Lolicon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Man, I thought these things started at midnight my time... It would have been midnight if we hadn't turned our clocks back an hour! Quote
derex3592 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Woke up to the call of nature and checked HLJ -- out -- but snagged one at AmiAmi -- YAY!!! pretty much 2 hrs after the pre-order went up, still available! NICE! Goodnight! Quote
jaylive Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 its up on AE now. if anyone wants to bother with their bad customer service, high shipping, and mandatory pay now policy... Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I'll wait for HLJ to reopen the preorder. It's still up at amiami but I'll get this through HLJ. Better customer service if anything goes wrong. Edited March 1, 2016 by Ignacio Ocamica Quote
fenrir72 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Man, almost forgot about this one. I would have saved a lot by ordering from NY, but I was too slow. Got it at Amiami. Not my preferred web shop, but at least I got it. I'm always worried when shops are able to have a Bandai product up so long, though... :/ Why? It means they have extra stock available. Amiami isn't one those hit and run shops. Quote
Lorindor Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Fenrir72: From experience, it's strange when all others sell out in minutes. I may be paranoid because I've been burned before by HLJ with the VF-25S re-issue. But AmiAmi is also the shop that usually sells out fastest. Quote
ArchieNov Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Man, almost forgot about this one. I would have saved a lot by ordering from NY, but I was too slow. Got it at Amiami. Not my preferred web shop, but at least I got it. I'm always worried when shops are able to have a Bandai product up so long, though... :/ Same. I wanted to order from NY as well since I save a bunch off customs fees with them, but didn't make it in time. I also prefer their ordering system. But I had to order from AmiAmi instead. I find it unusual that it's been easier to preorder from AmiAmi lately (Glaug, Monster, etc) compared to NY. Quote
Lorindor Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 ArchieNov: You may be right. It has also been more difficult to grab a preorder from NY as they don't seem to open up for new preorders that often any longer. I may be wrong, but I don't think that the Glaug has been back up at NY even once. Some DX's were up like five times the first few hours. Quote
mechaninac Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Secured one (one is all I need) with Amiami. I would have preferred HLJ but they were already at Order Stop by the time I checked, and the difference in price is not that significant over Amiami's price... and I felt like I owed it to Amiami to throw them a bone after I decided not to honor my ET Silvie Gena VF-2SS preorder. Quote
technoblue Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Some photos make the size of the Monster seem workable and others make it seem out and out gigantic, even at scale. My pre-order is with HLJ, which will help as I continue to consider if I have room at home. I may end up focusing on the smaller units. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 The Monster is still available here if anyone needs one. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-181260 Quote
sh9000 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 For those of you that don't speak metric, the HMR Destroid is about 16" long (guns) and about 9" tall, and nearly 10" wide. I think the Monster can be crammed in a Detolf sideways. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) It's long gone...pg 122 had it. Edited March 1, 2016 by wmkjr Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I wonder what percentage of these sold-out preorders are headed to eBay. Quote

Lolicon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 That's such a ripoff. I'm willing to sell my extra for the low price of $100 and 24,300 cents! Quote

ZorClone Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I thought 1/60 ver 2 were a perfect scale yet not as complete as the HMR 1/100 line. I'm gonna try to refrain from getting the 1/35 line 1/35 line?? say what? Quote
vsim Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Woot, got a preorder in at AmiAmi. And yes, I picked SAL (registered), we'll see if they'll actually ship it that way when the time comes . I would have preferred HLJ but they were already at order stop when I woke up . Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Congrats on everyone who got their Monster PO. And hope it's not that bad to secure one. Anyways, if anyone interested there's someone who's selling a vintage MAC II Monster at eBay. Not sure if he's a member here. Edited March 1, 2016 by no3ljm Quote
CF18 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 1/35 line?? say what? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43122 Vaporware at this point. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 1/35 line?? say what? Just when you thought Yamato 1/48 was a nice size for a display piece, Bandai will refresh Macross with the 1/35 line. Starting with H Ichijo T.V. ver. Here's the link, enjoy http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43122 Quote
treatment Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Anyways, if anyone interested there's someone who's selling a vintage MAC II Monster at eBay. Not sure if he's a member here. Heh! That's not even an MII Monster. It's still the Matchbox Monster. This is the MII Monster, however... http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross2/destroid-giantmonster.htm no hlj preorder? You missed it. However, Amiami is one of your remaining options: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-017242 You can also try Anime-Export (pay-now-only) or N-Y, too, if either one still has it.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Congrats on everyone who got their Monster PO. And hope it's not that bad to secure one. Anyways, if anyone interested there's someone who's selling a vintage MAC II Monster at eBay. Not sure if he's a member here. He's probably making room for the HMR he just ordered. Good thing I'm not into vintage stuff. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Was up last night around 2AM EST and was able to secure a pre-order for the Monster at HLJ. It was up and available at AmiAmi and Hobby Search at the time but I specifically went with HLJ in case I decide to cancel it later. -b. Quote
Duymon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Dude, the regults are so cheap in Akiba. 6120 yen a pop at volks (53 usd) guess bad guys not so popular? (I know regult army builders will cry at this) Quote
Universe1010 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 okay i got it from amiami to combine with the glaug Quote
