    dang! i wish i had known about this... I just got back from Tokyo, been there since Friday... stayed at Shinjuku... although i'm not sure if i would line up for a magazine release if i didn't know that SK would be there. At least i now know that I was just a few miles from him at the time, lol.

    i got my Konig Monster from them. i liked that they cut the box/carton to the exact size of the toy's box to minimize the the s/h costs... the carton is thick and sturdy and they bubblewrap the box for the toy itself.

    it's actually around 400-500HKD cheaper if you were able to preorder it from the HK sellers coz these new ones will come from their local Yamato supplier instead of from Japan like the first release.
  4. m0n5t3r
    amen, indeed. btw, locus.hk has these two a little bit cheaper... preorder deadline is tomorrow.

    1/60 Yamato Glaug

    m0n5t3r replied to EXO's topic in Toys

    yeah, 1/60 toy version please... ha! 6600 Yen would probably just get you one of those arm cannons. btw, nice avatar... where's that from?

    i'm sure the landing gears will be one of the things they got from the DX VF-27. is this the only paint scheme that came out in the movie?

    looks ok in b-mode. i wanna see how that enormous backpack looks in side-view. i like the better proportions... i hope the feet are already extended all the way out... i like the longer torso but i'm not sure how ugly it will look in person seeing too much of the open front landing gear and that waist joint... smaller crotch... the more i keep looking at the pic the more i see a proper DX VF-25....
  8. m0n5t3r
    definitely looks cool.

    can't wait for the day a ver. 2 VF-25 comes out that can withstand multiple transformations w/o turning into a mess, whether it be by Bandai or maybe(?) Yamato. i'm achin' to transform a VF-25 but i'm afraid that if i transform my Alto to fighter or Ozma to battroid i'm really gonna get irritated... plus i want a VF-25 i can display in GERWALK!

    i got a re-release 0S a couple of years ago... no real problems except for one of the feet retracts when in battroid mode (and i remember others also had this problem). it's an easy fix since you can access the part just by deploying the landing gear on the problematic leg... no need to open the whole leg assembly. just dab w/ nailpolish or superglue to the sliding part. there's also a fix here if the front fuselage of your VF-0 starts drooping... i think it's in the "What's wrong with my Yamato, Bandai" thread. if you really like the design of the VF-0 this maybe the last ever large scale incarnation that will ever come out since Yamato has said that the Mac Zero line is pretty much dead. At that price it wouldn't hurt too much if you have to do some tweaking here and there. ...and you might wanna ask HLJ about the box design of their VF-0A coz the latest VF-0As that Yamato released came with this box design - new VF-0A box .

    1) 1/60 v.2 VF-1 2-seaters (1D, VT & VE) 2) 1/60 v.2 VF-1S (Hik, Roy, Max) 3) 1/48 VF-1J 4) VF-0S 5) all 3 Mac+ valks
  12. m0n5t3r
    i wanna know if they've improved the crotch attachment thingy or is this one of the parts that this thing inherited from the DX 25/27... yeah, i think Bandai might wait until they've gotten rid of all the Tornado VF-25Gs or if they've made a profit out of it already before they start considering releasing a v.2 DX 25.
  13. m0n5t3r
    that was fast... i'd like to see the back view of that battroid. so, the outer wing up to the thrusters just slides into the wing glove. those guns/lasers behind the head is something new. i think i'll "wait and see" on this one... i still feel lukewarm about the design, but if this is what the next VF/YF is, then i'm gonna have to get one eventually.
  14. m0n5t3r
    finally got my Roy TV 1S and Max TV 1A... i just love how the new crotch minimizes the collar sticking out... i think i'm now done with the VF-1. bring on the VF-19s and VF-17s. EDIT - i wish Yamato had made the visors for all the newer VF-1s the same brighter green like on the Roy TV 1S. that's probably the remaining nitpick i have with these v.2s.
  15. m0n5t3r
    i can't imagine how you would be able to put 1/3000 scale "no step" or "danger" decals on this toy...
  16. m0n5t3r
    called it... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=28836&view=findpost&p=888551... they should have at least included the strike cannon option. these are DYRL valks after all.

    i know that shop... i bought, like, 80-90% of my Yamatos from him... i kinda guessed he was going to close shop... guess his dad doesn't want to watch his shop anymore. i'm still torn... still can't decide... i was planning to get this when i go to Japan this March... but now i'm not so sure if this will still be available by then. anybody got some inside info on how many units Yamato are producing?
  18. m0n5t3r
    hope you're okay na pare... one of these days i'm gonna check out your crib when i'm in Cebu (been there twice the past couple of years, was just too busy )... ingat lang sa pag-drive ...
  19. m0n5t3r
    a wild guess... but looking at the color-coded pic, i'm guessing the blue part of the wing will retract into the wing glove to keep the boosters upright and the light green wing tip will fold somewhere and out of the way... 2011 is looking like it's gonna be the year of the forward-swept winged VF toys...
  20. m0n5t3r
    paint scheme is nice, kinda like the YF-25. imo, it could do w/o those wing boosters. i'm guessing in battroid those wings+boosters will be the backpack kinda like on the 27...
  21. m0n5t3r
    lol... i always say these things to myself in my head... (to prevent myself from spending too much!) my dad was kinda okay when he saw my collection... he probably figured, i've finally learned how to take care of my toys (after breaking/destroying pretty much every toy he bought for me when i was a kid). but at 38 yo, it should be easy to just tune out the haters... even if it's your own dad

    just paid for my TV 1A Max... local currency bounced back a little against the Yen. it's now showing "Low Stock" and a few others are on backorder status... guess this sale is pretty hot!
  23. m0n5t3r
    it looks like one of those little space ships in one of those galactic space opera animes. ...as long as they keep making new VFs, it's all good...
  24. m0n5t3r
    only the arm components of the FPs will fit. the belly-plate FPs won't. the fold-booster will fit also. @troyness - you could email hlj and ask about the total if they indeed gave you the fedex 50% off before paying...
  25. m0n5t3r
    yeah, i know, man ... that's why i feel so compelled to get one even if i'm not too fond of the 1A head. I really wanted the re-issue and I was supposed to get this a good while back... but i was informed that the recent 1A re-issues were for sale only in Japan. I was just waiting for HLJ to put it on sale. I'm kinda curious now if HLJ will get stocks of the VF-X or the AB.
