jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I can report that my HMR Regult, that came in a box that barely fit it from CDJapan, has no broken head lasers. Quote
spanner Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 im glad to hear everyone's Regults are all in good order! Quote
arbit Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Received mine from Mykombini. They had good service and good shipping price. Although I made a mistake in the shopping cart, they cancelled it immediately. Its good to have another option in the market. I just wonder if they will learn to give more pre-order discounts in the future to compete with Amiami and HLJ, or if they will go the Nippon Yassan route with mark-ups. Quote

I just wonder if they will learn to give more pre-order discounts in the future to compete with Amiami and HLJ, or if they will go the Nippon Yassan route with mark-ups. I think it's a misconception that NY doesn't give discounts similar to Amiami and HLJ. In fact, most of the time NY's item prices are lower than either of those 2 vendors during the initial stock. They only start marking it up if their stock runs out and they need to acquire new stock, but even then they don't always increase their prices. For other vendors, usually when their initial stock runs out, they don't get new stock until the item is released. Some people have pointed out that NY's shipping is more expensive, but I never really experienced a huge disparity in their shipping prices compared to the other vendors (maybe because I live closer to Japan). Although I've noticed lately that NY doesn't restock as often as before, and Amiami seems to have been able to reopen preorders more often. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Finally got my Regults. It's the first HMR purchase I've made that I'm actually happy with. Looks great and is quite stable on its big feet. It comes with a Tamashii stand in the box... good job Bandai! Don't include them with the VF-1 (which could really use it) and include them with the Regult (which doesn't really need it). So how dirty would a Regult be after being in service for 500,000 cycles? Quote
Big s Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 The side thrusters are loose on mine, but it's a non issue. They don't hold any weight and are well balanced so they don't move on their own. The rear cannons on mine are just fine. Quote
Loop Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 has anyone got theirs with the rear laser cannons broken off? or was I the only sucker who did.. though im thinking it was due to being stuffed in a suit case for the flight from HK that did it.. If your suitcase went through the conveyor system, I could believe that it got broken. I have seen how those suitcases get thrown around. I would suggest if traveling in the future to put your loot in a carry on bag. I can't trust the airport goons to even have a tiny bit of care for your luggage. Quote
Jinyol Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 crap! My Hi-metal R Macross toy line is growing... and no problems with my rear lasers. I am loving the HMR toys. Quote
beatsing Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Can't loose joints be fixed with a thin layer of clear nail polish? I heard that works for some toys. For ball joints. Probably not for the thrusters or the rear cannons. It would gunk up the parts. Quote
jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 You might be able to apply a tiny piece of clear tape to the inside of the thrusters to add a bit of friction. Quote
beatsing Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Unscrewing the parts or tightening the screws probably tighten the parts. Quote
jenius Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Obviously if you can get to a screw then trying to tighten it should be the first effort. Quote
spanner Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 More pix: one of the Glaug's arm guns is up side down! If your suitcase went through the conveyor system, I could believe that it got broken. I have seen how those suitcases get thrown around. I would suggest if traveling in the future to put your loot in a carry on bag. I can't trust the airport goons to even have a tiny bit of care for your luggage. When she told me that it was in her suit case I did cringe a little but I didn't want to hurt her feelings and tell her is was broken because of that. I glued them back on so its all good. Quote
Big s Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I'd be worried about messing up the paint around the thrusters if using any liquids, but you can easily fit some tape in there. Quote
beatsing Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Still waiting for mine to arrive from ami ami. Went Sal registered so it might take a while Quote
Mommar Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I can't wait for the Glaug, these Regults are too much fun. Quote
F360 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 received my 2 from cdjapan yesterday by registered SAL surprise they used a smaller box, but every corner is nice and sharp . Gonna look for my small transformers for some Sunday play. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 The HMR Regults display well with the HMR Valkyries. This line is very cool and I can't wait for the Glaugs, Monsters, and everything else. Quote
seti88 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 one of the Glaug's arm guns is up side down! Nice its attached to a 360 rotating elbow then! I hope its not that the guns have to be plugged in... Quote
Mommar Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Nice its attached to a 360 rotating elbow then! I hope its not that the guns have to be plugged in... What would be wrong with that? Quote
Esponjabob Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Monster is up on HLJ. Just pre-ordered one for myself! http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN05211 Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Preordered with HLJ!!! Thanks for the link!! Quote
barurutor Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) awesome pose sh9000! Edited March 13, 2016 by barurutor Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 AmiAmi has had orders open continuously for like a month now. Quote
fenrir72 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 AmiAmi has had orders open continuously for like a month now. Yeah. They must have cornered a lot of allocated stock from BanDai. Order now folks. Btw, for products at that price level, Amiami requires you do it registered/tracking. Quote
beatsing Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Monster is up on HLJ. Just pre-ordered one for myself! http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN05211 It's up again Quote
fenrir72 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I'd hesitate doing this (if I were a Valkyrie pilot) if this was one of Millia's sisters. Iirc, all the Meltrans are genetically designed like Hideo Kojima's Beauty and the Beast Units. As in too hot and sexy to kill Quote
Old Man Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 received my 2 from cdjapan yesterday by registered SAL surprise they used a smaller box, but every corner is nice and sharp . Gonna look for my small transformers for some Sunday play. My corners were crisp too, but some of the sides were compressed in Quote
