Smacky Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Looks like amiami is having another preorder sale in 20 minutes for those who didn't get any. http://slist.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-019539&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_seriestitle%3DHI-METAL+R%24pagemax%3D25%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Quote
jvmacross Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Looking good. Hopefully the destroid will get an upgrade soon and more destroid friends! And is is too much to ask for DYRL/TV 1/100 Zentran/Meltran figures? Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) snapped Hopefully we can pose these in the near future, just get Destroids out Bandai. Edited June 2, 2016 by Vi-RS Quote

jvmacross Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Go! Go! Go! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-019539&page=rt_06 Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Go! Go! Go! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-019539&page=rt_06 Got one. Quote
ArchieNov Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Is there really any pressure to make these preorders? Based on my observation, all of the HMR releases have been readily available at no markup after the actual day of release, even if the preorders sell out. I've decided to just wait for NY to have it available again, since they are my preferred vendor. I don't think preorder madness applies to the HMR line. Quote
jasonmacross83 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Wow I got one. One there and one in HLJ Got the Glaug and it is spectacular Quote

The only one that didn't jump up in price after release was the regult, everything else jumped in price after release . Yes it will be available after the actual day of release but it does not stay there for long . Quote

NY will most likely have a markup when they become available again. Quote
ArchieNov Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 NY will most likely have a markup when they become available again. Even if NY has a markup, it will still be a cheaper option for me compared to any other vendor due to customs taxes. I don't really recall seeing any markup across all vendors on the prior releases. Even with the Glaug. There are even sellers on ebay that had HMR releases at retail price. Anyway, that's my perspective. I don't see the need to rush preordering these items, which is a good thing.

This Confuses Gamlin Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Glaug checking in. Bandai character figure Klan Klang for... not really for scaling, since the Glaug is hunched down in this image. This one is an "Up yours, Harmony Gold." I had to use the left arm instead of the right as is more traditional for the gesture; one of the joints on the left arm is very stiff and I didn't want to force it. The right arm articulation is fine though. That damn antenna: I'm less worried about losing it (though I do worry about it) than I am worried about accidentally snapping it off. If that happens, at least it would be easy to push the stub out through the other side of the canopy. Edited June 2, 2016 by This Confuses Gamlin Quote
Roy Focker Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 My Glaug will show up next week maybe... Next big thing to arrive from this line is the Monster. That's going to be something to behold. Quote
Universe1010 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Does anyone want to take a guess when m&m will go on preorder? Also what about the elintseeker? Quote
Big s Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Well I decided that the glaug is my favorite Macross toy ever, although the monster is coming next. If zentraidi action figures come out I hope they are sh figuarts. I know it would be out of scale, but a 1j vs a soldier half its size would just look sad. Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Bandai should release a package of Zentrans and Meltrans figurines in scale like the Yamato did at some points down the line. Quote
EXO Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 those were CM's figs AFAIK They are CMs but they were in conjunction with Yamato somewhat... Remember that the Max and Millia fit in the Q-Raus... Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I always thought they have some sort of collaboration back then. The name of both companies are printed on the box, but you get the point. Hopefully Bandai or some other 3rd party companies like CM will be making a set of figurines for those bad guys down the road. Edited June 2, 2016 by Vi-RS Quote
Big s Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I don't think bandai likes to deal with other companies these days. Quote
Roy Focker Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I want them to put M&M on pre-order but I don't want them to be next in line. First we thought Max was coming next and then is was VF-1A. Next almost out of nowhere was Hikaru's VF-1J. They shouldn't release more than 2 VF-1 in a row. The next release should be another Destroid and I'm guessing it will be the Spartan. Someone needs to take a pic of Bandai's Glaug next to Matchbox's. Quote
ZorClone Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Someone needs to take a pic of Bandai's Glaug next to Matchbox's. Hmm... I wonder if I still have mine, lol. That thing was gangly. Is the "Ingram 1" being mentioned this one? That's cool news about the CF 1A getting those extra parts and such. I'm probably going to skip that VF-1J in hopes they release a GBP package. Also gonna leave the Maruader Glaug in the private warehouse to ship later with the Monster Quote
Mommar Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Dang, I missed the Post Office yesterday. With any luck my Glaug will be at the house tonight. Quote
Vi-RS Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Glaug's review by hlj. http://www.hobbylink.tv/hi-metal-r-glaug-by-bandai-part-2-review Quote
Loop Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 No one was home to receive my Glaugs yesterday I have to go to my dreadful PO to get them tonight after work. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 the red canopy window looks kinda cheap in contrast to the rest of the figure. reminds me of some kindergarden toy type material from the pics Quote
EXO Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Mine is sitting at customs... so tomorrow or Saturday it'll be here. I either forgot to hit complete transaction on my shipping or they double billed me because it sat all weekend until I had to do it all over on Monday. Or else it would be here by now. Quote
derex3592 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I'm going to finally get to play with..errr..study my Glaug tonight. At first glance, some of the red plastic does look kinda cheap, perhaps a slightly darker red would have been a better choice. So the model guy in me is thinking "ohh man, I can't wait to panel line and weather this thing up so it looks awesome!", while the other part of me just wants to play with the darn thing and have fun...been waiting for this toy since 1985! No way to get more than one of these..display space has reached CRITICAL MASS at my place, so I guess I'm gonna have to make a choice... Edited June 2, 2016 by derex3592 Quote
