Sooooo... wait until it's out on Bluray so that I can adjust the volume to my tolerance level. I remember going to a screening of Rogue One and sitting through a trailer for Logan that was so loud it was nausea-headache inducing painful, as in 'I was surprised my ears didn't bleed afterwards' painful.

^ Meh! I found a very simple solution to my dislike of the Messer liveried VF-1S: I just didn't buy one...
-
^ Give them time; I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Bandai goes ... and we all go

Yep! It finally did work... fantastically so. Pre-ordered a DX Kairos for a total shipped price of $228.72 from you_sun*japan, and since the amount was billed in USD I was able to select PayPal Credit which means I can delay payment, interest free, for six months or make small payments at my discretion until then. I've never pre-ordered anything on eBay, but the seller seems legit and eBay covers you in case something goes Tango Uniform. Thank you F360 for originally posting the Promo Code. The members of this community are awesome.

I don't know why but that coupon code refuses to work with me. I tried it for a DX VF-31A and an Orguss II, even a Figma, and I was shot down with a " This code can't be applied to your order." every single time whether I logged into PayPal or not... oh well, I'll try again tomorrow but I don't expect it to make any difference.

It's the Tamashii Web-store Exclusive nature of this release that makes it a pay upfront affair. N-Y, for example, offers a pay later option on every non-exclusive pre-order they sell.
-
O heck! This is a must have (2 copies if I can swing it... but pay upfront makes that a bit harder to pull off). As others have stated, this has been a wallet hemorrhaging year, with more bloodletting yet to come.
-
I just received an email notification from N-Y that Millia's release date has been changed again, pushed to 10-31-2017. This makes it what, 3 times this thing has been delayed by Arcadia already?...

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

You can get it directly from Eaglemoss ( https://shop.eaglemoss.com/usa/star-trek-starships/uss-enterprise-ncc-1701-d-85-inch-oversized-edition ). It's in Stock, and discounted too. -
Cunning, isn't it?...

3 - 3.5 weeks is to be expected. If your package hasn't arrived after 5 weeks, then you start to wonder... 6+ and you worry.

Much like Blockbuster killed the local Mom and Pop Video rental joints to then be killed in turn by Netflix and Redbox, so too Toys-R-Us decimated small/regional toy stores like Toy Works and K-B Toys; it may now be their turn to fade into the ash-heap as they're out-competed by Amazon and eBay... if they can reorganize into a more nimble enterprise that offers true value to their customers they may yet come out of this situation stronger and more competitive, and if not they'll go the way of Borders and Circuit City.

Thanks for the heads-up.

The Sun, the air, and chemical breakdown all take their turn at taking a rascally whiz on some Yamato VF-1s...
-
The only reason, and a tenuous one at that, to use N-Y's USD price is to be able to use PayPal Credit for your purchase so you can take advantage of the 6 months interest free payback option, as long as your total is more than $100.00... and lets face it, most of the stuff we buy related to this hobby ends up blowing right past that amount.

The following dimensions were taken off a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A: Wing Trailing Edge: 3 1/4" (82.55mm) Chest Width: 3 3/4 " (95.55mm) Lower Leg: 4 1/4" (107.95mm) Cockpit Section: 5" (127.00mm) Cheers!

I'm still waiting for a payment request from Amiami; however, I did order a 31C in tandem with another item they had listed as preorder, so I guess I'll have wait some more until that second item is in stock before my invoice is submitted... good thing I'm in no hurry.
-
I don't know about replacements (someone would have to model the parts in 3D and upload them to Shapeways), but they look repairable with the use of a plastic welder formulated for ABS... look for anything containing methylene chloride.
-
As far as processing orders and getting them out the door, in my experience Amiami has the fastest turnaround, most of the time. HLJ and N-Y can be fairly slow, specially N-Y. Of course, once it ships it's in the shipping company's hands and subject to all sorts of extraneous factors... specially if SAL is the method chosen. Customer service wise, HLJ is the best in the business. Edit: Lolicon beat me to it...

^ IKR? Preorder day presents you with sleepless anticipation followed by either blissful accomplishment, or infuriating frustration. This was far more stress free and enjoyable.
-
Saw the Figinstock email and, lo and behold, Amiami's listing was still up. Since I missed the slightly less expensive HLJ reopen from a couple of days back I decided to bite the bullet and place my order with Amiami this time... hopefully shipping will be a bit cheaper to make up the difference, since they don't corral you into EMS or FedEX the way HLJ does. At least now I have a copy secured, and a single copy is all I was looking for anyway.
