Did you use a Dremel tool to do that? How much did you shave out?
-
As will I! Thank YOU for the heads up!
-
I bit the bullet and bought the VF-1A at the inflated price at NY, let's see how quickly this gets shipped out now...
-
I think at this point, the Legioss is not coming out this year. Which I am OK with, end of the year is going to break me with SOC's, a Hot Toys preorder, Blowsupirior (we know this will be delayed from it's August release) and 2 DX Chogokin Valks. Better for me financially if the Legioss is an early 2020 release.
-
From your lips to the Toy Gods ears. Amen.

Got my missile set in Saturday from NY. Still haven't tried to add them to the VF-1J yet. Later this week... I decided to go ahead and pay for 1 strike set at NY for now. Going to hold off on pre-ordering either the Max or Hikaru upcoming valks. I'll take my chances release day for those guys.
-
Doesn't matter, as long as we know there will be another run and chance.
-
Halleluiah !
-
Gah! Now it's selling out? I suppose I best not wait till next payday to make a decision...
-
Ironically, already got that one and the Miria premium finish

Little did I realize Bandai would force me to do some soul searching… over preordering toys. A few years back I had to sell my entire collection before moving to the west coast, only got back into collecting the last couple of years. What has been fantastic is that much of what I had sold has been reissued (Arcadia's SDF-1 as an example) and often with improvements or remade better than previously done (Masterpiece Optimus Prime). I had begun to recollect Valkyries obviously as well. When Bandai announced they where doing the new 1/48th scale series I was overjoyed. A chance to rebuild the collection bigger and better than before. But with the way Bandai has been handling these preorders has been a nightmare. And now I have to decide how many I am getting from DYRL now to buys strike parts... UGH. Can't help but wonder would I be better off buying used Yamato and Arcadia releases instead? Bandai, why you make this so hard?

Thanks to a heads-up from a fellow collector pre-order secured at Amazon.com directly from Blufin.
-
Got my ship notice tonight for it.
-
Got my ship notice for my missile set from NY. I
-
Good to know about NY, thanks guys. I'll think it over till next pay period, may just pull the trigger then on these guys then if still up. I don ;t mind waiting as long as I know one will end up my way.
-
No, just 1 set towards the end of the pre-order window BUT it was in the window .
-
I was going to bite the bullet and buy both the Max 1A and the VF-1S at the inflated markup on NY but I am still waiting on my missile order set to ship... is that normal for them? PO madness with Max convinced me not to stay up for the VF-1S, but I did wake up at midnight and check my phone and I could see it was all going to crap so I stayed in bed and roiled over. So now, I may skip buying at NY as I would be worried they are taking orders they will not be able to fulfill. Then I would have a ridiculous store credit I'm stuck spending at their store... Hoping to grab one release day from of the other usual suspects. Congrats to those who did score one!

I have spoken with the guys Tamashii Nation who run the US distribution side of things and they have said (more than once) they would love to bring Macross stateside as they know there is a huge following here but can't because of the BW/HG stuff. When that ends, I would very much expect Macross product to start coming stateside.
-
Bandai will not sell any Macross product to a US retailer due to the licensing issues.
-
Damn, the first time in years I have not been able to score a Macross preorder. Ever, actually, now that I think about it. Very disappointed. Here's hoping I can score one release day.
-
Graham, Is it possible to rotate the gun booms out while in Cruiser mode? Similar to the first episode of the TV show?
-
Great review Graham. Looks like it's everything I had hoped it would be. Looking forward to getting mine.
-
Yeah this is always the case for me. So either are stuff is sitting on the Customs tarmac or the plane went down and no one has gotten around to telling us yet. Even with the holiday's packages should be showing in Customs at the very least by now.
-
Yeah as of New Years Eve I am still waiting for my EMS package from Hong Kong (with the Macross Quarter in it.) That left their soil on December 23rd. Glad it's not just me. Hopefully next week.
-
Thanks. Your right it looks like I got Toynami'ed. I'll be sure to mention it in the written review. Thanks guys.
