Anubis Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 Does any site have the Macross Figures available still? Kevin said he had them on order for VE, but no new word yet, and TAM's supply dried up in an instant. Hope I didn't miss out. If so I'll just have to make sure I put my order in early for the 2nd series. Quote
twinmoons Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah, we got a raw deal on these. We had ordered over 10 cases, and instead got ONE! Apparently the demand for these was really huge overseas. The second series is supposed to be released in February 04 and I've made it clear that we want MORE!! Quote
Anubis Posted August 27, 2003 Author Posted August 27, 2003 Yep, definately no hesitation on pre-ordering the next series. Unfortunate we got snowballed on this one, though. Quote
twinmoons Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 The second series will be different figures. These are not by Yamato but by CM's Corporation. Quote
Anubis Posted August 27, 2003 Author Posted August 27, 2003 I wonder who will be in the second series. I might have said this somewhere before but my guesses would be Roy, Misa, Myung, Sara, and maybe Basara, since they need someone else from Macross 7. Quote
imode Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I sure hope Kevin manages to stock them at VEX. I didn't bother pre-ordering either, and now *poof*, all gone. Not even HLJ or hobbyfan's got any... Quote
MicronianDevil Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 With these figures already sold out, I am guessing scalpers on eBay are going to have a real good time over pricing these figures. Quote
Anubis Posted August 27, 2003 Author Posted August 27, 2003 The scalping has already started. I saw a Minmei doll for a ridiculous price on E bay already a couple of days ago. 35 bucks starting bid I think. Give it a week and the other figures will start showing up. Quote
twinmoons Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah, I saw the scalping too. Makes ya wanna puke. I take one guy wanted over $30 for the Minmay figure. Quote
EXO Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 LOL, A friend and I were just laughing over that auction. almost $45 after S&H. Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I have a feeling these things will start showing up in unusual places, so have no fear..... Quote
trueblueeyes Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 (edited) Yeah, I saw the scalping too. Makes ya wanna puke. I take one guy wanted over $30 for the Minmay figure. Yup! ...It was the Minmay doll "chase figure". IIRC, it was an auction on Yahoo Japan. I am just happy I was able to get one of Tam's last sets of the figures. They should be here tomorrow. Can't wait! Edit to add: A big thanks to Tamim! You Rock!!! Melissa Edited August 27, 2003 by trueblueeyes Quote
Rune Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Wow I did'nt know there was this much hype over them.Glad I least got the ones I wanted. Quote
Aegis! Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Seeing that this series had characters from most sequels and prequels I think that the second series might contain Roy or Max , Basara, Edward or Sara and possibly someone from Macross Plus this time. I wonder if they would release all versions of Sharon Apple . Anyway I´m hoping to see Shin or DD Ivanov from M0 simply because I love the suits and helmet fortunately my birthday is in February so I won´t have to pay for this little gift Quote
Angel's Fury Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Hey Twinmoons, can u at least show a pic of the second series of the macross figures? Just curious how they look like. Quote
Commander McBride Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I see sharon as most likely, too. Myung just isn't as good of a candidate for a figure. Quote
twinmoons Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Hey Twinmoons, can u at least show a pic of the second series of the macross figures? Just curious how they look like. Umm, I wish I had pics, but they haven't even announced what figures they will be! Quote
Bub Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 i'm still waiting for mine to arrive Did you order online? Or reserved at a local store? I've been looking for those CM's figures all over Singapore. And it seems that none of the store owners down there ever heard of such figures........ All they show me were the Sharpeners. <_< Quote
Toonz Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 i didn't order online. i'm waiting for the stores to bring in but there is no news so far yet Quote
trueblueeyes Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Got mine today! Very cool little figures! I even was lucky enough to get the chase Minmay doll!! Thanks again to Tam for letting me know about these. ...Now I also hope that this inspires Yamato to start making Macross action figures themselves. These little gashapon figures are nice...but imagine a larger detailed Yamato action figure! mmmm! Quote

Toonz Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 but imagine a larger detailed Yamato action figure! mmmm! 1/1 millia...... B) Quote
Graham Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Got mine today! Very cool little figures! I even was lucky enough to get the chase Minmay doll!! Thanks again to Tam for letting me know about these. What's the switch on the back of the Minmay doll for? Graham Quote
trueblueeyes Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Got mine today! Very cool little figures! I even was lucky enough to get the chase Minmay doll!! Thanks again to Tam for letting me know about these. What's the switch on the back of the Minmay doll for? Graham Decoration only! Just a molded on piece of plastic. I suppose it is to make it more of a clone of the one we see in Macross. Although I really wish the switch would have allowed you to play a tune from DYRL? or the TV series...That would have been really cool! ..I will take some pics of it later and post them on this thread! These little things are terrifc though! I love the chase figure but I wish it had replaced something in the set other than my regular hair Hikaru! <_< Oh well, I should be happy that I was able to get a set! Can't wait for series two! .......................................................................................... And to Toonz and MD...D'oh! ..That is NOT what I meant! Heh! Melissa Quote
twinmoons Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) Ouch, that one cost you the Hikaru figure? Well, I guess you can put the helmet on the clear hair one and no one will know BTW, which mini transformers did you get? (PM please so I don't take this thread off topic ) Edited August 28, 2003 by twinmoons Quote

trueblueeyes Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 what about 1/1 Bretai? Only if it is that sexy bucket-head Britai from the Robotech Sentinels movie! Quote

MicronianDevil Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 what about 1/1 Bretai? That would be too big. I wouldn't be able to put him in my car to use the carpool lane. Quote
bigkid24 Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 D'oh! I was waiting on these. Aaargh! I didn't realize they had gotten so rare so quickly. Quote
