jenius Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 No, they went, they're tamashii web exclusives. Try anime export or biginjapan. Quote

mechaninac Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 ^ ... And suddenly I'm getting severe doubts about purchasing a set. The information regarding what's included in the set has been very confusing up until this point, but with the above disclaimer from bandaionline the perceived bargain has turned into a ripoff. Quote

Zx31 Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 That disclaimer doesn't match the above content descriptions Quote 2 body set with large missile, small missile subjected to marking to airframe. Set Contains Regult small missile equipped type Regult large missile equipped type Quote
technoblue Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Nope. I need more than this to get me to pick up another set. I mean, I admit the p.banadai description is vague. That was already brought up a couple pages back, but one random online shop isn't enough for me to hit the panic button. In contrast, here's the anime-export description (the important part is in bold): A new exclusive Regult set gets in the Macross Hi-Metal R line-up!2 different Regults are included, each one of them with different markings and a different missile set. 22 cm tall, full action, made by ABS e die-cast metal TamashiWeb exclusive item.

kyekye Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 It says set of 2 (http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000116684/) Quote
HardlyNever Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 The single regult doesn't really add up, as every listing I've seen only has one option to buy. How would you choose which markings you want if it is just a single regult? Quote

Now that 2-packs are an HMR thing........ 2-pack VF-1EX Hayate and Mirage? 2-pack TV VF-1A Max and Kakizaki? A single DYRL Hikaru VF-1A release...or....3-pack Hikaru, Max, and Kakizaki VF-1A set? Or how about a 2-pack VF-1A DYRL Hikaru and Max and a 2-pack DYRL Kakizaki VF-1A and VF-1S Max? (forcing you to buy the set!!!) Then DYRL launch stands with SSP's so you are forced to buy multiples to arm-up your naked DYRL VF-1A's!!! I'm not a big HM-R collector, but I'm IN for that two. Quote
Podtastic Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Placed the pre-order for the missile Regults. Looks like I'll be having a Zentraedi Christmas. Quote

I missed the first one, and told myself (based on budget and space) that I'd stick to valks, and maybe a couple of destroids. The fact that I'm currently in the process of rewatching SDFM doesn't help. I had the similar experience but in reverse. I told myself I would stick to Zentraedi mecha but then cracked and bought some valks. Quote
enphily Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I told myself i never buy HMR, but now i have preordered VF-2SS Quote
mechaninac Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 These should be up for preordering for better than a whole month, right? I'm wondering how long I have to ponder a purchase, or more, before the window closes and I'm left SOL... I'd like to put this off as long as possible to give my wallet a chance to catch its breath, what with the pay upfront requirement and all. Quote

I'd like to put this off as long as possible to give my wallet a chance to catch its breath, what with the pay upfront requirement and all. I'm not sure about the month thing. I think Premium Bandai items are made to order in batches. Once a batch is allocated to customers, that's it, and it has to do really well for Bandai to consider doing another batch. The pay now thing is not really a big deal. If you are worried about how NY does it, then I can easily recommend anime-export. They don't mess around with shipping, and they have a nice private warehouse feature if you want to combine shipments. Quote
Slave IV Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 NY seems to have most preorders for Exclusives open until around a month before release. I've been watching the items and this seems to be the case but if you are worried, I'd say do it within a month. I haven't ordered them yet because I have a bunch of other exclusive items I want and at this point, exchange rate will make a significant difference so I'm hoping it swings up for me a bit before I place my order.

RDX17 Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 The product listing is now up on Tamashii's website as well: http://tamashii.jp/item/12256/?wovn=en Quote

Loop Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I ordered 2 sets of the Missile Regults, I also hope the scout gets made. I could see it happening as this seems to be one of the most complete lines ever if they release all the stuff they have shown too. Quote
Aye Aye Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 I sold my original Regults and then regretted it. Wife (who is Japanese) confirmed the set contains two Regults in the above mentioned post, which necessitated an instant PO. I own zero HM-R valks, but PO'd the hell out of the VF-2SS. It has been 25 years in the making, and a wish fulfilled since the old B-Club magazine that featured the craptastic, transformable model kit Bandai did in 1992. I don't care at all about the alt-universe situation, I have lots of love for the VF-2SS, and the ET line was just not cutting it. Bandai putting in work on the HM-R line and its paying dividends!

seti88 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Hmm dammit, get this regult set or allocate the moolah for an arcadia SDF-1... Quote
