Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Exactly! That blue is too blue. I thought you were David for a second. Just kidding Mr. Hingtgen Quote

Vifam7 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) From what I see in my Japanese Blu-ray release, the new color is actually close to the anime color. The anime color is purple-ish gray. The older release's black-ish gray is actually waay off - though it looks great. So Bandai is correct in their ad, calling the new colors as being "anime image". Edited April 25, 2015 by Vifam7 Quote

JB0 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks, man! :sigh: event-exclusive... Don't think of it like that. Think of how much profit you can make by repainting REGULAR Great Mazingers and putting them on eBay as RARE JUMBO MACHINDER VARIANT L@@K! Quote

I disagree with Bandai calling it "anime image". Maybe they found one still frame that was that deep of a blue. I'll agree with the original being too dark but the new one's shiny blue. Regardless of my opinion, it's a great toy for those of you needing it in your collection. Quote
JB0 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I reserve judgement until people have it in hand. Especially given it displays almost completely different colors on two different displays here, providing a stark reminder that most displays are not just uncalibrated, but grossly so. Also, you know, it could be a bad photo. That said, I think the Gunbuster looks really good in black even if it's not canon. They should reissue it with a black body and white trim. Final Episode Edition, you know. ... Actually, I was joking, but that sounds like a really good idea. Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I think this colored one will display better. Darker and dim toys are cool, but they don't always look good on a shelf. Quote

Actually, I was joking, but that sounds like a really good idea. It's actually off white with white/grey highlights. Just watched it on YouTube cause I was too lazy to toss in one of my DVDs/Bluray. Crap. I should have taken a picture with my USR Gunbuster vhs's as well. Quote

Unfortunately, the belly-sticker might be a bit of a challenge... Quote
Phobos Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Finally, Gunbuster shall be mine. I've been waiting too long for this to care about anime correct colors. I just want it already. Put me down for 2! Quote
joppewo Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Tamashii webpage is up: http://tamashii.jp/item/11027/ Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Oh man that looks good - can you only order it through Tamashii? Quote
joppewo Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) As with all other SoC's, you can get it from AmiAmi and the usual suspects on 1st May 16:00 JST I'm pretty sure BBTS would be opening up pre-orders too. Edited April 27, 2015 by joppewo Quote
Gakken85 Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I'm going to get two - one for ship mode and one for robotuuu Quote
Dangard Ace Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Now those Tamashii official pics are a Gunbuster I can get behind on. Those look great! Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Looking the paint job on this one more than the original. Preorder should be open on Ami tonight...right? Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Since my Wife's Birthday is in September I'll just take BBTS which usually release a month later. Good luck everyone on getting one from AmiAmi, HLJ, Hobby search and NY! Edited April 28, 2015 by VF-Zer0S Quote
antibiotictab Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry to interrupt you. The event about The Tamashii Web will be held this year, too. May 30 and 31. "Touch and Try" again, and some surprises may be. http://tamashii.jp/special/tamacolle_2015/index.html Quote

Silverstreak Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Amiami and HS sold out between page refreshes Sigh. Quote

joppewo Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN01264/Act HLJ Hmm anyone ordered from HLJ and received their confirmation? Edited May 1, 2015 by joppewo Quote
treatment Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I didn't bite on this. I don't really think it's worth it. I rather have Bandai make another VoltesV-40th run, instead... Quote
abbadon Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN01264/Act HLJ Hmm anyone ordered from HLJ and received their confirmation? I think I managed to get one while also trying to score a VF-1J GBP but no confirmation email yet. Quote
JB0 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Cripes, I find out about it and all the preorders are already closed? Quote
treatment Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Cripes, I find out about it and all the preorders are already closed? here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-139726 EMS at 6400yen, tho. D'OH! just sold out, too... Edited May 1, 2015 by treatment Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 honestly HLJ ran very slow but on my orders page I have an email sent for today so fingers crossed. AmiAmi had theirs open for like 5 mins then closed and then opened again for 5 mins. Got one from AmiAmi and HLJ I think... Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Dunno how I got one...but I got one. Refreshed the Ami page around 12:06pm...and it was sold out. I kept refreshing the page and the add to cart option was available around 12:10pm. I'm like wtf so I add one to cart....and THIS is when Ami's website kept crashing...was finally able to login and check out around 12:15pm. Kinda surprised it was still in my cart. Quote
