Anubis Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 In case anyone wanted any and missed out, HLJ has the Macross figures in stock again apparently. One more chance to try to get a minmei doll. Link Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 nice, but I wonder if they open the outer box to mix up the inner boxes itself or not? If they keep it factory sealed, then I'd consider buying one. I'll email them and find out. Thanx for the heads up. Quote
EXO Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Hey Pat, I just talked to Alex at F & S and he said they just rereleased these figures. For anyone that missed them the first time, you guys better jump on it this time. These things flew off the shelves, I remember Tamim started a poll wether he should sell them individually or not, and by the time there were votes on his thread they were sold out. I should know I bought 2 of the 5 boxes he had. Quote

EXO Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Yeah, I was asking him about the IJs. He said he'll have those by not this wed, but the next one coming up... there were people there already asking him for it... I wonder if they were MWers... I already preo-ordered mine from VX. But I love instant gratification!!! Quote
Sebastian Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Allready ordered mine. But only 6. Ten is too much for my shelf space. Quote
robokochan Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 When I had them I sold out almost as fast as I listed them. I may pick up a few more boxes as well... Quote
EXO Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 so you talked to him today? And is he getting any? oh man, I needs to jump on these right away!! help me out alex!!! Sorry, Pat... to answer your question, he said he's TRYING hard to get them... Quote
treatment Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Thanks for the heads up, dude. Ordered my share properly this time since my pre-orders from the first batch got deleted by mistake before. And, yes. I'm ordering from hlj again. I think I can wait for 2-weeks for SAL now. Quote
kensei Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 In case anyone wanted any and missed out, HLJ has the Macross figures in stock again apparently. One more chance to try to get a minmei doll.Link Thankyou soooooo much for the heads up Anubis. I so wanted to get these last time, but by the time I already knew about them they had sold out ages before! I don't care about the Minmay doll really, I just want one of each main Macross character.

Isamu Atreides 86 Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 any word on when (or if) series 2 is coming out? Quote
nhyone Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Hopefully this means the prices will come down and then I can get the Minmay doll after all! I could have gotten three sets for what I paid. As been noted, a set is not really random. Without the secret doll, it is complete. (So, buy two boxes and swap. ) Quote
imode Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 nice, but I wonder if they open the outer box to mix up the inner boxes itself or not? If they keep it factory sealed, then I'd consider buying one. I'll email them and find out. Thanx for the heads up. Straight from their webpage: Please note that these are trading figures and are individually sealed and randomly packed before shipment to HobbyLink Japan. As a result we are unable to honour requests for specific figures, nor can we promise you which figure(s) you will receive in your order. They don't open the box, or else they'd know what was what.

treatment Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Imode, you forgot the most important part of that... Please order only if you are willing to save the world with any of the possible figures! Quote

Yeah, I know the individual boxes are still sealed, but is the box of ten still sealed? If I order 10 to complete one full box, I don't want them mixing up the box. I want the box to be untampered with so I know for sure I'll be getting one clear hair set and and one painted hair set at least. Quote
Anubis Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 any word on when (or if) series 2 is coming out? The box back says Next Stage --- 2004 February. Damn these things went fast this time. Not even 24 hours. Quote

twinmoons Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Ooh, this is great news. I've contacted our supplier to see if they'll be able to get us more. I'll keep you guys posted if we're able to re-stock them. Quote
Anubis Posted November 3, 2003 Author Posted November 3, 2003 HLJ took the out of production banner off again. Wonder how many sets they were able to procure this time. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 ok, I'm too lazy to do all the calculations but how much total does it come out to if you buy it through HLJ? with shipping and everything of course. Let me know. thanx Quote
