MacrossJunkie Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 It's been such a long time since I've been able to order something I wanted from Ami Ami that I don't recall... do they charge immediately or when they get the product in stock and are ready to ship? Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Amazon was indeed by far the cheaper option for me (￥24,857 after shipping). Edited July 31, 2020 by MacrossJunkie Quote
Mog Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 It’s bad enough they have her in hot pink. Now, they’re snapping butt pics of Houquet: They didn’t do that to Stick! #QuitFuke-ingWithHouquet Despite some nits with the inconsistent colors and with the pinky pilot, I’m in for one. Quote
Duymon Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Amazon Japan was ￥48513 for 2 after shipping, which is basically what Amiami is charging before shipping lul Edited July 31, 2020 by Duymon Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Thanks for the heads up F360-I'm hoping Amazon JP will be 2 for 2 for my Legioss squad. Quote

Looks like somebody shoulda put a ring on it. I put a preorder on it, though. Still looks pretty damn good. Quote

MacrossJunkie Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Taking a closer look at those pics, it really does seem like they intentionally went with varying shades of red, not that I mind at all. I mean just look at this pic for example: The tip of the nose is a single piece, but the top of it is a darker red. The shoulder pieces look like they're molded in the lighter red color, but painted a darker red on the front and top whereas the angular trim on the sides are the lighter red shade. You can see the lighter red color also show through around the edges surrounding the recessed clear yellow pieces. Quote

mechaninac Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Wow! 5+ hours after the Amazon.jp link was posted and I was able to leisurely place a preorder, how wonderfully refreshing. This is also a testament of how much less popular MOSPEADA is compared to Macross, and how tone deaf Bandai is with their production numbers and product allotment when it comes to Macross DXs... specially the more popular variants. On the subject of the garish color choice for the AFC-01Z pilot, I don't have any real issue with it as correcting it, if one so chooses, is just a matter of a little paint, a steady hand, and a bit of patience... no big deal, an unnecessary inconvenience at most. HOWEVER!!!, Sentinel better not follow suit with that nauseating color on the 1/12 Houquet figure, because that would be a full stop NO SALE. Edited July 31, 2020 by mechaninac Quote

I think the main issue is there are less scalpers for this line. Its the scalpers on the macross stuff that spoils everything, even if bandai produced 10x more for their productions for pre orders, it means nothing if scalpers get every piece in hopes to flip a profit.

Mog Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Is it bad that I'm already eyeballing the Yen-to-USD exchange rate to figure out when I should pay? And yes, Sentinel needs to keep the Red Harbinger of Recessions(TM) in RED Ride Armor! #QuitFuke-ingWithHouquet Quote
Dobber Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Man this is how pre-orders should be. Just woke up for work....6am EST....checked the page and saw the links. Went to amazon and ordered. No muss, no fuss. Chris Quote

Could be, but I also think if Bandai where to make a pre-order window and announced the production run will be based off of pre-order totals from that “window”, it would keep scalpers down and allow most people to order. I’d be willing to bet the production total wouldn’t be much larger, if at all, than their normal one. This way there would be little to no incentive for scalpers to buy up the supply because most people would be able to get one on their own. Chris Edited July 31, 2020 by Dobber Quote
vladykins Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Got my order through AE nice and easy. Means I can ship my missiles, DX TV supers, and Zeta legioss all at one time in January to keep costs more reasonable. Quote

It would probably all but eliminate scalpers. Quote

Mommar Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I am assuming the release date will be pushed back a month or two. Sentinel is good for that usually. Quote
