derex3592 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Can anyone tell me what time I need to try and wake up for this Central US time? Quote
Tober Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Countdown Timer for Monster pre-order at 4 PM JST. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Let the preorder madness begin! I think I'll wait for HLJ for this one. Something this large and heavy I'd rather combine shipping with HLJ's private warehouse than ship separately with Amiami's much higher rates. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 1 AM for CST. Not happening. LOL. Will check at 5:30am CST Quote
treatment Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 You guys sure really think there'll even be a madness and scalpers buying multiples with the current expensive item-pricing of the Monster? Quote
sh9000 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 With Bandai's standard preorder policy shenanigans of extremely artificially limiting stocks and availability?No just this. Quote
treatment Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well, here's ami's po-page for those wanting to pay their second-highest exorbitant shipping-fees... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 Quote
eggy99 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Amiami has enforced 1 unit limit! Purchase Limit Max quantity per household = 1 Quote
sh9000 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Would have been nice if it was a limit of 2 or 3. Quote
Sandman Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Like it will make a difference. They'll only have like 5 up for preorder. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 i hope i can make it for the pre order time Quote
F360 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Amiami has enforced 1 unit limit!Purchase LimitMax quantity per household = 1 Which probably means their batch from Bandai ,will be much smaller this time compare to the Regult, or Vf-1s since those are up to 3 per household. Edited March 1, 2016 by F360 Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Hopefully it'll be as easy to cop as the Regult and Glaug. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Hopefully it'll be as easy to cop as the Regult and Glaug. talking about that, i manage to get 3 regults! :S and i was worried i wouldnt find one XD Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I suspect that Bandai made quite a bunch of Regults anticipating collectors buying multiples (the low price compared to the cost of the Glaug is also a good indication). I don't know what's Bandai's prediction for the Monster, but I'm sure they didn't produce nearly as many. Quote
SuperHobo Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I like how amiami's listing calls it the "Destroyed Monster" , I mean sure the destroids usually blew up, but the Monster was never really shown being blown up. Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I like how amiami's listing calls it the "Destroyed Monster" , I mean sure the destroids usually blew up, but the Monster was never really shown being blown up. Unless you count the suspiciously small ones used for target practice in the tutorial of Macross 30 Quote
yman1437 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well, here's ami's po-page for those wanting to pay their second-highest exorbitant shipping-fees... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 how do you know? and still only see placecards @ hs and ami only Quote
koonfasa Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 You guys sure really think there'll even be a madness and scalpers buying multiples with the current expensive item-pricing of the Monster? Nope, but there will be a madness for everyone trying to get a second or third creating the same affect. Quote
fenrir72 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well, here's ami's po-page for those wanting to pay their second-highest exorbitant shipping-fees... http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 Technically, they are only requesting a registered/parcel shipping for items with that particular price range. It's up to you to take their price or look for somewhere else. I would have preferred unregistered but of course, I risk it's being lost or damaged. Just noticed something.does this Monster transform? Quote
yman1437 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Just noticed something.does this Monster transform? no, it doesn't Quote
aaajin Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Half an hour to go. Not ordering but tonight should be fun to watch. Good luck guys! Quote
yman1437 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Half an hour to go. Not ordering but tonight should be fun to watch. Good luck guys! not interested in the monster? Quote
treatment Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 how do you know? Experience with buying from them over the years? Here's a recent comparo from no3ljim in another thread: Since VF-4G is now available we can use it as an example. Arcadia VF-4G + EMS Method (USA) HLJ Y27000 + Y2980 = Y29980/$267.93(xe.com) NY Y25480 + Y4700 = Y30180/$269.72(xe.com) Ami Y27120 + Y4000 = Y31120/$278.12(xe.com) (shipping based when I bought VF-0D) Of course, I'm only talking about usual EMS fees among the regular Japan-based import-shops we use here at MWF. You may select Reg-SAL if they offer it for the Monster if you so choose a 2-week delivery-time/wait for it. That'll lower the fees, but not sure if the pricing-difference will be significant or negligible. and still only see placecards @ hs and ami only It'll go live in about 10-mins from now... Quote
spanner Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 im eagerly watching most of the more popular websites (with HLJ being the preferred) but im yet to decide how many I want.. Quote

Saburo Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 im eagerly watching most of the more popular websites (with HLJ being the preferred) but im yet to decide how many I want.. You want 3 of them. Quote
spanner Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 its up at NY.. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/15995-hi-metal-r-hwr-00-mkii-destroid-monster.html Quote
treatment Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 o..EMS you were referring to...I see I think most of us will choose EMS for the Monster. There will only be a few that can afford the mental anguish of a 2-week wait for it... Quote
yman1437 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 NY: 23180yen ..https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/15995-hi-metal-r-hwr-00-mkii-destroid-monster.html Quote

spanner Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I didn't really want to use NY but I thought bugger it and pre-ordered 1 with them.. Postage was 4000yen.. I'll think about a 2nd Quote
