Wonder Woman, in theaters Summer 2017
mechaninac replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Past performance may not be an absolute indicator of future results, but DC-WB's record with DCEU movies thus far point to mediocrity at best; so, yeah... not expecting much despite the solid trailers. I do hope WW breaks the mold and will be pleasantly surprised if it does, but deeply doubt that it will. -
If Bandai ever delves into VOTOMS within their H-M R line I'll be in so much financial trouble...
-
^Maybe a SV-262Ba for May? Or perhaps, the only DX for May will be the previously scheduled Super Parts Set for the VF-31J, and Bandai are taking a break from any other releases that month... I sure as heck could use a breather.
-
... and there are these guys
-
Pugnacious is an even more appropriate adjective where HG is concerned...
-
I don't see any quantity restrictions in the item's page, so...
-
^ What are the guys at N-Y smoking?...
-
Toy quality notwithstanding, the VF-171 is akin to a graceful dancer, while the VF-17 is more of a sumo wrestler -- one elegant, and the other a brute, and both awesome.
-
^ Nippon Yasan is probably your best bet. There's also Big in Japan, although they're not as comprehensive in what they carry, and their prices tend to be higher some times. And finaly, there are proxy services.

I can't help but have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, I rather they didn't go there, and on the other I would be ecstatic if they did; while I have no interest whatsoever in getting Delta figures other than select DX mecha, I'd be all over SDFM, DYRL, M+, MF, and even M0 Figuarts action figures... so, I can save a bundle if MD ( M7 too) is all they release.
-
Bandai's Alto Saotome with EX-Gear was the first and only contemporary Macross articulated action figure, if I'm not mistaken.
-
That utterly sucks. I've had packages delivered to the wrong house a couple of times... like having the online tracking show the parcel as left by the front door, only to arrive home and having nothing there, and seeing it sitting on the next door neighbors' front steps; that is annoying/heart stopping enough, but having some low-life punck just take the box right off your front door... Definitely try to file a claim; that's what shipping insurance is for.

Members 2-99: What the...?!!!... Sonavabi...!!!... Missed it again!!!
-
Wow! That's brilliant. Come on Bandai, get busy creating a Hi-Metal R version of this... STAT! And Hasegawa, Wave, what are you sitting on your hands for? 1/72 kits... please...
-
The sculpt on the Tomahawk looks righteous, but, maybe due to lighting, its color looks purple... and that is just -- wrong!
-
Wow! The anticipation to watch this series is killing me... And isn't that overloaded with box missiles fighter-bomber at 0:41-0:42 somewhat reminiscent of Yamato-Rebith's Cosmo Pulsar?... I like it... want a 1/72 plamo of it.

HLJ for the win on the 1/1000 Andromeda: Lowest price + cheapest shipping costs + drama-free cancellation if necessary.
-
Perhaps Andromeda and her subsequent sister ships consumed almost all available budget?...
-
It's marked in USD and they accept PayPal. Assuming you're in the USA, you have the option of using PayPal Credit which, for anything over 99 USD, automatically gives you 6 months to pay, interest free. So, even if Yellow Sub does not offer pay later, and I have no idea if they do or do not, PayPal does give you the option because it's invoiced in USD.

Saw the FigInStock alert email and clicked on the link like I'd done before, but this time I was able to get an order in... and confirmation email received. I knew that if I waited long enough my patience would be rewarded. N-Y can sit on their 25k yen stock until they burn a whole in their warehouse for all I care. Edit: Of course, now I have a compelling reason to preorder the Super Parts Set... and the money drain goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... Edit 2: And it's still available, albeit low stock now.

Yikes!

General TV & Streaming series thread
mechaninac replied to Tking22's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yes. One of the best things to come out on basic cable in a very long time; epic, expansive, and intimate all in one. Another noteworthy show, of an entirely different genre, is The Expanse... not quite on the same league as Vikings, but fantastic in its own right. -
Once it's all said and done, N-Y price ( 6770 yen w/ECO Sal shipping) will be within a hair's breadth of HLJ's final cost. Much like the VF-1A CF, this may end up getting discounted to a certain degree some time after release; I'll wait until then to determine if I'll spring for a second one.
-
No, I've never purchased from them, preorder or otherwise. They've been mentioned on this Forum before and I had them bookmarked; I checked and saw they still have the 31F available for 21600 yen + shipping (their shipping quote calculator doesn't work at all, at least not for me). I already secured a copy with HLJ, so I don't need to try these guys, but I figured someone may want to take a chance... some brave/desperate soul may wish to volunteer as the guinea-pig in vetting hTp as future go-to e-tailer... once upon a time, N-Y was an unknown quantity too.
