Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Slave IV replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Haha yeah, it is insane! While I consider Macross my main focus right now, Star Wars has been a consistently amassing collection for me since the late 70's. I'm pretty sure I have more Star Wars than anything. Marvel and other superhero things are big with me too but they haven't been getting really great toys until fairly recently considering how long they've been around. Which leads to my comic collection that actually could put the rest of my collection combined to shame. -

Got my Sail Barge book that comes before the actual toy next year: Finally got a decent Ultron that looks formidable with other Marvel villains...been wanting this for years and finally found it for $2.50 And I got my OG Mechagodzilla to add to the crew
-
YF-19 wars huh? Interesting.
-
Haha yeah. I bet it depends on where you hold it for balance too. Anyways, they make, I'll buy.
-
Once again, ME overthinking and overanalyzing. You guys see the support arm underneath the Valk right?
-
Oh nice!

"a copy"? That's probably his 10th one at least? -
Yeah, all those stands would be instabuy. They need to make sure storage compartments are integrated too.

There are basic, non Macross branded ones that are clear, black and other colors. The ones posted above are Tamashii Stage Act 5, which are designed for small to medium mecha toys. There are other configurations like the Trident and Combination that are designed to hold several figures together. You can get them at most the same Japanese shops you buy the toys from but they come out at certain times and usually sell out but get reissued from time to time and are pretty easy to find. Amazon usually has them, eBay and most toy specialty shops will have them. They are usually cheapest when you preorder during reissue times, especially for clear stands since they are the most popular for good reason. You can often find the other colors on clearance pretty much anytime.

Limiting supply and having your products sell out is better than making too much and not selling out. Anyways, there are tons of factors including all the thousands of other items Bandai makes that come into play. I think we are lucky to even be able to buy what we do considering it's technically not even legal for anyone to sell Macross products outside of Japan. Maybe once that changes and the market for Macross widens, companies can allocate more resources to make them more widely available.

Lol!

Haha, yeah. Not sure I'd even spend a coupon on it, lol. But I have been eying it and the 3.75" Enchantress set on clearance everywhere. -
I think it's safe to assume the parts will be TWE again if they come so at least you won't have to worry about getting the order in during a preorder madness rush.
-
I love it!
-
Well, I would and did get the Messer Super Parts and I think Bandai will make 31A specific parts and I will get those too. What you should do depends but if you want the best deal, probably safe to wait and see what new items come and get the preorder deal before paying a premium for already released ones.
-
Congrats to all who got what they wanted! I feel like this needs to be on every page or at least every few
-
I thought Mirage's 31C was pretty popular on preorder night. Thinking the super parts will be too especially with the inclusion of the reaction missiles.
-
I think it's reasonable to think Bandai will find any and all ways to rape our wallets with new Macross figures. I welcome and thank them for it.
-
Most places limited to 1 right?

Ah, you must be new to NY preorder madness. While the site did go down, so did several others so it's not fair to single out NY and bash them for that. As for the rest you mentioned, that is normal for them. They seem to to use a manual upload system where every item goes up one at a time in stages. The first sign of an item is it being listed with no pic and when you click, you get an error. This happens for a few mins before a pic appears and you finally are able to start the order process. Because of this process, it takes longer for items to show up on NY compared to shops that batch upload all the items at once.
-
Yep! Bandai hit me with a big boy triple threat tonight! I got all three, only missed the NY deal for the MB but not too bad. Yep, I went for ferry. Always gotta save those extra bucks for the next preorders! Luckily, I have the day off. Good show tonight!
-
NY back, going for the GX-60R!
-
Oh yeah! NY cheaper with shipping than the others without again! Now, I need a God Sigma from them!
-
They've done it before...because it it limit 1 and they think you are trying to take advantage of them. Many people have reported that their accounts were locked because of doing that and other things. I accidentally ordered 2 of a limit 1 before and they just cancelled the 2nd order on me.
