Saburo Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I checked the Bandai website and there is no date listed for reservations closed for it. All the other web exclusives have a closing date about 2 months after the opening date. Quote
jenius Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I just ordered from NY. I thought about paying for it now given how strong the dollar is... I'll have to watch that and pay if I see the $ slipping. Quote
wmkjr Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 For the people who want to get this, Pre-orders close on Dec 21, 2014 @ 2300 hrs Japan time. Quote
Bullet_Sponge Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know if this is going to be substantially different from the Yamato release?The only problem with my Yamato one is that it is somewhat of a floppy mess. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Anyone know if this is going to be substantially different from the Yamato release? The only problem with my Yamato one is that it is somewhat of a floppy mess. It is wholeheartedly different. Minor changes from the previous bandai vb-6 release. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 What are the differences aside from markings between the older bandai release and this one? I will probably skip this since I already one 1 monster already. But I am interested to know about these changes. Quote
Edi Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I've been on the fence about ordering one as I kind of liked the older color better. But in the end I decided to pre-order it since I don't have one yet. My wallet will be hurting later. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Preordered mine with NY as well. I'm not too crazy about the nose art, but I can overlook it considering how much improved this version is over Yamato's. Plus, the VB-6 is definitely one of Kawamori-san's coolest designs. Quote
Jasonc Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Now I'm debating if I still need to get this new one. Just found a brand new SP. version of the first Bandai release, so now I'm debating. Quote
myk Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Now I'm debating if I still need to get this new one. Just found a brand new SP. version of the first Bandai release, so now I'm debating.. Doesn't the first release have less or no nose art? I'd say just stick with that one. Just say no to nose art IMO... Quote
xrentonx Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 The first release SP version has Sheryl tampo'd on. I really love mine. Quote
Loop Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have the first release SP version also, I don't mind the nose art at all. Quote
Jasonc Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Can't wait to see the Sheryl credit card, the Vega one. Maybe I'll buy the rest of every Macross toy ever made with it. I mean, it's not like Sheryl can't afford that for me Quote
Loop Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Strange fact, my SP version did not have the damn credit card in the box. I looked everywhere too lol. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Nice, but those decals look more like they belong in a Barbie's New Sportscar set than with a giant transforming artillery battery. Quote
myk Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Seriously, just keep it looking like a war machine... Quote
xrentonx Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Those decals are atrocious. I appreciate that I have them on the sheet untouched though. The Sheryl nose art is as far as I go for these things Quote
brouken Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Well, the VB-6 Koenig is being piloted by a woman in MF, so wouldn't it make sense that it'd have girly decals? Quote
McFly!! Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Well, the VB-6 Koenig is being piloted by a woman in MF, so wouldn't it make sense that it'd have girly decals? I dunno, man... Canaria seems like a tough chick... She was throwing Alto around like a bean bag... Quote
brouken Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I dunno, man... Canaria seems like a tough chick... She was throwing Alto around like a bean bag... Touche bro! I guess that's why she got the Koenig: the biggest, baddest transforming mecha of the SMS skull squadron. Quote
McFly!! Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Touche bro! I guess that's why she got the Koenig: the biggest, baddest transforming mecha of the SMS skull squadron. Hahaha! She didn't use all the decals on her unit either! XD Quote
MikeRoz Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Is there anywhere these aren't sold out? Quote
ZDZIYO Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 If you are talking about PO then you can find it on NY. Is there anywhere these aren't sold out? Quote
jenius Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 If you are talking about PO then you can find it on NY. Negative, NY is also closed. It might reopen after release if they bought a few extras which is probably a safe bet. Quote
ZDZIYO Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Negative, NY is also closed. It might reopen after release if they bought a few extras which is probably a safe bet. You are right. I remember the po has been open for a long time. Love the monster. Quote
Jasonc Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Well, I'll just deal with two of them, well, technically 3, if you count Yamato's old one. Quote
Loop Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Just for kicks, I reopened up the boxes and yeah there is no sign that the Credit card thing was ever taped to the cardboard. It never came with it. Quote
wmkjr Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Darn identity thieves buying up all those upcoming Bandai releases with the Vega card. Quote
Shukenzero Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Darn identity thieves buying up all those upcoming Bandai releases with the Vega card. A Galactic Songstress purchasing Valks?! What has the world come to? Deculture! Quote
eyesonme78 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Got 2 extra monsters renewal on NY which i need to release as i required the funds else where. if anyone missed the boat can pm me thanks. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Anyone have a guess as to when this thing is supposed to release? I've been looking around the web, including Bandai's Japanese site, to no avail. I PO'd thru NY, and they don't have a projected date either. Just hope Bandai makes enough/NY ordered enough to cover all their preorders. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks, Jenius. That's about right, since these were up for preorder thru Nov/Dec. Having not seen or heard anything for at least two months, I was hoping it wasn't going to devolve into vaporware. I did some more snooping around the web and discovered the Suprememecha blog. Cool stuff on there...anime models, toys, and such. As it happens, they have a 4/2015 release date for the Monster as well, so that's a good indicator. I'm really starting to anticipate this thing. The blog also points out a few things Bandai fixed from the first release, so that makes me happy, too. Improvements FTW. Quote
