    Not with this release, and not with any of the sellers that I've seen listed here. To be fair, I've also had at least one good experience with MyKombini as well, but I certainly put them on my no-go list since the 31A nonsense that they pulled. And along with everyone that's said as much, agreed about how helpful a great many of these posts have been, it's stuff like that makes me really appreciate this community. -b.

    Ordered from Loopaza before, their price after shipping is comparable to N-Y. I will say that they are the only place that delivered the only 31A out of the 3 that I ordered during that particular fiasco. MyKombini being the party that cancelled my other preorder and then relisted at a higher price (after I paid them in full). -b.

    Interesting pose... Has the release date for the Premium Elint been confirmed by Arcadia to be 04/30? -b.
  4. Kanedas Bike
    Thank you! Going to need all the luck I can get -b.

    Especially from N-Y Max is my favorite character, and if release day come and I still haven't gotten a copy, then I'll begrudgingly pay a markup, but not 1 day after preorders opened. -b.

    N-Y just relisted Max at 27,500 with payment due immediately -b. ^edit, what he said

    Don't read anything into it, I've been stalking the SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 85 on HLJ and the purchase limit flips from 20 to 1 arbitrarily as well. Was pretty salty that I got cart jacked at literally every place I had it in my cart, HS, AmiAmi, HLJ, and CDJ. I grabbed an hour of sleep between like 5 and 6 and ended up missing the Amazon (was that direct Amazon or a vendor?) orders as well. Classic case of can't win for losing. But a few hours later and some perspective I'm not as angry as I was this morning. After all, it is just a toy... -b.

    Thanks guys. All I can say is... Crap, hope that doesn't hurt your chances. And LOL at the "Marketplace" jerks on Amazon having their own little reverse bidding war. It's down to 32,970 JPY now -b.
  9. Kanedas Bike
    So what's the story with N-Y and their ticket entry thingy? Did anyone get a Max there or are people waiting... -b.
  10. Kanedas Bike
    Of which they will blame on Bandai. -b.
  11. Kanedas Bike
    same and similar failure at CDJ, AmiAmi and HS secured N A D D A -b.
  12. Kanedas Bike
    totally agreed -b.

    A million times this, I don't want to knock the HMR and the inherent benefits of a smaller size and less expensive price point, but for me they're not fun to play with. So a DX 21 and 11 would make me very happy. -b.

    Very cool, looking forward to see what comes out. I have to imagine that the marketing blitz will start soon - perhaps around the time Avengers: Endgame his theaters. Maybe I'm just not as passionate about SW as others. I loved it for what it was when I was a kid and I carry that same interest into adulthood. As an example I never was a huge fan of the Return of the Jedi (looking at you Ewoks) but even now I don't have the inclination to poo-poo the movie. I really enjoyed TFA, but the one part I absolutely did not like was Han's death. And I get why TLJ is so divisive, but I think Rian took some pretty cool chances expanding on existing mythos. And make no mistake, everyone's entitled to their thoughts and opinions, I just hate wading thru the "Dark Side" of these threads. So I actually do peak my head in every now and again, and I agree. I guess this stuff is just symptomatic of two extremely over-passionate fan bases. -b.

    Hi-Metal R

    Thanks! Really tried to skip this release, but I figured I may as well take the leap. Especially since aftermarket prices are likely to spike at some point. -b.

    So has there been an actual trailer, or non-fan made poster or anything at all worthy of the constant negativity? You guys could literally darken the sun with your consistent dark cloud of doom you bring in here. You don't like The Force Awakens after you saw it, fine. You don't like The Last Jedi after you saw it, also fine. But damn this movie has literally nothing but a few photos on set and yet you bring the same "I hate everything" into this thread. How about you go resurrect the respective threads for TFA and TLJ if you want to bitch about the Directors, Writers, Actors, Scripts and physics of a fictional work of art? It's exhausting trying to find even a single positive, or constructive comment... -b.

    This subject always fascinated me, because I also have a Son. Much older than all of your kids, and actually now older than I was when I had him (he's soon to be 22). That said I think I traumatized him when he was 3 and had somehow gotten to my old Yamato YF-19, after he got into trouble for handling Dad's toy he never really had the same interest. Or maybe that's just my own guilt talking. He enjoyed toys well enough until he was about 5 and then he was all about being outdoors, sports, bikes, skateboards, soccer, street-hockey any and everything that had to do with being outside. As a matter of fact, all of the traditional toys like Transformers, old Marvel Legends, etc. often when unopened and not played with. But like it's been said, our little ones will form their own interests, hopefully it's just something "cool", as defined by the child, that can be shared between them and their parents. -b.

    This and only this. It's hard to keep from injecting my .02 into the other side of the debate, but the bottom line is he is a huge-gigantic-integral part of what makes GoTG so damn good. -b.
  19. Kanedas Bike
    Good! -b.

    IIRC the time they could not deliver on all orders was the Metal Build Strike. I've used Entertainment Earth a few times and never had any issues, but of course everyone's mileage may vary. But my new philosophy on undelivered preorders is that it's more money in my pocket. If the manufacturer doesn't supply to meet demand it's not my fault. I'll save my money or buy something else. -b.

    Saw it twice. First time, I liked it. Second time, I loved it. And I loved the swagger that Brie Larson brought to the character, it made perfect sense in the context of the character and what she's always had to overcome. -b.
  22. Kanedas Bike
    Thanks! Agreed, was late to the party every time someone posted a link. lol -b.

    Thought about it, but noopppe. I'll pay the extra for peace of mind. Don't necessarily want the Zaku, but wouldn't mind having one to pair up with the RX-78-02. -b.

    Ended up with the Re:Package version awhile ago based on very large part the feedback I got here on the Forums. I love it, the only flaw being how annoying the shield was to connect and stay connected, otherwise it's an amazing figure. Red eyes and all I actually missed the original 2 AM eastern pre-order window and got a copy from N-Y around 3 AM. And yellow eyes and new markings are great because it better matches the appearance in Ready Player One. -b.
  25. Kanedas Bike
    Even with the insanely expensive EMS shipping I'm beyond surprised the preorder for the RX-78-02 is still open, or rather currently open at a pretty low price. -b.
