no3Ljm Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I preordered out of impulse from HLJ. https://hlj.com/product/BANN19252 Y52725 I wonder if this is articulated like the rest of SOC? All the sample photos only show standing position in robot mode. Well, I have to think this through and decide if I need to cancel it. If it were only Voltes V... Anyone preordered? Quote
technoblue Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 ^ Wow. HLJ is already at order stop. I think I prefer the smaller SoC scaling, although there is something nostalgic about the DX SoC releases--and Combattler V in particular. It reminds me of the Bandai America Godaikin of yesteryear. The price is up there though and I have a crowded fun budget already, so I'll be settling for the pics this time. Quote
hachi Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Y52725 is too much. Though I will be mad at myself for being poor if it was Voltes V they were selling... Quote

Though I offered it to a friend who like Combattler V and he might be interested with this scale just in case. 5 hours ago, hachi said: Y52725 is too much.

But like I said earlier, if it's Voltes V, I'm into it 110%. And I'm going to make sure I'll find budget for it. Hahaha! Quote

Eknight is a awsome place , i preorder from them many times without issues, they have a amazon store too. Their 3% rewards credit is nice too. Its too bad they are located in California, so i will have to pay tax if i order from them. Quote
JB0 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Dancouga renewal is awesome. The Dancouga may not be everyone's favorite mech, but he's pretty cool, and it is nice to see him back on the market. If I didn't already own one of the original version, I would be all over the renewal edition. In fact, Dancouga is one of exactly two SoCs I own. For the most part, I'm happy to watch you guys post photos. But he cut an imposing enough figure that I felt he needed a place on my shelf. Quote
kajnrig Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Hey all. I was looking at HLJ's summer sale and found these on sale. Dunno if they fit the theme, but I saw "chogokin" and figured maybe? Might pique your interest, might not. https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?SaleGroup=HLJ20ANNIVERSARYJUN5&DisplayMode=images&Dis=2&Sort=std&qid=CTASYSH1Q&set=1&x=0&y=0&KeyWord=chogokin&c=c Quote
hachi Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Good thing I'm not into Mazinger...I spent my extra money this month on graphic novels. After a few pages I just quit browsing the stuff on sale as I don't have the budget anyway. Maybe I'll have better luck in the HLJ Christmas sale. Quote
Major Focker Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 when i got my DX Mazinger i thought the DX designation was for the "deluxe" extras, ie. hangar base and removable body panels. for some reason i just chalked up the height difference with other SOCs due to Mazinger being bigger canon-wise. now i know better. PO'd Combattler locally for $460. got curious about the scale, and it seems 35cm works out to 1/160 scale. should be a lot of fun for N-scale (1/150) dioramas Quote

Major Focker Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 that's net of the 10% members' discount. P25K PO price, 5K down, 10% off total applies on arrival if cash. another 2% if arrival coincides with one of his (increasingly) frequent promos. they've closed down the Shoppesville store last week and are moving to V-mall, so i helped myself to a number of items that were 25% off. drooling yet? if only his valk pricing policy was the same... i usually come in early to get parking so i've only talked to him a couple of times, and never really introduced myself. he probably doesn't know i have at least a dozen PO slips at any one time.

I notice they add a r to the gx number, something the macross dxs don't do with reissues. Quote

Writeup I saw said it had a new more toon-accurate head that could be used instead of the folded-up Eagle Fighter, and a vague statement about improved joints. Didn't see a picture of the head. Quote

Color me interested... 22040-yen at ami po later tonite for GX-77 Gipsy Danger: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-031840 Still a bit too expensive for a 230mm SOC even with lights and stuff, but it's a better pricing than amazon-us. Check/post other sites' po-pages/pricing when you can. Wonder how much the actual shipping-fee will be. I'm anticipating around 5200y EMS, tho... edit/add: cdj shipping-fees estimates for US-destinations: EMS = 3700y Reg-AirMail = 3420y AirMail = 3010y Reg-SAL = 2110y SAL = 1700y It will most likely vary from other shops. Especially for EU and other non-US destinations. Edited July 21, 2017 by treatment Quote
