Slave IV

Nooooooo! No subscriptions! Sweet!

Yeah, the Regult pods have to come with Regults or it will totally suck. As for the 2SS, I don't care about it but at this point, I'm all in on any HMR Macross release. Much cheaper to collect these than 1/60 versions so I'm hoping they rerelease the Macross 7 figures and do them all as well...plus SHF figures so I can finally have my Sivil!

Nice Transformers collection and cabinets!

The only items I've seen that require instant payment are exclusive items like any of the Tamashii exclusives. Everything else I've bought from NY gives you the option to pay once the item is in stock. Anime Export requires instant payment on everything, which is why I avoid buying things from them other than in stock items.

Oh man, I need that Mazinger! Just so expensive!

I got the same delayed message from NY but I don't care because I won't pay for mine until it's ready to ship and they ask me to pay. Either way, I have my gripes about NY but I've never been concerned about not getting something I ordered from them, especially if I already paid for it.

The Armored 1A will be a nice consolation since I missed the 1J.

Argh, that is a bit cheaper than I got the 1A for at Mykombini...Oh well, lesson learned and I'm hopefully not going to order from those guys again.

Ok, that makes more sense.

I don't get why you say the clamp doesn't need to secure the Valk and why the bottom stand is needed when your example shows the Valk secured from the top clamp and nothing on the bottom...what am I missing?

Fair enough...Although, looking at my set, I don't think they were too accurate with the scaling. I'll try them out sometime.

Buildings come in different sizes...

Cool! I got nothing against you or anyone else here...I found this forum to be extremely pleasant until all the recent bickering so just trying to clarify what's what and move on. My amiami 1A has not arrived either...

Yeah, that's the part I did find funny since SOC's are more expensive and you mention stuff about other people being rich and you not being able to afford... Anyways, I didn't know there was a seniority thing around here or any other forum to be able to participate in a conversation. Like I said, I don't care either way and agree that all this stuff is too expensive. I usually just ignore the stuff I don't want to pay for or make a couple posts about why I'm passing but you do you, it's all good. HMR line was a complete pass for me based on the reviews of the Valks but once I saw the Regult and other mechs, I was all in based on the unparralled display options they offer as a complete line. I really shouldn't be paying this kind of money for them but hey, I like Macross enough to sacrifice other wants for them.

I don't care either way but more evidence: OK, now that we've established one poster's preference is SOC over Macross and heard about his lower enthusiasm for the HMR line, let's move along! I really hope those Regult variants are not add on packs and full figures...I'm guessing one of those or the Spartan will be announced next.

Wow! Nice!

I'm just going to use my Monsterarts effects for the buildings and call it a day. If they make specific Macross ones, cool but I'd rather have more missiles and spaceship diorama type effects.

Yeah, I have clear arm pieces so even if it doesn't come with them, I'm covered. As for the overall look, anything can be improved and this version looks good enough to me. I definitely wouldn't mind if it was improved for actual release. But as it stands I'd buy what they have shown as is.

That stand looks like golly gee, whopity doo goodness. I would like to have one in my collection. Yeti stands are the best general stands out there, imo but this is not just a stand, it's basically another toy to me.

Yeah, I've been hoping for this to come out since I saw it. I don't care about the extra arms, all stands have arms and this one looks awesome. I'd just replace the bottom arm with a clear one anyway. And effect parts preordered! Yeah, they are overpriced but so is everything. I specifically asked for these and got them so there was no doubt I would buy.

Oh crap! They really did just read some posts here and said, oh you want that? Here you go! OK, now make the GPB kit and ruin me since I wasn't convinced yet to buying in on the line when that came out. Edit: Also need attachments for the booster pack missiles... So, this is a Tamashii exclusive, meaning it will be available at NY/AE with no pre-order madness?

Haha, I don't get it either...seems like Bandai is loving the money they are making from Macross and that usually just means more milking! Hook me up, I'm ready to be milked! Hmmm...eww but

Oh yeah, the figures included make that a really good deal. That le mans car is beautiful by the way.

Nooooo! I always assumed variants like the missile and scout pods would be full figures, not add ons. The only reason I didn't buy more regular Regults. If they come as add on parts, I'm SCREWED!

I've seen similar for less than $200...Here, for example. Edit: Oh, and here for the same version and yeah, several as in a few hundred...
