Sandman

nope

hope everyone got one

wow. My notification came right after my cart got denied again. Lovely.

The problem was there was no way I could've done anything humanly faster there. Doesn't give me much hope for the future. Don't really want to be on call for the next 4 months trying to get one of these. Frustrating.

This is crap. Seriously bullshit.

damn!!!! had one in my cart and it didn't go through.

Damn... Mine is still in Osaka, anyone else? I don't mind waiting but I'd like to see some movement or progress...last time I try to save a few bucks in shipping.

Mine have been "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" from osaka from May 2nd. I've never had it take so long before. it's driving me nuts.

Nice. Literally a minute after i signed off last night, HLJ opened up their preorders. Really disheartening to say the least. Never seem to e in the right place at the right time for these peorders.

Now NY on sale at 16000 yen.

Nice, looks like all of us that preodered from NY got screwed with the markup. It's like the reverse of normal preordering, preoder to get the discount and pay regular price at time of release.

The premium is going to hurt on this one i tell you. Then factor in shipping. Going over $300 for sure.

Well really in their eyes they put out x number of units for preorder. The full x number sold out in a minute. So they did they're job. Who cares if the fans can't get one.

They have GOT to realize that they are just feeding the day one scalpers with these numbers.

Bandai doesn't care. Sold is sold. Doesn't matter who gets them.

for you modellers this is still avaliable:

yeah it's already $211 at NY, so when it comes up again it'll be close to $300 i bet.

cdjapan must of had like one. I was on that site as soon as the email arrived. had in my cart but it was over before checkout.

well i saw the add to cart button then the server crashed.

Had one in the cdjapan cart but it didn't go through.

MPCs are so frustrating to me. I see them selling for high prices all the time but everytime i try to sell one i can barely get my break even price.

I love the 1/48 yamatos. It'd be cool to see a new mold with improvements like tampo printing (using decals sucks). More imprtantly they need to fix the way the front booms connect on the fast packs. They are always falling out.

Just watched the frst two episodes. This reminds of Gundam so bad, seed in particular. You could basically replace the robot with a gundam and change a few names and it would be a gundam show.

LOL!

Well Said. Double face palm never gets old.

I dunno. I kinda like those.

That didn't take long. I expect we will be seeing more vf-27s showing up in the sales threads.

Awesome price.

i wouldn't say it's that bad, if you got the refreshed packages with the non disintegrating parts. (though i have brought the latest releases with all the corrections, i ordered extras from shapeways, in case )

Actually the yf-19 and it's disintegrating joints is another one that needs a renewal. Haven't decided which is worse the zero valks or the yf-19.

The zero line needs a v2 renewal badly. It's the worst macross line other than 1/72 macross plus line and the 1/60 ver 1 VF-1 line.

Mine finally shipped today even though i was on the first batch of preorders from NY. I don't know why it always takes so long for my orders to get shipped. Probably won't get mine till next week. I'm just hoping i don't get screwed with a missing chest cannon like last time.
