(OUR DEMANDS NEVER END! 🤪) While I do have a sport reserved for one in my display case... I have to assume that Sentinel is more likely to milk the existing mold for a couple Dark (Shadow) toys first, before investing in a 100% new item. Quote

It is the model I was working on a few days ago. (WIP-LowPoly for now) Enjoy! Â Â Â Â This is really great work. Nice job so far! What are you using for references for it? I've been toying with the idea of doing this myself, in SolidWorks, but there are barely any concept art pics for this (which might be one it didn't look too consistent frame to frame in the animation).

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Did sentinel ever address the cracking/stressing swing arms from the previous releases? Quote

Britai 7018 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Thanks for all the links. And here comes the preorder... Agreed that the headsculpt looks a little off. A slight change would be nice - but heck, its definitely not going to turn me away. Whats strange is that the helmeted face sculpt looksa little different and better to me, but it could just be the angle. Quote

505thAirborne Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 All Pre-orders should be this quick & easy. Quote
F360 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 easy preorder.  HLJ price is good,, preordered And then I notice I still have bunch of points at CDjapan.. and their price is not bad either.. ,,also Preordered Amazon Japans seems kinda pricey this time.   Quote
Mog Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Now, we wait . . . and pray that all the shipping logistic issues get resolved by later April/early May. Edited November 8, 2021 by Mog Quote
mechaninac Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Preorder placed with CD Japan... seemed to be the best price with EMS factored in. Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 I've just placed my pre-ordered with CDJ as well. Thanks for the links @no3Ljm Preorder should be made this simple. Quote
Podtastic Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Houquet pre-ordered at HLJ. Now we just need Cap to make us another alternate visor.😊 Quote

Glasswave Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 HLJ Pre-Order COMPLETE Oh YeAH!!! Wanted a deluxe Houquet for at least 35 Years...It proves dreams can come True!! *I just hope the curse doesn't mean a global apocalypse before April* Quote
vladykins Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Completed with HLJ. I could wait for my Iota legioss (which looks like it is *finally* making it to BBTS) but I'll want this as soon as it rolls out. Quote

RavenHawk Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 For those who have preordered from HLJ, any ideas on shipping costs to the USA? I haven't ordered from them in years, and don't remember. Thanks. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 went with cdj this time around (been a while since i used anyone from japan other than amazon japan or a proxy service!), roughly 195 total shipped to the states via EMS FWIW. This will be my first houquet after what like 35+ years? ahha i do hope they improve the headsculpt though or that the aftermarket will take of it if they don't.

jenius Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Unless something is breaking on their artist proof for the marketing photos, there won't be any changes between this and the production version. Quote

Just deciding if I should wait for a BBTS preorder, since the last ones were $199 on there (with essentially free shipping, considering how much I keep in my Pile of Loot) and I don't mind waiting a little, as long as I get it.
