poses but it's not like this was ever meant to do that anyway. I didn't realize that it came with two different types of ammo canisters so that was a nice surprise. My only nit is that the cannon tips have some uneven flashing. Wish they would have sanded that down but its easy enough for me to do. Can't wait to finally have a completed destroid lineup. Bring on the tomahawk and phalanx!
