  1. Only one official TWE shop, and that's P-bandai. Anywhere else is a proxy/grey market seller. NY, Anime Export, mykonbini, are all unofficial proxy sellers. The only times that P-bandai items are available otherwise is when they get a normal retail release (like, for instance, PG Red Frame Kai which was a US retail release, and available from several retailers through Bluefin distribution channels).
  2. I will absolutely be using in fighter mode, both for aesthetic and structural reasons.
  3. Absolutely, They usually charge ¥500 extra, plus the increased shipping charges.
  4. No, not bad. Doesn't include domestic or international shipping though, nor the ¥700 service fee (or ¥300 if you want basic).
  5. Well, there goes $465. 2 for me, and one for a friend (who is a heavyarms fan). Decided to put in my order with FromJapan ahead of time, save the hassle.
  6. Tag hobby also reporting the 10th: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/354167
  7. Pretty sure that a lot of the string references are just broken and pulling in blanks at the moment, rather than an intentional change.
  8. The Zaku is pretty tempting, but I'll be skipping both these.
  9. Also seems to affect reply popups at the bottom of screen, just showed the user's avatar and no text.
  10. I brought one back on the plane with me from Akihabara, and I can believe them selling it for $30. I have HGs that look better. It was so promising until I put the armor on, too.
  11. Thanks for the update, shouldn't be too hard to paint anyway.
  12. I figured that was referring to the figure rather than the ship.
  13. Just wondering, anyone know if the ship is painted, or (as I am assuming) unpainted?
  14. You can only get TWE items through proxies, or normal shops acting as proxies. NY was not the worst of those "normal shops", that would be My Konbini that cancelled pre-orders and then re-listed the 31a at a higher price.
  15. These might work: https://www.shapeways.com/product/AARYR8L25/vf-1-valkyrie-x15-fud?optionId=64688380&li=marketplace 1/1250 scale, so only about 2.5x the size they ought to be. I'd suggest going for the "fine detail plastic". Edit: Here's some Monsters: https://www.shapeways.com/product/6UM2EREKW/1-3000-space-battle-robotsx4?optionId=64870454&li=marketplace
  16. They didn't up it last time, so yeah saving $150+ on shipping is a great deal for anyone who wants it.
  17. Uh, a bunch of the proxy sellers had issues, even my ebay seller didn't manage to get stock for several months. NY was not alone in that, they just happened to have really bad communication while still keeping the orders open. Most other places communicated better or cancelled the orders.
  18. The GFFMC Wing Zero is pretty amazing looking, and quite poseable. Just be careful with the stand attachment part, one of them is a bit wobbly on mine.
  19. Probably because it means no pre-order madness. Aside from the 31a fiasco, you might pay more but at least you'll get what you're looking for.
  20. I was thinking more like Street Fighter personally.
  21. Well, they got me for 4 more BSG ships. Viper II, Cylon Raider, Galactica (classic) and the base star.
  22. I blame that stupid moe anthropomorphism series where the girls were guns. One of them had big "guns", with the explanation being the gun had a large forearm (the bit of the stock under/around the barrel). I was very bored that season, I swear only reason I watched it.
  23. I wonder if there's a reverse Tenso? You could probably find someone to cross-ship one, but that additional shipping fee might sting.
