lavinrac Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 HLJ Apparently didn't put it in their search yet! Glad we have people scouting! Quote
Old Man Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Never mind...my email server must've been slow. Got confirmation from AmiAmi for 3 Spartans! Quote

Lorindor Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Got one at HLJ, but will wait to get one at NY instead if I can. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Got one at HLJ after I secured one VF-31F at AmiAmi!!!! Quote

Big s Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Got my confirmations from cd Japan and Hlj. Hobby search sold out instantly and the amiami page never loaded, but thanks to the link above I got one at Hlj and I had some points for cdjapan so everything worked out with a bit of excitement. Quote
Loop Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I got a nice haul tonight. I got 3 Spartans easily like I hoped for, and I even got 3x VF-31F's. The added bonus for me tonight was that I finally by chance ran in to the HMR Dougram that I passed on initially over at HLJ. Quote

sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah all of the Destroids can be army builders. The Monster too but I won't go that far. Save the line! Quote
jenius Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I got my one... really looking forward to it. I wish I collected more series because that Dougram looks fantastic. Quote
Professor Dire Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 The Spartan is available here as well: http://www.hobbyshop2go.com/en/hi-metal-r-macross-mbr07-mkii-destroid-spartan Quote
jvmacross Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Hey sh9000.....50 bucks at AE http://www.anime-export.com/product/34527 Quote
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah I saw that but I got 3 at Amiami. I'm good for now... Quote
technoblue Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I gave in and got the HMR Dougram a while ago. I picked up one Spartan at hlj...and that AE listing is two good to pass by...two it is. Quote
spanner Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 After some further consideration I decided to cancel my Spartan order. Yeah it looks alright but it doesn't quite get me excited and its not a line I have any intention continuing collecting. The Monster is the exception due to its sheer size and the fact I've always wanted one but that's where it will stop. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I ordered the Spartan twice, but after the "We got your order" window, HLJ keeps saying my shopping cart is empty and I haven't got a confirmation eMail either. Should I wait? Is this normal? Quote
Convectuoso Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) I ordered my Spartan at HLJ. Still waiting for confirmation email, though. Edit: Confirmation received! Edited January 6, 2017 by Convectuoso Quote

seti88 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Heh getting spartan is a breeze compared to messer... Quote
Thessair Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Crud. I forgot preorders opened last night. Thankfully AmiAmi still had them available. I could only get three, but what can you do, eh? Quote
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Too bad HLJ still sticks to their limit of 1 while other stores have a limit of 3. Quote
AIRMAG Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Anyone know if the HI-METAL Spartan will have an opening cockpit with pilot? Quote
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 If the cover can just open I'll just put a pilot in there. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 What scale is the HMR Spartan and are they in scale with the other HMR Macross releases? I'm considering getting a spartan since it's doubtful there will ever be one in 1/60 scale. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Nevermind. I did some calculations on the toy heights vs actual. So the Spartan is roughly 1/75 scale while the Monster is roughly 1/95 scale and the Glaug is about 1/85. Quote
sh9000 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) The Spartan will be about 5.7" tall so everything will still be decently scaled to one another. Can't wait! Edited January 6, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Shoot! Now I'm tempted to get just the Destroids since I didn't get a chance of owning those back in the 80's. And when I mentioned the 80's... yes, I'm in my early 40's too. Let's leave it like that. Hahaha! Quote
