  1. Those prices are beyond ridonculous... the make the Mega House Orguss Hi-Specs seem reasonably priced by comparison...
  2. The easiest "fix" is to just ignore fighter mode altogether and transform it for permanent display in battroid configuration.
  3. So, you're admitting that you're a masochist twice over... ... And Lolicon wins the "Glutton for Punishment" award.
  4. Just a quick query of anyone who got the original release Orguss through HLJ: How much did they charge for shipping, EMS and/or FedEx? N-Y, Amiami, and HobbySearch are all cheaper options upfront, but once you factor in shipping... N-Y, for example, wants 6150 yen for SAL Registered, 6800 yen for EMS.
  5. Crud! I resisted the temptation to order the original Orguss release, but Megahouse is not making it easy to keep my discipline... I still think this thing is way too overpriced, but it does look super nice.
  6. We'll just have to agree to disagree, and I'll refrain from articulating how telling it is of people who want to push what you want to push on small kids...
  7. This is a children's movie. Disney should leave any overt characterization of a character's non-traditional sexuality out of it; subtly imply it if they must so that adults get it, but stop with the in-you-face 'Heather has Two Mommies' agenda pushing nonsense. Is keeping sexualization out of kid's programming too much to ask?...

    .... and lots and lots of tape. Got my copy fro N-Y today as well; 10 days total transit time via SAL. Checked everything out and no missing parts or defects; the only thing I had to address was a loose (pulls out too easily) right hip ball socket cylinder-- just added a bit of nail polish and it's good to go.

    I refer to that backpack flap as a Thrust Deflection Plate...
  11. "A lot more details", he says... That's got to be the understatement of the day. This SDF-1, once completed, deserves to be displayed prominently in a museum.
  12. Well I'll be a monkey's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate, my YF-30 also has SWS on its left canard/shoulder panel...
  13. Amiami frowns upon cancellation requests, but it's not impossible if you ask nicely and/or make a compelling case. The thing with a back-order, though, is that it pretty much works the same as a pre-order -- you won't be charged until they have the item ready to ship. If you scroll down on the item's page you will see the following: About Back-order Items This item is back-ordered from the wholesaler and will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks before it is ready to be shipped. Please understand that in some rare cases we may not be able to source your item if it is sold out at our distributors.
  14. Amiami has it listed as a Back-order item and at the regular "16%" discount (31,200 JPY), which means you can place an order and see if they'll be able to fulfill it.
  15. That head looks goofier and far less appealing in physical form than it does in its anime appearance... odd.
  16. ^ If I didn't know any better I would think you have a serious obsession with the VA-3...
  17. A slight bit of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing...

    Hi-Metal R

    Got 1 from HLJ (6120 Yen, same as CDJ) due to their usually better shipping rates-- just need 1... no intention to army build, but if Hobbysearch (5780 Yen) gets more preorder stock I may get anther. That was remarkably easy.
  20. That tooling is too old and too outdated, and we don't even know if Arcadia acquired them from Yamato... I'm almost positive they did not. Arcadia will need to develop a whole new Sv-51, just as they did with the VF-0s, if they have any intention of capitalizing/expanding on their M0 license and Bandai's eventual Sv-262 DX offering.
