I don't know about the price dropping even after more stock comes out. I was just looking at TWE Missile Regult prices and they are pretty astronomical. Regular Regult prices too. People are already shelling out $400 and it's barely out yet. It's gonna be major bank by the end of the year.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Slave IV replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Nice score on the #1!!! Also, good idea using the AIM-54 with the VF-104! I just ordered a VF-104 myself and a bit bothered it doesn't come with the Phoenix's, accuracy or not. Needless to say, another Calibre Wings purchase is probably in my future, which is what I didn't want and they surely do want. I don't have a 0A myself and the horror stories are a big reason for that. The 0S is fantastic and I also have the PF on order. I suspect, the 0A and 0D will also get PF treatment someday as well as the improvements from the 0S so I'll just wait until then to add those to my collection. -

How are the hips holding together? -
Lol! Except Macross will live on forever and be remembered Hope so. Based on talking to friends, there seems to be a lot more interest and excitement for the SO.

@Shizuka the Cat there is a reason why most Macross collectors keep recommending the Arcadia VF-0S to you. Once you get one in your hands, it will all make sense and I hope that happens for you while you can get one at discounted retail still. I know you'll do the right thing. -
Excellent! Hopefully it won't be a sad April Fools night for any of us trying to preorder this.
-
Ah, gotcha! Thanks!

Does the 31A not come in a brown TWE box? Just noticing people's pictures and don't recall seeing the box. Doesn't matter to me, just curious.

Post pics! Not for me, I'm happily married. -
Yep...Its pretty easy to explain most things that might not make sense on the surface to a niche group when you apply the fact that the primary purpose of business is to make money. That being said, these TWEs still confuse me. Unless stores are getting a preorder limit for regular releases and then get more stock when the item comes out, it's highly possible that many TWE releases have higher production runs than regular releases. You can't tell me that items that sell out in seconds have larger production runs than similar items that keep sales open for months unless those regular releases are getting more than just preorder stock.

I'm going to guess that Walkure concert ticket and album sales bring in more revenue than Delta Valk sales. If true, it would explain a lot of things.

Haha nice! The side roll from Battroid to Gerwalk by Max was G! -
Excellent! So, you can just forward them to me?
-
The playmax figures are smaller, about half the size at around 9cm.
-
I'll take the remaining Destroid and Zentrad mechs but I'm going to guess another VF-2SS will be the next HMR Macross release. Best thing about this game is doesn't matter who wins or loses, when a new one comes, we all win!
-
Anime Export is another one and I think they have shipped out already.
-
This is true! Make sure to post the time you ordered so we can make a graph based on the time between @orindlt 's first order and yours so people can use it to determine exactly when they should expect their orders to ship!
-
Interesting but just going to point out that because they did yours in order doesn't mean anything other then it happened that way for you. Need more data to make a reasonable conclusion. At least people are getting their beloved 31As!

Haha, I kinda didn't want it but seeing the recent posts about them made me want one again. Then I forgot to buy one during the last sale and told myself I wouldn't buy it unless I could get the same deal (thinking it wouldn't happen anytime soon). And here I am with one soon to be delivered. Oh well, i love F-14s and don't have time to build them (models) like I used to. Seems really nice. Also got me thinking when I saw that custom VF-1 with the Jolly Roger paint job and AIM-54 missiles on the wings...Did the VF-1s have some sort of swivel tech on the hardpoints to adjust the angle whenever the wings were swept to different angles? It's something I've thought about before but don't know if a definitive answer exists or is it just an artistic license thing? -

Thank you very much! Or in other works, I hate you guys for giving me the extra push and enabling me to buy that Calibre Wings F-14! -

Whenever possible, I keep everything including the boxes. I still have the original boxes for most of my vintage Transformers and other toys as a kid. Another reason why my life is surrounded by piles and piles of boxes within boxes. -
I get that! As for getting hit by a bus...I have no regrets. Enjoyed what I have in life thoroughly. But since you bring it up, I would be curious about how my family's reaction to getting continual shipments of all kinds of toys months after my departure would be.

I think the world collectively broke Mandarake by continually refreshing frantically in hopes to nab a 31A!
-
That's what I'm talking about! As for the fear of not getting one at all...that is REAL! I nearly flipped my lid when I saw that I missed the preorder opening at NY. Luckily, people pointed out other options even though they are more expensive. I got one shipping notice today so at least I'm covered. Hopefully, my other order will also come through.
