ps99042 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Paid off my pre-order just now. Had to take a double take when I saw the invoice but shipping isn't free of course. Then I saw this

Dobber Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Yay! I am able to order the Shin with the discount too! Chris
Corrinald Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Same here. I gave in and ordered one today and they honored the discount
kkx Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I wonder if this special will become available in retailer in US soon. This is the second in their DreamCat series. The first one - a JSDF F-14 is available in BBTS.

kkx Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Flying mule now have it listed. With the 20% pre-order discount, and shipping at $5, it is a nice deal.

Yup, I paid over $20 more (with the pre-order discount) ordering it directly. Slightly higher base price, and $25 for shipping, rather than $5. Ought to get it faster at least, and don't have to go thru Flying Mule if there are issues. Edited July 15, 2020 by Sanity is Optional
Dobber Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 So Noel said they’d give the discount and that Cally will invoice. Cally emailed me yesterday asking me to verify my delivery address so she could invoice me. Haven’t received my invoice yet. Did any other late comer get their invoice yet?

Dobber Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Disregard I checked my mail first thing and there was nothing. It was sent while I wrote my message here LoL! Paid in full now. Chris

I was about 24 hours late on the discount cut off, yet Cally honored it and sent me an invoice the next day. Shipping is rather spendy ($25), but what the heck. If it is half as amazing as the press photos show it's worth it.

ErikElvis Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Getting on the calibre train! Emailed for the F14 shin. Didn’t get the discount though.

Rogueload Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Looks like Big West has put their 2 cents in about this Mac Zero F-14.

I'll be very cautious as I open the box, take it out, and put it on a shelf for display. I'm all about intellectual property. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, when you drop the ball as badly as Big West has and there significant customer base is not getting what they want.......well.......I don't feel THAT bad about it. There s no way that Big West and HG can't figure out a way to make more money by importing Macross stuff to the US. I mean seriously, if they only got $2/ unit it s $2/ unit more than they're getting now.

I do blame them for barely working with anyone else.

From the little I have read about HG they sure are a cluster. It's a shame. 3 minutes ago, Corrinald said: Agreed. Somebody somewhere has to acknowledge how much Macross merchandise gets sold to North America I've had a few patent trolls come after me. I held my nose as I made a deal. But at the end of the day I got to sell what I wanted to sell and they really didn't ask that much. They're working off of the volume approach. A little of a whole bunch of stuff is a lot more than a lot of nothing.

Damn right. I won't buy anything with HG or Robotech on it. I'd rather give my money to a 3rd party knock off company in China than to anything "Licensed" by HG. Fuk HG.
jvmacross Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 BW...HG...if it looks good and is of good quality...it gets my money...
F360 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 so with BigWest posting this warning up on the Macross site, is Calibre Wings going to cancel this Shin release?
Sanity is Optional Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 I wonder if the Shin release was supposed to be for one of those pop-up events that companies can buy day-licenses for. Like the previous Macross branded Calibre releases. If the event was cancelled, but the contracts to produce the F-14s was already signed, that might explain this.
