iguanaman8989 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 https://hlj.com/product/bann16164 Messer's back up on HLJ. Gonna preorder him there, so I'll be able to combine with Mirage's shipping, along with anything else. I do have him preordered but not paid at NY, so I think I'll wait until I have my Lil' Draken set in hand before cancelling my order, just in case there are issues. Yeah he was cheaper there, but I should be able to save most of it through combined shipping. Quote
jenius Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Chrome is telling me not to even go to nippon-yasan any more... I guess it's redirecting to a non https site that is unsecure. I mentioned before, NY combined shipping is a rip off in comparison to HLJ... if I can lump together purchases it's usually just as cheap or cheaper to pay more up front and less on shipping with HLJ. NY, you might as well just ship everything as it becomes available because lumping things together just means you pay all the individual shipping charges at once rather than the true cost of shipping one box instead of several (that's a little bit of an exaggeration, it's a tiny bit cheaper than paying all the individual shipping amounts).

Big s Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Looks like he's having fun tossing regult chunks. Quote
sh9000 Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Phalanx in the background. Can't wait to own a squad of all of the Destroids. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 I'm so excited for the spartan. I love the destroids in macross and these look like smart little figures. Quote

I just got a 1/60 but will still get 1 or 2 of these bad boys Not unless they fix that color scheme. The Tomahawk's supposed to be military tan, not lilac grey!

I think it's the lighting they are under, the Monster's arm doesn't look that pale green in real life, it's much darker. Holding out hope Bandai gets it right with a light tan color! Quote

It's a simple set of sturdy plastic walls with Gundam-specific accessories I didn't use. However, if you add your own Macross-specific accessories... ...it looks as much like the SDF-1 as it does the White Base. wait..is it this? https://hlj.com/product/BANN16163 hlj says it not out yet. also looks different. am i missing somehting here? haha Quote

spanner Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 I cancelled my Spartan with NY as I decided I won't collect anything more from HM-R line.. I will keep the Regult my gf got me and the Monster cos its the coolest thing in the HM-R line but that's it. I did however pre-order the HM-R VF-1S 35th anniversary for my son who likes the color scheme! Quote

sumyumgoy Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 At first I was only nabbing one of each non-hero release, but after finding this forum, it became 3 of each... I'm debating on backing it down to 2 lol. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Everyone should boycott Spanner for his egregious behavior towards the HM-R line.... Quote
F360 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Wow , got N-Y preparation in progress at 6:45pm , and shipped at 7:20pm Maybe they finally hired a extra help . Quote
MAC-X Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Received notice from NY that they have shipped my spartans Quote

I will sponsor his doctor's visit. But seriously, the valks are way too breakage prone. They should have used old fashioned die cast, not this new whatever material it is. However, DESTROIDS!

sh9000 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Being able to buy multiples of HMR figures at NY is a plus. Ordered 2 more Spartans at NY. I decided to have for each Destroid 6 to open and 1 to keep MISB. Maybe someday I'll get 3 more Monsters. Quote
