jvmacross Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Anyone own these? Wondering if they would scale well with the HMR line... Maybe Bandai will eventually release Macross specific accessories for the HMR line... Quote
Bub Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 My apologies about my previous post... For size comparison, THESE are the ones from Asobit City: Quote
spanner Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Diorama-wise, I'm more into this one. If I ever get around to make one, It'll probably be an action scene at the deck of the SDF-1. Say, how tall do you think a SDF-1 bridge should be at 1/100 scale? the Monster is so dominating!!! cant wait for release.. must.have.one.now! Quote
sh9000 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Paid for my 3 Regults at mykombini. 1 Regult will be getting the huge box pic treatment. The 10 others will be cool in a battle with my HMR Valkyries. :D Edited February 28, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
seti88 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 In the world of Macross -- Resistance is Futile. Hahaha! Same here, Kelsain. But for me, the reason why I browse this thread, is to train my will power to resist. But resistance is futile! unless you go armored! which is what my wallet is doing now... Quote
Mr Bomber Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Interesting. I haven't heard anything from mykombini yet. I wonder if they will come through. I got my payment request from mykombini a few hours ago. They should send yours soon enough. Quote

TheFallen Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I finally got around to opening my VF-1S. Can someone please explain what the smaller, fused wings are for? Thanks Quote

sh9000 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Looking at all of the 3rd party Transformers "MP" figures that I didn't buy, I'm so ready to preorder some HMR Monsters very soon. Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Dang, my Regults showed up yesterday and I can't be here to pick them up for days. No idea how I'm going to get these damn things before they're sent back. Quote
Loop Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I would call my PO and pray to the god's that they hold it there for you since you are out of town. My post office is stupid though and would probably send it back anyways... Quote
jaylive Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 yeah. you can call your po and theyll hold them. Quote
Mazinger Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I'm only in for the Glaug so far, but between this diorama talk and the collection display thread, I wish someone would give some stop motion animation a shot. I do recall at least one such video on YouTube. Quote
F360 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Dang, my Regults showed up yesterday and I can't be here to pick them up for days. No idea how I'm going to get these damn things before they're sent back. you can sign a release form and ask someone living with you to pick the item up from the post office for you. Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 you can sign a release form and ask someone living with you to pick the item up from the post office for you. Luckily they don't require someone be present for re-delivery so they can leave it at the door. The only person I used to live with is now in a nursing home and can't sign for me anymore. She's the reason why I'll never be home to sign for the package now. Too bad the PO doesn't offer the same service Fed Ex does, they'll re-route and hold shipments at different locations. There's one down the road from the nursing home that's open 23 1/2 hours a day and that's been a life saver. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) I always get a pink notice from USPS if I miss a package, especially if it's coming from another country. Then I just pick it up at the post office the next day. I guess some post offices work differently. Edited February 28, 2016 by sh9000 Quote

Yeah ,the hold at another Fedex location is a pretty neat service , theres still lots of people that don't know about it. Have you ever try to just ship your Usps stuff to the nursing home? Quote
neoexcaliber Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Regult up at HLJ. 1 per customer limit so I wouldn't risk getting more. http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN01899/Act Quote
sh9000 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 woah I placed an order for another Regult earlier this afternoon at HLJ after getting payment request on my other one, just looked right now and the page says Discontinued! Seems like he got 2 Regults at HLJ even though the limit is 1. I wouldn't risk it. Quote
Old Man Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Seems like he got 2 Regults at HLJ even though the limit is 1. I wouldn't risk it. It's tempting, but I wouldn't risk it either. Quote
Golden Arms Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Ditto on the Regult. I tried to order 2 of the Gluag and they changed it to 1 per person. Quote
F360 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 yeah, it's best not to play with HLJ's limited 1 per customer, they suspended many accounts last time with double VF-19 advance orders. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Finnally ordered one!!! Thanks for the link!!! Quote
Kelsain Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Really tempted me there. Had one in my cart, mulled it a bit, decided "meh, what the hell, i can sell it if I change my mind." Then it's gone. Haha, this always happens. I think I might've really been waiting for this to happen. To have the decision made for me. It's all good, as I've recently decided to divest from my 1/100 series. I may reevaluate my stance on this scale when the deltas come out, or if they make a q rau or Vf-11. I think the glaug is awesome, but pretty $$ for the size. I like keeping scales consistent, and I've already got 1/12, 1/60, 1/72, 1/144 & 1/4000ish. And nowhere to put them... Quote
physioguy Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I panicked after reading the last few posts about HLJ suspending accounts for going over the limits, as I had just ordered a second regult, not realizing that there was a limit. I quickly shipped the last one I had sitting in my Private Warehouse so hopefully everything is ok. Re: the Monster: I've been waiting for this toy for decades. I remember finding an old die-cast one listed in toy collecting newspaper (this was around 1990) but it was from a shop in another city. I've since had that toy, and the 1/200 model I built, but have long since sold them. I'm so anxious for the HM-R Monster that I have my little custom built Lego one sitting on the shelf as a little placeholder (but he doesn't seem to have the presence that the big one will have).

Esponjabob Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I read earlier in the thread that preorders for th monster go up on MAR 1st. Does anybody have an idea of what time locally? Thanks in advance! Quote
jvmacross Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I read earlier in the thread that preorders for th monster go up on MAR 1st. Does anybody have an idea of what time locally? Thanks in advance! 4PM JST has been the time most of these PO's go live.... Quote
sh9000 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 See everyone tomorrow night at 11 PM PST. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 went to HLJ, hesitated, and now i am Regultless Quote
sh9000 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Regults are still available 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 Edited February 29, 2016 by sh9000 Quote

sharky Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 See everyone tomorrow night at 11 PM PST. Ugh! That's 2am est. I'm debating whether to stay up late or go to bed extra early and get up super early and hope I can still pre-order around 5am est. Decisions, decisions? Quote
