I believe you can combine orders now with AmiAmi as long that those orders are still not released. Meaning if one item is already released you cannot combine it to your new order. Quote

Usually, the only way to combine items at ami is if the items have the same release-month. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Make sure they are in the same month to combine the orders. Quote

I guess I mixed up both NY and Ami's Combine Shipping/Order method. Sorry about that. It's been awhile since I used Ami. Thanks for that treatment. Quote

I was hoping it was really a new policy at ami, as I still have some preorders from them that I would really like to combine for better terms... Quote

I used to buy stuff too at Ami before because of the cheaper price than the other shops but the shipping fee is the killer. Quote

Major Focker Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 i'm not sure if this still works at amiami, but i noticed from some of my previous orders that if you place PO items with different release months plus a back-ordered item into the shopping cart and then check out, they get lumped together into one order.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Do we know when is Bandai supposed to announce the next ítem? I know, I haven't held any of the last four releases and I can't wait for the next one. Quote

Haha if only spraying it with water would get you an shark mouth regult! Bandai could list that as the ultimate 'gimmick'! And if one of your valks go missing you would know which regult did it!

UN Spacy Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 IT ROCKS....I want four more...here's my review. https://youtu.be/wZOoyuNvhXw Quote
sh9000 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 For anyone who is looking for Regults, they're still here. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14025-hi-metal-r-regult.html http://mykombini.com/en/macross-robotech/3172-hi-metal-r-regult-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-bandai-4549660018995.html?search_query=regult&results=1 I'm just waiting to see if cdjapan will have more so that I can use my points and get my 12th Regult.

sh9000 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 This Tamashii Effect part will probably go well with the Monster. Quote
Major Focker Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 i don't think the Monster will fit in there. you might need one for each foot. Quote

Thanks for putting the Toynami next to it. I was wondering how it compared size wise. Color and detail are obviously very different. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Did anyone place an order for a Regult a couple of days ago when HLJ indicated it had some more in stock (around 2/29)? Did you get a payment request e-mail? I managed to sneak an order in that day, but I still haven't received a payment request. Normally, this would indicate that something is not in stock and/or they are awaiting to receive more. But Regult preorders closed a long time ago and so I assumed any additional orders they were taking were for stock that was available and ready to ship. Quote

EXO Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I wonder how these SHF Building options would look with the HMR line... Quote
wmkjr Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Loving this Regult. Super fun posing it. Also, you can pop off the top mini turret so maybe a missile set would be possible instead of a separate release. Edited March 2, 2016 by wmkjr Quote

yman1437 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Monster still available at amiami and ae. What kinds of theory you guys have? Too expensive? Not enough interest? CDJ charge too much for shipping, so their slower sale is understandable Edited March 2, 2016 by yman1437 Quote
sh9000 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 jvmacross, do you have any kind of figure that can fit inside of the Regult? Quote

Not enough interest? CDJ charge too much for shipping, so their slower sale is understandable Well, it IS huge. It IS a relatively niche item in Japan with limited appeal to the broader market (let's face it, most Macross fans are older). And it's expensive. I have to admit, I wonder how many Japanese fans are gonna spring for the Monster. Space is an issue in Japan, so there are probably a lot of collectors who may pass on the Monster just because of that. And while the hardest of the hardcore will happily spend the money on it, there are probably more who won't. Hopefully Bandai has taken these things into account and won't kill the line if the Monster doesn't do as well as they'd like. Edited March 2, 2016 by Drad Quote
jvmacross Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Curse you Chinese fortune cookie!!!! Macross forever!!!! Quote
seti88 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Think its more of the pricing, cos there has been a slew of HMR releases and in my case, the arcadia's 0S burnt a hole in my wallet... Quote
Tking22 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I got my first three in from AmiAmi, and damn, they're pretty much perfect in my opinion. Bandai really nailed these guys, they're beautiful, articulated, and they came packaged with stands, what more could you want? frakking more. That's the answer. I've got three more on the way from various sources, I may grab a few more still if I can... Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 It is big, expensive and less popular. Fans outside of Asia who want it are going to pay even more to have it shipped. That toy is intended for the collect who has to have them all or someone looking for a big center piece for their collection. Quote
Mommar Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Shiiiiiiii, gotta get them Regults redelivered. Quote

As much as I would love for them to offer missile pods separately, I doubt it'll happen. They're going to want to sell us as many variants of these as possible. I hope I'm wrong. Quote
