seti88 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Nice balance on the toes there yeti...it looks like an optical illusion ... how on earth did u do it.... Quote
Mommar Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I finally got mine yesterday. I've had very little time to mess with it. I'd say some of the design choices in the shoulders and hips really damages the poseability of it compared to the bare hi-metal valk however even still it's more poseable than the Yammie with the armor on. Some very wtf design choices by Bandai, however. It's a cool like figure, it'll pose well next to my Hikaru and Max 1J's and however many Regults I decide to pick up. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Nice balance on the toes there yeti...it looks like an optical illusion ... how on earth did u do it.... It wasn't even that hard. Just setup the legs, and tilted the waist until it balanced. Quote
Tking22 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So are the Regults and all of the other February Bandai goods going up for pre-order tonight? I checked in last night and saw some members getting prepared, but I figured it wouldn't be last night and instead sometime today or tonight. I just don't want to miss out, these Regults don't cost anywhere near as much as most Macross goods, and it seems like quite a few people are in for multiples, I just want to be ready to nab all that I need, plus a Figuarts Captain Phasma.

treatment Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I was going for a lance, but failed and only managed three Crusaders Are these guys in line with SRC? I've actually managed to avoid every single SRC, but kinda like that it was like 6 inch figure lines between companies and generally be the same size (unlike SoC which scale all over the place), and then they almost fit in some action figure scale and be on the same shelf! Well, the SRCs are also all over the place wrt scaling. Nevertheless, I've attached the sizing/scaling-comparo from the hacchaka-blog review that was posted here before: http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51960242.html Height-wise, the RX-0 is 140mm while the VF-25 is about 125mm. The HM-R in GBP-mode is a bit taller at prolly around 150mm/160mm, but I think the naked 1J would be around 140mm like the RX-0. I'll post some scale-pics when I get mine with my various toys like SRCs, RDs, and RGs. Quote
Sandman Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 So this preorder tonight is for February release. So i guess that after the vf-1s hi metal in Novemeber there is no bandai macross stuff coming out till February? I thought Bandai released stuff every month for Macross. Weird that there isn't a dx release scheduled from Aug to Feb next year. I was hoping for a reissue at least. Quote

I guess they're preparing some stuff on the upcoming additional Delta announcement. A sneak peek or a big revelation. We will never know... For now, this is the BEST TIME to SAVE because once they announced Delta products... we're done. Quote
bbrain Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Got mine today, anyone have luck with compensation from AmiAmi for damaged boxes? While i am happy with the product, I am sad to notice that it doesn't come with pants that fit Max.. Or the other Max's Edited September 30, 2015 by bbrain Quote
sh9000 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Woo hoo got my 2 Armored VF-1J's today. I'm going to try swapping Battroid parts and try to put all of the armor on my VF-1J Max. Edited October 1, 2015 by sh9000 Quote
yman1437 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Regult madness started ??!! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Regult madness started ??!! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 And reservation closed already. Or just a placeholder? Edited October 1, 2015 by no3ljm Quote
jvmacross Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Placeholder......says right on the page that the madness begins at 4pm japan time... Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 That's 2 AM for me Edit: Nevermind. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Good night everybody. Gonna wake up later. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Placeholder......says right on the page that the madness begins at 4pm japan time... Oppsss. I didn't see that. Probably I missed it earlier or it wasn't there yet. That's 2 AM for me Edit: Not too familiar with Bandai's marketing strategies, so what are the chances Bandai releases just the heavy and micro missiles pods later on as swappable accessories, instead of all new versions later on? I should say it's more like testing the waters on this enemy mech releases. Hopefully if this sells a lot, those add-on parts should be available via their online web exclusive shop or release it as a new complete set version. Who knows? Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks, no3ljm. A new variant would make more sense, but it all depends on how well the Regult does I guess. I'd get the variants, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Scout really. Quote
Keiichi Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Well, the SRCs are also all over the place wrt scaling.

I'll post some scale-pics when I get mine with my various toys like SRCs, RDs, and RGs. Here's a quick comparison I took of the Hi-Metal Roy VF-1S with the RD Unicorn Destroy mode (Full Action Ver.) to give an idea of what to expect from the fully nude VF-1J. Good night everybody. Gonna wake up later. *sneaks into sh9000's room to turn off his alarm* That's one less competitor for tonight's preorders! Quote
joppewo Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 So does that last sentence translate to (from ToysDaily); Quote
treatment Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) It's 10/1 in Japan now and Regult pre-order opens at the usual 16:00JST (check your equivalent local time). amiami: 5990y at http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-014125 hobby-search: 6460y at http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 I'll add other sites when I see them.

juice14 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Here's the Hobbylink one: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 Quote
Keiichi Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Here's the Hobbylink one: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 Hmm, looks suspiciously like the Hobby Search one. Quote
spanner Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 If or when NY list them then i might pick up a couple.. Quote
Cesar Enrique Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Hmm, looks suspiciously like the Hobby Search one. LOL Quote
wmkjr Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Does hobbysearch always say reservations closed before preorders start? Quote
jenius Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I believe placeholders are common on hobbysearch. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Do we know if there is a limit of 1 at every store yet? I forgot how the Hi-Metal R preorders went before. Quote
treatment Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 WAKE UP!!! <10mins before the Regult preorder-madness commences! Quote
koonfasa Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 This is what I mean. Ignore the arm, it was just unclipped. The leg just slides off. Do you think it's okay to glue it permanently or should I just thicken it? Quote
wmkjr Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I'll be happy if I can get one. Ready for the great internet meltdown? Quote
