    It's funny that some of you ended up with 2 in cart. I wanted 2 in cart and had to change the qty to 2. I'm surprised I was able to preorder pretty easily from Amiami and they didn't sell out in 2 secs which seems to be norm from my observations of previous Amiami PO madness. There were some moments of slow server responses during the checkout process, which made me nervous. I was also nervous my friend wasn't going to secure his Amiami PO too, but luckily it went through without error or cart jacking.

    OMG! I totally forgot about the NeoGeo Mini. When is International version out? Sorry off topic!

    Our government somehow strong armed many international retailers to apply for tax collecting as part of GST that all Australians should be paying for purchases. Even a small retailer like Ami is collecting tax for Australian purchases. All my orders now have 10% added tax including shipping! The main purpose is to reduce importing purchasing that is hurting our local retail as our pricing is much more expensive than overseas. It will also be a big chunk of money in the government's pocket now too.

    It's because us Aussies no longer have the option of buying from foreign Amazon any more. We are only allowed to purchase internationally via Amazon AU's global portal. International Amazon sites can't be forked dealing with getting and ABN and doing quarterly BAS etc. They just block all AU addresses. Thanks Australian government...

    As much as I'd like Arcadia to pick up the pace, there really can't compete on equal terms with Bandai. I remember this was discussed a while back, that if Bandai ever released a competing VF-1 to Arcadia's VF-1, Arcadia would be in trouble. I think the competition from Bandai is good, and it would be fantastic to see Arcadia spurred on to improve their VF-1 products and engineering, but they're just so small in comparison. It would be sad if they did abandon their ver 2 VF-1 line. Are people really burnt out on the VF-1? It's the venerable design that I holds a special place in the heart of all Macross fans. Similar to the F-14 Tomcat. It just never gets old.

    I'm completely in love with this! I'm actually going to skip on the MB Strike Gundam and DX YF-19 now for 2 to 3 of these. Look out for my sale posts if I can secure enough VF-1Js. I've never collected VF-1 heroes as it's an expensive slippery slope of getting all the SDFM characters - I did that when I bought many Yamato VF-1 ver1 toys back in the day (sold them all). It's been my policy to only collect the obscure military looking units (like the brownies, Angel Birds and Cavaliers), but I just can't ignore how awesome this Hikki is. This is the first time I've ever wanted 3 to display in all 3 modes. I'm assuming this will do very well for Bandai, and a VF-1S will be on the cards in the future, and I'll probably get one VF-1S with the (probably web store exclusive) Super packs to display in fighter mode. I wonder if they would release the VF-1S Fokker, and then later a VF-1S Hikki with super packs? This would be canon to the TV series and the only difference is the pilot name tampoed on the plane and pilot figure (can we wish for molded pilot figure of Misa with Hikki helmet sitting on Hikki's lap like when he saves her from Alaska base?). In fact it would be awesome if Bandai included a Mars base Misa that you could place in the valk's hands - posed stretching out and call out "RIBER!!!!!"

    Arcadia gotta pick up the pace now that Bandai are offering their VF-1J with full tampo marks and at a much lower price than their perfect marking editions.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    just a heads up, with the recent PO announcement of the DX VF-1J, if I can secure 2 to 3 POs, I will be cancelling my PO for my DX YF-19 at HLJ, but if there are any Australian collectors who still need to secure a preorder, I can hold on to it and have it shipped directly to you. NOTE: I can't ship HLJ items to countries other than Australia. I'll post in the for sale section if I am successful at securing my POs.

    Wow this is amazing! Blowing Yamarcadia out of the water!
  12. eggy99
    That is awesome. I love the GMs, and Blue Destiny-1 is one of those special ones for me. Dang it's coming out soon and money is all allocated to MB Strike and DX YF-19. I could consider giving up DX YF-19 since I already have an Arcadia YF-19 and DX VF-19Adv. Tough decisions!

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    eggy99 replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Amiami is hit and miss for me. Long time ago I preordered the Monster Hunter 3rd Portable PSP console from them, and when it came to ship they cancelled my order because they were not allowed to ship an item with a lithium ion battery due to postal rules - the battery was declared on the shipping documents. I was given a full refund, but they were not willing to help at all to get the item to me. So disappointed. I was lucky and managed to order it from another smaller retailer for a little bit more than Amiami. The main disappointment was that a work colleague was able to have their preorder fulfilled by Amiami for the same item, and only because they were shipping a lot of different items, so the battery was not declared on the shipping documents. I don't think I have ordered from Amiami since, but I do browse their site all the time. Ahhh I love window shopping

    And gone!
  15. eggy99
    Oh no! Preordering this and a YF-19. Gonna be hectic!
  16. eggy99
    0 Gundam is awesome. It would be ace if they did a renewal version in the Metal Build line. I have the test colour version.
  17. eggy99
    Good observation! I wonder how they got that wrong?... They should make the SUPER pack version Rick Hunter instead of Roy.
  18. eggy99
    Ahh yes the Strike thunder thighs. That was the issue we observed from the first set of preview photos.
  19. eggy99
    Funny how the teaser conveniently hides the massive skirts. Haha. Still gonna buy it.
  20. eggy99
    Oh snap it's actually a different mold to the original RD. I haven't been following MRD so I didn't notice at all; assuming it would just be the original RD but with metal joints and tampo. The ordinal RD Strike Freedom was such a disappointing toy. The MRD looks great!
  21. eggy99
    Buster is a little over 1m taller than Strike in the stats. Anyone care to do a comparison mock up to visually compare against the mo show/poison toys renditions?
  22. eggy99
    Definitely getting bust...err Hurricane.
  23. eggy99
    And MB Perfect Strike Maybe even MB Strike Noir
  24. eggy99
    Would they also need to include 2 cockpit canopies with Roy and Rick's name on them too?
  25. eggy99
    These are looking pretty cool. Only part I find strange looking are the intakes on the chest piece. Too used to Yamarcadia design for so long. One thing they need to remember, they shouldn't release the Super VF-1S with Roy as the pilot as he never flew with that equipment. It should be Rick in the Super VF-1S. Technically Hikaru never flew a Super VF-1J, but that didn't stop Yamato releasing that version.
